could you excuse me while i put on my Lipstick?

i think I've got a new fave quote...

"Everything's fine, just put on a little lipstick!"

seriously that totally sums up my fake it 'til you make it attitude toward life .

I've kinda always done that. or tried to anyway.

which reminds me of one time at bunko....(ya know like one time at band camp...hee hee )

a few months ago it was my turn to hostess bunko at my hovel.

I was frantically scrambling to get ready.

when a friend walked in , looked at me and said, " I don't think I've EVER seen you without your lipstick on! it's just not you without it, go put it on."

it's kinda true. I am just not "ME" without my lipstick.

I confess...Lipstick and sunglasses pretty much carries my whole glam persona.

i believe that if you have on big sunglasses and your lipstick, you look like you've put some measure of effort into getting ready, even when you haven't! (the facade is even better if you have earrings on too.)

see like in this picture here.

can you tell i have no other makeup on? 'cuz i didn't have any on.

if you haven't done it, try it.

see how it works for you!

it's perfect for dropping kids off at school driving through places for beverages, going to the bank drive thru, going to swim lessons. driving people to scouts or going to daytime kids sporting events.

but i should warn you, as wonderful as it is, that trick comes back to bite me on occasion , because once i go in somewhere that i have to take off my sunglasses, then everyone knows by the dark circles under my eyes that i didn't do anything but roll outta bed, and put on lipstick and sunglasses.

i confess i often just keep my sunglasses on. like when i go in to purchase beverages at the convenience store i admit it's kinda dorky on my part, but whatever.

still, try it.

if you love to fake being FAB (with lipstick and sunglasses) too, leave your testimony of it in the comments.

Now I'll leave you with this fabulous quote i saw (on a mug once) -

There's nothing you can't do

without confidence,

good friends

and the perfect lipstick color!

that quote is absolutely perfect for me.

i want it in vinyl, or framed or something. i've been meaning to digiscrap it but that takes gumption which i sadly lack. maybe someday.

SO.....i'm dying to know......

What's your signature lipstick color?

do you have one or do you switch around?

(my signature color? Pink Chocolate by Clinique)

are you one of those people that doesn't believe in lipstick? why is that?

Guys? are any reading this? what do you think of women in lipstick? care to state your preference?
