I've never worn lipstick before because I don't think I have the face for it. I kind of have a androgynous baby face sometimes so thought it would be ridiculous if I tried to pull off a red lip. Plus I am not one of those girls who own massive makeup collections so I didn't think I could incorporate a lip color into my daily look (my only look, really).

But I was home alone today, and my roommate actually bought her first lipstick recently so I decided to sneak into her room and try some for fun.

That photo above looks odd because I am not wearing any contact lenses, huh? It's funny how used I have gotten to seeing myself with these huge eyes. I wear them every day! But recently I ran out of lenses and haven't had enough money to buy a new pair until a few days ago (WHERE ARE THEY?! I hate waiting for things to arrive in the mail...)

I know websites always say the lenses are good for one year, but I am paranoid and I usually throw them out after 2 months maximum. I just don't believe that they can stay sterile and clean for that long especially since regular lenses from my eye doctor are recommended to be thrown out every 2-4 weeks of wear. I have heard horror stories from girls who get eye infections from not keeping their circle lenses fresh. My eyesight is pretty important to me, don't know about other people... 

Anyway, the color is Stila's Long Wear Liquid Lip Color in Fiery. It was amazing, actually, if you are looking for a classic red lip. Super creamy opaque color that dries matte. Not sticky and it's very lightweight. According to my roommate, once it dries, it's almost impossible to get it off without makeup remover. You can wear it the whole day and just put lip balm over it if you feel your lips are getting too dry.

When I first put it on, I was staring at myself in the mirror thinking that I looked like some harlot. But after a while, I think I could get used to it! Just not today. I already scrubbed it off my face since I have to go out and see Mikey and a friend later... not sure if they're ready for this side of me HAHA.
