Happy New Year & Lipstick Lowdown #3

Happy 2011 everyone! I was absent from the blogosphere for the last couple of weeks during the holidays. I had a lot of fun and I hope all of your holidays were fabulous & that 2011 will be an amazing year for us all!

Now to my second bit of blog business. Today is January 4th! Do you know what that means?!?! It's my birthday tomorrow! Do you know what else?!? It's exactly THREE months until the official release of The Lipstick Laws! Yay! To celebrate & help me count down, I'm posting about all things lipstick on the fourth of every month up until April. For today's post, I've found this lipstick tutorial. I know, I know... you wouldn't think you'd need a tutorial to put on lipstick correctly...but apparently applying red lipstick is more difficult than one might think. Check out these tutorial tips:

Not quite sure why this lady says she has blue in her skin?? Perhaps she's part smurf? Regardless, I think it's a pretty good tutorial. Although I should confess that I'm more of a lip gloss girl. If you read The Lipstick Laws, you may shy away from red lipstick as well.

I hope you'll come back next month for Lipstick Lowdown #4!

Unknown said...: Too funny! Well, if I ever where red lipstick, which is doubtful (I'm a gloss-girl, too!), I'll keep these steps in mind. I've already pre-ordered my copy of The Lipstick Laws, so counting down with you will be extra fun. Can't wait to read it!

Happy New Year, and happy (almost) birthday!; January 4, 2011 at 11:10 AM
DL Hammons said...: I'm sorry I missed your birthday. Here's a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I have a feeling those three months are going to fly by! :); January 8, 2011 at 10:21 AM
Jennie Bailey said...: Belated Happy Birthday to you, Amy! I'm so excited for your book! I hope the months fly by.

I don't get the "blue" thing either. When I had a makeover, the make-up artist told me that I had blue undertones. It was supposed to guide me towards certain colors and away from others. I love that tutorial. It's so fun to get to dress up and wear real lipstick. Most of the days I'm in the classroom and just throw on some gloss!; January 12, 2011 at 6:15 PM
Aleetha said...: Nice tutorial.
but I have never tried any red lipstick. It's just too bright for me.

I am about to read your book. I will tell you when My review is ready; January 17, 2011 at 10:39 PM
Unknown said...: Stopping in to say hello!!! Making sure you are still alive and well!!! We're getting so close to the big release date!; January 20, 2011 at 4:15 PM
Amy Holder said...: Meredith - Lip gloss girls have to stick together. :)

Nicole - Thanks so much for pre-ordering!! How sweet! Happy New Year to you too (a little late)! :)

DL - Thanks! It's already a whirlwind!!

Jennie - I know what you mean about just throwing on some gloss -- that's usually me too. Thanks for the bday message!

Aleetha - Thnks so much for stopping by!! I hope you like my book! You'll have to let me know when you finish it. :)

Jen - LOL - yes, thankfully I'm still alive. Although my blog was half dead for the last couple of weeks. :) Thanks for stopping by!; January 21, 2011 at 6:13 PM
