Valentine’s Day ? is here, so this is a purr-fect time to celebrate that most sanguine of seductresses — scarlet! The Ravenous for Red Lipstick series features the crimsons I’m currently cuckoo for.
Happy Valentine’s Day, babe! I hope that you and Ryan Gosling are having a lovely celebration of your eternal commitment to each other.
Ya know, I’ve been told I have a spicy ?️ personality, but when it comes to hot and spicy food, my heat ? tolerance level is negative 10. The spice must flow…but not into my food, thanks.
I do love a a hot red lipstick, though, like BECCA Hot Tamale! It’s the same color as a ghost pepper (or, in my case, a sweet red bell pepper).
Just so you know, this lipstick does not taste like a hot tamale.
- Who would like it? Anyone who can work reds with orange undertones and own that ish like they invented it, OK?
- What’s it similar to? MAC Lady Danger, but with a semi-matte finish instead of a matte one — so, more like a MAC Amplified lipstick finish (I’d call them sorority sisters).
- What else should you know? It’s $24 and available at the usual BECCA haunts, including Ulta and Sephora. It has a 4-hour wear time, too, and moves me to song (specifically D’Angelo) because it tastes and smells like brown sugar, babe.
I gets high off your love, I don’t know how to behave.
Are you doing anything for Valentine’s Day, by the way? I’ve got a cold (SURPRISE), so we’re gonna do a family Valentine’s Day with take-out tonight.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I know you love you nude lippies, but, GOSH! You look AMAZING in this bright lip color!
Thanks, Deretta! Happy Valentine’s Day to ya.
You’re rocking both of these reds!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Saw on the news that there’s a levee breach in your town and that the CHP might close 37. Hope you’re further away and dry. I know we need the rain, but I’m kinda wishing for a little sunshine for a few days.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you, friend!
We’ve a ways from the breach so we’re OK; the biggest thing happening in our neighborhood are a bunch of big branches falling off trees.
What are you and the hubs doing for Valentine’s Day?
I heard there was a house that came down the hill in a mudslide in Sausalito. So awful.
We went out to dinner this past Sunday. Just the two of us. It was nice. He’s leaving for Asia in the morning. ☹️
Aww, but he’ll be back soon! Is he still with the same company?
Where did you guys go to dinner?
He’ll be back in 11 days. I hate that I’m losing two weekends with him. This will make it 5 weekends since the new year that he’s been gone. Still finishing his commitments to the Japanese company he was working for, while he’s been doing a new job in The City. He gets up at 6 and out the door by 6:45 to catch the train and then he usually gets home exhausted at 7ish.
We went to The Village Pub in Woodside for dinner. It’s my favorite place for a celebration.
Love this, but you expected that from me ;). It looks beautiful on you!
Beautiful as always! Happy Valentine’s Day Karen!
This is my kind of red ? I love the orangey reds.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Sorry you’re not feeling well. I worked and then worked out with my trainer and my husband. Oh and I got an oil change ?
