This looks beautiful on you! I check your blog every day to see if you have any new posts. Just wondering..who is the one that takes photos of you? Or do you just take by yourself? LOL 🙂
I’ve been into makeup and beauty for the past several years. Something about deciding how you want to feel that day and doing the makeup for it, just inspires me.
LOL, thanks…it’s taught me to improvise and multi-task, that’s for sure.
That’s one of the reasons why I love makeup, too. I also love how infinite it seems — like you try on any type of look an a given day. The sky’s the limit!
Karen, you tempted me. The idea had never even crossed my mind to wear purple lipstick, but this post won me over in seconds.
Strong Woman was sold out, but it seems they just got some more in stock. And I ordered one! It’s my first MAC lipstick (if you can believe it). Hopefully it works on my skin — I wear NC20-25.
WHAT EYE PRODUCTS ARE U WEARING .. LOOKS GREAT WITH THAT LIP COLOR. I JUST BOUGHT STILA NEW LIPBALM IN GEMMA AND ITS LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO MAC STRONG WOMEN.
OOoOo- This is super pretty. It looks awesome on you, too!
I hope someone gets it and decides it doesn’t suit them, puts it on Specktra for cheap and I can actually get it! lol!!
Sunny says
This one looks SO scary and bold in the tube, but on you it makes total sense!
Karen says
Aww, thanks! Have you tried this? I think you could pull it off.
Sunny says
Nope not yet! The collection isn’t here yet but I’ll try to check this out when it is!
Karen says
Cool! I hope you like it. 🙂
Erica Falco says
LOVE. The lipsticks in this collection are spot-on for me.
Karen says
Hi Erica,
Yeah… so bright! I love ’em. Have you tried Party Parrot?
Alice Ann says
I’m loving this color! I’m not a huge MAC fan, but sometimes they really just nail a lipstick,like Red Racer and Rebel. This one looks lovely.
Karen says
Hi Alice Ann,
It’s really cool. I love their strong shades, especially with cat liner.
Speaking of MAC brights, do you have Impassioned and Lady Danger? Both are must-haves.
Deborah E says
That is one serious photo of lipstick! Love the color, though. Not quite sure which outfit will go with it, but give me time and I’ll find out 😉
Karen says
Yeah, it’s real deal purple! 🙂

I take them by myself. I wish I had someone to be my photographer, LOL!
How long have you been a makeup fan, Eva?

Wow, you have some good talent! 😉

Solangel says
Omg I looove this. I wish I had a more practical use for purple lipsticks, I f-ing love them!
Karen says
LOL, you’re so cute! I feel the same way about some of the edgier colors in my collection too.
Sarah says
This is SEXY. I have never tried this shade.
