for the fun of it

i can see myself dragging my sock obsession way past autumn and right the way through winter!  even if it means i get wet toes! these little pic's gave me a smile today,  i really wish people would start having more fun with what they wear - who cares if it isn't your cup of tea at least it's quirky and interesting??  images courtesy lime crime lippies (not sure i could rock the green to be honest??) but i'm mainly staring at these socks ....ohhhhhh

the new IT lippy

grey....sooooooo hot right now...

lime crime also do an insane selection of opaque lipsticks...pretty much want them all.

kiss me

i've been keeping my eye out for an orange lippy for ages now.  i'm never prepared to be spending too much on something i'm not gonna love forever but think that problem is now solved.  good ole rimmel have my new fav colour pop lippy of all time, aptly named 'kiss me'. their colour show off lipsitcks go on like velvet and stay put through a good drinking session.  matt finish with not too heavy coverage - that it doesn't loose looking 'pretty'.  if orange ain't your thing they have a pink version called 'pink flame'.

rimmel also do a matte top coat for nails - which suddenly reinvents your whole nail polish collection turning gloss finish into new trend ....matte.....a must have bargain buy for $11.99

lips for your eyes only

i've often lusted over the dark goth lip look but know just how damn hard it is to not to just pull it off, but make it stay put!!  eating your lips off never looks hot and its worse still when your wearing a mega dark lippie.  but unlike most who tend to put this together with a fair and no-tan complexion i think id better suit it with a tan (??) - which i now have.  thank god love asthetics came along and shared her wicked tips to get the matt black look.  she uses, wait for it...EYE LINER and just a smidge of lip balm to keep it all flexi.  it stays put and doesn't bleed.  hear that ladies!!??  so while i might not smash a matt black i really want to smash a matt purple or burgundy.  whoever claimed those colours are for winter only is full if sh*t.
