An open letter to the lipstick lovers.



Dearest makeup lovers,


After coming to realize that I, like many of my fellow makeup fiends, have accumulated far too much makeup over the years, I have at last entered the wondrous world of blogging.

I'm quite sure it's my justification for overloading my drawers and shelves with one too many items named Orgasm, X-Rated, and Toxic Tale (amongst other cheeky names), but I'd love to share my honest reviews and experiences on all things makeup, skincare, and in between. On a side note, how does one get the job of naming makeup products? It's probably the best job available aside from being married to David Beckham.

Whenever I contemplate purchasing an eyeshadow, lipstick, lipgloss, etc., I think to myself: 
1) Does this work on warm undertones?
2) I need me some swatches!
3) Will this make me look like a clown or streetwalker? (I mean, lipstick has its perks, but, well, it happens...)
4) Fallout? Will this make me look as if I had a bad (losing) duel with a dark fairy?

I ultimately find myself seeking the insight of beauty bloggers worldwide--a huge help in deciding whether or not to nix clumpy mascara or streaky foundation from my beauty wishlist.

So, rambling aside, I hope this will be a good resource for my fellow makeup/skincare mavens. I'm no makeup artist or skincare expert, but a makeup-obsessed gal and consumer just like anyone else. And one who loves trying new things but hates regrettable purchases...Cheers to a lifetime of dewy complexions, kissable lips, and good hair days!



love and lipstick,
El
