Method 2 My Madness
Okay. So you know how I promised y'all pictures from Australia? And I didn't deliver?
Well, I have what I feel to be a legitimate reason why said pictures have not been posted.
My computer has almost no memory left. Seriously. Hubby and I are going to take the plunge and buy a new PC sometime in April. Which isn't that far away if you really think about it.
But right now I live in fear that any little thing that I add to the computer will send it lurching over the edge into crash-dom. And I know, I just know, that I will lose everything on the computer at that point. An idea that is too scary to contemplate in all of its lurid details.
But because I am already contemplating it: iTunes gone. Current pictures gone. Random college papers gone. (Not too broken up over that last one.)
So, I just wanted to let you know that it is not just because I am too lazy to jump through the hoops of posting pictures on Blogger. Being lazy is only part of the problem.
And to give you something to tide you over until April:
LIP REVIEW 2006 PART II!
Yay yay yay! Here goes!
This is the one where I tell you about my past failures in finding the perfect lipstick. But stay tuned! I have a super duper surprise waiting for you at the end!
NARS Lip Gloss
I purchased this in my quest for a lip stain. This is not a lip stain. I just found that out. But I won't go into that here. The color that I used is Talitha. The color is just okay on me. I definitely felt like I had trout-mouth. I honestly do not remember what kind of consistency it had, but I won't let that stop me from grading it!
Grade: C. I have definitely used better. (And cheaper!)
Stila Lip Glaze
I purchased this in Starfruit. I like this product a lot, but not because of what it did for my lips. It has the coolest applicator ever! You twist the bottom of the stick to get some of the gloss out of the tube, and it comes up through this little paintbrush thingy. Then you paint your lips! Literally! The texture is slightly sticky, and I felt like I had to reapply all the time.
Grade: B+. Gotta give it props for its cool packaging!
MAC Lip Pencil
This next try was really recent, and I can't say that I really gave it a fair shot. I presented my lipstick problem to my hair-guy because he used to teach a make-up class. He recommended that I try filling in my lips with a lip pencil and then using my gloss of choice over that. I seriously only tried it twice, and then I left it for good. Not because of any ill-effects from using a lip pencil. Anyway, this is more of an FYI, because I am not going to grade it. I purchased a lip pencil from MAC and the color is Half-Red. So now you know.
And now ladies.....
(I assume any gentlemen readers have gone somewhere else long ago.)
The best news ever ever ever!
I found it! The perfect lipstick! For me! Woooooooo hoooooooo!
Now, just to reassure you, this doesn't mean that I will stop looking at others. I am not faithful when it comes to my lips. I will always have some of this on me, (God willing, and manufacturer willing) (oh please oh please do not let me have found this just to have them discontinue it!!!!)
So there will probably be more lip reviews in the future. Because, you know, lip stuff is fun!
Here it is!
Max Factor Colour Perfection
It is wonderful! I am using Chenille. The color is perfect for me because it is almost the same shade as my lips, so it looks really natural! The consistency is great! It only dries my lips out the teeny-tiniest bit! I definitely struck gold with this one!
Grade: A+. I love it! Perfect perfect perfect!
