A Fresh Start ... & some lippies


I have never been one that has been a weekly poster or even a monthly one but I'm always lerking on blogs. 2010 has been a tough year for me but I'm ready for 2011 and what better way than to revive Beauty Smack~Talk?!



Lately I have been not only wearing lipstick (I'm typically a sweatpants and hoodie girl) but layering it with gloss. I've enjoyed choosing a lipstick and pairing it with a lipgloss to give it a 'pop'!


My favorites have been Estee Lauder's lipstick in Pinkberry (my HG lipstick) paired with Buxom's lipgloss in Clair, Rimmel's lipstick in Vintage Pink paired with Buxom's lipgloss in Star, and Rimmel's lipstick in Airy Fairy paired with Smashbox's lipgloss in Baby Pout.

Rimmel's Airy Fairy quickly took over my HG lipstick in my makeup bag. I blame it on the SupeRope Licorice smell that surrounds me once I uncap Airy Fairy ;) Both Airy Fairy and Estee Lauder's Pinkberry smell delicious and are a pinky/nude but lately Pinkberry has been left on my counter.

While peeking around the Rimmel lipstick section, I stumbled upon Vintage Pink. For whatever reason, it caught my eye. Unlike Airy Fairy, Vintage Pink didn't stand out to me as being raved about via youtube and the blog worlds - though I have since buying discovered Vintage Pink is loved by many. It is a bit daring for me. There is nothing crazy about the color but for one that is just breaking into the world of lipstick it was a bit of a stretch for me. The name is a bit deceiving. To me, it's a mixture of a deep purple with mauve - definitely NOT PINK. On my lips it's a great contrast to my pale winter skintone.

Lately, I've been feeling a bit guilty about leaving Pinkberry @ home and just laying in my lip drawer. Because of the scent all Estee Lauder lipsticks have, I swear you could get me to try just about any color, lol. I love the fruity/floral scent, along with how moisturizing it is - the pretty color payoff puts it over the top (perhaps that order is wrong but you get the picture)!
