Being a beauty blogger has made me so dang lazy. I don’t leave the house every single day–I mean I don’t leave the house where I have to look respectable leave the house. So, I’m pretty bare when it comes to makeup on a daily basis. My skin care habits are very much in tack though. My fifty-something skin cannot live without moisturizer and eye cream.
My faithful readers and followers have given me some much needed beauty blogger advice–post more pictures of me! And I suppose that’s what blogging is all about, putting myself on display.
But, I have been rather reticent about so much of that. Now, however, I’m making a concerted effort to record my “looks”, as I am trying new products several times a week.
Last week, I decided to take a walk on the dark side with a deep red lipstick. That’s something I NEVER do. But I have to admit, I like the look. I think I looked rather grown up for my 56 years. I paired that with a bright sapphire liner—which was a significant change for me.
I’m die hard eyeliner girl, but it’s usually black. I. Love. Black. Eyeliner.
But, I went makeup shopping a couple weeks ago at Nordstrom and bought the new Lancôme Artliner 24H Bold Color Precision Eyeliner in Sapphire and I pretty much love it. I kept hearing how “awake” I looked. And how “bright” my eyes were. Now, those two observations are worth their weight in Sapphire Artliner. I’m stocking up.

I remembered receiving a deep colored Lancôme Rouge in Love lipstick earlier in the year, so I pulled it out for my makeup du jour. Cocoa Couture is a brown, but looks very much like a trending oxblood (deep red) on my lips. It is pretty much gorgeous. And I am going to put it in my lipstick rotation for fall. Not to mention that it’s long-lasting without drying my lips out. Major Bling Factor for that.
