Um…this coat is ridiculous.
I live in Northern California and freak out when it drops below 40 degrees. What do I need an arctic explorer’s coat for? I can barely see out of the hood!
Haha! Yup, I made myself laugh. 🙂 I love that.
I’m wearing the coat because it seemed fitting for pics of these two new holiday lip kits from Buxom — the 15-piece Buxom Freezes Over kit and six-piece 6° Below Sexy.
The bigger kit has three different mini lip formulas, including five super shiny Full-On Lip Polishes, five not-so-shiny Full On Lip Creams (both of which apply with a good deal of pigment but get sheerer over time) and five even less shiny Wildly Whipped Lightweight Liquid Lipsticks, while the smaller kit’s lippies are just straight-up tinted shine.
All of the items in both kits are supposed to be plumping, but they aren’t the kind of plumping that hurts (thankfully!). There’s no sting. It’s more of a visual illusion (one that I can’t say I really notice), and they’re all very comfortable, just like every Buxom lip product I’ve ever worn.
I’m wearing the dark plummy Wildly Whipped Lightweight Liquid Lipstick, which smells and tastes faintly of vanilla, to go with my plum eye look, and the formula feels light and wonderful, kind of like painting my lips with fluffy cream cheese…

I’m not sure how long it lasts because I’m about to take it off to have breakfast (El Hub got donuts!!!!), but based on the feel, I expect it would last a few hours.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to be having donuts. 🙂
P.P.S. What are you doing this weekend? After breakfast I’m going to FINALLY get my hair did. It’s been a while… Wish me luck!
Donuts are the Lord’s work, to quote Ericca awhile back (I believe the topic then was fave coffee flavors).
Al the best with your hair! It will look great!!
These kits have some lovely shades. And the sparkles are very pretty!!
Karen, is that the new J.Crew Nordic parka you’re wearing? It sure looks a lot like it… I’m looking at one hanging in my closet right now! You’ve got great taste, but when will it ever get cold enough in California to wear it?? Even in Philly, I’m figuring there will be only a few days this winter that I’ll actually need it (and then I’ll be really, really, really glad that I have it… ) OK, no, it’s not, mine doesn’t have that quilting on it, but, still… that looks like a very warm parka for California!
The lightweight liquid lipsticks look really nice! Especially Criminal. I’m not so sure about the others — I’m not much of a gloss girl.
Ha, I live in a coat like this at the moment, The only thing that sees me through hourlong playground visits without freezing to death.
Those little lippies are so cute!
I need to get my hair done…my ends are awful. 🙁
I probably need more of a coat like that! Last winter in Michigan was really mild, where my peacoat was okay, but the two before that were really bad.
I’m sitting around all weekend, I have bronchitis. I’m kind of sad I have to miss my friends’ burlesque show tonight, but I need to try to get better, I’ve been sick for weeks.
I had a pumpkin donut yesterday at work. It was delish!
Hair pics plz! 🙂 You look so cute in that hood, a real ice princess.
