I went outlet shopping today, and actually ended up enabling others more than anything else! Even my mother readily admitted that her shopping bags outnumbered mine. hmm… now that’s interesting. One of my readers did ask me to post up my haul pictures, but I’m not sure whether the rest of you would be at all interested in seeing those. Quick vote
This is from last week, when the rain was coming down like a million sprinklers were attached to the sky. It was not pleasant. All the gray and gloom outside just made me want to break out something bright and red.
Thank you Hens for my very belated birthday present.
Sometimes, it pulls tomato on me…
Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Temper
…and sometimes, it looks more like a cherry red.
Either way it’s gorgeous, although it could probably use some lipliner to sharpen up the edges. Oh, well. Speaking of beautiful reds, I’m totally lusting after Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in Dragon. Santa…would you like to make a late delivery for me?

I would much rather hang out in the rain than all of this snow we have here. I hate snow so much!
Also, I would totally love to see your outlet haul.
aww no really?? I love snow! I left LA for Christmas just so I could see the snow
duly noted, thanks for the feedback!
Rare is the woman that doesn’t want to see a haul. Just sayin’.
Oh that is such a gorgeous red! I have one blush from Illamasqua and have to say that their pigmentation is on point. I hope you get that Chanel lippie! I didn’t know they had “Dragon” for lips.
‘Tis true
I rarely post clothing hauls on here, though. ooh which blush would that be? gahh I love Dragon so much because 1) it’s Chanel… and 2)crazy about red lips lately. I think your red lip post inspired that actually loll, btw have you been wearing any red lippies lately?
I decided that I’d check out MAC first for my red lippie but haven’t had the time! The Illamasqua blush I own is “Katie”. It’s a cotton candy pink!
ohh let me know when you do have time to get it! So did you decide to go safe or bright red? btw the easiest way to start wearing red lips is red gloss, but I don’t know if you’re a gloss kinda girl. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss (yup, I just love those) in Cherries in the Glow is probably the “safest” red I know of, but it definitely still looks red on the lips. Katie sounds so pretty! If I wore blush, I’d probably snatch that right up.
*giggles* I actually LURVE lipgloss. Cosmetics-wise, they are my one true love. *Which* is why me wanting to get a red lipstick is a quite the change for me. I’m thinking MAC Viva Glam I or Russian Red at the mo’. I’ll have to try it at the counter and see.
ohh yay you’re beginning to travel the path of lipstick! I think lipgloss and lipstick are tied at #1 in my heart…love em both to the extreme! both of those lippies look gorgeous, I wonder which one you’ll pick… DUN DUN DUN
I think I need to toddle off to bed now…
Waugh.. accidentally pressed the second one on the survey!! sorry for screwing le results… but yes! want to see them! provided you talk about them a bit ^^
That lip gloss is so pigmented I thought it was a lipstick!! very pretty on you!
s’ok. don’t worry, I will. It won’t just be a picture parade.
The Illamasqua Intense glosses are all this pigmented. I want them all! so pretty >.<
Very pretty lipgloss on you, girl! =) And yes, ack. Purity made me go out and buy Dragon too – she’s got good taste
aww thanks Pinch! hahaha it looks soo good on her. have you done a lip swatch of Dragon yet? I don’t recall seeing one
