Hello!

Welcome!  I wanted to do something fun to share my interest in beauty products.  For the time being, I wanted to do something simple - reviews and swatches of a variety of lip products.  This is something I've tried to find in the past but wasn't able to other than at Makeupalley.  But I figured it would be helpful to see all the colors and textures on one person under consistent lighting etc.  I'm focusing on mostly drugstore products because I really feel that the quality of drugstore beauty products have improved so much in the last few years that they are really wonderful to use, not to mention sensible in the current economic environment.  There will also be some products that I show that have been discontinued but I'm including them anyway as a chronicle of sorts.

For reference, I'm an Asian woman with medium skintone and light pink undertones.  To begin, this is a picture of my natural lips.  This is a good reference point as I swatch various colors/finishes.  I'm still figuring out how best to organize the products/posts.  I've tagged each post with product descriptions so it's easier to navigate, along with a 1-5 rating system (5 being best).  I'm sure this will all evolve over time!

Ok, enough babbling!  I hope you enjoy it and find it as useful as much as I'm having fun putting this together!  I'd love to hear any feedback you guys have, whether it's about the products or about ways I can improve the blog :-)
