hot gossip

i had a return at mac which of course turned into an exchange. i decided that creme cup was a little too pink for my liking. while i can appreciate a nude-ish pink like pretty please, pinks like creme cup and angel just don't suit me. anyway, after swatching just about every nude lipstick on display, i've come to the conclusion that i'm a little bit over the nude lip. although i adore creme d'nude, even when i've melted about 5 of them, i guess my preference has changed for now. so, i ended up taking home hot gossip, a semi-deep cranberry type of color.





i also picked up an oversized knit sweater from h&m. i usually get a size up in this kind of piece, so i purchased a medium. i love the gold thread running through the fabric.

coral lips

illamasqua's obey is a matte, orangy/coral color. this lipstick is opaque and high maintenance, definitely requiring some blending work. applied lightly, it can be very wearable. i often pair it with revlon's superlusterous lipgloss in coral reef for a gorgeous, coral shine.


obey. coral reef.



both colors are beautiful on their own, but they're flattering combined as well.
