Two days ago, Tellie of Beauty by Tellie tagged me to do Lipstick Week, which she’d been doing. For her version of Lipstick Week, she showcased 7 lipsticks from her collection. As you can probably tell, I am primarily an eyeshadow fiend. However, I won’t say ‘no’ to a good tube of rouge!
Her mechanics are as follows:
- Make seven blog posts about Lipstick Week. #LipstickWeek it if you’re on Twitter!
- Post full reviews or quick swatches of your favorite shades. Heck I’d be fine reading about you waxing poetic over a lemming.
- You can follow my schedule, pick your own or combine my ideas with yours. It’d be nice to know what other people use for caramels, mauves and corals which I never took up! You need 7 posts but I did mine over a three-week span, harhar.
- Please post your first link in a comment on this post so I can follow your series 🙂
- (ADDITIONAL) Tag 7 more when you’re done to keep Lipstick Week alive!
OR:
- If you don’t want to go through all seven days, pleeeease just post a virtual tour of your lipstick collection. I’d still love that!!!
Anyway, I thought it fitting to announce this on my 199th post! Can you believe I’ve already reached this number? A little background on this blog:
- My name is Carina and I live in Manila, Philippines.
- I started it on the 21st of October, 2012.
- The name, Softly Sometimes, is from a song by the Psychedelic Furs called “Pretty in Pink.”
- I think I’m getting better at makeup.
Thank you for being a part of Softly Sometimes. 🙂 I’ll be using this post as a placeholder for lipstick week posts.
