good things come to those who wait

i've mentioned before that i am completely obsessed with chuck's makeup from pushing daisies on ABC. i spent a night researching it online (don't judge), but couldn't any info and then i got frustrated and gave up. i didnt even intend to pick up the search, but like kismet, the search found me because i was in sephora one day and there was the color that was chuck-ish.

i might have heard a choir of angels singing behind me.

so while not searching, i found it (i just know that has to mean something in my real life) and let me tell you, it was quite a relief because i NEEDED it!

it's such a pretty, coral-y color and just so fresh and right for spring. it's from stila and it's high shine lip color in michaela. and while i don't normally like stila's packaging, the etched floral pattern on the tube is really, really cute!

we should all be more cheeky!

i love that whole i've been skiing out in the great outdoors and drinking hot toddies in the chalet look. it's so rosy and pretty and healthy looking. the fact is, the only time i really spend outdoors is when i am running to starbucks. so creating that pretty flush takes work. one of my favorite tools is Stila's convertible color--i have 3, i love them so much (fuchsia, poppy and peony). the fuchsia and poppy are perfect for this--just layer and blend with a cotton ball. the peony is a nice neutral. then i just put some pretty powder blush over it to keep it in place. you're supposed to be able to use this on your lips, but it's not great on the lips. in a pinch, it's fine, but this is so great on the cheeks, it really doesn't matter. plus, it lasts forever.
