Lipstick is Back!!
First of all, I need to apologize for not blogging for the last couple of days, but a nasty virus attacked my computer and I am just now up and running again!
I just got done reading the latest issue of Allure, where they announced that lipstick is back for fall. For those of us who consider ourselves lipstick connoisseurs, it never really left. (I remember sitting my little sister down when I was in high school, and explaining to her why you absolutely needed half a dozen shades of red lipstick for different occasions. I'm that obsessed). Lipstick is the first makeup you use when you are young, and it's a rite of passage. Plus, it instantly transforms your face! According to Allure, the trend on the runways is dramatic lipstick in three shades:
Deep Red
Hot Pink
Rose with Gold
I'm in heaven. So now I'm on a quest for a new lipstick wardrobe for fall! I'll definitely start with Lancome's Pout a Porter collection, and quickly get on the waiting list for the color inspired by Peter Som's collection. (Yes, there's a waiting list, and it opens September 1). It's a gorgeous deep burgundy red! Then I will try some shades from MAC's new Mattene line. The finish on these lipsticks is sort of a creamier, shinier matte, which sounds perfect.
Anyone else on a lipstick kick? What shades will you be buying for fall?

OMG! I thought I was the only one making a make-up shopping list for the fall! I already spoke to my friend from the Lancome counter and let him know I NEED to be on the waiting list (and dared to inquire about the color I missed out on: Proenza Schouler's pink). Mac's Mattene line is on my hit list also! I am loving a deep shade of red, burgundy and even a rich berry burgundy. I plan on revisiting my current collection (stored away for the fall).
I am so excited and I must admit, I had become lazy and became a gloss girl ever since Versace's summer collection circa 2003! Allure's verdict that the lipstick is in again made me realize how much I missed feeling elegant when sporting a well-made pout. However, some things are innate; a few days ago before reading Allure I was at the Chanel makeup counter viewing the new Fall line (one word: stunning!). My galpal Elizabeth painted my lips with all the shades in the Trio Levres de Chanel satin lipgloss compact (satin yet a bit matte also). It made me look sophisticated and since then I vowed to wear lipstick and rich dark colors for the fall. Allure's article only solidified my new conviction. I guess that's what being a make-up lover/fashionista is all about, being able to see a trend without reading about it. I love being a lady!
