I am going to tell you about an offer, but first, let me just say- please don't judge me. For I found it in *lowers head in shame* Woman magazine. My mum's a reader, okay?! What else was I supposed to do when I sat down with my afternoon cup of tea? NOT read a magazine?! I'm living on a budget here people.
And it had Lorraine Kelly on the front.
ANYWAY, if you go to www.halfpriceperfumes.co.uk/revlon and select the Superlustrous Lipstick, all you have to do is enter the discount count 'RevLip' at the checkout. You pay £1.99 for p&p. That's it.
I blogged recently about this lipstick here so I was literally like something out of the Olympics, running towards the computer, maxed out credit card in hand to order.
I rarely ever do anything 'of the day' posts. But the reason I'm doing this one is because the lover and I are in a conflict about it. I absolutely love this colour. He absolutely hates it. So whilst he is at work I have slapped some on, knowing this affair will last only an hour or two before he gets home, looks at my hands and goes; *terribly panicked voice* 'Shit! Are you okay? We need to get you to the hospital, you've got a finger fungal infection! Or frostbite!'
Men. If it doesn't come in 'Pasty' or 'Pie', they're not interested.
*Please excuse the way this George Quick Dry in Shipwrecked is applied. It's 10 minutes till hometime and I'm desperately searching for some gloves! A night of mittens will mean that these ocean blue digits get to live another day.
......damn. He's a follower of my blog.
PS- Can I just say thanks to Abigail - I saw her blog and was like 'Holy Moly, she is blessed with the most voluminous hair I have ever seen.' 22 years I've been on the quest for that. So she kindly did a post for me about it. I shall be trying out these tips this evening :) Check out her blog http://clothesandbisous.blogspot.com/2011/05/how-i-do-my-hair-part-two.html
But I know with all you beauty savvy glamour gals hot on the latest trend, it's never going to happen. So for now I will settle with being a lipstick enthusiast. The 'Court Jester' of this palace scenario, if you will.
I haven't done a lipstick collection post in a while and- whilst preparing for my *Beauty Awards and Amaze Giveaway*- I thought I'd still do some pic heavy posting. (less demanding on the ol' fingeroos and probs more enetertaining for you guys who don't want to read my stupid ramblings.)
Ta Da! This is my collection. You have to wonder about the social life of someone who has enough time on their hands to doo this. But here we are.
I have blogged about most of these colours individually but this was a bit of a revelation- I have a lipstick in basically every colour of pink- and it's STILL NOT ENOUGH! I MUST HAVE MORE!
My longing for lipstick kind of reminds me of this cat.....
If only I had eyes as green as his. Imagine the other shades that would suit me....
Just a quick post to tell you all- don't worry! I haven't forgotten about my beauty awards and BRILLIANT giveaway. I'm putting it all together as we speak and it'll be a pleasure to your senses as soon as I can :)
Perhaps not an apt title for a Summer blog post. But do I make up the names for Revlon lipsticks? No. And that is exactly what Cherries in the Snow is.
This is a buildable colour that can be used as a nice pink or a deeper raspberry shade. Or, I guess, what cherries would look like in the snow.
This was a gift from the best man chef in the world (check out http://www.food4dudes.blogspot.com/). I was really excited because, as sad as it sounds, I've never had a Revlon lipstick before. Yea, MUA is a fail safe cheap option, but I start my new job next week (yay!) so finally I can peruse the higher end brands and not feel like a fraudster. And as a journo I've been doing a lot of research in to my art, so the name Revlon reminds me of the glamorous 50's.
I tend to use a slick of Lipcote, but this creme formulation has some pretty good staying power. I've eaten, drunk several cups of tea, shouted at some people, laughed at some more, and it's stayed put all morn. Marvellous.
Right, now I'm off to bust some moves to The Best of Tom Jones. Well what else were Sundays made for?!
