(Re)discovery

  
    Remember "mood" lipstick? It's back, baby! This season's popular shocking pink lip can be gotten for a few dollars. These things RULE! Some vendors have a little chart showing you which bizarre color turns which shade of coral or pink.

      I got a baby blue one today that morphs into a neon pink combination of lip-stain and lip-gloss. After it sets, you can blot off some of the shine to get that "bitten" look. But remember, don't test them on your hand, it can be really hard to remove later! 


Happy October

      Since it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'd like to present OPI's Pink of Hearts, proceeds from the sales of which goes to breast cancer cure research. 

       I was on a lovely perusal of this odd little beauty supply shop by the movie theater today (Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, it was pretty cute, gotta love those two but that whole schtick is getting pretty banal; the drunk chick saved it), and while the cashier was ringing up my purchases I spotted it on the counter: the most perfect, classic ballet pink polish. 

Perfect product placement for once! But let me tell you, breast cancer is the only way I'd buy an $8 bottle of nail polish, no matter HOW perfect the pink...
