White polo shirts are part of my sister's uniform, but the daisy headband and purple lipstick are her own embellishments! I really like them in combination, because the daisies look fresh and innocent, but the lipstick is vampy. Incongruity = satisfying.
The lipstick is MAC "Heroine", a name that until now I had only ever heard, as opposed to read, so I assumed that it referred to the drug, which seemed exploitative to me. But YAY, instead we're talkin' 'bout lady knights and Marie Curie! Speaking of lipstick, today I tried on my friend's Revlon "Super Lustrous" creme lipstick in "Toast of New York" (whew, that's a mouthful) which I loved.
Okay, possibly I had too much fun with that. But a selfie taken to show off a lipstick called "Toast of New York" requires a psychedelically processed cityscape background, right? Anyway, the color leans more toward chocolate in person (although not to the extent of MAC "Film Noir"). Swatches on IMBB illustrate the shade pretty well. I might pick up some of these "Super Lustrous" cremes (and by "might" I mean "probably won't because I hate spending money", but still) because they're soft and easy to wear. I already have "Siren", which is an awesome bright orange.
ERMAHGERD LIPSTICK!!! Seriously though, it's my favorite kind of makeup.

ReplyDeleteLove the lipstick! There are so many crazy and vivid colors out there now, it's pretty overwhelming!
ReplyDeleteAin't that the truth! Jamie bought some really cool ones recently: http://www.petitepanoply.com/2014/05/weekend-roundup-4.html
Delete~nods~ Heroin. Heroine. The feminine -e ending makes an enormous difference.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in her hair are sweet. And you look like you're definintely having a fun time.
The city is doing you good?
Yeah, it's great to be with people I love but don't get to see often!
DeleteLipstick colors are so much fun! I'd never think to wear purple lipstick but it looks great on your sis. I always stick to the classic red myself.
ReplyDeleteClassic red is, well, classic! I like to play with different colors.
DeleteSo I used to totally hate lipstick and only do lipgloss. I have completely flipped and now cannot go without lipstick!
ReplyDeleteI find gloss hard to deal with. My hair always sticks to it, haha =P
DeleteI can never find the right shade of lipstick....what looks great on the color chart or in the tube usually looks appalling when applied. I'll have to get you girls to help me with that next time we are together!
ReplyDeleteYes! We can play with our mutual lipstick collections!
