More OCC Lip Tar Swatches

These once a month posts need to stop! But it's hard when I'm not really feeling like I have anything worth posting about.

But anyway. I did some extra quick swatches of some new lip tars I got in the colors Melange, Memento, and Grandma. This time they're in the new packaging which has a much slimmer opening that the previous one. I really like it a lot more, definitely better for control since you literally only need a pinch to cover your lips completely.

 Memento (Midtone pink/plum):

Grandma (Classic coral):

No liner or anything and that is how it looks~

I'm Still Alive!!.....Physically Anyway.

I admit that after the New Year I took a customary few days to not do anything with my life. However, since late Tuesday/ early Wednesday I had been diligently working on a surprise translation. 7 whole pages of Japanese to English goodness that had to be finished my today. Did I mention that I'm bad at science? Because this was FILLED with chemistry and uh....chemistry in English was weird (had a 90 in the class in high school but a 65 on the regents...I know I can barely keep track of all my fingers sometimes but I KNOW that doesn't make sense..Let's not even THINK about college math/science smh) but take my word for it.....Chemistry in Japanese is just scary!

Science is not my area of expertise so it was a very slow moving process. But its done! And my head is toast.

Can I feed you a swatch until I get myself together?

 Meet MAC's Honeyflower lipstick.

By the window...

It's a weird color fresh out the tube. The actual lipstick is shimmery and when I look at my lips, to me it has a little bit of a frost. Not that I care...You can jazz up/fix almost any color. It doesn't really show in all lighting on me....but that's okay. I respect it's desire to make me think more.

Just A Few Thoughts...

Well, for starters...I finally figured out a way to put the Siss lipstick I bought a few months ago to use. For a little while, I absolutely couldn't get it to do anything flattering for me. However, paired with a warm lipliner and my NARS Giza lipgloss...I rather like it.

 

Another thing on my mind lately...

I've been looking through my collection and I realize that I don't own a lot of matte eyeshadows. Lately, I've been really liking the look of them so I'm thinking I should grab a few. But then I wouldn't know what colors...I hate having repeat colors, but can you really call it repeat if the finish is different?

Really, I just want to try something new!

Mini Haul

Dropped by MAC today and picked up Going Bananas and Beautiful Iris. Was going to get Crazy Cool but i decided that I liked Beautiful Iris more. As for the other colors in the Dare to Wear collection, I like bright matte colors, but I never really wear them so I decided to just pass those up.

Going Bananas and Beautiful Iris:

While I was there, I also traded in some empties for Vegas Volt and Girl About Town. My next one will probably for either Cyber or Morange.
