My lipstick revolution

You may have noticed that I have mentioned my new pink lipstick in my last two posts. No, it's not a vintage buy (can you imagine lol) but it's something I am LOVING right now so fits perfectly into the spirit of the blog. The colour is Zen Rose and it's from good old Mac. Vibrant colour that leaves your lips lusciously moisturised - perfect combination. I promise I'm not getting paid by Mac to say this, it's just totally true.

I have never been a lipstick wearer. In fact I was never a big proponent of make up in general until late nights and a hefty sleep deficit took hold that is. Now I am a true believer. Even so, I always paired my tinted moisturiser with a pared down tinted lip gloss or a subtle lipstick with just a hint of subtle colour. I never even looked at bold colours. Now for someone that will wear clothes of any colour, the brighter and bolder the better, I was quite shy when it came to lip colour. I just didn't feel brave enough. Then the day came when I went to Mac with my sister-in-law and a best friend. We ended up spending two hours trying every conceivable foundation, bronzer, blusher, eye shadow and mascara possible. Maybe it was the sunshine or the peer pressure (hehehe) but whatever it was, when the consultant suggested this punchy pink pantone I gave it a whirl. I haven't looked back since. I am now a lipstick evangelist and I next want to find the perfect red tint for my pout.

So, yes, I was very slow on the uptake but I got there in the end!
