Hangin' Tough with Clinique Party Red - Makeup and Beauty Blog

When I'm feeling great, I think of myself as a strong and tough daughter, but my inner warrior's been MIA for weeks. I've felt kinda beaten down. This morning I wanted — correction — I needed a option-me-up, and I turned to Clinique Political party Cherry-red. Every time I looked at myself in the mirror today, this cerise lip reminded me of the fighter I know I can be.

To get the look, a archetype red lip and neutral centre, I used a few items from the Clinique Party Red holiday makeup collection (available soon).

Butter Smooth Lipstick in Parisian Red, $fourteen (limited edition)

A warm and creamy brick red, Parisian Cherry-red belongs to Clinique's line of Butter Shine Lipsticks. Its soft, buttery texture feels moisturizing, and it'due south easy to utilise (even straight from the tube).

With a sleeky finish, this shade of red has visible pizazz merely isn't "too sexy" for work (although it might be too sexy for church, LOL!). Makeup and Beauty Absorb Rating: A

Quick Optics Cream Shadow in Sparkling Nude and Lucky Penny, $14.50 each

Sparkling Nude

Lucky Penny

For my look today I wore Lucky Penny (a shimmery light tan) on the lid and Sparkling Nude (a shimmery beige) on the brow bone.

Both shades practical without a hitch, composite easily and lasting all twenty-four hours long without noticeable creasing or fading. If you oasis't tried any of the Quick Eyes Cream Shadows, try to discover 1 of these neutral shades, stat, considering non simply are they cute and long lasting, but they fifty-fifty work well every bit a base for powder eyeshadows.

Brush-On Foam Liner in True Black, $14.l

A deep and creamy shimmerless black, Truthful Blackness looks great worn as a thick line on the upper lash line. It's actually dark and highly pigmented, and even though it isn't a shimmer shade, the blackness packs some gloss when information technology dries. If you like MAC Fluidlines, so I call back yous'll honey this! Makeup and Dazzler Blog Rating: A

I'm a PC, and I'll Swallow Your ATM Carte!

Tardily yesterday I was in the middle of doing my bank deposit at an ATM motorcar when all of a sudden a Microsoft Windows mistake popped up: "Runtime error!!!" with all these exclamation marks and evil-looking X's. Seconds later on the ATM screen went totally black … and and so a very naughty looking behemothic red triangle with a ruddy exclamation marker appeared in the heart of the screen.

Note to file: if this ever happens to y'all at the ATM, the prognosis is NOT GOOD.

The machine swallowed my card, the checks I was depositing and drove me a fiddling insane. To make matters worse, there wasn't an emergency phone number anywhere. Yup, totally SOL.

Yesterday this wasn't funny to me at all, but it is today. I guess that'south the Party Red lipstick working her magic!

Promise your Thursday didn't involve any ATM card swallowing incidents!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen
