Rock the Gloss!
Cavewoman and I had an editorial meeting yesterday.
Well....this just means we went shopping.
I have started to blame all my purchases on "blog research".
Anyway....we were talking about challenges.
I have a horrible habit of using only a handful of my lipglosses. I often reach for my latest purchase.
So today I am starting a challenge.
I will make myself wear a different gloss or lipstick for at least a month or until I go through my collection.
Whichever comes first.
First day: My lipstick is MAC Mauvellous with Too Faced Diamond pink gloss on top.
Anyone up for this challenge?
What is your lipstick or lipgloss for today?

vincent lango's lip stain in baby boo. i love the berry color.
I am definitely up for this challenge - I have, like, a hundred lipglosses. Today's is L'Oreal Colour Juice Mixer in Major.
Mine (fairly often now that I've discovered the perfect nudey/pinkey shade) is the CO Bigelow Mentha Lip Tint...shade 1136. If you have tan south asian/hispanic coloring, its the greatest shade.
I think I'm going to go with one of my lip markers and an Estee Lauder lipgloss today.
I'm doing to hit up my favorite counters and stores today after work and... I'm going to La Creme. I Google'd it today and it's actually really close to me, maybe 15 minutes away. Any recommendations while I'm there?
Chanel Glossimer in Pagoda. This is oen of the most perfect glosses ever!
Chanel Glossimer in Pulsar is my "Perfect Red Lips" Look. Even though its a gloss, it just looks amazing and sexy and its the perfect red for me.
As far as a mix, for the summer, and with a nice bronze its MAC RIO BABE which they just stopped stopped making, so High Tea is great and Lip Glass in Instant Gold. Another great lipstick for the mix from MAC is Expensivo.

I wore Revlon SuperLustrous in Tangerine Twist, over MAC Girl Next Door lipstick.
Fun fun fun!
All: I should have asked everyone to describe their color. Now I want to know what VL Baby Boo and Chanel's Pagoda look like.
Toya: That is why I did it! I always reach for my latest gloss. I need to rediscover my collection. Tell me about Major. What color is it?
Anon: That sounds lovely!
The only nude/pink I can pull off is Nars Foul Play. I am pale. I wish I had some color. I would love to wear these shades.
Carla: I am late!!!!!
I hope you met Autumn and had a lovely time. What did you end up trying? By any chance did you try Venus in Furs? Did you take pictures of the shop?
Write me back at Annieytown@yahoo.com
I can not wait to hear about the day!!!
Greeneyes: I used to be insane over my Chanel's Crystal Blue glossimer.
Now I hardly reach for it. I plan to start using all my glossimers during this challenge.
Anon/s: High Tea is one of my biggest MAC regrets. I was so dumb to let that one go by.
Hi Annie (and Patti!)
Love these challenges! I'm wearing Stephane Marais sheer #6. It's a translucent rosy-bronzy-brown. =)
Hi M!
I bet that looks fab on you!
Have you visited beachwood lately?
Clinique Moisture Sheer Lipstick in Coral Glass. In the tube it appears quite pink but once it's on my (quite pale) lips it turns into a lovely coral. The pinkness cancels out the overbearing orange tones I usually get with other coral colours.
It's a very sheer lipstick that doesn't have lasting power but the sheerness is great for daytime and it has a lovely shine is no lipgloss is needed.
Ooh, this is gonna be fun! I love lip stuff. I know I have lip gloss & lipstick for everyday, but I'll try not to brag:) There's so many different colors and textures of lip products, You can have the same color look different depending on the texture of it. (Lipstick, gloss, stain, etc.) Right now I'm really into Tom Ford for Estee Lauder. So today I'm wearing "The Lip Gloss in Coralee".
It's the perfect coral with some gold in it. It's not too sheer, and it looks awesome when I first fill in my lips with Jordana(Available at Walgreens) Easy Liner in "Marmalade". Or over top of Tom Ford's "The Lip in Azuree Coral". I have medium brown hair w/ golden highlights & brown eyes, I'm also pretty fair skinned. When I wear eith or all of these lip combos they make me so tan & healthy. It also makes my eyes look GREEN, which I love. God Bless Tom Ford, I really believe he's saving Mrs.Lauder.
Heck yes, I'm up for the challenge! I think I own too many lipsticks and lip glosses anyway...
Today I had L'Oreal HIP Lip Gloss in Gallant with me in the purse, and I put it on both myself and my mom (since she didn't bring her lipstick today). Didn't think the dark burgundy would work on us at first, but it turned out quite sheer with some major shine. Lovely.
hi annie! i've been bad. i had a rotten wednesday so i went to beachwood and eaton. meep. =( i bought a new hat, some e/s i don't need, and tried the golden glosses-- i like!! will write you...
huge hug!
I love that Maddie looks like a Queens party girl getting ready on a Saturday night.
Miss P: That sounds lovely and perfect for this summer!
Melvis: As peej would say "A pox on the Isadora company"!
Miss Melissa: I agree that Tom Forde has been a great addition to the Lauder company. I am hoping there is a fall collection coming from him. That is the rumour.
His Azuree oil is a HUGE success. It has sold out everywhere.
I am also a proud owner of that gloss. It is a stunner!!!!
Meimei: I need to visit that line. I have seen on the mua boards that there is a Parrot look-a-like eyeshadow. I need to do some investigations.
K: I am glad that you love the YSL golden glosses. My gold one ships out on the 28th.
tbone: Its a great picture! I love how she is smoking her lipstick case.
Princess vince: Tell me more about YSL lipsticks. I know I love the glosses but have never played with any of their lipsticks.
blog research - does that mean your makeup is all tax deductible?
I am huge fan of the Body Oil Spray too! I have one that I'm using and two in "back-stock" (which is my refridgerator, of course!) I had to go out and buy a Monoi oil spray from True Blue Spa at B&BW because I was putting it everywhere! I'm afraid that I'll run out and never they'll never bring it back. MissMelissa: Sorry about using your screen name, I'm gonna try to figure another one out! BTW-do you know what Mr.Ford is coming out with in fall? What about the The Body Oil, do you think he'll make a perfume, or just leave us wanting more?(like most men) I'm hooked on his products:)
OMG - I hear you on using only what is on the top of the pile, leaving the 800 or so to moulder underneath! Today is all about Giorgio Armani lip shimmer #25 - kind of a sheer cotton-candy pink (but not overly too sweet).
L'Oreal Colour Juice Mixer is a dual-sided gloss. This one's shades are Major and Minor. Major is a deep peachy-pink, while Minor is a sheer version of the same shade, with flecks of sparkle.
Shop rex: I wish!
Thanks for that well needed laugh.
)))shoprex(((
Miss Melissa: There are rumors circulating that he is working on a perfume version of the oil. We shall see.
I had been told that there is a TF fall line coming out. After his last one...he has hooked me.
I will be at the counter...with bells on.
anon: Ohio will be getting an Armani counter soon. We can not wait. It is always insane at the counter at the NYC SAKS. I have never been able to explore or play.
Toya: This sounds good. I need to spend some time at my local drugstore soon.
Sounds like something to up my makeup fun...when I can do more neat things with my makeup I get less lemmings.:-)
