MAC lipstick "Costa Chic" and MAC lipgloss "Lychee Luxe"
Today was an especially stressful day. It was one of those days where it felt like the universe was probably, most likely, working against you. I was in a bad mood and couldn't think straight so I did the only thing I could do. I marched my tired little feet down to MAC and bought myself two new lipcolors (and an eyeliner, but I had to pick that up anyway). Some may think that this as a superficial move, but are you going to deny what a new lipcolor is going to do for you?
I have never been able to restrain myself from purchasing a lipstick/gloss/balm (as you may recall I have about 70 lipglosses). I think that my obsession with lips and lip products come from the fact that a lipcolor is such a quick fix. For a small fee and 60 seconds of your time, you can purchase a tubeful of persona. While they do not actually hold the power to change you as a person, it does change your mood and mindset. In effect your mood and mindset affects the decisions that you make. Reds make you feel powerful, sexy, and maybe a little bit more daring. Bright pinks are like a breath of fresh air, and do you feel anymore demure and sultry than when you have on a glossy nude?
Today I felt summer pangs. I cannot wait until the sun is out and I can be in a tank top and shorts again. I chose corals to bring out my tan (non-existent at the moment but I will work on it) and to feed my excitement for summer.
My "Costa Chic" lipstick and "Lychee Luxe" lipgloss has not drastically changed my life as of yet. To be honest, my problems are still the exact same as they were 4 hours ago--but I must say that I do feel a little more light-hearted. I will start my day off tomorrow as a tawny beach bunny (with the help of my trustworthy bronzers) who has all the optimism to confront her problems head on.
