A good lipstick.

Now, I have been a die hard Lip Gloss Gal for a longggg time… but until recently I decided that lipstick should make a come back! I absolutely fell in love with this beautiful lipstick line from Yves Saint Laurent. The past few weddings I’ve had, all of the brides decided to go with my suggestion of this line and purchased it for their wedding day.

Isn’t the gold tube so beautiful and fabulous?! It makes me feel like a woman whenever I take this out of my purse. I love this lipstick for these reasons:

- extremely pigmented! Almost to the point where it stains your lips after wiping, eating, drinking, etc.
- very moisturizing! No chapstick needed here, unless you got severe chapped lips.
- beautiful colors! The Rouge Volupte Ultimate Beige color has been universally loved by brides of all types!
- it’s the best quality lipstick I’ve ever felt on my lips.

Now everything good comes with a price… it’s also the most expensive lipstick I’ve ever purchased at $34. But do I think it’s worth it? TOTALLY.

Here’s my favorite color on my hand.

I’m one of those types of people that has been cursed with white, pale lips. (On a side note, my husband has SUPER full and dark lips!? What the heck dude!) So on the days when it’s sunny and I just want a little color, I just dab a little bit on my bottom lip and rub. Then it gives just the right amount of pigment, so I don’t look like a dead person. Yay!

Miss J’s trial

Carol — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 19:28:16 +0000

We had so much fun with Miss J! She looked so much like Bada from SES, even though she had no idea who she was. We said that as a compliment, since we Koreans can’t look like Faith Hill or Jessica Alba. Looking like a Korean pop star is the next best thing we got! Miss J wanted a clean, classic and very natural look with lots of lashes!

Miss J wanted the classic low bun. Very simple & chic!

I started to slowly bring up the bun for a 2nd look.

I asked her if I could throw something together that I thought would look nice on her... classic medium length bun that's more open and breathable.

Adorable!!

Props to you, 9 Frames Studio of New York!

I love Two Faced and since Spring is (hopefully) around the corner, I was excited to see this $38 package come out at Sephora! Comes with face primer too, yay.
