Speaking of red lips… I really wanted to make a wearable red out of one of my favourite red lipsticks, Annabelle‘s “Adrenaline” Rouge Velours. Something a little more sheer, a little more “fresh,” and a little more muted.


The catch: I am a lazy ass. (Yah, we don’t beat around the bush on theNotice.)


But it’s alright! Why? The answer is simple — lip products can be mixed, something that I definitely encourage. And we’re not just talking about mixing up your gloss/lipstick combinations — oh no. I’m talking about literally mushing ’em together in a little jar.


You know… something like this:

Used: Annabelle Adrenaline (lipstick,) Annabelle Chococholic (gloss stick,) and CoverGirl Happy Hour (gloss).
(Holy man is that CoverGirl review ever old! I’m so glad we figured out the whole photo-taking thing eventually.)


Anyhow. I realize that you would probably kill me if I didn’t share some swatches, so…
