Just wanted to introduce myself after lurking here for a few weeks now. I love make-up, lippies the most because I feel that my lips are my best features. Right now though I am enamored with anything in giant crayon form, lip or eye color and those fresh sugar lip treatment balms. I'm also on the look out for my HG foundation as I am getting sick of using BareMinerals. If anyone has an suggestions, I have oily skin and I'm looking for something with medium to full coverage.

One last thing. I just wanted to share something about my first experience with makeup. I was in the fourth grade and had just been bitten by the performing bug. So my mom signed me up for tap dancing an we would actually perform in public at various locations on Oahu. Performance days were my favorite, not only for the applause, but for the makeup! My mom had bought powder, blush and a true red lipstick for me to use on those days. I loved that lipstick. It made me feel glamorous, grown up and pretty. I think that's why I have such a huge collection of red lippies because even though I'm 34 years old, I still remember how I felt when I was 9 and wearing red lipstick.

Here's a pic of my red lippie collection
