A new, sleek approach to makeup: Ellis Faas

I used to be such a tomboy when I was growing up. I have two brothers, and I am the only girl of the family. It's funny because I definitely was not the typical girl playing with just Barbie dolls. Instead, I would play with Barbie and Transformers or some other action figure my brothers had at the time. It may seem strange to those who grew up playing with Ken and Barbie, but I rejected Ken. He was just not masculine or cool enough for my Barbie dolls.

Now, I embrace the girly girl that is unabashed to look at different colors and unique attributes to all make-up lines thoroughly and passionately. So, why the little story on my childhood? I feel that it correlates to my attraction and slight obsession with Ellis Faas when I first stumbled upon it at Bergdorf Goodman. The aesthetic of the line is innovative and quite simply something fierce. The futuristic packaging create a feeling of hardcore chic with colors that are naturally found in the human body and are inspired by it. The packaging literally makes me feel like I can still be the bad ass tomboy whilst wearing perfectly glossed lips. I recommend the lightweight foundation and concealer which blend into your skin like your own skin itself. There are three choices of lip coverage and finish: milky, creamy, and glazed. I personally love the glazed collection.

Ellis Faas allows me to fulfill my monster inside me that obsesses over the perfect lipcolors and feel like a leather pants clad-motorcycle-riding-dirty-mouthed chic that can flip out her "lipgloss bullet" on an annoying Ken. Perfect! Just kidding.
