Lipstick Sauce

Typically I like to keep my reviews to consumable things like movies, books, and music. This is because that’s the stuff that interests me.

Well let’s add another thing to my interests: my face. Like seriously. Every reflective surface I pass? Checking myself out. Death, taxes, me looking at my face. My friends call me out to varying degrees; but most have just learned to accept, because it is just part of who I am.

So, in the constant pursuit of liking what I see when I look in the mirror/window/toaster/spoon, I have been spending more and more time and money on make up.

It’s usually fun stuff. The amount of turquoise glitter mascara that I own would make any drag queen proud (or frightened if they have a more traditional style…).

This product is a new concept for me (that I am trying to incorporate into the rest of my life): fun AND functional.

I discovered it on one of my mother’s many pilgrimages to Sephora in search of the Fountain of Youth. She was all about the function while I flitted around the store with fun sparkly liquid eyeliner clasped in my hand. I casually picked up “Watt’s Up!” and swiped it on my cheek and brow bones.

I thought nothing of it for a while, until I caught (or trapped) my reflection in a jewelry case. I was off-put. “I look like a caveman.” My mother knew she better cut me off at the knees before I went off. “No. Your brow bone is just super illuminated.”

I thought about it and looked at it the entire way home.

HOT DAMN. MY BONES LOOKED FUHHH-INNNE. And sparkly.

I tried to get her to stop at the Ulta on route to pick me up this crucial illuminator. But, it was after 3pm. No luck.

The second I got back to San Diego and regained a true concept of time, I made the important trip to Fashion Valley and snatched this up.

It was even sold out at Sephora. That’s a good sign - well it’s only good because I was able to get one THAT DAY at Macy’s.

You see, I want to spread the word.
