Before I left Mr. & Mrs. K's house, Mrs. K let me delve into her lipstick drawer to try out a few possibilities for crossing of the following on my 30 before 30...
I've never been very big into lipstick.
I've owned maybe two in my entire adult life.
So, when picking my perfect shade, I had NO idea where to start.
Mrs. K tossed her stash in front of me, and I went to work.
I judged them on the look on me, how well it would stand up to all seasons, how long it would last, cost and how it felt on my lips.
I started with Mary Kay's Amber Suede...
(...ooo too dark, and expensive...)
...and Apricot Glaze.
(...not bad...but the cost gets me, and wasn't too sure about the feel...)
Then moved to Loreal's Infalliable Barely Nude...
(...and the point of wearing bascially nothing???...)
...and Bloom.
(...not bad...didn't like the color for night though, and it seemed to be sticky...)
Then moved to Maybelline's Totally Toffee...
(...too brown...)
...Cover Girl's Lipstain...
(...too orange...)
...Clinique's Sweet Honey..
(...do I even want to know how much this costs???...)
...and finally Revlon's ColorStay Sheer Rosette...
(...felt good...color is good for day and night...cost effective...feels great on the lips and has a gloss for when it feels dry...)
...and Always Sienna.
(...again, very cost effective, gloss for "dry" times, but the color seemed a little dark for daytime...)
After reviewing my choices, Revlon's Color Stay definitely won hands down. The Sheer Rosette Color looked great, and will now join the foundation, bronzer, and mascara that are in my makeup case.
Yes, you heard me right...I have three things in my makeup case, with a couple eye shadows for the special occassions.
