NYX – Bloody Mary (Matte Lipstick)
Mood: Gonna kill a man
What's Up: I'm a fan of the NYX Matte Lipsticks because: a) they're cheap b) they have decent staying power without being too drying -and- c) they come in all the coolest colors. Bloody Mary was no exception. It is a bright pink that isn't gonna punch you in the face even if I might. (Sidenote: You know how everyone is telling you that you have to throw out lipstick after a year or so? Well they're right, but you can probably stretch it a little longer as long as it doesn't have a weird scent or funk layer. I've had this tube for about 2 years, and I've noticed the pigment is starting to separate, but it isn't terribly noticeable.)

31 Days of Lipstick PART 2 >> 11-20
I'm smack in the middle of 31 Days of Lipstick which means we're either in the too-sweet white paste of the oreo, or we have become the neglected middle child in a family of over achievers and shit heads. A couple of wins, a couple of flops, and some tried and true favorites:

31 Days of Lipstick PART 1 >> 1-10
I'm 32% done with 31 Days of Lipstick! I haven't passed out from the sheer exhaustion of it all! I only had one existential crisis! Here's what happened during the first 10 days!
Nars – Red Square (velvet matte lip pencil)
Mood: ill, and by that I mean actually ill.
What's Up: Red square has awesome staying power, but is a touch on the dry side. It is very bright lipstick, and very easy to apply. (Sidenote: This shade meshes well with balm: I dab balm on top for brighter color. I apply balm first, then the pencil, for a more muted color.)
