    I feel like when I put on lipstick, it’s the one thing that pulls everything together and is the final touch to completion. It’s kind of odd, but I also feel slightly more grown up too, although I am a grown up already.

    I drink tea (GOO TEAVANA…!) religiously every day, and because of that my teeth are a bit stained. My family likes hot tea, and I’ve only recently started to drink it cold with a straw.
    Some lipsticks make my teeth look FREAKIN’ yellow.

    Although many people feel like lip stick (especially red) can be a bit much,
    I feel as though RED lipstick including all lipstick,
    should give any woman a confidence boost.
    Lipstick is very seductive and sultry & when worn well sends off what I call the “come hither” look.
    I love and use all types of lipstick.
    From Yves Saint Laurent’s Rouge Volupte #22 to Lancome’s Color Fever Matte.
    I feel like Lipstick masks who you are on a day to day basis, & gives you a alter ego in the nature of a sexy vixen.
    When I put it on any color lipstick, I feel empowered & I hope most woman can have that sense of empowerment when they wear it also.

    Lipstick or lipgloss is the last thing I put on for the day. I do my entire face, then my hair, then earrings and watch and then my lipgloss/stick. It really puts the finishing touch on a look. Your lipstick makes or breaks the look. I have so many so I can always choose the perfect shade for that cherry on top.

    I have been reading your blog for quite some time now, and I got to say that I am so impressed with you as a person! You make me smile, and seem like a genuine and warm being. Self irony and lots of good tips and pictures. I am from Norway, so no point in entering your contest I guess, but I just wanted to say that I really love your blog, and the pics of Tabbie get me in a good mood! I’m gonna keep reading this blog as long as I have a face to put make up on.

    I actually bought a Chanel lipstick today, thanks to your recommendation, and I am so far very impressed, can’t stop looking at the shimmer in every mirror..

    Thank you for being who you are, you bright up my life 🙂

    Love from Norway!

    Lipstick. What can I say? I’ve been in an ongoing love affair with it since my childhood days. I’d stand in front of my mother’s vanity mirror, rummaging through her unorganized make-up pile (which she’d later blame me for, though it was disheveled before I’d arrived), applying every different shade. During one occasion, I believe I even applied it all over my face for some queer reason.

    When I was deemed old enough for my own, I rejoiced, and it’s been an obsession since. Since I’ve gone through many strange phases of pinks and oranges, even blacks and purples (!), but that’s what lipstick is all about for me. Some get headaches picking out the perfect shade; I’m content to continue rummaging through the varieties and experimenting. Lipstick to me means a hell of a lot of fun, experimentation and a great way to accentuate my favorite feature!

    Lipstick allows a woman to have multiple personalities. Lipstick is a lifesaver for when you are feeling “blah”. It’s a multitasker…for the cheeks, lips and eyes. Lipstick ranks right up there with chocolate as one of the things that makes a woman feel good.

    To me, lipsticks are more than just cosmetic…. they’re also my childhood memories =]

    I think it was when I was 6 years old, i was home watching this movie and this beautiful actress (it was a foreign movie) with olive skin and creamy brown hair was wearing this hot red dress and was applying this magnificent red lipstick. She was wearing the lipstick as she was looking in the mirror. And as a young kid, looking at that woman in that red lipstick was a shock and so after that i often stood by the mirror and applied not a red lipstick, but a cherry flavored chapstick bahahaha

    Also, i don’t wear too much eyeshadows so the only color that I can have on my face are on my lips. I just love everything about lipstick because it shows feminity, sexuality and sensuality of women XD
