The Lipstick League – week of 2.20.12
Happy Oscar Weekend everyone! I admit, I don’t get out to the movie theater very often, so when the Academy Awards roll around, I’m lucky if I have seen a few of the contenders. But every year, I’m still parked in front of the television for the big awards ceremony. I can’t resist the outfits, makeup, and hair on display on the red carpet (and maybe I’ll add a few movies to my Must See List).
Our image this week is of my favorite old Hollywood glamour girl, Audrey Hepburn backstage at the 1954 Academy Awards, the year she won Best Actress for Roman Holiday. (And wouldn’t you love to know what exactly is in her little stash of products?)
Onto the Lipstick League!
Question of the Week: – If you weren’t blogging about beauty, what would you be blogging about?
Answer: One reason I love writing for wht is that I’m able to blog about other things I love – food, books, decorating, thrifting, etc. But one topic I would enjoy writing about (that just doesn’t fit in with wht) is elite gymnastics. I spend way too much time online reading gymnastics blogs and watching old meets and routines on YouTube. But IT IS an Olympic year – I just may find a way to share my obsession with you all in a post this summer!
And from around the League this week:
we heart this – Glam.com just sent their latest package to Beauty Board members. Take a look at what they’re excited about for spring, from L’Eau de Chloé to mascara with a flexible wand!
Beauty Junkies Unite – We tried out six shades of the new L’Oreal Infallible 24HR Eyeshadows, and couldn’t believe the long wear we got out of a shadow that isn’t a cream!
Clumps of Mascara – is head over heels in love with OPI’s Holland collection. Some of the polishes are just so so and others are just amazing!
EauMG – Inspired by a Gauguin art exhibit, Victoria shares which perfumes that she believes could fit in with these Polynesian paradises.
Gouldylox Reviews – You can mix this little miracle into everything. This huile is that good!
Lipglossiping – Gets on board with the latest beauty trend straight from London Fashion Week… Face Lace. Intricate stick-on designs for the visage!
Nouveau Cheap – If you haven’t heard, Payless Shoe Source sells cosmetics now. And guess what? There’s some awesomeness to be found in their newest collection.
Pink Sith – Loves her Barry M Dazzle Dust in Oyster Grey so much, she went a Absolutely Ape with Alliteration.
Prime Beauty – continues her series on “Brands You Need To Know About But Probably Don’t” with GlamNatural and their outstanding hydrating foundation.
Phyrra – Flirts with the Make Up For Ever La Bohème Rouge Artist Natural lipsticks, which are perfect for spring.
Vampy Varnish – Loves the new NYX Roll On Shimmers and they come in 16 shades!
How about you readers, what would you like to blog about?

I would love to do a wedding blog (I recently got engaged!) or a cooking blog. I’m a terrible cook though! I probably will post about my misadventures on my Lipgloss and Spandex blog, which mostly focuses on beauty, but sometimes fitness and other random things I’m interested in.
Congrats on the engagement! That’s so exciting!!
Congrats on getting engaged @lipglossandspandex – what fabulous news!

He’s one lucky fellow! Congats on your engagement! That’s so exciting!! Stay for the long haul! Coming up on my 25 year this May.. and never forget the begining of it all. Good old love.. it is all that really matters after all!
Exciting news, @lipglossandspandex ! Best wishes!
Another big old congratulations Marilyn @Lipgloss and Spandex to you and the lucky guy that captured your heart!
@tyna, I never knew you loved gymnastics so much.. I do too.. I was a gymnast in my youth and into my late teens. After years of it I wound up hurting my back and developing Pars Defect from all the hyperextentions and still, I am glad I was flipping around the floor mat, regardless!
If I could blog about something other than beauty products, it would be music. I love music and what it can do for us on so many levels. Music with a touch can assist in bringing healing to a wounded heart and soul in an instant and even helps heal premature babies. I have a friend who is a Music Therapist at a Children’s Hospital where she has seen for herself it’s treatment work! Cool, right!! :)
I didn’t know you were a gymnast and a gymnastic fan either Pamela @Irene! We will have to get together some day and talk all about it! I fell in love with the sport as a kid but never really trained. I had a handful of lesson but most of my ‘skills’ came from flipping around my backyard and jungle gym. But, thanks to the internet I can feed my obsession.

I would be blogging on a decorating and antiquing blog. I’m also a pop culture junkie so talking about the Oscar Red Carpet or say the MAD MEN PREMIERE on March 25th gets me very excited too! : )
I like this question! The first thing that comes to mind would be a blog about thrifts stores. Posting my latest find, driving across country and creating a dairy of the best ones across the country, writing stories about the items; who owned them before, etc.
And for a real specialty field, I’d love to do a blog about hats! I think millinery is fascinating.

A huge CONGRATS @lipglossandspandex!!!
This is a great but difficult question!! I would want to blog about so many things: my beautiful dog(a Havanese), music, books, movies, and I could just go on and on!! I heart a lot of things, which is why wht is the perfect blog for me to be at!! You guys are diverse!!
I think I would love to do a kid’s blog too…Everything that talks about little ones…
