Modern Love

Dull and rainy day.  The kind of day that makes one wish they had not applied layer upon layer of L'Oreal Voluminous mascara on their eyelashes because it simply smears when you walk out the door.  Speaking of Voluminous, I fell back in love with it today after a slight hiatus.  My eyelashes look like falsies, which lately has been the look I am loving.  I have it in the Carbon Black version.




I also wore another product from L'Oreal today.  It is one of their endless wear lipsticks in the color "In the Buff."  It is a rather nice nude.  Some find it drying, but I would never wear it without chapstick, so I don't seem to have that problem. 

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.
