hi, hello.
Todays post is about my obsession with (mostly red) lipstick.
It may or may not be a massive problem.......for my bank account. :P
I spent a lot of my youth making sooooooooooooooo many make up mistakes, especially back in my obsessive goth days *shudder* But, one thing I did do right was pick up my first tube of Red Lipstick, it actually wasn't even mine. So thanks friend for leaving it at my house! I'd been wearing horrible cheap black lipstick A LOT back then, but I remember the first time I ballsed up and wore a striking red lip in public, it was like compliment central. They always say when something makes you feel good, keep doing it, well red lips was that thing, I guess its almost a signature of mine now.
Its a choice that i know a lot of Beauty people would gasp at, but its in my every day makeup routine.
I honestly just don't suit nudes/pinks etc, I'm so Ghostly white that red stands out so much better, especially with my generally darker eyes.
(Top Row: Lime Crime Velvetine- Red Velvet, ModelCO- Kitty [this is musky pink but it was free], Rimmel Acpocalypse- Stellar, Chanel Rouge Allure- 104 Passion, Kate Moss by Rimmel- 107 x2 [matte], Lime crime- Glamour 101, MAC- MAC red [satin], Revlon- 477 Black Cherry, Australis Velourlips- NY-CEE, elf Matte Lip Colour- RichRed, Second Row: Lime Crime- Styletto [this is Black mostly used for halloween], Maybeline Super Stay 14 Hr-065 Ravishing Red, Kate Moss by Rimmel- 111 Kiss Of Life [matte], L'Oreal Infallible-312 Ravishing Red, KLARA cosmetics SAMPLE- 03 & 05, MAC- Ruby Woo [matte], Kate Moss by Rimmel- 10, Maybeline- 645 Red Revival, Rimmel Moisture Renew- 330 Sloane's Plum, Revlon- 477 Black Cherry [back up still in package because i love it so], Rimmel- 170 Alarm)
So, this is my not so impressive collection at the moment, i've been delving into wines/plums a lot lately since its heading into winter soon, much like reds, these darker colours just fill me with a new level of confidence. I have such an itching for more, I can't go very many places without picking more up.
I think red is a very hard colour to pull off, its a very daring and bold colour if you aren't confident in doing it. You either have to wear it with pride or not wear it. Its just one of those staple pieces that makes me feel put together when i'm rushing out the door. I would definitely recomend the Kate Moss by Rimmel if you are looking for something to start you off, or MAC's MAC red. I sometimes doubt my own choices, trust me, but I have to stick with my gut, if it makes me happy, thats all I can ask for.
If you would like some swatche's either on the lips or on the hand let me know, and i'll try and make that happen.
Are you a bold lip person? Whats your favourite part of wearing a bold lip? Whats your go-to or Holy Grail shade/brand? I'm really open and interested in some new stuff to add too this collection.
Leave a comment or throw us a follow and lets chat about all the glorious wonders of lipstick.

Hi, hello.
Since this blog is like a shiny flashing new toy for me, I thought I would start by introducing myself, and the real reasons I am here, hopefully to stay.
There are a few reasons I am deciding to do this, my love of writing being the biggest, when I'm writing I'm happy, and that hasn't been a lot lately. Just like most people, I started 2013 with the highest of hopes, and due to a lot of things, those came crashing down, hard. Being physically unable to work, and therefore leaving me with very little social life has made the workings of my brain a train wreck, and its something I hope having this here can help. Its always been "going to" and never "I have" so for once and for all I am making this a have. In the largest of nutshells (I'm sorry, it takes me a year to get to the end of a story because I manage to tangent like a pro) I've been "going to" start a Blog/YouTube for years, and I never have, but if I must spend my days stuck in a rut, why not spend that rut making something useful, for me and for anyone really? I can't make an promises about a set subject, I can try but the chances of me sticking to one thing would be about the size of an ant, But what I will promise is that everything I post will be something I'm passionate about. Whether that be beauty reviews (Secretly, this is mostly because justifying spending money on make up so I can "test drive it" makes me feel less bad when I pull out my debit card), tips, tricks and pointless knowledge about cats, (My sister runs an animal rescue, and before I got "sick" year I used to help out a lot, so I'm pretty opinionated on the subjects of cats) or just writings and excerpts from the book I am trying to convince myself to start writing this year. If you feel like taking a journey into this crazy adventure with me, there are plenty of spare spots so come and bring a friend, or a cat.
I've already got a few things lined up that I want to post about, one being the reason I am physically unable to work, and another being my ins and outs of red lipstick. (Again, just an excuse to buy more)
Sending you eternal cat cuddles (or any other animal I'm versatile)
Ronny, x
