chocolate laced








What I'm Wearing
Earrings: (gift from mom) | Necklace: Wet Seal
Fur Lapel: H&M ($17)
Denim Top: H&M ($5)
Jeggings: H&M ($5)

Chocolate Laced took a slight day off. As much as I'd love to be maxed out glamourous every day, I need rest sometimes, too!

Another short picture post. I actually took these myself right outside my room. If you look closely, you can see the remote in my hand. I had no pockets to hide it in. Hehe.

So, I am extremely excited to say that I've FINALLY found an appropriate brown lipstick for my complexion and for the size of my lips. I have very full lips and the browns I had ALWAYS made me look like I just stepped out of having collagen fills. Terrible. Just terrible. So, in order to avoid this, I just quit wearing brown lipstick. That is, until I found this: Cover Girl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Enamor (Color 250). CVS was having a sale (50% off) and I had no idea how it would look, but I decided to take the risk. And BOY was it worth it! It's name holds true! (I WILL be buying this in every recommended color. Cover Girl has an online ColorMatch quiz that sets you up with the best shades depending on your features! Take the quiz!)

Now my lips can be Chocolate Laced, too!! ;) Two posts in a row about my lips. What can I say?! I love 'em!

What do you wear on your off days?

What I'm Wearing
Peach Scarf: XSRE ($14)
Fur Lapel: H&M ($17)
Necklace: Charming Charlie | Earrings & Bracelets: CR
Cream Blazer: thrifted ($3)
Floral Denim Blouse: thrifted ($3)
Cream Belt: Wet Seal | Cream Socks: Forever 21
Magenta Pants: Forever 21
Brown Riding Boots: Matisse Footwear (my sister's closet)

The magenta of my pants inspired me to address my lips and, thus, dress my lips! I've been building my collection of lip colors and the fact that I was able to match the pants perfectly made me happy. And look how such a little touch adds so much!

I'm using a mixture of Revlon's Just Bitten Lipstain (Crave) and Just Bitten Kisssable Balm Stain (Lovesick). It turns out the the lipstain covers more surface area (I have some big ole lips!) and the balm stain give a more saturated color. I want them every suitable color! (I currently have four of each!)

I hope this inspires you to dress your lips to complete an outfit in the future. Imagine how red lips stand out with a black and white outfit or how nude lips can allow an outfit to really shine on its own! Play around with it! Find colors you love that compliment you and have fun with it!

My friend Jasmine took these photos for me and I try to have fun while I shoot, but it was so cold out! Jeez. I was glad when we finished in less than 15 minutes!
