Like mother like daughter

My beautiful Mama is known for not leaving the house without her lips painted in an eye catching shade of red or pink.

Is it possible that I have inherited the love of lipstick? Or maybe I like drawing attention to my mouth? Or is it just that I can't stop purchasing amazing Mac lipsticks?

I have broken so many colour rules for a fair skinned freckled lass...

- russian red -

This is the colour I pick when I want to make men go weak at the knees with every word I say. You must, above all else, ooze confidence when wearing a fire-engine red. The hue of passion and sensuality.

My favourite colour for Spring. It's warm, cute and feminine. I have matching earrings that I like to whip out to team with this shade. It's for the days when I don't require as much punch as a brighter colour.

Ok so I will admit that yes I did buy the colour inspired by Paris Hilton. But a girl has to have a more neutral tone of lippy for the days when a smoky eye is needed.

It's like not wearing lipstick at all... at least I know it's there.

A make up artist I worked with once told me that she thinks I am the only person who can carry off this colour. I beg to differ. This is another lipstick that is mainly about having the balls to wear it!
I bought it on a -19 degree day in Prague, Czech Republic. It makes me feel like a punk ice queen and I love it!

I have never been a huge fan of any shade of pink but you have got to love this 'look at moi' colour! Lovely and glossy and bright, for the days when I feel like being a barbie doll ditz.

This stunner was my first purchase almost 2 years ago.
I hunted around for this colour for SO long and when I finally found it at Mac I fell in love. Such a good summer colour which I will buy time after time! I wear it when I want to be the centre of attention... Needless to say it's running out!











The real thing.







Where to next? I was thinking maybe a deep burgundy. A good one for disguising those wintery mulled wine stained lips that have been occurring waaaaaay too much lately for me...
