LIPSTICK QUEEN Hello Sailor

Thank you for stumbling onto my little space in this frontier of the wild wild internet.  This is an outlet for sharing my love of make-up, creativity, trying new things, and writing.  My real-life job is in a corporate setting, so I don't get much opportunity to be myself.  I always feel best on days when I'm put together. Some may feel uncomfortable with a face full of product.  Not me.  If my lips are naked, I feel naked.  So naturally. I'll start with a lip product.

Presenting: LIPSTICK QUEEN Hello Sailor Lipstick.  

I purchased this from Ulta after wanting it for a few weeks.  A blue lipstick? Yes, please.  I am all for weird.  Hello, sailor!  It was a summer shade released for 2013.  I got it in winter 2014.  I am so-on-trend. ;)  I scoured reviews, watched videos about it, and went to the website for it.  I knew what I was getting myself into.  I knew better than to expect my lips to turn blue. This product did exactly what I expected it to.  It is light and sheer.  It is so buttery soft.  It tastes like NOTHING. I dislike so many lipsticks simply because I dislike the taste and smell of them. This is like a soft, smooth, caress for your lips. I am a big fan of color but this is subtle. It delivers though.  I feel like my lips are beautiful without making an obvious statement. A casual, carefree attitude while looking good.  I am getting some lip tars by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics later this week and I can't wait to layer Hello Sailor over the OCC lip tar, which essentially becomes a stain after a few hours.  It goes on with a brush, like lipstick, but as it has extreme staying power, it does not leave lips glossy or lubed up.  I want shine.  I am excited for the color the lips tars will bring, and I think together the two products will work great.  I already know the tars will require me to layer a gloss or clear balm over the color in order to make them work for me.  Hello Sailor can be work alone though.  So considering the use I will get from it and how much I love it, I am glad to have gone way out of my norm and bought a $25.00 lipstick.  It was worth it to me.  I had a coupon, which helped!  

Hopefully you can tell how much fun it is to apply a blue lipstick!  Watch for the OCC lip tars post!
