Since the majority of my wardrobe is classified as “Business Casual” (i.e. skirts, blazers, button ups etc.) it’s rare that I actually have a casual down day. However for a shake up in the world of suits the company I work for had an “Opposite Day (or casual)” So I broke out my t-shirt and challenged myself to make it feel more professional. I didn’t want to wear chunky jewelry or heels so I went to the one thing that can make any casual outfit feel fabulous and pulled together… Lipstick!
If you remember from a post a LONGGG time ago (Flashback) I used to never wear lipstick and now I’d like to make a time machine and go kick myself in the butt. How could I go years without wearing lipstick, it’s just fabulous.
Do you wear Lipstick? The lipstick I wore is “Coral Crush” by Maybelline
I used to the be the same about lipstick. My sister still is! I’m pretty sure you’re younger than me, but back in the mid-to-late nineties and into the early 2000′s it was all about lip gloss. Lipstick has obviously made a HUGE comeback in the past few years and the formulas are so much better than they used to be. I’m trying to convert my sister because I fear she’ll look dated (she’s 31). Gotta help a sistah out!
lol.. Yes, I’m 25 and when I was in high school it was all about the glossy lips.. So much my high school could have been crowed queens of the glossy hair ends (wind, gloss = no bueno)
Sorry, that one was just so long I split it up: I just wanted to say your eyes look SO gorgeous here! The coral really pulls the green out of them
You know what’s funny… I have blue eyes, but for some reason that morning the light and the grass came together and gave me green eyes. The only edit I did to this photo was taking away a zit on my chin. I found it quite weird.
p.s. look at the first pic… blue eyes. I’m tripping lol
I have just gotten into lipstick lately. Mostly just red. And you will appreciate this crazy deal rocking… Rue La La had a pay $25 for $50 to Lord & Taylor gift card. I had two referrals, so I only paid $5. I couldn’t find any shoes I liked at Lord and Taylor, so I ended up buying a Chanel lipstick (and gloss too). for $5 out of my pocket! The lipstick is just unbelievably smooth and doesn’t budge. I’m trying to wear it as much as i can. I’m still not over that shopping high!
ooohhh I love that! I love Chanel Makeup, I just can’t spend on it. I have Smashbox and Maybelleine right now and I have to admit I love Maybelliene so much more.
oh i would choose Maybelline over Smashbox too! I think I had a comment rant about Smashbox on one of your previous posts, it has always disappointed me, although i have not tried their lipsticks.
i’m rubbing off on you. My eyes change from blue to green all the time!! I’m nervous to wear lipstick…… i think it looks funny on me.
