I tend to be more of a lipgloss than a lipstick kind of girl. However, there are times I want to look pulled together a bit more, with a bit more "stay" to my lip color and I need a lipstick. I do tend to pick the same kinds of colors each time, just due to the fact that I get hesitant about picking a color that just won't work. Maybe I put too much thought into it. Ha!
Max Factor and
Total Beauty have teamed up with a
fun quiz to help me (and you) to find out which lipstick shade matches our personalities. They say:
"Soft on the inside yet bold on the outside, highly pigmented lip colors can speak volumes about your personality -- before you've uttered a word. Find out which shade of the beauty editor- and consumer-favorite MAX Factor Vivid Impact Lipcolor you should be wearing."
After taking the quiz, the color it picked for me wasn't something I would have picked up for myself at first, but I will def take a look at it when I go to the store, as I *do* love a mauve:
Your ideal Vivid Impact Lip Color: Ms. Terious
Some might describe you as demure, but if they really knew you, they'd see the fire within. A die-hard romantic, you prefer to express your emotions through your eyes, and on most occasions, a sultry smokey eye. Keep this mauve-y nude shade, one of 20 highly pigmented colors, on hand for muted (yet soft and kissable) lips.
Go on and take
the quiz and let me know what color it says about you. I would love to know if you agree with it, or if it gives you an idea of something new to try.
Okay, lovelies, you are *not* going to get a "Holiday Gift Guide" from me. The reason is simple. I am just too damn lazy - not to just make a guide, but to go out and get the presents I need to get myself. I am a far too close to the last minute gift buyer, so I think it might be a wee bit hypocritical to give you a guide that I can't even pay attention to myself. Not that I haven't read some great ones, mind you. In fact, just click on just about any link in my sidebar over there, or head over to the
beauty page at alltop.com and you will find many great gift guides that several of the other lovely beauty bloggers have put together for your shopping convenience.
Now, that's not to say that I haven't found a little something for the girls Secret Santa drawing at work.
It is a kit of the new Max Factor spokeswoman, Gisele's, favorite products. It includes:
- Lipfinity 3D Lipcolor in 80's Pink (I am such an 80's freak)
- MAXeye Liner in Fresh Coffee
- Vivid Impact Eye Shadow in Domino Effect (I have got to tell you about these things)
- Volume Couture in Black Brown
All of these come in a little makeup bag, too. All of this is only
$20 + tax, with *free shipping*.
So, yeah, this will be a great gift for the swap, or a stocking stuffer if you have a girl you need to buy for. Of course, now looking at this again, I am seriously considering keeping this and throwing a Starbucks card in the pile. What? It's not like they know what they would be missing out on, and man, wouldn't I look as fab as Gisele while they sip their coffee?
