FOTD: Pretty in Pink

On my last visit to Etude House (I haven't been there since the first week of January), I picked up the duo fiber brush which I had reserved late December. Of course, I stayed a wee bit longer and looked around for other things that I can throw into my cutesy shopping basket. Aside from the duo fiber brush, I also threw in a Romantic Beauty Brush, two bottles of Petite Darling nail polishes, two bottles of Dear Darling nail polishes, and a Petite Darling Lipstick. After paying for everything, I rushed home to nurse my feverish beloved and to look into my cutesy shopping bag to admire the items that I got only to find out that I have the wrong lipstick shade! I originally wanted to get the shade BR302, but since I had so much difficulty looking for the shade in the counter, I had an SA assist me. When I was handed a tube of lipstick, I threw it into my basket without even checking if it was in the shade that I wanted. So when I opened the tube at home, I was appalled by a shocking pick hue! I felt frustrated and disappointed and immediately wanted to go back and have it exchanged for what I had asked for. But time wasn't on my side as I still had to go to work. Besides, I was feeling a bit lazy to go back to return the item. So I kept it and thought of playing and experimenting with it when I get the time to. Luckily, the perfect time came.

Since office clothes can be a bit boring (especially for someone as young as I am), I always spice up my outfits by accessorizing and by wearing makeup. Though I normally match my eye makeup with my outfits, I thought of doing something different for a meeting at work. So while getting ready, I looked into my lipstick stash and searched for a nice shade to compliment and brighten my usual black-and-white combo. That's when I picked up the cute little pick tube and a light bulb lit up.

Since the shade is a shocking pink, I opted for something light to balance out the entire look and to let my puckers be the center of attention. Who knew I'd have use for something this scandalous?


I wasn't really planning on curling my hair that day but I did coz I had enough time to kill.




And of course, some eye shots.

Do you wear bright colored puckers? I don't usually do, but I think the overall look wasn't so bad.

That shade of lipstick looks so good on you! I only ever wear puta red lipstick, I don't know how to pull off other colors.

Heather said...

Bec: I haven't tried any lipstick from Nars. Ugh... I'm so missing out on a lot.

Thanks, April. It could be just the lipstick, though.

Lauren: To be honest, I've worn red puckers only three times. I find it even more scandalous than hot pinks.

Thanks, Heather. I don't normally do my eyes that way. But hey, it worked I guess!

I know, right? Wow! Like really! Thanks, Nikki!
