Rock the Gloss Challenge for wednesday August 30th 2006:
On the set Between Friends all extras were instructed to wear a "neutral sort of flesh colored lipstick" but when a makeup man applied a red lipstick to one red-headed extra, an authority on the set hollered: "Get it off her, nobody but Elizabeth wears red."
C David Heymann also recounts how, during the filming of Cleopatra, Liz insisted on wearing makeup for every scene, even if she was told she didn't need it. One top crew member reported walking into her dressing room, where "she had her mouth open and was even dabbing powder on the roof of her mouth. "What are you doing?" I asked, and she replied, "well, they'll see inside my mouth when I speak my lines. I want to look perfect."---Jessica Pallingston's Lipstick
My lippie for today is Estee Lauder's Tom Ford Azuree Nude.
It is the perfect flesh colored lipstick.

Hello!
Today I am wearing one of my holy grail products: B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful's lip colour cream in Blast. It's a perfect neutral rose with a creamy, long-lasting consistency, and it's packaged in a sparkly little heart-shaped tin. I just love it.

Checking in with my L'Oréal HIP gloss in Dreamer. Smells great, looks great, a little sticky but it stays on. Highly pigmented neutral pink with a little shimmer. A good everyday gloss. And I like this tube applicator — I love Chanel, but wands are gross.
Hola, Ladies.
I'm wearing my favorite lipgloss of all time today--MAC Lipglass in Sunny Boy. It was part of the Diana Ross collection, and it's the perfect pinky-copper of a new penny. I would wear it everyday, except that it was LE and I'm afraid I'll never love another gloss this much. I'm also wearing Cargo's reverse lipliner, and I
am not sure I see the point.
I'm trying something new, a lip tint by Bliss in prunette. This is one of my fabulous TJ Maxx finds.

CG Queen Collection lip gloss in diamond drop. CG hit the mark with the Queen Collection.Everything I have from them is amazing.
Update: I'm in love with this L'Oréal HIP gloss. I have grown, over the morning, a mutant radioactive ten-ton lemming for the whole line.
Hey, ladies!
Today's lippie:
MAC Lipliner in Cork
Bobbi Brown lipstick in Candlelight Shimmer (Gold Collection)
Bobbi Brown lipgloss in Gold Glitter (gold collection)
Hello...Bobbi Brown Ruby. I love the texture of this, very hydrating. It's a true ruby color that doesn't go rusty or pink.
Tania (or should I call you Tbone?) - That L'Oreal HIP line is crazy addictive! I am planning to stock up on more of their eyeshadows and glosses as soon as I come back to the States. I would've purchased Dreamer if it wasn't for the fact that I already have too many shades like it! In honor of this revelation, I will be wearing the HIP gloss in Gallant (a dark red/burgundy shade), using Smith's Rosebud Salve as a base.
Here's a tip I learned from Allure - when you put a gloss on top of something waxy, like lipstick or balm, the color tends to stay longer. This helps me with the HIP gloss, since it's super sticky going on and tends to fade on me when I put it on bare lips.
I wore an old Estee Lauder lipliner pencil in Sunlit Red, with Chanel Pretty lipstick. No gloss!
