Today is a special day. Today, two of my best friends and I are going to see LADY GAGA!!! Excitement is out of this world. Because we are seeing Gaga tonight, we went shopping last Saturday and I had the intent of purchasing one new bottle of Lippmann. I ended up with three. Oops.
Actually, it is not as bad as it sounds. A while back I purchased Across the Universe. My first Lippmann and it was love at first stroke. Considering my extreme love of all things purple it was only a matter of time before I bought Bad Romance, ATU's purple friend.
I have also been anxiously awaiting the release of this summer's Girls Just Want to Have Fun, and it was a big surprise to see it in my local Nordstrom. So I bought both. AND fortunately for me, Nordstrom was giving out a gift with purchase which happened to be Makin' Whoopee. Three new beauties in one day!
I have included a bottle picture and a swatch of each. Please excuse my not so nice nails. Below the swatch are my thoughts!
Girls Just Want to Have Fun: This is easily my most favorite of the three I got Saturday. It is a nice coral, and just as Deborah intended, not too pink, not too orange. It is sheer and required three thin coats, but for the richness that it comes out to, it is worth it. It also almost does not need a top coat! I will be rocking this for the majority of the summer.
Makin' Whoopee: This is not a color I would have bought for myself. However, I am thrilled to have it in my collection! I normally steer away from iridescent colors because they can be streaky, but this one is so fun you cannot help but be happy when you put it on. It reminds me of the drugstore lipsticks my mom gave me when I was about six years old to wear for dressing up. This one only required two thin coats! A joyful addition!
Bad Romance: LOVE. I love this glitter for the same reason I love Across the Universe. They both have dark jelly bases that when layered become opaque and the glitter becomes dimensional. Bad Romance is A LOT darker than ATU. The base is almost black with purple glitter, both tiny flecks and hexagonal pieces. You could easily get away with one coat to get full coverage on this one, but I did one average coat, then one thin second coat for more glitter. This one requires a top coat at all times.
For tonight I am wearing Bad Romance like it is nobodies business! I am absolutely thrilled with each new addition from this weekend.
All of these colors are available at LipplannCollection.com. Have any of you tried any of these colors? What are your thoughts?
