Orange you lovely: new lipstick is fun

21 Mar

Everywhere you look, you hear about how orange is the IT colour for spring.

Well. At least everywhere I look. I don’t really know where you’re looking. You might be looking in the place that is talking all about honeysuckle as the colour of the year or whatever.

Lame. Not as fun as orange.

Amplified lipstick in Neon Orange from M.A.C. was in the Globe and Mail Style section this weekend, and it’s getting coverage on a myriad of blogs.

Obviously I had to have it.

The thing about lipstick is, if you only have time in the morning for mascara, powder and blush, which is often the case with me, you can jazz up your look just by applying lipstick on the metro on the way to work.

Did I just say “jazz up”?

Yep. I sure did.

Having fun with eyeshadow has the advantage of not getting on your teeth or wearing off when you drink your coffee. But it also requires a lot more time in front of the mirror in the morning. Time I could be using to sleep and/or sit on the floor in the shower.

What? You totally do it too. I do my best thinking down there.

Neon Orange is not for the faint of heart. It’s far more neon than you can see in this iPhone self-portrait. Remember the Zinc you used to put on  your nose as a kid? Yah. That.
