This is the face of a lady who desperately needs a haircut, LOL! Oh, and a lady who’s about to jump on a video work call in about 15 minutes. 😬
Do you ever have one of those days when you look inside your makeup bag and find a long lost gem? That’s what happened this morning when I unearthed this warm pink liquid lipstick by Honest Beauty called Off Duty ($14.99). When you wear it full on, it looks pastel and opaque and has almost a ’60s vibe to it; it really comes through if you wear it with winged liner! I’ve been really into that look lately.
Anywho, the formula is pretty good as far as matte liquid lipsticks go. Not drying at all, and it stays out of my lip lines.
As for wear, it’s just OK. I blame it on the Rouge Dior Forever matte lipsticks, which have RUINED me for all other matte lipstick in terms of staying power. Off Duty is decent enough at staying on if you’re just gabbing, but it will lift if you’re drinking water or snacking on gummy bears.
Speaking of video calls, do you ever feel like all you do all day long is hop in and out of meetings? That’s my life for half the week!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I feel like I am in and out of meeting mornign to night, with very little time to get any actuaö work done in between! I like that for getting out my less worn lipsticks though, the ones that don’t last as long, because I take the beginning of the next meeting as clue to reapply. That way they get some love, because I usually don’t want to have to think about reapplication.
That is a pretty lipstick, Karen! I’m fortunate that I’m not that important at my job to be invited to a lot of meetings! Also we are in-office so we don’t have to do the zoom thing anymore!
You are *very* important! 🙂
OH, and lucky you to be spared from all the meetings. I went to one today and all I did was hide my silent rage for an hour.
How is life back in the office, by the way?
I never really got to work from home because I’m considered an essential worker. I test water samples, so it’s not something I can do on a computer! My bosses and office staff got to work from home, but in hindsight I’m sort of glad I had to just keep going in to work.
Gorgeous color on you. Chanel Rose Ecrin! One of my favorite blushes. I really love the older formula.
Gummy bears! None of my lipsticks stand a chance because I swear I’m addicted to gummy bears. I almost bought another share size bag of them yesterday, but put them back on the shelf. I think I need to take a month long break from them. And cookies and cake and candy and chocolate, too.
So my little one is addicted to gummy bears. Have you had the teeny, tiny ones they sell at Trader Joe’s? She swears they are the best.
Now that first grade is officially in full swing, I’m buying them all the time. 🙂
