Almost Lipstick has siblings!

Woah. January 4th! I apologize for slacking with the posts. I've been occupied with procrastination, school, and well...laziness. But, I AM HERE NOW, posting. :D As for now, I would like to discuss the bringing back of Almost Lipstick's new shades. But before I start, I have a story:

It was late October, and I had been lusting for a Clinique bonus, which featured a sample of their Chubby Stick. With fourty dollars in hand, I wandered around the series of Clinique counters, trying to decide on my purchase. As I swatched the gold-infused strawberry shadow, I overheard an elderly woman requesting a product with a Clinique consultant.

"I would like to repurchase the Almost Lipstick in that pink shade I used to wear." she exclaimed.

Physically, I continued to swatch, but on the inside, my curiosty peaked. Pink Almost Lipstick? I had heard amazing things about the Black Honey one, but the shade wasn't exactly 'me'. A sheer, girly hue would was more up my alley.


"I'm sorry, but we discontinued all shades of the Almost Lipstick except for one: Black Honey. It suits all skin tones," he told her, "It looks good and different on every one!"

25 Days of Maquillage: Day 9 -- Stocking Stuffers for Nice Girls! (Part 1 of 2)

She's been angelic all year! She deserves something pink and sweet nestled in her stocking ! Here's my picks:


Clinique Long Last Shine Set ($25.00)
Long last Glosswear SPF 15 in Cabana Crush, Kissyfit, Air Kiss, and Fireberry bring out the nicest in any girl. The formula quenches a thirsty pout and gives lips a dose of the long-lasting shine and SPF she's been craving all year long. Stash them in Clinique's festive silver bag.

25 Days of Maquillage: Day 8 -- Snowflake Grapesicle Manicure

Add caption

To celebrate the glamour, sparkle, and snow of the season, I dreamt up a festive manicure: Snowflake Grapesicle.
You'll need:

• Very fine loose white glitter with blue duochrome (I purchased mine in a set at Hobby Lobby.)

25 Days of Maquillage: Day 7 -- Stila Color Me Stila App!

I remember when I had an iPhone  (why do hand-me-downs always break?!) Into the search bar would be the names of popular cosmetic brands. I searched every last app out there, hoping that I would find a makeover app featuring a favorite brand. I was thrilled when Clinique launched a skincare-weather app, but words cannot describe my feelings towards Stila's release of their new app: Color Me Stila. Except disappointment. Disappointment because I don't have an iPhone (or any i-thing with apps.)

Mr. Bright's on Sale!

No, this doesn't mean you can purchase the man of your dreams for a decent price. *Slap* *Slap* Love should be free! I'm saying that Benefit's Finding Mr. Bright Kit (Originally $36.00) recently dropped it's price on Benefit's website!

25 Days of Maquillage: Day 6 -- Philosophy Much Mistletoeing!

The last thing one would want is dry, unalluring lips under the mistletoe!

Aloha, gorgeous. Today I have a very miniscule set for you :). It's Benefit's Tan About Town ($10.00).
