I've always been such a huge fan of lipsticks/lip glosses/lip balms/lip stains or really anything to do with putting some color onto my mouth. Unfortunately, I wasn't blessed with being born with naturally rosy pink lips, and instead I ended up with kind of a drab barely-pink color. Thus began my obsession!
Now I'm really not one for beauty reviews or anything of the sort (that's more of my little sister's thing), but I love trying out new products, so I decided to post a couple photos of my latest lipsticks and some books that I've been reading lately that seemed to go along well with them based on the color!
Of course, I have to start with this Frog Prince lipstick by Lipstick Queen! When my older sister and I found out about it, we were both amazed and decided we had to try it. It's just another variation of that 'mood changing' lipstick that my mom claims was so popular in the '80s, but there's something really fun about having a product that adjusts to you and especially you.
The title's so whimsical, as well as the pink tube, so I thought it went well with Agatha Christie's Five Little Pigs since they both deal with fairy tales or children's stories. If kissing a frog was anything like this hydrating lipstick, I wouldn't mind smooching one at all (did I really just say that).
This other lipstick is actually one that I wore to prom, and it's the Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy in Intriguing. I love the color names for these, and the sassy yet elegant brown that this particular one gives is sophisticated, much like Wilde's stories. They're classy and classic.
Lastly, I've got Too Faced La Crème in Coral Fire, which made for such a nice summery color that makes a bold statement. I felt that Margaret Atwood's books also make strong points with her feminist ideas and desire for justice. The first book I read by this author was The Edible Woman since I had a friend who loved it, and I would recommend it to anyone!
