As I sit here typing, I imagine hearing the birds chirping
outside my bedroom window as the sun comes up. However, that is not reality I look
out the window at a foot of snow and the icicles dripping down creating a
hazard on my deck.
Come to think of it I haven’t even seen the typical winter
birds. I think with all this dismal weather the cardinals and chickadees have
flown south. Normally, they are antagonizing
my cat outside the picture window. Now this is quite entertaining to watch and
I will need to try and record it next time it happens.
Anyways I kind of went off topic (I do this quite often and
it drives my husband crazy). But I think it is part of my charm, right? Let’s
rein me back in. It anyone ready for spring? I certainly am. I am really crushing on coral for the spring. So I have added some coral lips to my
makeup to try and brighten this grey winter.
On of my favorite products is Chanel
Levres Scintillantes Glossimer in Murmure. This came out in their spring collection. In the
tube it looks like a deep coral, but when on the lips is sheerer and provides a
nice tint to the lips. I was looking for something to go under gloss to give my
lips more
panache. I looked at the complementary Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in Triomphe,
but on my typically dry lips it appeared very chalky.
I ended up purchasing the Urban
Decay 24-7 Glide on Lip Pencil in Streak to go under the gloss. Urban decays lip pencils
have the most luxurious feel to them. I used to think that lip pencils were
drying, but urban decay has proved me wrong. They have a very creamy texture.
Streak is a bright coral that looks great alone or underneath Chanel’s
Glossimer.
I also love CoverGirl
Lip Perfection Jumbo Gloss Balm in coral twist. It has great pigmentation
and is bright without being “in your face.” I actually have a few of these in different colors and love them all. Especially for the
winter, they are great to throw on to add some color and they have the
protection of a lip balm. I love when a product does double duty!!!
What spring colors are you looking forward to wearing?
