Oh, Tivo… You’ve been so good to me lately.
It was really, really sweet of you to record six hours of The Millionaire Matchmaker… You know how much I enjoy that show (oh, hells yeah!). 🙂
But wait — what’s this? You also recorded Blue Crush, one of my favorite chick flicks of all time?
Aww!! And you even did it without my asking?
How did you know I’ve been missing Hawaii something fierce this week and that I needed something good to watch while swatching the seven $15 lippies in the MAC All About Orange collection (available now at MAC counters, stores and online)?
You know me so well…
You gave me three more reasons to love the living room — an orchard of orange lipsticks that tend to well with warm skin tones, a surf movie with spectacular views of Oahu and a napping tabby cat.
I feel…like one of the characters from Blue Crush, maybe a missing member of the surf girl crew, the one obsessed with orange lipsticks and surfing.
“Flamingo Lipstick rips, man. Neon Orange? Charge it, charge it, CHARGE IT!”
I would totally paddle out for tubes of Razzledazzler, Sweet & Sour, Tart & Trendy and Sushi Kiss, but Tangerine Dream? Probably not.
Whenever I wear that one, I look like I’ve been worked over by big waves.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Never mind that I can’t actually do anything cool on a surfboard.
I stand up. I fall down. That’s about it.
Sometimes I can turn the board while I’m riding a wave, but only occasionally and if it’s absolutely necessary…like if there’s someone directly in front of me in an inner tube, and I’m trying to keep from crashing into them.
And there’s no way I’d ever try to ride one of those big honkin’ waves. No way! My max are 2 and 3 footers.
Tart & Trendy looks amazing on you!
Thank you, Denise! Have a nice weekend!
Tangerine Dream… I wonder who that would be flattering on!
I know, right? I bet someone out there can rock it though!
Tangerine Dream is one of my favorite new lipsticks. I think it works on me because I have very pigmented lips (very rosy red, almost plum) so the yellow works out and makes it more pure orange. It can, however, highlight the yellow in your teeth. :-/
I’m with you and Lauren. I’m not sure if Tangerine Dream would ever look good on anyone. It’s straight up yellow-orange. :S
Tart & Trendy and Razzledazzler though? COME TO MAMA.
Yeah, girl! Don’t forget about Flamingo!
One of the things I’m most excited for in this collection is the lipsticks!! I love them all except Tangerine Dream, which looks a little off to me.
Hi Kelly,
Yeah, I think it takes a very specific skin tone to pull that shade off. It’s not the easiest to wear.
Which of the lippies are at the top of your list?
I bought Tart & Trendy and Tangerine Dream. Yes – I am that person who bought Tangerine Dream. I have yet to try it haha.
That’s awesome, Danielle! I hope you love it.
Just ordered Neon Orange lipstick. I like ordering from Nordstrom because they have free shipping and you get 3 free samples.
Hi Rachel,
Yes! They have a great return policy too. What samples did you get?
omg these are GORGE on you! which one would you say is the most pleasant and moisturizing texture? I’ve been having problems with lippies drying out my lips and making them feel rough and dry.
I’m considering razzle dazzle, sweet and sour, sushi kiss 🙂
Hi Yelena,
Razzledazzler and Sushi Kiss both feel great! I have dry lips, too, and these are both Lustre finishes, which feel moisturizing and light.
I think Tangerine Dream looks really good on you!! I wanted it, but I already have Sheer Mandarin Sheen Supreme, so I skipped it.
But I did get Flamingo, Sweet and Sour, and Sushi Kiss and they are wonderful!!
Hi Nicole,
Oh, I love all of those colors. Have you had the chance to wear Flamingo yet? It’s my fave.
I did yesterday and I love it!! So happy to get my hands on it, that was the one I was most excited for 🙂
I braved the tropical storm in Tampa yesterday to get first dibs on a couple of these lipsticks. Sushi Kiss was sold out at Nordstrom and the Mac store!! Ended up buying Tart and Trendy. Mac never has enough stock of their bright pretty lipsticks,they sell out too fast!
Hi Denise,
That’s my girl! 😀 I hope you made it to the mall and back without too much drama from the weather though. Glad you were able to get Tart & Trendy. If you still want MAC Sushi Kiss, it’s available online at Nordstrom.
Flashdance shirt! Way to rock it. 🙂 I know this collection would be horrific on me but I like how it’s bringing out your inner surfer. I have yet to try surfing and I feel I might be a little past my prime. No doubt I’ll embarrass myself anyway, someday. 🙂
She’s a maniac on the floor!
LOL
I want to go surfing with you someday. Name a time and place!
Tart&Trendy for me! 🙂
Great choice, Dorofee!
Have a wonderful weekend. 🙂
Wow, these all look great on you. Orange is your color!
Hi Vanessa,
Thanks. 🙂 Do you do orange, too?
Happy weekend!
OMG karen I LOVE your hair…your lippies look pretty hot too, but am loving the hair
