Lips like Marilyn’s Are One Swipe Away: Pigment Abounds in the new MAC Marilyn Monroe Lipsticks
using the new MAC Marilyn Monroe collection lipstick in Scarlet Ibis
Some state that diamonds are a girl’s finest friend.
My chapped lips as well as I have to politely disagree. I mean, sure, diamonds have some awesome things going for ’em. They’re all sparkly, as well as allegedly you can utilize them to cut mirrors as well as glass (I’ve always wished to try that!), however what great are sparkly, shiny baubles when your lips are all flaky as well as you want to wear a bright orangey red lipstick like the new matte Scarlet Ibis or a frosty nude like Pure Zen ($16.50 each; both part of the MAC Marilyn Monroe collection)?

I’ve been so jazzed about these colors as well as their three siblings considering that I got wind of the MAC Marilyn Monroe collection earlier this year. I pictured re-creating MM’s signature sultry lips while happily stepping over a train vent as well as having my skirt fly up for the whole world to see my Spanx…
Okay, perhaps not. however I’d still like hot makeup like Marilyn’s, as well as it’s much easier to get with these lipsticks. Both lay down tons of opaque, solid color, as well as a single swipe takes me from lowly pet assistant to polished screen siren.
Or thereabouts.

If your lips are already in fantastic shape, apply either shade, as well as you’ll be prepared for your closeup in seconds.
But for my fellow gals with chapped, dry lips, you may want to prep your lips very first with a rich, moisturizing balm, as both of these colors are so intense that they seek out every small flake, fracture as well as vertical lip line.
What else can you tell me about the Marilyn lipsticks?
Creamy Pure Zen lasts from 2-3 hours on me, while Scarlet Ibis, with its matte finish, lasts from 5-6
They have MAC’s signature light vanilla flavor as well as scent
Grab your lip liner as well as brush, since these are so opaque that I haven’t gotten fantastic results applying them directly from their tubes
Like the other pieces in the MAC Marilyn Monroe collection, Scarlet Ibis as well as Pure Zen are all decked out in restricted edition packaging, so you can admire Marilyn’s saucy style while you play up your pout.
I truly like these traditional colors as well as like the packaging…but I do desire these lippies were a bit a lot more forgiving.
PRICE: $16.50 each
AVAILABILITY: Coming October 4 to MAC counters as well as stores (they’re currently offered online, however as of tonight, 10/1/2012, all of them are offered out!)

When in doubt, add kittens!
If I were a drag queen, I’d be sweating shine ideal now. That’s exactly how hot it is right here in Novato tonight.
It’s hot, hot, hot! We’re having one of our popular early autumn warm waves right here in the Bay Area, as well as the only thing keeping my mind off the warm is animal Planet’s online action kitten cam (thanks, Alexandra!). I’ve been inspecting in with the kitties, who online at the Washington animal Rescue Lounge, every couple hours throughout the day.
I’m especially fond of the tortie since she reminds me of a hotel kitty named Tortie woman I satisfied on Kauai.

Other than broiling in my chair, I’m doing just fine. I hope your week got off to a great start.
