I maybe didn't sell my soul to the devil after all! hahaha. No, what I really ought to be saying is that a sponsored post from you has real value as you don't run with these all the time. I've not heard of the brand, but suffer with migrating lipstick all the time and therefore it's definitely worth a try. You have a fragile beauty Melanie that wows me especially when you show photos like these. #girlcrush<br /><br />Anna xAnna's Island Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997013627919505807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-23441210460477547362017-10-21T12:46:53.729-07:002017-10-21T12:46:53.729-07:00HAhaha, yes, it is.

Hahaha!!! But really, what's the point if I can't write the way I always do? I suspect primers should stop that disappearing act. <br />I'm learning how to "do" events without freaking out and feeling wretched when I get home.

Does this happen even with mattes, the concrete of lipsticks? Maybe Tricia Cusden could tell you something... <br />About the confidence, yes, they must be because I was super worried when the lipstick went on so smoothly over the primer. Maybe a primer sealant under your lipstick would work. I chalk up all unknowns to "getting older thing."

One thing I struggle with, is less the wandering lip thing and more a colour shift. I've always been prone to it - but it has got much worse with age. I start off with a nice cool toned lip product and it quickly develops warmth-to-outright-ginger tones. I'm looking for a blue toned red - but I end up with something copper-y. I wonder if this is just getting older thing?Elaine Monkeypaintshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590488884207470166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859347726001714274.post-44484886662425443252017-10-14T10:24:30.392-07:002017-10-14T10:24:30.392-07:00I'm loving the photo captioned, "and the...I'm loving the photo captioned, "and there you have it" You are so lovely!<br />You are also trustworthy; that's huge!<br />I will check out the brand.
