Over the weekend I started a deep intensive search in my makeup archives for Nars Exhibit A blush – it was just like the cosmetics version of American Pickers, but in my closet. And did I ever come across some great picks! Along the way I encountered several old school, super pigmented MAC Blushes and Clinique’s Color Surge Butter Shine Lipstick in Rum Kiss, which was the prize of the pick. It’s so smooth and creamy! As much as I love Revlon’s Lip Butters (and I do), this lippie feels a lot smoother – I’m in re-love.

Oh I love this so much. I would never think of buying gray liner– and yet I have three electric blue shadows…
Thank you, ladies. Grey is definitely the new black.
