rather than putting all this information on the front page, i'll reserve this little space for it, so come back and check regularly to see more lips.
my rules are simple:
1. no repeats- i am starting from a few days back, since i began logging my choices on specktra before i started posting them here.
2. if i wear more than one colour in a day [e.g., for going out at night], i still have to continue for the full thirty days.
3. i will try to the best of my ability to select colours that are different from one another. although i obviously have clear preferences, the key here is variety.
i'll only be posting about what i have on my lips, but if you have other questions, please feel free to ask. i'll do my best to help. i'm posting a bunch at the beginning, so i can get caught up from the point where i started, but otherwise, i'll only be adding a few at a time. for discontinued items, i recommend checking on ebay, with online retailers or through swap sites. if you want something badly enough, you will find it.
and so, on to the lips [pictures are clickable for a larger view]...

| mac :: black knight |
status :: limited edition [2009]/ discontinued
note :: many people will tell you that a black lip is the hardest to maintain [not me, though, i think a pure white lip is way trickier] and certainly with this lipstick there is a tendency for the natural lip colour to peak through, so i used a liner both around the contour [in black] and over the lips [a dark burgundy] to keep things more even.

Just found your blog via Temptalia I think? Just want to say that you are absolutely beautiful and I am loving all the lip looks!!!
Thank you very much, Terri! Glad you like them... I do have a bit of a lip obsession...
What a GREAT idea! So fun. You pull off all those looks/colors with perfect aplomb, too!
