Lipsticks. One of these days I have to show you all my stash.  Lipstick is probably my favorite cosmetic.  Before I used skincare with any frequency or foundation I wore lipstick and mascara.

My philosophy is, a girl can’t have too many lip products!  As I’m always on the prowl for new beauty stuff, I came across Thevi.  Thevi is a new line created to show up on diverse skintones.  The line gets it’s name from creator Thevaki Thambirajah.  As a young professional, Thevaki couldn’t find cosmetics that would show up on her skin, so she decided to take matters into her own hands and make her own! 

The result is a prestige brand of cosmetics in shades to suit many different skin tones.  The product containment is, simply put, beautiful.  A reflection of the care and quality of Thevi cosmetics. 

I’ve been using Sequin which is a bronzy color, it’s gorgeous, I feel all grown up whenever I wear it.  It’s a neutral shade but oh so full of color and pizaaz, it’s not a boring neutral, it’s great to wear out and about.  An attention grabber… with so many women wearing pink and sheer gloss, bronze is that something special that everyone asks about.

High Impact Lipstick is for women who want to get noticed, like attention and know how to get it!  Check out all Thevi’s beautiful lip colors and cosmetics.

NARS Cosmetics challenges you with their trademarked slogan and book.

Makeup Your Mind by François Nars is the legendary makeup guru’s directive to women on how to wear makeup, giving them the tools to experiment with cosmetics and showing them how to enhance natural beauty to express their personal style. A pure makeup (rather than make-over) book, Makeup Your Mind™ consists of 63 before and after photographs of models from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds and with faces that range from the classically beautiful to unique faces full of character.

I need to tote that book to the beach with me for some serious absorption into my psyche.  It seems so easy, just make up your mind, but what do you want?!  I can’t read your mind for you, but right now I’m loving a little pot of Lip Lacquer.  The shade is Vagabond and it’s a saucy brown color.  I’m not crazy about cosmetics that aren’t self sufficient but in this case it’s worth it.  I DO recommend a lip brush for application so you don’t get your fingers all gunky.  You’ve got to check out some of the other lip lacquers, loving the Hot Pink, Capucine and Baby Doll.
