Product Review: Jo Malone - Vitamin E Lip Conditioner

 Lip Care is a very important part of my daily routine.  Lipsticks are my world, but unfortunately God only gave me ONE Set of lips.  Over my "Loving Lippies" Journey I've had my share of lip crisis.

I Thank God for my Best Friend who always thinking beyond the thinkable and getting me those things that I would never think of myself. Everyone needs at least one person in their life like that.

My 2 cents:

Jo Malone Vitamin E Lip Conditioner is the best lip conditioner that I've tired.  I'm not that picky when it comes to lip care items, however I prefer one that coats the lips and lasts for hours. I usually apply it before doing my makeup and wipe it off before applying my lipstick. It's a bit pricey so it doesn't leave my vanity area ... EVER. I'm afraid if I put it in my makeup bag, the chances of me losing it will be greater.  Just being honest, if this wasn't a gift, I couldn't say if I would ever own a lip care item that was over $7, but that's why I love my friend b/c she always think outside of the box and doesn't mind trying and recommending "The Best" things out there. Jo Malone has great products, if you have some extra money you should try this lip conditioner, you can't go wrong.

 I had to purchase a new lipstick holder to hold the overage.

Just know I have mixed feelings about it.  One half of me is excited about my collection growing. The Second half of me is worried that they are just sitting and I'm not doing anything with them.  Thus, I've decided to share and swatch my whole collection and one day soon I will start my review videos.

The answer to that question I'm always asked about lipsticks

Today is the day that I decided to answer that ONE question that I'm always asked about ME & LIPSTICKS!!!!!!

 +

Girl, Why you always wearing them ---

CRAZY

BOLD

WEIRD

LOUD

Lipsticks?????????????????????????????????????

Answer:

1. It's My Alter Ego:

A special friend said to me recently. " I love your look and all them lipsticks, it's like it's your Alter Ego" -- @mysisterlockjourney. Just know at that moment a light blub came on in my head.  Before she told me that I really didn't have a clue why I enjoyed wearing  bold & bright Lippies. It was just always "Something" about them that work for me. Not easy to explain, but let's see how I do.

2. Favorite Colors in the World:

I'm learning that it doesn't help, that blue and green are my favorite colors.  I sort of look at

them as a pair.  Not even realizing it, I always gravitate to the two.  All shades of Blue....All shades of Green.

Even if my God-daughter feels I look like (she says Nook Nike) a Bird. 

Left to Right: God-Daughter Ray, BFF, Me

Side Bar: We (Me, my husband, son, BFF, BFF husband, and BFF daughter/my God-daughter) were out at dinner one night.  She said very low and under her breathe "Mrs. Kenya  Nook Nike a Bird". Her mom asked her "What did you say?". She said again getting louder every time. "Mrs. Kenya  Nook Nike a Bird", "Mrs. Kenya  Nook Nike a Bird", "Mrs. Kenya  Nook Nike a Birdddddddddddd!!!!!!!!". I was so embarrassed. Even a baby who was too small to speak stared at me twice. We laughed, however that gave me a complex about that blue lippie.

"Mrs. Kenya  Nook Nike a Bird"

A few days later I met them at Wal-Mart. While shopping she pointed at a chip clip of a bird with a blue mouth. I said to myself, "Maybe I did Nook Nike a Bird".

3. To Inspire Women to Embrace Lipsticks

So....One day I woke up a said " I want to be Blogger" meaning a writer that writes about whatever's on their heart (my definition of a blogger). What should I write about I asked my self.  It came to me plain as day-- "Lipsticks, Lippies, and everything above, in-between, and below", if the makes and sense.

Along my Photography/Blogger Journey I realized in order to inspire someone I would have allow myself to go to the extreme with my choice of lipstick shades. Meaning if I can wear Greens, Blues, or Black, that means that a woman who may desire to wear lipsticks, but is afraid or self conscious about them can look at me and say " If  What's that Lippie? can wear those exotic shades, hell I can wear a conservative shade and pull it off." Yes, that's exactly how the lipstick inspiring goes.

I said all of the above to say. Life is too short not to live out the desires of your heart.  I love lipsticks and I feel like wearing them everyday makes me a happier person on this earth.  When you find your true passion, you always have to put your all into it.  Two years ago you couldn't have told me that I would be so crazy about what I do.

It moves my heart when someone that I know didn't wear lippies start to embrace them. At that time, I know that what I'm doing is working and it inspires me to keep going. Thank you to all my blog  readers,  Instagram and Facebook followers, and everyone that I met along the way.  I'm grateful for all your support and kind words.

Birthday Fun: 33 Looks even better on me!!!!!!

This year has been a great one for me. I started this blog January 3rd and it's has been wonderful.  Inspiring women to embrace lipsticks has really gave me a happiest that is unexplainable.  It moves my heart when I find out that she now enjoys lipstick because of me. That's works for me.  "What's that Lippie" had embodied my heart and I am all that is lips, lipstick, and beauty. 

My First Blog Post

I wanted to do something DIVA, different, and definitely special for my 33rd birthday. I love African and Ankara Fashions.  Why not get with my mom and create one last clothing masterpiece.  I'm a very picky and detailed individual .  For this piece I knew that it had to have a pussy bow and and flowing skirt, 3/4 sleeve.  That "I'm a Classy Woman" look is what I was going for. Let's see how I did.....

My Birthday Cake



You only turn 33 once. I wanted to make sure I created an unforgettable - life lasting memory of these double three's.  

My 33rd Birthday Video

Oh!!!! I almost forgot. My Birthday Lippie was a combination of  Jeffree Star's Velour Liquid Lipstick Red Rum and Unicorn Blood 

My Eyebrow Tutorial

Being a Lipstick Blogger (I solely write about lipsticks only), it's hard to believe I made my first makeup tutorial. I guess I've watched enough of them to make one with my cell phone. Just know the sky is the limit and never limit yourself. Thank You to all the special people in my life who believed in me.

Please let me know what you think

Product Review: MAC Cosmetics RETRO MATTE LIQUID LIPCOLOUR

 This review is long, long, longgggggggg over due!!! Please note: I've been straddling the fence about these Lippies for a while. Let's just say it was a love/hate type of situation.

Anyone that knows me well, knows that I Love MAC Cosmetics -- Period. I am a die hard, it will always be my first choice, faithful MAC lover.  

2015 was the mighty year that Liquid Lipsticks showed up on the scene. Every company brought us their spin on this long lasting lipstick. I can remember wondering when would MAC join the game.  Thankfully, there were fashionably late January 7, 2016, however the shade line up made it worth the wait.

Let's take a look at these babies!!!!!

A few days after they launched, I picked out the four colors in the lineup that I felt were brown girl friendly.  Please note that 1 of the 4 (Recollection) was sold out, that left me 3. 2 out of the 3 I had left were on backorder (Oh, Lady and Dance with Me), meaning only high drama shipped out to me.  I was kinda hurt, but thank God I have a MAC Counter around the corner from my house.  The objective was to swatch the shades I ordered and one that a friend wanted to see. This was quite simple right?...Not quite.

After swatching the lippies on the back of my hand, I went to Bath and Body Works to pick up a few items.  While at the white top counter purchasing my items, I looked down and you won't believe what I saw. Lipstick all over their counter.  I was so embarrassed.

  The clerk said, "No worries hunny, we will clean it off". I went to the sink and did my best to wash it off, but without a makeup wipe handy it didn't work the lipstick was still on my hand.  Yeah, we started off on a bad note, however because I'm loyal to MAC I did not hold that against them.  Despite the occasional flaking, I still continued to wear my lippies.
One day I went to the MAC store in Atlanta, GA and the most helpful  MAC makeup artist I've meet so far gave me a tip for life. She told me to use MAC Prep + Prime Lip Base underneath these Liquid Babies.

Let's just say, this girl knows her stuff.  I've have been rocking these joints almost everyday. They are quickly moving up my lippie list.

Oh, Lady

 Recollection

 

 Although we had a rough start, I definitely recommend these lippies. MAC you have something good here, when you use the Prep + Prime.
