wearing MAC Hey, Sailor! Lipstick in Sail La Vie

They (meaning Tabs and El Hub) call me “Mrs. Fickle Lips” for a reason. لماذا ا؟ because “Mrs. never leaves the house Without a minimum of five Tubes of Lipstick in Her Purse” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I don’t mind the moniker at all. In fact, I love it! and now I can secure my rep with the new MAC Hey, Sailor! Lipsticks ($15.50 each). The four limited edition shades suit both my bright and neutral makeup moods and give me even a lot more reason to tote multiple tubes of lipstick around with me during the day.

Hey, it never hurts to be prepared.

Say I’m at Petco getting a fresh cat lawn plant for Tabs (it’s for medicinal use) and the urge to don a rich, red lipstick strikes. I know I can turn to Red Racer, an intensely pigmented bright yellowish red with a satin finish.

Then, if my phone rings while I’m in the gravy aisle contemplating whether to get Tabs fish or turkey, and it’s Ryan Gosling’s people calling with a last-minute invite to Cannes, I’d love to have frosted tan To catch a Sailor ready to bring with me on the G6.

Don’t get me wrong, Sail La Vie, a bright mid-tone orange with a satin finish, sure makes a great impression, but if there’s any turbulence on the flight, a low-maintenance neutral would probably be much easier to apply…

I’d save Sail La Vie to wear on the red carpet with Ryan, maybe with a cat eyeliner retro/vintage/Mad men makeup look, because it’s true what they say, you know. You can never go wrong with the classics.

Of course, I could change my mind at the last minute and select a smokey eye instead, and if that happens, there’s always Salute!, the neutral peach with an amplified finish.

Really, it boils down to options. A girl’s gotta have ’em.

MAC didn’t shy away from pigment with these lippies; all four apply with full opacity, and I only need a single layer

Red Racer, Sail La Vie and Salute! must easily transition into fall

At first I thought Salute! would look a little too much like concealer lips on me, but a touch of peach adds warmth and life to this incredibly smooth shade

If you flip for neutrals, try pairing To catch a Sailor with Jaunty Eyeshadow (I think they’re stunning together!)

Eclipsed!

I finally looked through the pics I took during Sunday afternoon’s solar eclipse. I was intending to have gotten some clear shots of the “Ring of Fire” effect around the sun, but I guess either the effect wasn’t readily visible in my neck of the woods, my timing was off, or I wasn’t using the ideal lens or cam settings (probably the later).

I did manage to get this shot, though, of an eclipse shaped lens flare…
