A Festival for Dionysus
Saturday, March 12, 2016Dionysus really loved his reds. In Greek mythology, Dionysus was the god of wine and fertility, responsible for good drunks, bad drunks, happy drunks, angry drunks, chatty drunks... and the passion that may or may not follow after having said wine. I think I would have really liked him. :)
ColourPop's Ultra Matte liquid lipstick in LAX reminds me of a full-bodied Cabernet, my favorite type of red wine. I usually don't go for really dark lip colors, but something has gotten into me lately where I just feel sexy when I wear them, especially LAX.
LAX has two sides to it, just like Dionysus. While I really love how it looks on me and makes me feel, it is the most difficult Ultra Matte I have tried from ColourPop.

Now there is kind of a learning curve to making this work. I tried spraying this directly on my face, which was a good learning experience but was quite startling, as the trajectory of the spray was too wide and I ended up spraying everything near the side of my face. I find it's best to spray this a few times directly on the brush at close proximity and pat it on the apples of my cheeks all the way up to my temples.

It's subtle and it's beautiful and it's waterproof! After swatching, I tried washing my arm off with water and the color did not budge; I was scrubbing too. The blush has gold highlights in it as well, so it can double as a highlighter. The blush lasts on me throughout the day until I take it off.
Enough chat. Time for wine.
