Well, it looks like I just found the title to my new tell-all book about being a member of Tabs’ inner circle.
I’m calling it Possessed by Purple: The Life and Times of a Makeup-Loving Cat Lady.
Isn’t that catchy? 🙂 Expect to see it on the New York Times Best Seller list soon.
Haha! Not.
The “purple” is in reference to the orchid obsession currently afflicting my makeup bag. I’m a little infatuated with Pantone’s Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid, so I’ve been wearing purple lips a lot lately…
The purple in this pic is by Sonia Kashuk. It’s her Shine Luxe Lip Colour in Sheer Plum ($10.99), and even though it’s a little darker than I expected for something called “Sheer,” I like it. It’s comfy, too — slick and lightweight — and oh, so moisturizing.
It’s available now at Target stores and also online.
Do you find the Shine Luxe Lip Colors to be a bit too soft? I tried a lighter shade and the lipstick smooshed down every time I applied it. But Sheer Plum is such a pretty shade I don’t know if I can resist!
I’m loving all these purple lip looks too, Karen! Purple is my favourite colour 🙂
Gorgeous color! 🙂
Love the color! Looks great on you.
For $11 I would pick up several shades!
This is so pretty on you Karen!
This looks so nice on you.
Beautiful and gorgeous color ^_^
This lipstick looks so pretty on you, Karen! I typically stick with coral lipstick, but I’ve been looking to mix up my makeup routine a bit, and I think an orchid shade of lipstick would do just that without being too over the top or time-consuming.
How would you compare these to Revlon’s Lip Butters? I’ve been overseas without Tarjay access unless I want to order on line. I like SK but 3yrs prior found her formulas drying for me. This however looks divine!
