Inspired by Lipstick

Yesterday, I indulged myself in a bit of lipstick shopping.
Let me start by pointing out that I am the queen of cheap. Over $10? Too pricy! I get most of my makeup from the grocery store or the pharmacy. If it’s good enough for America’s Next Top Model (Cover Girl) or Project Runway (L’Oreal), it’s good enough for me!
But when it comes to lipstick….. I indulge. I spend. I am totally in love with lines like Laura Mercier and Trish McEvoy.
The Lip Color (Shimmer) in Amaretto is so vital to my makeup drawer that when I ran out, I was lost without it. I actually went to the Laura Mercier counter at Belk’s and bought another one yesterday. By the way, it looks ENTIRELY different from that odd color on the website. It’s a lovely red/brown with bronze undertones.
Is it bad to spend $22 on lip gloss? I certainly feel really guilty about it. At least, until I put one of these on. Then I don’t feel guilty at all! The Ambre Rose Lip Gloss is a gorgeous red/brown/bronze color, similar to the Amaretto lipstick but in gloss format, and the two look perfect together. The Brownberry lip gloss color is also amazing! Um…. I bought them both. :)
All summer, I wore Trish McEvoy’s Glaze Lip Color in Iced Mocha almost every day! It’s pink in precisely the right way – not too pink (I hate too-pink lipstick!!) – and was perfect for all sorts of occasions.
Can you tell I like lip glazes and shimmers? I guess I need more matte!
Fantastic shoes to match fantastic lipstick:
