Lip butter = lipstick!

Oh, the massive hype about the new Revlon Lip Butters ... yeah, I bought into it.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in color Raspberry Pie

And I'll tell you: This is a fantastic product, but it is not a lip butter, in the way most people would think. Sure, it's sheer, but it's a sheer lipstick. More moisturizing than the average lipstick, but still a lipstick!

Tangerine Tango, the color of the year

I'm sure we've all heard about the official Pantone color of the year for 2012, Tangerine Tango. Last year we had the hot pink Honeysuckle, this year it's all about the "spirited reddish orange" - from fashion, to interiors, to makeup!

Lancome Rouge Absolut in Rouge Symbole

Meet a lipstick you can't have (as far as I can tell): Lancome Rouge Absolut in Rouge Symbole. This is a GWP lipstick I picked up in a swap, and cannot find online at all, sadly. And it happens to look very much like Tangerine Tango in lipstick form.
