~Oh No She Didn't!!!...But She Really Did~

International FYIs About The Color Blue:

*In Mexico, blue is the color of mourning.
*Blue, blue-green, and green are sacred colors in Iran, where they symbolize paradise.
*In Aztec culture, blue symbolized sacrifice.
*In Greece, the color blue is believed to ward off "the evil eye." Those who believe in this Greek superstition often wear a blue charm necklace or blue bracelet for protection.
*In India, paintings of the god Krishna often depict him as having blue skin.

It's been awhile since I've mentioned/featured Mz.Amber Rose, although I make no secret of the fact that I adore and admire her unique style. Yep. I like her. Get over it.

Mz.Rose has kept a pretty low profile lately. A pic or two of her and her male companion/accessory Kanye pop up now and then but for the most part she has been under the fashion radar lately. Until last night. Last night Amber lit up Atlanta (sans Ye) sporting an "electric blue" shade of lipstick that had her all over the internet this morning.

I know what you think I'm gonna say....that I "love love loved it"...right? Sort of. What I actually love, love, loved is that she wore it. However....
IF SHE WAS MY CLIENT... I would have suggested a much more flattering shade of blue for her hair color and skin-tone...such as:
Limecrime's (yes, my favorite:) "Oh No She Didn't"


I feel that Amber could really do this unique lipstick justice and vice versa. I also see it as a much better shade of blue for her complexion/hair color...

P.S Peep the FAB tat on Raquel Reed's leg in the pic above...love love love it.

I would like to thank the AMAZING

Ok ladies, how many times have you ordered a lipstick online only to receive it and find out it looks NOTHING like the color swatch the website provided. I literally stopped purchasing cosmetics online because of too many "lipgloss and letdown" incidents. Or have you ever seen a promo photo of a new collection...wait anxiously for the launch...get to the counter and find out that phenomenal shade barely shows up on your lips? MAC is famous for that...sorry, but it's true.

Websites like
Temptalia have made it somewhat easier with their "color wiped on hand" swatch photos, actually I have relied on Temptalia alot for getting an idea of what a color will look like in person. The only problem with that is wrist/arm skin is not lip skin. Meaning, the color is still going to look different that it appears. So what's a girl to do? Glad you asked...

BeautySwatch.com might be the BEST site I have found this year and will definitely go into my list of all-time favorite cosmetic websites. Basically, it is a "Lipstick Library". Filled with pictures, clear pictures, of lipstick on actual LIPS. The site is a lipstick nirvana. Lipsticks are broken down into categories/shades. They also have great posts like "The 5 Universally Flattering Shades" and "Lip Interviews" with beauty bloggers who provide the photos. Trust me...you need this site before you purchase any lipstick!! And if you want to add to their library you can upload swatches of lipstick and nail polish also.
