Things I’m crushing on this weekend…

Ryan Reynolds
Toe socks (brr… it’s cold in here)
The Clinique Black Tie Violets collection!!!

That there at the top is the Black Tie lip combo I wore to the movies last night.

I went with Defining Liner for Lips in Pomegranate ($14) layered beneath Different Lipstick in Different Grape ($14), and for extra sparkle and shine I added Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine in Bloomberry ($18).

It made the movie easier to bear, LOL!

As far as the colors and finishes of the products I used (to dupe them with other things from your collection), the combo breaks down to…

A shimmery reddish blue lip liner
A creamy violet lipstick
A lipgloss in a shimmery pink

I’m picturing the look with thick black cat eyeliner. Wouldn’t that look hawt?

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. Did you do anything fun tonight? I just got back from pizza, and now I’m looking for a brainless movie on iTunes. Tabs says “meow.” He wants me to get The Ugly Truth. He loves those romantic comedies…

What a gorgeous pink! It’s amazing how the color of the lipstick really changes when it’s layered under the gloss. And I totally agree on the black eyeliner, that would be hawt
Ugh, I worked today. How’s that for fun?! But I’m going to Sephora tomorrow for the first time in – gasp! – two whole weeks! Seriously, I think that’s the longest I’ve gone without visiting Sephora. Ever.

I have always wondered if the Clinique Full Potential Lip Plumps actually plumped. I have two of them from recent GWP’s but I don’t want to open them yet… I already have sooo many lip glosses opened & unused, I don’t want to waste mine (yet). It looks like it give you the perfect shine & sparkle though without being overly glossy. Sigh, now I’m going to open one of mine!

I can totally see this with cat eyeliner!! And watch Ugly truth, if only for amazingly hot Gerard Butler….
10. Beth said, on November 15th, 2009:

I knew this would happen the second I saw the pictures, I want all of this collection. The colours are the exactr type of thing I go for.

I think thats the most gorgeous shade of pink, so pretty and perfect for a casual night out.

Did you and Tabs decide on a movie? I had no idea he was such a little movie buff!

P.S – Don’t you find those toe-socks weird? I bought some but I didn’t like the feeling of something between my toes all the time.

I’ve seen the Ugly truth a few months ago and I was in a such a good mood after I love the creamy violet color, I think it may be an alternative to my pink lipgloss, to much pink is enough even for me:)

Thanks Karen for the response. No nig fun this weekend with the weather being horrible in the north east..:(
13. Jane said, on November 15th, 2009:

BTW , you tempted me to buy the UD show pony box…are the colors really wearable ? Can you do look based on that ?
14. Toni said, on November 15th, 2009:

Very pretty! Love the look on you! Is the Clinique gloss sticky? I love glosses, but most are really sticky. I did try the MAC Dazzleglass Cream gloss last night and it was a lot less sticky than my Baby Sparks Dazzleglass, but I’m still not in love with it. I might try the Cremesheen Glass next time I am at the MAC counter. I did return the Laura Mercier glosses from the Sephora F&F sale. So far, my cheap Jesse’s girl lipgloss is the best non-sticky gloss I have found.

I went to the mall for a little while last night and then came home and read books from the library, while hubby watched Bama play football. I love football, but they seem to do badly when I am in the room! LOL! So, I go in another room and read!

Pretty, you can’t go wrong with pink lipglosses. Hope you had a fun date with Tabs and your hubby.

Gorgeous color!

How was the movie?

Hi Marisol,

Eh, wait to watch The Box on DVD. It had many elements of good sci-fi but it didn’t quite get to where it needed to go.
