Like Rachel Zoe is to MAC's Chili Lipstick


I one day want to be affiliated with a certain lip color.  But as we all know (some more than others) I am a makeup slut so that ain't happening anytime soon.  I just fall in love too easy and am addicted to trying new things. (get your head out of the gutter!!!)

About 4 months ago my lovely mother had a birthday and being the pushy broad that I am I bought her some makeup.  I had read good things about NAR's Gipsy lipstick and thought, what the heck, everyone needs to try something new.  I sent it to her and then immediately forgot about it. She was visiting a couple weeks ago and said "this is the lipstick you got me, what do you think?" It was beautiful! A very sheer berry color that can go from day to night.  Of course I ran out to get it for myself just to be sure my eyes weren't deceiving me. True enough, it looked nice on me too. I need to test it out on a few more people but I think it may be one of those magical colors that looks good on everyone.   Plus as of now this is my signature lipstick. Look out Rachel Zoe, I am on your tail. Your very skinny and tan tail. 

Clearly They Were Not Referring To My Boobs.......


when they named this product. Because if my boobs were being questioned as being fake they would obviously be bigger and not the fried eggs that I am sporting currently.  If the option were available I certainly wouldn't go overboard. Maybe like a full "B" cup. Nothing crazy, just a little something something if you know what I mean.

Ok, I digress.  I have always been a big advocate of buying drugstore mascara as I thought they were on par with the major lines such as Lancome and Dior.  Recently I had to replenish some stock and received a sample of Benefit Cosmetics "They're Real" from Sephora.  I am in love!  This mascara has a brush that is totally amazeballs and it really grabs every little lash.  The mascara is smudge/budge proof which is helpful in the humidity. It is a thicker formula than I am used to but it really makes your lashes fat and full but calorie free.  It retails for 22.00 and is available at Sephora and at benefitcosmetics.com.
