Dark Pink vs Velvet

These are the two LipSense colors I tried today. I started with Dark Pink because honestly it’s not my favorite… But I ended up liking the resulting photo better than Velvet!!

That just goes to show you that even when you think you don’t like a color, it can totally surprise you. So try the colors you aren’t sure of and you just might find a winner!

Broadway Bronze

I’m moving slow today…my back hurts for some unknown reason (guessing it’s just one of those “I’m old” things since I didn’t do anything to aggravate it) and it was all I could do to get out of bed. It feels like my back is going to go out at any moment so I’m moving extra cautiously because I. DO. NOT. WANT. THAT.

Anyhoo, I decided to do some of my fave natural earth tone shadows today (Sandstone Pearl Shimmer and Copper Rose Shimmer) so that obviously called for Broadway Bronze LipSense (out of stock Limited Edition, but I still have some). It’s one of my all-time faves.

Kiss My Sass

Kiss My Sass should totally be MY color because the name is TOTALLY me. I mean if you know me, you get what I’m saying. (My business is named Living Lippy after all — because I’m sassy aka lippy!)

But in full transparency, I know this isn’t my best color…but I can still wear it and feel okay in it! And now that I’ve redone the photo, it’s out of the way and I won’t need to do it again!

Happy 21st Anniversary

Happy anniversary to my lobster—21 photos for 21 years! I wouldn’t want to do this life with anyone but you.

And then I realized our marriage is old enough to drink today!

Trying to take an anniversary pic before we left for dinner with Anna and David and we had two photobombers! And I caught Tom mid-scowl.

And we left the kids home with this:

Why oh why have I not been wearing Napa???!?

Omgggg it’s sooooo much better than I remembered! I guess that’s the problem with personally owning about 40 colors and having access to all the other ones!

This might be my new favorite color… but stay tuned, because I’m going through and redoing all my LipSense photos and I’m sure to find other favorites I’ve forgotten about.

I’m getting lip filler! 

Yeah yeah, I know we have a Volumizer and I’ve recommended it so you don’t need needles…and I’ve used it myself! But while it did plump them up a bit and make them SUPER healthy, it didn’t give me the volume I’ve always craved… So I figured I’d try it once and see what I think. They said it would take about 4-5 days before it calmed down (but could take up to two weeks). Fingers crossed…but I like it so far!
