Nude Lip Gloss Guess turned Hit! Under $10

This New York weather and tons of to-do's for the month has left me under the weather. So, I find myself a bit forgetful with my horrendous cold, and I leave my make-up pouch at home as I leave for work. Also, I had to go to one of my good friend's birthday celebration, and I found myself lipgloss-less. This is not good for me. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'm sure some girls can relate.

I go with my pal (who happens to do ad design for Maybelline) Jess to a quick-stop pharmacy because even Sephora was closed at the time. So out of the array, I pick up Maybelline's Color Sensational lip gloss in 255 "A Touch of Toffee". I had to guess that this would be a color that is suitable with my likes of nudes WITHOUT trying it out on my hand. Guess what? It was a nice milky finish, and the color is a nice one alone or on top of a lipstick. It will add a pretty, slightly translucent finish. There's not much glitter in it. It's natural and flattering.

I found a nice substitution for under $10! Try it out, you will probably love it as much as I do.

Facebook changed You.

The Social Network

Whether you realize it or not, Facebook has changed the way we all interact. I know multitudes of people who adorn their pages in care with constant updates. There is so much to do with this outlet of expression that people rely on it heavily for expression, attention, and entertainment. We all take part of the frenzy in varying degrees, but it doesn't change the fact that it has changed you if you do utilize it. There are those who refuse to give in to the idea of sharing your "private life" with the world, but this excuse seems to diminish slowly as well. There are privacy options as you slowly ease out of your comfort level in sharing with others about your life and yourself which enable you to control what you share.

For those who have actively used Facebook over the years, do you recall how life was without it? Do you remember how you kept in touch with those that you rarely see? Were you able to share your daily complaints, revelations, and every thought that crossed your mind with the hundreds to even thousands of people you accumulated on your "Friends List"?

It's all a grand show. Immediate gratification. Instant access. Source of entertainment. Overload of information, pictures, and updates. Our lives and society are rapidly changing just like your News Feed, and you either choose to participate or not in it.

 I feel the huge phenomenon of the site has defined the years of the "Social Networking" era. The Social Network artfully caught our attention because whether you realize it or not, Facebook has become a part of your identity. Millions of you were captivated by this film because it told a story about something you may unknowingly have attachment to-- it's a part of your life. 

The Red Girls.

Classic. Sexy. Adventurous. Modern. Dressy.

Just paint it red, and you can call it a special occasion.

Trust me. Color on my lips used to scare me a year ago. Change is nice.

There's a shade of red for every girl.

Try it out. Once you're comfortable, just rock it!
