So it turns out I have a lot of lipsticks, a hella lot of lipsticks. Over 150 and considering I rarely wear make up this makes it a bit odd! I don't know if it goes back to my school days where I was really badly bullied for having big lips. I used to get called ' joob joobs'. This later effected my embarrassment about how my mouth moved when I ate or sang. I used to be in a band in middle school this was my only place to escape how utterly shit my home life. This was until I made the brainiac decision to get married at the age of 16 but that's another story.
My joob joobs made me really insecure, and I think when I buy lots of lipsticks it's me owning how big my lips are and knowing that I can dress them up if and when the mood takes me. I have a good mixture of Mac, Lancome, Like Crime, Melt and various other high street brands. Every month I treat myself to a payday lipstick, it's my thing and its a lot cheaper than when I tried to implement the same system with Black Milk.
I am an amateur model so I do shoots I try to do one per week, sometimes more, sometimes less. I am currently on a bit of a weight loss kick so I am trying to throw myself into that at the moment.
The idea of this blog is to actually get out there, force myself to use my lipstick collection and maybe the reviewing aspect will help me to make better lipstick purchase decisions in the future.
Thanks for reading my intro blog!
