So, my obsession with superbright lipsticks isn’t going anywhere. I’m
actually finding that the best way to pick myself up when the weather leans
towards bone-chillingly freezing, and the sun sets around 2:30 PM is to put
on something springy and paint my lips a happy hue. Milani’s Mandarina shade
is my newest favorite, and it’s working its way into my rotation along with
my Lime Crime Fuchsia. The formula is super creamy, and has an excellently
comforting “lipstick” smell; I can’t really describe it, but it reminds me
of my mom… I’m totally in love! One coat gives just just the perfect
orangey red glow. Consider me a full convert from super-basic balm to
pigment-rich lacquers! Oh brother, I get more and more high maintenance
every day!

Word on the beauty street is that Blair Waldorf’s fave gloss is L’Or??al Paris’ Infallible Plumping Lipgloss in Plumped Red. “It gives me that extra little boost when I really want my lips to pop,” says Leighton. Oh my! Her loose lips won’t sink ships… But they just might plant one on Chuck Bass!

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I’m extremely indecisive when it comes to my hair color. I’ve been bright blonde, an assortment of brunette shades, and near close to black. I’ve toyed with the idea of becoming a redhead for some time, but have always been too afraid to take the plunge.

Who: Cheap Monday, Vena Cava, Wayne, Band of Outsiders… And more!

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m obsessed with online shopping. I’d say more than 75% of the clothes/stuff I buy is through a dotcom these days! I just discovered a new website, Goodshop.com, which donates a percentage of each purchase from more than 1,400 stores to the charity of your choice! Definitely worth a feel-good visit!
