Mascara & Lip Gloss Swap!

 Tara, Holly, & Meg are hosting an awesome  Mascara & Lipgloss Swap.  I jumped on this (even though I knew this post would happen the day after returning from BlogHer12 = mucho tired Vicki), because I love discovering new makeup and meeting new bloggers.
My partner, Katie, aka @TheNerdyKatie on twitter,

sent me a wonderful box of goodies from Ulta!

not pictured: another awesome lipstick in Chili-Pepper color! (I’m almost certain it’s buried somewhere in the depths of my unpacked luggage from BlogHer…)

I’ve been dying to find the “right red” lipstick to complement my pale skin tones and blonde locks.  Katie hit the nail on the head! I totally love this Ulta lip color in Red Carpet Red.

I  feel like a grown woman when I don red lips.  It also makes me feel a little like my mom, whose lips always shine with that perfect pop of red.

That being said, I tried it out at CheeseburgHer:

Everything but the bag on my head totally screams “grownup” — right?

Thanks, Katie, for the awesome swap!!

    LOL! I love that pic. And yes, everything but the bag screams ‘grown up’ – espesh the lips. So jealous. There is no red I can pull off.

      There are so many great pics from BlogHer12 – and most of them with RED LIPS. I’m in love. My nude lip color trend is now null & void.

    I might be biased but I love me some Katie (okay, she’s my BFF and I’ve known her for 15 years). Glad you liked what she sent! Love the red lips!!
