FACT: After all these years, our super mum has held on to the hospital baby tags which labelled us as "Twin #1" and "Twin #2" accordingly. I thought that was pretty sweet.
So as Twin #1, I have a kinda have a secret to share. I have become in a very short period of time, a complete lipstick junkie. I'm all for bold lips and I really mean it. If there's a new shade of red that I don't already own, then I most definitely need to get my grubby hands onto it! And in my opinion, every day can be a bold lip day - you don't necessarily need to wait for some big occasion to rock it.
This shouldn't really come as a surprise to anybody seeing as my mum has her own lipstick collection of approximately 50+ lipsticks! Oh and I should mention my mum used to be a Mary Kay/ Avon fan. I believe our first encounter with makeup products was from her own collection of beauty goods.
I haven't always been a lipstick kinda person. I in fact, was more of a blush person. I'd load up on the pink blush (cringe) and would only use lip balms and glosses on the lips. Boy has my makeup look changed! I now like to go extremely light/neutral on the cheeks and rock a bold lip as the main feature of my makeup look. I should also add that I'm not the type to discriminate on lipstick colours. I love my reds, pinks, plums and in more recent times, orange!
My lipstick obsession started off with my first red lipstick purchase in the shade "Russian Red" by MAC cosmetics. I remember going to the makeup counter and telling the assistant I just wanted a bold red and she said that blue-reds were in and all over the runways. "Blue-red" - HUH?! This was a term I was not so familiar with but I went with it anyway. Heck, I didn't even swatch the lipstick tester in store before I purchased it (something I usually always do). However, that moment piqued my interest in lipsticks and I have never looked back since. I constantly find myself drawn to the lipstick sections and I can spend countless hours googling swatches of lipsticks making mental notes of which lipstick shades to buy next.
I will be doing a post soon with all my favourite lipstick swatches and in-depth reviews so be sure to watch this space! Oh and don't forget, everyday can be a bold lip day!
Love, Twin #1 x
