Lip Smacker Challenge

August 17, 2007

Boutique Cafe’s Fashion Forward Friday Challenge last week was to pucker up and share a post on our own blogs about our fave lipsticks. If we were brave enough to share a shot of our lips Amelia encouraged us all to do! So here’s my pic Amelia – smoochy smoochy!

I love lip products: My fave color right now is MAC satin lipstick in “CAPTIVE”, I also line my lips with MAC lip liner in “pink treat” – then I use an amazing gloss/plumper by Dermaglow in pink to top it all off.

I took the little online quiz that Megan had shared on Boutique Cafe and discovered that my lipstick habits share alot about me:

Sharp-angled but curved tip

Creative
Enthusiastic
Energetic
Talkative
Loves attention
Falls in love easily
Helpful
Needs schedule, but dislikes one :) – I know Megan will laugh at that one!

Our new Challenge on Boutique Cafe this week is to share a picture of your favorite hat or scarf. It’s all about Sun protection for those gorgeous locks of hair. So I’m off to find a hat or scarf that I can’t live without. Thanks Amelia! I love your challenges each week on BC, they are so much fun.

The most recent Challenge from Amelia on Boutique Cafe’s Fashion Forward Friday is to share your favorite up do with your hair. Now admittedly, I don’t typically pull all my hair up, I find I like the look of longer hair on me so I rarely pull it up. I’ll do the occasional pony tail but I’m not super creative. However, I often clip the front of my hair back in a cute barrette or clippy. Here’s the evidence on our recent vacation, taken on the side of the highway in Montana when the kids needed a stretch break.

The second part of her weekly challenge was to show off an adorable hair accessory from Etsy.com. I found these darling bobby pins that might just have to be mine.

They are crafted using vintage buttons and I love the red and blue colors with vintage japanese flower pieces. click here to view the listing >> the seller is sakurakittycreatives.
