..::Ditching the Nude::..

Now I know I don't often post pictures of myself, and that's mostly because I'm not really sure I'm all in on that idea yet as most bloggers are and well, I'm not really sure I consider myself a "blogger" at least not in the typical sense....or whatever that means. I mean is there anyone even reading this right now? Anyways, my infatuation with lipstick began long ago as a little girl when my mother would slather me in a bright shade of hot pink from one of her trusty Clinique silver sticks and send me bouncing on stage to perform at my dance recitals. I'll let you imagine how many of those tubes of lipstick I inevitably wore as my dance career spanned a good 13 years. In college I became infatuated with lip gloss, and would scowl at the mere thought of wearing any kind of lipstick as I loved the way gloss made my lips look so deliciously shiny. After college however, I had tired of my lip gloss (well let's be honest lip gloss, long hair and convertible cars do not mix) and in turn favored a more nude/pale pink combination of sheer lipsticks. Well I'm not quite sure what got into me today, but I wandered into Sephora to pick up my trusty NARS lipstick in "SABRINA" and I found myself standing in front of the Lancome display enamoured with this tube of "FUCSHIA CLUTCH" lipstick. Against my better judgement, because I know I hate the way I look with lipstick on, I purchased it knowing that I would probably never leave the house with it on. And, as if this tangent on lipstick hasn't been long enough, I'll share with you what happened next..............YES, that's right I put it on when I got home and then I went to watch the LAKERS dominate in Game 4 at one of my fav lil happy hour spots. And you know what? Even after 2 drinks and the LAKER'S sweeping Utah in the series, I still couldn't decide if I liked it on me or not. DAMN. I'll be returning to Sephora this afternoon to grab my ever reliable "SABRINA" just in case I just can't wrap my head around this FUCSHIA PHASE I've found myself in.
