Friday Lipstick Jam! Nars 'Tzigane' Lipstick and Rimmel Apocalips 'Luna' + Lesley Gore's 'You Don't Own Me'

Rimmel Apocalips in 'Luna' $15.95 available from www.priceline.com.au & Nars Lipstick in 'Tzigane' available from www.meccacosmetica.com.au

Holy crap I am wearing a somewhat peachy-pinky-brown-nudish lipstick and not just one but two! Usually one to shy away from any kind of 'my lips but better' - god I hate that beauty blogging term - because they just wash me out and I look a bit Laura Palmer as is in completely dead and corpsey. But I have found a combo which seems to make me look ok, yes just ok, maybe even moderately sexy? 

Firstly I apply this very 90's brown Nars lipstick in 'Tzigane',  I think this colour maybe discontinued but the shade 'Morocco' is very similar if you are at all inclined to want something similar. It makes me feel like I am Phoebe in the first season of friends (this is not a good thing), when worn on its own but with Rimmel Apocalips in 'Luna' layered over the top it becomes a mesh of brownish-peach all over my lips.

The two shades are completely unwearable separately but together - Wowzers something beautiful happens! Has anyone else ever had this lipstick situation? Or am I just trying to justify my lipstick obsession?

Now for the Jam! Lesley Gore first released 'You don't own me' in 1963 and the powerful feminist message of the song is still just as relevant today. With Lena Dunham using it in a PSA for the 2012 Obama campaign highlighting the injustice that women would face with a republican government in the white house. As woman living in a country with an extremely conservative government in power I want to yell 'You don't own me' in the face of our Prime Minister who's views on women's rights are sickening.

LIPSTICK Jam : Topshop's 'Sartorial' x The Breeders 'Cannonball'

Topshop Lipstick in 'Sartorial' $17.00 available from www.topshop.com

This week has been shitty. On a scale of 'Best week ever' to 'Shittiest week ever' it is pretty up there.

Lost passport, Mac Book Air spazzed out, boy saying shitty stuff, face looks like a pizza full of pimples, not enough sleep because of some crazy deadlines....Ughhhh it has been a mega doozy of a week. 

But you know what makes me feel better? Lipstick and some pre-grunge feminist rock'n'roll.

Let's talk lippy first, Topshop's 'Sartorial' is a true bright coral-tastic blast to your lips. It is like Mac's 'Morange's' little sister, packing the same punch but is just slightly less opaque and having a satin/gloss finish. Topshop lipsticks are a great, they are easy to apply, inexpensive and are just a good time lipstick. 

The Breeders 'Cannonball' is one of my favourite songs to listen to at full volume unapologetically and dance around my bedroom to. The video was directed by Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, which is just about the coolest thing ever.

LIPSTICK Jam : CK One Color Pure Shine Lipstick in 110 Twisted + Snoop Dogg feat. Robyn 'Sexual Eruption'

CK One Color Pure Shine Lipstick in 110 'Twisted' $35.00 available from www.myer.com.au

Welcome to Beauté Gazette's Lipstick Jam! Where lipstick and music come to party on a friday.

Today I am totally jammin' with CK One Colour Pure Shine Lipstick in 110 'Twisted', this is the perfect sheer bright fuchsia. It is so simple to apply gliding on like a lip balm, but I would advise to give your lips a little exfoliation first because it can cling to any dry patches. The colour pay off is buildable, one layer is a sheer pop of colour, 2 to 3 coats gives quite a opaque lip but the glossy finish tones it down a little. I love this formula for an on the go handbag lipstick, no mirror needed when applying and it wont stain your lips through the day giving you that dreaded lip liner look of wearing off lippy.

Now for the jam........ It's the Friday of the long weekend and I wanted to pick a song which will get me in the mood for the next three days of dancing, sun, BBQ's, beach time and girlfriend hang outs. Snoop Dogg featuring Robyn 'Sexual Eruption' is a cheeky jam with an excellent bass line and auto-tune vibe! Hope you all have a great long weekend full of fun times and lipstick!
