Negligent Lipstick

Today I wore this glittery shrug from F21, puff sleeve chiffon blouse plucked from the American Apparel warehouse sale, J Brand skiiiinny leggin' jeans and H&M pumps with studs all over the heels. And vans sunglasses.


This lipstick is Revlon Super Lustrous in Temptress and it's from that bag of freebies I'm working my way through.
I like this shade and formula, because it's sheer and I can apply it in that negligent way busy ladies love - fast, not-really-looking, messy- it works. Since I'm not riding on pink tires right now, I feel like I need to compensate with pink lipstick and super-girly clothes. 

LipStain is Perfect for Snaggle-Tooths

My very own snaggle tooth that lipstick always gets on.

I saw this Revlon lip stain - Just Bitten in Flame- on some silly blog or magazine and thought I might get some for a nice lite lip color for summer. I realized that stains don't get on Snaggle Teefs and this made me very happy. 

This was the hottest day New York City has experienced. People are pushing the limits with shorts at the office. I got on board. I love all forms of civil disobedience.
God, I know I am so white. 

This is my summer easy make-up for sweaty-faced summer days:

MAC Concealer (I wear NC20 because I'm the palest)
Studio Fix Lash Mascara
Revlon Lip Stain/Just Bitten in Flame
MAC Pentabulous Liquid Eye Liner
Peachy-shade blush (I broke it out of the compact so I don't know the shade name)
MAC Paint Pot in Bare Study - It's the bomb because I apply it with my finger and it's a base and sometimes I put gold on top or navy or gray or black or plum. Get some. 

I put some MAC Lip Glass on top of my stain for moisture and gloss before I left.


I think it's a good thing that I stop mid-commute and take a little break and take pics in the park. Sweat Break! Rest. 


And the A/C at work actually froze me to deaf. 

Hot Tamale Nail Polish Doesn't Make it Warmer Outside

No bicycles. Just can't. Too WiCKED COLD.

My outfit is - Walmart glasses $3 to protect my eyes from the grit that flies around on the city streets - H&M Scarf - Work sample jacket - Roxy Shirt - L.A.M.B. jeans & sneakers - F21 Beanie in my hand.




This polish is Revlon Red Hot Tamale. I want my nails & lips to be ORANGE RED right now.
And that's my My Melody Sanrio for McDonald's Happy Meals watch. Love her.
I also love painting my nails on the Gossip Bench. It's a sweet set-up.

This is my outdoor look for today, after work this evening, in a dressing room at the Gap - Had to hit that clearance again.
I got this L.A.M.B. Torsten Crossbody around Christmas for cheaper than the price at this link, but I like these photos. It's light weight and cross-body is very nice in NYC for hands-free living.

Make-Up Stuff

Since I "lost" my 2009 blogs... I'm putting these make-up ones back up because I got so many emails about their goodness and inspiration.

I've also opened my blog back up to keyword searches by Google. This was a deliberate and well-thought-out move in my new career situation.

Here's a look that came from a Revlon eye-shadow quad purchased on-sale at the Duane Reade:

It's like a "denim" colors quad.
And I wear MAC prolash mascara. I try new kinds of MAC mascara, but I always go back to pro-lash. Coal black, please.


These were the color-items involved:


Here's the little custom palette MAC sells. I broke out the harness that would hold 4 eye-colors in place because I sometimes put a blush in here:


Here are my favorite new eye-brow tools.
The Sally Hansen eye-brow shapers I saw on Toddlers & Tiaras and it's fast for when you don't want to pluck. It makes the area under your eye-brow really smooth. The Revlon Brown Brow Fantasy pencil is simply bad-ass.
