Haul, well sort of...

I purchased Lash Blast last night.  I haven't used that mascara in probably over 3 years and I couldn't remember if I liked it or not, which may be a bad thing.  I was reading one of my favorite blogs, "Pearls and Poodles" and Milly was raving about the mascara after she picked it up after a recent trip to NYC.  I decided to give it a go again.  I haven't worn it, but after using it for a while, I am sure a review will be in order.

I also bought strawberry Carmex.  Carmex is literally my favorite thing to wear on my lips.  I lasts forever and I don't have to worry about re-applying it at work and such.  I have the potted version of the original Carmex, but I needed one with SPF, so I opted for the strawberry tube.  Loves it.

I am too tired to post pics, and I don't see the point as most people know what both products look like, lol. Perhaps after I nap I shall upload some.

Well...

As not to make it a year since my last post, I have decided to take up blogging yet again. Let's skip the boring rant about being busy and such.

I recently purchased the Revlon lipstick in Pink Pout that is part of their matte line. I had heard it could be a decent dupe for the Viva Glam Gaga lipstick and Mac Snob. I was hesitant at first about buying it, but ended it up picking it up at my local Target for around 5 dollars. We were going out to dinner that night, so I decided to put it on. I put a layer of Carmex as I had heard the matte lipsticks tend to be extremely drying. After I applied it, my mother said she liked it. For some reason, my mother's opinion of makeup and clothes always solidifies things for me. She then went on to say that I looked like one of the girls on Jerseylicious on the Style Network. I don't really mind that either.... I still can't decide if I can actually pull it off. The lipstick has a blue undertone and for someone with Olive Skin such as myself, I just can't decide. I had a light blue Michael Kors blouse on today for school, so I decided to give the lipstick a try. I actually liked it and did not get as many strange looks as I thought I would from people around campus. The staying power is nice. I would never put the lipstick on without a chapstick underneath. I noticed that about after three hours, lines started to show on my lips. But, I was drinking a beverage in class, so rubbing off is to be expected. While I am still not sure if it is the right lipstick for me, I do think the color is gorgeous. I am gonna to keep wearing it most likely, until someone tells me I look like a crazy person.
