100% Natural

BareMinerals lipglosses. Seriously, this brand/type is what made me fall in love with color on my lips and thus pushed me to begin embracing my femininity. I have been a tomboy since day one having grown up playing with the boys, most of all my friends are guys, and being raised in a family of just all guys. I only have one girl cousin and right now she's 13. I'm 22, too late now haha. (Tried the other lip plumping kind, but it left my lips tingly and weird. I didn't know how I felt about it) I love the way it feels, for it doesn't feel like normal glosses. I don't know if it's because it's 100% natural or whatever, but it makes my lips feel moisturized and so fantastic. And it doesn't hurt that it enhances any face if you choose not to wear make up on a day.

I first purchased cassis, of which I used ferociously like chapstick. ;) (Believe me, if I was stranded on a desert island, chapstick would be the first thing on my list. It's true, I have answered it just so when I asked by friends in the past)
Sadly it has now become quite arduous and very tasking to get a decent amount to cover my lips. It began to run out after a month of tons of use. I love this color, it's neutral, clean, and fresh with a hint of sparkle for either daytime work or nighttime play. Or just anytime for the matter. A perfect starting color to test the waters of this new girly side of me.

Two weeks ago, I went lipcolor hunting in lieu of compensating for my favorite lipgloss withdrawal. Desperate to find a replacement or buy the same color.
I came across pomegranate (by this time I guess I had tapped into my inner feminine side, which to be honest is kind of odd and frightening, I don't know how I feel about this sudden change but it's interesting at the same time, and was experimenting with light pinks, berries, and reds. You can totally tell by last months entries about lipsticks, ie; pretty in pink, and good feelings.), which is also clean and fresh with a hint of sparkle (the sparkle which I love), but this time it is more of a light and seriously pomegranate color, they don't mess around haha, that leaves my lips looking totally kissable. It's not too heavy a color to contrast badly against my very fair skin, which believe me anything heavy often looks bad. I have more of a natural look.
And to be honest, I loved it. (I love it)
I bought it instead of a cassis replacement and truth be told, if it wasn't for the whole sticky wind hair issue and the whole opened door of lipcolor indulgence discovery (seriously it's like an addiction once started, no lie), everyday would be its purpose.

I hadn't worn pomegranate in a long time since I was busy playing with my lipstains. Today was my first time wearing it in a while.
I am completely reminded of my original lippy love. Holla. (:
