Valentine’s Day 💖 is here, so this is a purr-fect time to celebrate that most sanguine of seductresses — scarlet! The Ravenous for Red Lipstick series features the crimsons I’m currently cuckoo for.
Happy Valentine’s Day, babe! I hope that you and Ryan Gosling are having a lovely celebration of your eternal commitment to each other.
Ya know, I’ve been told I have a spicy 🌶️ personality, but when it comes to hot and spicy food, my heat 🔥 tolerance level is negative 10. The spice must flow…but not into my food, thanks.
I do love a a hot red lipstick, though, like BECCA Hot Tamale! It’s the same color as a ghost pepper (or, in my case, a sweet red bell pepper).
Just so you know, this lipstick does not taste like a hot tamale.
- Who would like it? Anyone who can work reds with orange undertones and own that ish like they invented it, OK?
- What’s it similar to? MAC Lady Danger, but with a semi-matte finish instead of a matte one — so, more like a MAC Amplified lipstick finish (I’d call them sorority sisters).
- What else should you know? It’s $24 and available at the usual BECCA haunts, including Ulta and Sephora. It has a 4-hour wear time, too, and moves me to song (specifically D’Angelo) because it tastes and smells like brown sugar, babe.
I gets high off your love, I don’t know how to behave.
Are you doing anything for Valentine’s Day, by the way? I’ve got a cold (SURPRISE), so we’re gonna do a family Valentine’s Day with take-out tonight.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

February 14th, 2019 at 2:27 pmYou’re rocking both of these reds!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Saw on the news that there’s a levee breach in your town and that the CHP might close 37. Hope you’re further away and dry. I know we need the rain, but I’m kinda wishing for a little sunshine for a few days.
Karen says
February 14th, 2019 at 2:41 pmHappy Valentine’s Day to you, friend!
We’ve a ways from the breach so we’re OK; the biggest thing happening in our neighborhood are a bunch of big branches falling off trees.
What are you and the hubs doing for Valentine’s Day?

February 14th, 2019 at 5:08 pmI heard there was a house that came down the hill in a mudslide in Sausalito. So awful.
We went out to dinner this past Sunday. Just the two of us. It was nice. He’s leaving for Asia in the morning. ☹️
Karen says
February 14th, 2019 at 8:36 pmAww, but he’ll be back soon! Is he still with the same company?
Where did you guys go to dinner?
Tatiana says
February 14th, 2019 at 10:42 pmHe’ll be back in 11 days. I hate that I’m losing two weekends with him. This will make it 5 weekends since the new year that he’s been gone. Still finishing his commitments to the Japanese company he was working for, while he’s been doing a new job in The City. He gets up at 6 and out the door by 6:45 to catch the train and then he usually gets home exhausted at 7ish.
We went to The Village Pub in Woodside for dinner. It’s my favorite place for a celebration.

February 14th, 2019 at 5:25 pmThis is my kind of red 😍 I love the orangey reds.
Happy Valentine’s Day! Sorry you’re not feeling well. I worked and then worked out with my trainer and my husband. Oh and I got an oil change 😹
