Winter Lips

I own a lot of lip products, I hate to admit it, but probably too many...

What am I talking about?! There's no such thing as too many lip products!

Here are a few that I've been reaching for most since it's gotten colder. Bolder lips are always a winner in the winter, they make a great contrast against paler, sun-less skin.

From left to right...

Mac Satin Lipstick in Film Noir - A very dark berry colour.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate in 107 - I think nearly everyone and their mother owns this, but for very good reason. A matte berry/purple; the photo does not do it justice.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate in 01 - A glossy, dark blue-red.

Diorific Haute Couture Long Wearing Lipstick in Dolce Vita - A matte orange-red.

MaxFactor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint in 03 - Another berry shade, more sheer than a lipstick but builds like a dream.

But what would winter be without some gorgeous lip balms to beat chapped lips away?!

Burt's Bees Lip Balm with Pink Grapefruit - Grapefruit is the best scent in the world; it's so cheerful and refreshing!

Clinique Chubby Stick in Two Ton Tomato - A sheer but fairly bright red. If I could buy one of these in every colour I would *sigh*.

Also... Isn't the fake snow in Plymouth so pretty? It hasn't snowed here in over 150 years, how depressing!

So... Purple.

I've been wanting to dye my hair for a while, but I've never had the manhood for it. But after a couple of weeks of pestering from my housemates...
"Uni is the time to get to do things like this!"
"Come on, take a little risk for a change!"
"You can't got through your whole life with only one hair colour!"
...I've bitten the bullet and bought some dye.

Semi-Permanent obviously; I'm not THAT brave.

It wasn't that hard to do really. The only tough part was not dyeing my face or ears, and I did have a bit of a falling-out with the shower head. I dropped it whilst it was still turned on and then I couldn't catch it while it was flailing about. But at least the bathroom walls got a good wash. 

So anyway...

When I first dried it I freaked out a little bit... "Oh my God, it's BLACK!!" but the girls have told me that it should fade in a couple of days and be more of the Plum colour that the box promised. We'll see...

I probably should have eased myself into this whole 'hair-dyeing' fiasco a bit more slowly. Perhaps gone for a chocolate brown, instead of straight in there with purple. Still, it could be a lot worse...

And at least it matches my Mac - Film Noir lipstick!
