Make-up Fun: Lip Edition

One of the most fun things about makeup is playing up one feature, and doing so with your lips is super easy.  I love lipstick, I have a lot of them, but I hate lipgloss.  If there were one product that could not exist, I would pick lipgloss.  I think it stems back to eighth grade when I had to walk from 2^nd period French, which was outside in the mods, to Algebra, which was inside. I had a lot of books to carry between those classes and every girl was super into lipgloss that year (those Victoria’s Secret ones, you know what I’m talking about).  So, I’d wear some then the wind would blow while I was walking to class, getting my hair stuck in my lipgloss and I would be holding so many books I couldn’t get it out.  It’s sticky, tacky, my hair gets stuck in it, and I feel like I can’t eat/drink/kiss anything with it on; I just don’t like it.  Luckily, I own plenty of lipsticks. 

My absolute favorite is Clinique’s Blushing Coral, except it’s discontinued! Look how little I have left! If someone knows a color that’s extremely similar, please share. Clinique’s Raspberry Glacé is another one I like and wear a lot.  All my other colors I tend to wear sparingly.  I wanted a true red statement lip, so I went to MAC and got Russian Red, which is a matte finish.  I like it, and I think if worn correctly it looks good.  However, my ex-boyfriend hated it (funny how he keeps coming up isn’t it? I guess he affected my make-up choices more than I thought. Weird and annoying.), the color just wasn’t his thing, and my best friend recently told me she didn’t like it.  I’m going to continue to try to make it work, but it might unfortunately not be worn much.  Although I do love how the packaging reminds me of a little bullet.  As for chapstick, I have tried many, but my current favorite is C.O. Bigelow's Lemon lip balms.  I currently have the Lemon and Black Cherry one as well.
