The Perfect Red

I went on a quest to find the perfect dark red lipstick.  After seeing all of the fall runway looks with dark red lips I knew that I needed to get one for myself.  The sales woman at Sephora pointed me in the direction of Make Up For Ever #205, a gorgeous deep red color (you can only get this color at Sephora and they sell out fast in the store!).  I managed to snag the last tube and even had to fight my friend for it.  (She decided to get MAC's Russian Red instead.) Just in the 20 minutes that I modeled it around the store I got a few compliments and people asked me which lipstick it was because they wanted it to try it too!

After wearing it to work twice, I can say that if you wear it you will get a TON of comments on it, all good ones of course (except for maybe a few creeper ones).  The color is very saturated and leaves my lips bright pink until I exfoliate them!!! I am definitely hooked on this lipstick and plan on wearing it whenever I want to feel extra glamorous. :)

The only red lipstick that I had before was Revlon 655 Scarlet Velvet.  If you are looking for a good drugstore red lipstick that might be comparable I would definitely suggest trying this Revlon color. 

Studding Party

My birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I celebrated with my friends by having a stud party.  No, this wasn’t a party themed around a young bachelor but rather studs, or pyramid studs to be more specific.  I ordered 500 silver and 200 black studs from studsandspikes.com after reading positive reviews from other bloggers about their products and service.  I received the order promptly and the studs were all that I had dreamed of! 

This stud obsession of mine started before Christmas when I began to see more and more studs pop up on everything from clutches to men’s dress shirts.  It was an instant obsession.                                                                      

           

At first everyone was weary of studding because they didn’t think that they were cool enough to wear studs or they didn’t want to ruin an item of clothing if they ended up not liking the finished result.  After putting in their first stud all of my friends were hooked! One friend said that she could totally understand my obsession and wanted to order some more studs with me! 

Here is the pair of jeans my friend studded. 

We learned an important lesson – thin cotton tank tops are not suitable for heavy studs! Even if they look like they are secured, the studs slip out very easily! Denim and leather are still the easiest and best fabrics for studs.

Happy Studding 

Day 3 of No Meat

Vegetarianism is not something that I am quickly embracing.  Unfortunately, everyone around me is constantly eating meat.

*edit*
I am not longer a vegetarian. :(
