Purple Lipstick.

When it comes to makeup I like to keep it fairly simply and natural looking.

Except for my eyelashes.

I go all gung-ho on those babies.

Really my makeup routine boils down to a tinted moisturizer, an eye primer, and a neutral eye shadow.  Oh, and of course the eyeliner and Younique 3-D eyelashes.

Lips?

Burts Bees chaptstick.

I know, fancy.

The thing is, my lips seem to pull pink out of lipstick shades, and they never look right on me.  Also, I'm not sure I enjoy the cakey feeling when I have lipstick on.

Yesterday I ran to the mall to pick up more of the primer I use from Clinique.  Normally my makeup is a Target purchase, aside from my eyelash needs, but I find a solid primer on my eyelids keeps my eyeshadow in place all day long, so that's one thing I'll splurge on.

Turns out Clinique is having a free gift deal right now where if you spend $30 you get a makeup bag with some goodies in it.  They're offering it in two choices, pink or purple.

So I bought two primers, knowing full well I'll use them, so I didn't feel like I was being pushed into spending more money than I normally would have and I picked the purple gift set.

Inside the gift set is this bad boy.

Chubby Stick Baby Tint.  In Flowering Fushia.

First off, lipstick.

Second off, purple lipstick.

When I gawked at it the sales lady told me it wasn't a lipstick, but a tint.  It goes on clear and then reacts to your natural pheromones to develop it's color.  This way the color is going to look good on you.

So I tried it out.

This picture wasn't filtered.  It feels like I'm wearing chapstick.  And even though it's purple, I don't feel like it's out of place on  my face.

I'm pretty sure I need to go back and get the pink one now.  This might be one form of lipstick I can get behind.

Weekend plans anybody?  What do you have going on?

Tonight is the Beyond 5 concert for us.  If you're local to the Salt Lake valley it's at the Draper Amphitheater and you can still pick tickets up for it on their website HERE.  Trust me, you won't regret it.  Just make sure you tell them I sent you.
