One of my earliest memories was playing with my cousin’s makeup. I would hide in the bathroom and paint my face and put on layers of mascara and inevitably get in a lot of trouble. As a small child, I can remember being in tow when all of the females would make the visit to the Merrill Norman salon. I would watch in envy while their faces where painted in some hot pink mask. I have no idea what that pink stuff did, but I wanted my face covered in it.

As I progressed to a teenager, with a heavy hand on the eye shadow, my cousin took me to the department store for my first makeover. I have been hooked ever since! I literally cannot pass a makeup counter without trying or buying something. My two biggest obsessions are the longest lasting lipstick and the mascara which will give me long thick lashes. Skin care and anti-frizz hair products follow closely after.

I am a sucker for fancy packaging and the newest, best and so-called promised product that will turn me into one of the glamorous beauties in the latest fashion magazine. Unfortunately for me, most products don’t live up to the hype promised by the advertisement.

Therefore, I’ve decided, along with the help of some of my not so obsessive friends and family to post products that we tried so you can decide if you want to spend your money!

Lipstick Heaven

O-M-G was my initial reaction to the recently released 
Christian Louboutin lipstick.  

The packaging is so beautiful you expect beams of stardust to spill from the box.  The gold case looks like a beautiful Christmas ornament with its own sparkling ribbon.  It comes in three different varieties each with a different case.

Admittedly I had a hard time choosing one of the 20 colors offered in the Silky Satin Lip Colour, but I was not disappointed in the lovely shade of Let Me Tell You.  The rich colour lasts for several hours.



Is it worth the $90 price tag?  Is a Ferrari worth the price?  Probably not for most people, but it was for this obsessive compulsive lipstick collector!
