Yves Saint Laurent Glossy Stain #12

2 Comments

I was never a lip-girl until I tried the YSL glossy stains, and that’s not because they were sent to me for free to review. It’s just that they’re so low maintenance, such great pigmentation and it doesn’t dry out my lips. Plus, I’m a lip-licker and lip rubber-together-er. This stuff just does not come off. For hours!

I was sent another Yves Saint Laurent glossy stain, this time in the color #12 Corail Fauve. I’m assume french, for something to do with coral. When I opened the box, I thought I would love the color right away. A perfect coral lip for summer, it’d look great with a tan — don’t you think?

Unfortunately, this color didn’t stand out as much to me as the first one did. When I applied it on my lips I just didn’t like the starkness of the almost red lip. I just don’t think I’m a reddish toned lip type of person. I think pink toned ones definitely look younger, and more lively on me.

That doesn’t mean to say I wouldn’t go out and spend the money on these Glossy Stains, because I certainly would. You have a wide variety with 20 colors to choose from — there are a ton of really great pink one’s for me to scope out next. Besides my favorite #15, I think I’d love to try out the #19 which is a nice nude/pink shade. Unless of course it conceals out your lips altogether, but from the other swatches I googled online, it looks to be a pretty nice color. Actually scratch that, all of the colors from #16-#19 are all within the pink tones and I want them all.

As for how it feels on the lips, it’s not sticky whatsoever, my hair doesn’t get caught in it on a windy day. Whenever I do wear it I can’t stop rubbing my lips together because they feel so buttery. Almost the same consistency as my Korres Lip Butters. Like a lip balm feel to it.

Have you tried out the Glossy Stains yet by YSL? I swear, you better be ready to have a life changing experience with makeup. Like I said, I’ve never been a lip girl til now. I feel awesome wearing it!

Am I shy?

3 Comments

My coworkers were having a debate in the lunch room the other day deciding whether or not I’m a shy person. I found it funny to be honest.  Because I know I’m shy when I meet someone for the first time, and they didn’t believe me when I stated it for myself. One of the women who was on “my side” (lol) said that I’m loud, not quiet. But I am shy. (See, told you!)

One of them even stated that I only pretend to be shy. I think it’s because she only knows me to be comfortable around her thus, me not being shy. But if I’m introduced to someone new, I become a little bit of an introvert. Why? Because I don’t want to be judged. I don’t want people to look at me funny, or make fun of me. That’s a huge pet peeve of mine. Unless of course, I’m comfortable around you. Make fun of me all you want then.

I want to be comfortable around someone enough to dance silly (like super “omg you did not just do that” silly), or act silly. I’m super outgoing when I’m comfortable around you. But if you persist it’ll backfire and I turn into this weird awkward person lol. It’s because I want everyone to like me, so I don’t get all weird, loud and hyper when I’m out with someone new. My Mom reads my blog and I’m going to get a little mushy here for a minute, but I wish I had her personality when it comes to meeting or speaking to people. She can carry on a conversation no problem with a stranger. I wish I could keep the convo going, but I get awkward and weird. I think I have my Dad’s personality when it comes to the shyness. He’s a little quirky like me ;)

Are you outgoing when you first meet people? Or are you more reserved?

My CrossFit Journal (Year 1, Week 5)

No Comments

I’m in a rut, and I need to get out of it. Once a week at CrossFit isn’t cutting it. Need to amp it up.

 ______________________________________________

week 5 day one

This was the first WOD I did this week. I’ve decided to show you a video of it, Scott from Your Inner Skinny posted it and I loved it so I decided to share it with you all. Cool huh?

Except I did 45lbs not 100lbs. I got to 12 “thrusters” and about to do 12 kips. But only got to 8… in the seven minute allocated time.

AMRAP 7

Basically do as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of the following:
3 Thruster; 100/65lb
3 Chest to bar Pull-ups
6 Thruster; 100/65lb
6 Chest to bar Pull-ups
9 Thruster; 100/65lb
9 Chest to bar Pull-ups
12 Thruster; 100/65lb
12 Chest to bar Pull-ups
15 Thruster; 100/65lb
15 Chest to bar Pull-ups

Again. I used 45lbs not 65lbs for the Rx’ed womens.
