lipstick queen's big bang theory - illusion gloss

2009-03-13T07:18:00.001-07:00

Along with the crazy March weather we've been having, it's also been ridiculously windy.Add that to the fact that I also wear gloss on my lips and it's a recipe for sticky disaster. My hair right now is about chin length, which is just long enough to blow around and get caught up in the gloss on my pucker.Not good.I pretty much spend the time pulling hair out of my mouth and/or trying to hide

I was on twitter (my new obsession) when I noticed that Demi Moore (a.k.a. MrsKutcher) is on too. Naturally, I opted to "follow" her and the coolest thing is that she actually updates her account constantly... herself! It makes you feel like you're a great friend, texting with your great friend to see how her day is going. It's such an awesome form of (faux) communication!Anyway, she's been

The consistency is perfect - never gooey but definitely shiny - and full of natural color.The lip glaze was part of the Stila Backstage with Lela Rose kit and it's meant to give lips that "just-ate-a-basket-of-berries"

We gals here at Beauty in Real Life like to laugh....a lot. What helps with that? A nice shiny, pearly white smile.I have to admit that I have tried some "at home whitening strips" before and I couldn't last more than a couple days before I gave up.First, I gagged....a lot. And second, I couldn't get the darn things to stay in place long enough and I definitely couldn't wear them (top and bottom)
