A little secret about me ...oh well maybe its not a secret to those who are connected to me on Facebook, is I love makeup.... yeap I am a makeup Junkie , addict , I am am obssessed .
On a quiet evening you'll find me doing a makeup look , or watching various tutorials on Youtube... amazing the things tou can learn on youtube and blogs etc. I can be engrossed in all things make-up for hours and hours. I still have a lot to learn, and am always on the hunt for new products. Last week I walked into a Rexall drugstore and found some NYX products.... I didn't know that I could find these in Canada. I awlys see tutorials of people using these ,and I always assumed that I had to the States to get these. Even better was that they were on sale, so I picked up a whole load of eyeshadows , jumbo pencils and liner.
Last week I hit the malls, and was just having a day so I decided to thow on one of the new shaows I had got. I really wasn't feeling up to wearing my makeup, but I have made it my mission to wear makeup anytime I am off work... I figure I bought the products I might as well use them. So I didn't put a lot of thought and effort into my look , just rocked the Hunter green Shadow, and boy did I get compliments...from people who actually know makeup. The first was the lady at the MAC counter, I stopped by to make a small lil purchase, then next was a lady at Sephora who loved the look. I will have to look at my camera to see if I have photos of me , and will post them. It is a big deal for me when a trained make-up artist stops and gives me a compliment. To me its the endorsement I need, and I really cannot take all the credit because I have had so many people teach me how to do makeup, and all but one ( I think!) know that they have had an influence on me.
Anyway I have been looking for the ideal red lipstick.... I believe that every woman has their own Red lipstick. I was not actively looking because up until a few days ago I only owned 3 lipsticks , which I rarely use. I am not a lipstick person... I am a lipgloss kinda girl., and part of me was afraid to venture down the red lipstick road. The last time I had visited MAC, in an attempt to get a red liptick I settled for a pinky plummy shade. My very first lipstick was MAC Sophisto and I loved the way it felt , so I always thought that they were the go to people for lipsticks.
2 days ago after catching a movie with a friend we ventured into one of the department stores, and I asked the lady at the MAC counter on what red shades she'd recommend and she seemed totally un-interested, and clueless, and after getting me to try pretty much almost all the reds and even a lipgloss I was disappointed. Disappointed... yes I was crushed.... this was MAC that we are are talking about... I have always thought they were one of the best brands... even though I couldn't quite get the ideal foundation shade from them, I love all their other products;eyeshadows ...coz I believe they have a wide range...possibly shades I never dream of seeing as eyeshadows, blushes etc.
Right next to MAC is the MAKE UP FOR EVER counter , we went there and the makeup artist was busy with a client but when she asked me what I wanted she handed me 2 lipsticks and a brush... and as soon as I tried the first one I was sold I was in love....she looked at it and said it was ok.In my mind I thought, r u freaking kidding me ...this is awesome..., this is the best red I ever wore....I mean hello! Anyway she had me try the 2nd shade ...more awesomeness,... So at the end of the night I was a proud owner of the Rouge Artist Intesnse #46 and #48. My fav. being the # 46, which I wore yesterday and can I say that I didn't know I had sexy lips....wow... I felt like I owned the world. This morning I was tempted to wear my 46 again, but having had a rough night due to my asthma, I woke up late and was already running late for work, I decided against it. throwing Makeup on .
RED is sexy, fierce, bold, ayoba, fabulous and just downright awesome. Red commands attention...its turns heads...and it definitely gets my seal of appoval.
I also came to the realization that there are a whole lot of good brands out there and we should never be afraid to try other brands. Venture down brands, I know I have found cheaper brands, that do the work just as good as the pricier brands. I love to use drugstore brands too..do not write them off....some of my favourite eyeshadows and mascara are drugstore brands.... Then there are some brands that there are no comparison to. If you think they are pricey save up and hook yourself up.
