Lipstick Virgin

I caused a bit of controversy on instagram the other week when I declared I had bought my first lipstick.

I have used red lipstick very infrequently in the past using a freebie I got somewhere but haven't touched lipstick in a decade or so.  The last few times I attempted red lipstick I felt ridiculous.  I felt like a 5-year-old who had been through her Mummy's makeup drawer and just looked wrong.  I don't know what compelled me to do so but I decided I'd try a bright pink instead.  Fuchsia seems to suit my skintone quite nicely so I impulsively threw a Bourjois lipstick (Fuchsia Graffiti) into my Asos shopping cart and hoped for the best (I also found out you can get it from Priceline).

Can I just say, why on earth haven't I been wearing lipstick all these years?!??!?!  I'm yet to go to raid my sister's makeup drawer and try some other colours but I'm over the moon that I found a lipstick that doesn't make me look like an idiot.

Do you wear lipstick?  If you don't, why not?

SALE: Forever New, Priceline, Peter Alexander, Forcast, Target, Saba, Pilgrim, Glassons

Oh my gosh Australia has suddenly exploded with a million sales going on...

Forever New has 24% off storewide (including sale items) til 6pm today.  Get on it.  I did - this was the result:

I know there's an unusually high number of black items, especially for me!

If you haven't heard about the Priceline sale, you might be living under a rock with no access to the world wide webs.  It's 40% off ALL cosmetics.  Cr-zazy.  I was restrained.

My HG top coat, Essence peach glitter nail polish for one dollar something, L'Oreal bright pink gloss to replace my current one which is old, and also bought an Australis Glitter polish yesterday

Peter Alexander has 40% off selected items, ends 7pm tonight.

Forcast has an extra 40% off sale items.  Prices as marked.

Von Follies (Dita Von Teese's line) at Target is all at least half price.  I didn't buy anything because frankly I don't need anymore underwear and I rarely never wear nice/fancy lingerie these days - it's all about comfort and cotton for me!!

In the spirit of Anzac Day, Asos has 20% off storewide with the code TWOUP.  Get on that stat.

Harrods is having 10% off storewide this weekend if you are a Harrods Rewards member.  Free to sign up. 

30% off storewide at Saba.  Nothing left in my size :(
