>I thought I’d do a quarterly review of my New Year’s goals. OK, the quarter isn’t technically over, but I thought this would be as good a time as any to add a new beauty goal to my list. I’m going to try to wear lipstick on a regular basis.
My lips are chapped…alot. I slather on the lip balm like it’s going out of style, but nothing really helps. So, I thought why not just wear lipstick?
The problem has always been that I never find one that I like. I’ve been engulfed in various pinks and while I enjoy pink, as a lipstick it never really stirred my pot.
Red has always intrigued me, but I’ve never felt comfortable wearing it. It’s a bold color. It’s easy to pick the wrong one. Would I look like a clown? Is it too dated? Maybe it’s retro?
Today, I just picked the reddest red I could find and it looks fabulous! I feel pretty. Whether or not it makes me look like a clown, I don’t really care. I’m tired of drowning in a safe pink or god forbid, dusty rose.
I put it on and asked my mom what she thought and got, “Oh…no…”
Thanks for bursting my bubble. I shouldn’t ask for an opinion. If a new beauty product looks good, a compliment will come unsolicited. Plus, I like it, so there.
>I LOVE the color on you!! I have two recommendations… ready? 1. http://www.lushusa.com/Mint-Julips/03057,en_US,pd.html?start=1&q=mint%20julips (I wish I knew how to shorten the link) It's a lip exfoliator, I use it every night before bed. Also, look up the new Revlon Colorbust Lip Butter… Pretty color, super moisturizing 🙂
