The Return of the RED lips

I'm officially in love with red lips!  Up until about a month ago, I'd never wore lipstick!  I'd always used a tinted lip gloss, or anything else I could use (such as eyeshadow) to give my lips a subtle color.  I finally went out and actually bought lipstick!  I have no idea what possessed me to do it, but I did it. 

I got to go to town yesterday, which is a big deal to someone who spends their entire life out in the bush at work.  I had lunch with my wonderful Uncle, and then did some quick shopping for everyone else out here.  I only made it to London Drugs, and I spotted the new Burlesque Nail Polishes from OPI.  I fell in love with the Purple sparkly one, its called.... Show it & Glow it (thanks to in InStyle Magazine for having the names in the OPI polishes in an add)  I picked it up and then put it back (a first for me!)  Because there is NO way I'm paying $17.99 for a bottle of nail polish!  After that I figured I'd better vacate the make-up area before my will power went through the window!

Now anyone who knows me, knows I can't go into a store without buying something!  I made plans with some guys I work with to take a trip this spring.  We've decided on Thailand!!  I'm pretty excited, so saving money is going to be a lot easier!  All I need to think about is VACATION, and I'm pretty sure the money will be stuffed back in my pocket and the beautiful things returned to the shelves!  I also mentioned this trip to my Aunt and Uncle yesterday and it sounds like they might be heading there with us!  I think that would be great!!  Anyways, enough about that, lets get on to my makeup!

So now that you all know I went to town, I couldn't go looking like a frump, which is why I decided on the bright lips!  I had initially done a smokey eye, but for some reason it just wasn't working for me!  I know its a little smoky, but it isn't exaclty what I was looking for.  I ended up covering it with a yellow pigment called "Pineapple" from GOSH cosmetics.  I think the base layer was MAC in Knighted.  I wasn't thrilled with the way my eyeshadow turned out, but I was WAY too lazy to take it all of and start new!  Regardless, I think I looked okay and nobody stared at me funny, so I guess that's a bonus!  The only thing I had to constantly watch was lipstick on my teeth!  For some reason, yesterday was a terrible day for that!  But whatever I suppose, it's happened to all of us, so I'm not going to let it get me down!  I will for sure be wearing something similar to this again! 

 Well, now that my post has been all over the place I think I'm going to just be quiet, add pictures and post!  I hope you all have a lovely day!
