Ofra Liquid Lipsticks, Honolulu, Mina

This is the last part to my three part series on these Ofra liquid lipsticks.  These last two shades I like, but they are ones that I'm not sure I can pull off but want to.  You know what I mean?

Am trying to come up with something to talk about.  I am just out of ideas people.  I did have a thought this morning though.  I love to watch the Food Network channel.  Lately, they have really gotten a bit out of hand with all the celebrity "chefs" having their own shows.  There is Valerie Bertinelli, Marilu Henner and now I see Patricia Heaton.  On the sister channel the Cooking Channel they have Tiffani Theissen and Tia Mowry plus a couple of country singers whom I don't know who they are, I just know the blond chick with the whiny high voice drives me nuts.

Since when are celebritys chefs? I watch Food Network to see actual I went to school chefs.  Not a bunch of older celebrity chicks cooking.  Nope don't want it, don't need it.

Whatever happened to Aarti Party or Ten Dollar Dinners and the like? Why is the new winner of the Food Network thing not have his own cooking show with his own recipes? Why is he just reviewing BBQ joints?  There was once one season of this chick who did easy French recipes that I really liked. No idea where that one went.

Am I the only one bothered by this new trend of celebrity cooking shows? Maybe I need to get a life and not worry about things like this? My mind is a wild rambling place.  I woke up in the middle of the night last night with a Young and the Restless soap opera realization.

Yes people. My mind is a scary place.

A reminder of the set I own.

We shall be looking at the darkest colors today.  First up is Honolulu.  This one I do think I can pull off on a day when I'm feeling fierce and bad a*s.

I have yet to wear this one yet-but in the tube, you can see some shimmer. It's the only one I own that I can see that in.  Isn't it gorgeous????

Now the last one is the one I really don't know about.  It's called Mina and it's pretty but damn does it scream here I am!!

Since these don't feather on my lines, I would be more inclined to try this out.  Other lipsticks I've tried in this color range were high maintenance due to the feathering issue.  I think this one with a good MAC liner and I'll be good to go.

Thought I'd show you all of these at once.  Yes I could have saved you from these three posts.  But what fun would that have been?

HEHEHE. My lips are invading the internet! No it won't "break" the internet like Kim Kardashian being naked. Yes I love these colors.  I am still wearing the hell out of them.

So what do you think of these? Did you like this three part series?  Are you now tired of my lips?

Until next time people. Any thoughts out there?

Ofra Liquid Lipsticks, Miami Fever, Americano

Today is part two of three posts on Ofra liquid lipsticks. You had best believe that I will be buying more of Miami Fever when it's re-released today.  I need about ten backups I think! I've already worn it twice to work and can't seem to get enough of it.

I've decided it's time for me to see a shrink.  It won't be the first time in my life that I have needed to see one.  I find it rather helpful once I've made up my mind that I need one.  It's been nine months since my dad passed and I am still grieving like it was yesterday.  Although I am not crying to the extent I was then, it is still affecting me very deeply.

I find I am angry a lot.  Angry at the world.  Angry at my job. Just angry with a side of hard core depression.  It's not a good place to be.  Luckily my job allows you to get five free sessions and if you need more, insurance covers that with a copay.  I've made the phone call, I am just waiting to make the appointment.

Yesterday at work was insane.  I was covering my work on top of covering a coworker who had taken some time off.  I literally had another huge pile like the one I showed you a few posts ago.  I had a regular doctor's appointment in the morning and I brought my work with me to do while I waited!

When they checked my blood pressure it was high at 160/90. I never have pressure that high.  My doctor told me all about the effects of stress and that I need to be less stressed.

Um..............OK.

Now how the f*ck do I do that?

Another reason why I think the shrink will do me some good.  Hopefully some tips on how to not be stressed when your life is a big sh*tpile of stress.

Now let's get back to the lips!

Here are the colors once again that I'm showing you.

First up today is my favorite in collaboration with You Tuber Kathleen Lights called Miami Fever.

Ugh.  How gorgeous is this??? I die every time I wear it.  Yes this is my perfect lip shade.  At least at this moment in time!

Next is Americano.  This is a darker version of Miami with a bit more brown.

See what I mean? Still a stunner for sure.  I plan on wearing this to work a lot.  I am still in love with this formula and wear time.  I definitely recommend this brand to those looking for something new to try!

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?

Ofra Liquid Lipsticks, Sao Paolo, Mocha

This is the first of three posts showing you swatches of the liquid lipsticks I have from Ofra.  This is not a sponsored post, these are ones I bought myself.  But I still wanted to review them for you.  I had to break it into three posts as it just would have been too picture heavy and overwhelming for you!

Am listening to Frank Zappa "Dinah-Moe Humm." It's hilarious.

I think I have figured out a trick to false lashes.  Which has nothing to do with this post, but I just had to share it with you.  All the YouTubers say to let the glue sit for thirty seconds before applying the lashes.  Well that just wasn't working for me.  I realized that as a beginner I needed the glue to sit longer.  So instead of sitting there watching the seconds on my watch tick, I put the glue on and put the lashes on the table while I do my brows or whatever.

For me, it's about a two minute wait.  Then the glue is very tacky and when you press the lashes to your lid it sticks instead of before when the glue was still too wet the lashes just slid right off.  So this past Friday I actually got the right lash on in the right place the first try.  The left eye I still need to work on. But now I know what to do to make it less stressful.

So if you're a lash beginner, learn from me!

The world of liquid lipstick is new to me.  I really didn't understand it.  Lately I'm on a huge matte lipstick kick. Whereas the first time I got into makeup before nail polish, I was all about the layering. Liner, lipstick and gloss. Yeah that's a lot of upkeep.

I did order some of the Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipsticks but for me, they were too liquid and wet.  I made a mess of my face putting them on so I sent them back.  I figured liquid lipsticks just weren't for me.

Then I saw someone wearing Kathleen Light's collaboration color with Ofra that is a burnt orange color and I just about fell out of my chair.  I immediately ordered one as they said it was limited edition.  Almost ordered two then, but figured I'd start with one.

Let's just say it was love at first sight and first wear.  Ofra's formula is highly pigmented and not nearly as liquid so it made them easier to apply.  Plus, it didn't move from my lips.  Yes if you drank water it left color on the glass.  I'm talking about it sort of stains the lips and stays in place at the same time.  You don't have to reapply that often and for me, it didn't travel into my fine lines around my lips.  For me, that is huge.  As very liquid lipsticks and glosses do that to me.

Here are the colors I will be showing you over the next three posts.

You can see the label on the Kathleen Lights one is backwards! Today, I will be showing you Sao Paolo and Mocha.  I went from light to dark.

I did not use liner in theses pictures.  I did not do any photoshopping.  These are my lips in all their getting too close to 50 glory. Now normally, I would totally use lip liner first simply to get the crisp outline in place on your lips.  The Miami Fever one is a spot on dupe for MAC liner in Cream Kiss.

Here is Sao Paolo.  This is my least favorite one.  It's too light for me.

It's a gorgeous color, just for my taste, it's too light.

Next we have Mocha.

What do you think? Should I become a lip model? I wore Mocha to work this past Friday and it stayed in place, didn't feather into my lines and yes you can build up the color to make this a bit deeper.

Oh and lastly, I am a Chapstick junkie and this does dry my lips a bit, but at a tolerable level for me to not have to add Chapstick all day long.

Stay tuned for the next two colors!

Until next time people.  Any thoughts out there?

Enchanted Polish May 2014, Dope Jam

Today I have two different Enchanted Polish for you.  The sun has been out lately so I've been able to wear holos again!

I'm excited about what's coming up here.  I have a three part series on Ofra liquid lipstick swatches in store for you. I hope you guys like it!

It's finally getting chilly here.  First frost actually this morning.  I love the cold!  My poor cats are all huddled up together as I either keep the windows open, or only put the heat on if it's below 65F in the house.  It's what I grew up with.  My parents house was always cold as it just cost too much to have the heat on a lot of the time. It actually snowed there yesterday already.  Yeah they get it there big time!  I do miss the snow though.

Nothing new to report at work yet.  I haven't run into the higher up yet and Annoying is being just that. Annoying.  She has one of those voices that just send shivers up your spine.  Oh and because she thinks she's all that, she missed work this past Friday so she could go give a talk somewhere else. She just moved to town and is already doing talks?

Yes I do lung cancer talks, but I was sort of roped into doing them and I certainly didn't volunteer as each time I do it I freak out.  Yes I know my stuff backwards and forwards, but you get in front of a room of people and my mouth gets all dry and I talk too fast and yeah it's not fun.  I'm due again early November.  So I need to start pumping myself up.

One of the doctors played a joke on me recently.  He can be a hard a** and he does make people cry and scared of him on the inpatient floor where his patients are.  I don't have a problem with him, but when he's mad it's a pain you know? So I get a voicemail from him asking why I gave one of his patients away to his partner when he could have seen the patient.  Now I'm like great he's going to yell at me.  So I text him saying call me so you can yell at me.

He gets on the phone and before he can even say anything, I'm explaining myself and then I hear him say he's messing with me and the other doctor is in on the joke.  So they are both laughing their a*ses off at my expense and I had to admit they got me good!  Things like that make me like my job.  I need more of those to happen.

All right, let's look at two gorgeous EP holos.

The first one is May 2014.

You better believe I'm wearing Fall colors as they are my favorite.  I don't think this was a very popular color when it was released, but for me, it's perfect!

Now the last from the most recent collection.  Dope Jam.
