Plums make me happy!!

Today my kids are out of school... we are headed here it's a Halloween MUST if you live in Utah!  Whenever I hit the make-up counter I always pick out the same shades, gold tones for my eyes and plums for my lips.  Although I ventured out and got a new color I also picked up a new plum lipstick!  Here is my new plum color...

New Lipstick: Fluid

New Lip-liner: Plum

Lip Gloss: Up in Smoke

In honor of Halloween... the frightening close-up!!!

Don't forget to check back this weekend and link up your blog with your Halloween inspired outfit/costume!!  Here is a sneak peek into my Halloween inspired church outfit... here and here!

New Color... New Woman!

A few of my favorite things are... clean sheets on my bed, hot cocoa by a warm fire when it's snowing, the smell of autumn in the air, spring flowers popping up in the snow, new shoes, watching my kids sleep and NEW LIPSTICK!!!  After a really hard day on Saturday when my son broke my candle and the dog pooped in the house... ahhhhhh!  I was ready to pull my hair out when we headed to Nordy's and I picked up two new lipstick colors!  I wanted a beautiful red that was not too dark and was bright and cheery!  I LOVED the color soooo much I felt like a new woman!  I am off to volunteer at my daughter's school (with the book fair) so no OOTD it is just tooo early!!

My new lipstick: Viva Glam IV

My new lip-liner: Half-Red 

Lip gloss: Betty

I am kinda freaked out by this picture, but you can really see the color!

BTW: This dress was a TOTAL bust for me, it's so beautiful IRL but the orange color of it, looked something awful on me!!  I also picked up another lipstick color I will show you next week!

Shiny vs Matte?

No I am not talking about LCD's or photo's...
I'm talking about lips!

Bare minerals Buxom is hands down the BEST lip gloss EVER!!! I love this lip plumping gloss! Unlike other lip plumper's it does not burn, it gives you a minty sensation like you are chewing a fresh piece of gum. I have been debating over whether or not I should purchase another lip gloss (to add to the ever growing collection) or if I should follow the new 'trend' of matte lips. I saw after fashion week they kept saying "matte is the new glossy" problem is sometimes those trends don't transpose well into the general population. But, I also don't want to be walking around with people thinking "her lips are sooooo 2009:)!" So now I am stuck... glossy or matte?

OR...

Decisions, decisions!!
