The Lipstick Adventure

Me and shoppers drug mart may be in a fight.  Okay, i know it is weird to fight with a drug store, especially one i have been so faithfully loyal to.

I am so loyal they send me the shoppers drug mart magazine, in it they advertise and review products that they sell in their stores.  I was doing my regular review of the new Glow magazine last week (yes i regularly read glow magazine) and saw an ad for the best looking lipstick ever.  Now i don't normally freak out over lipstick because i am usually too lazy to wear it because it requires constant monitoring especially since i lick and touch my lips so much.  Usually if i wear it, by the time i get to where i am headed, it will be all off.  Or it will be such a bold colour that i will get outside my apartment door, do a lips check and panic....."too much too much" and wipe it off immediately.

I got into this huge lipstick kick a few years ago and couldn't stop buying super bright pink lipstick, i loved it, it was bold and fun.  But i don't wear it much because it is too bright to wear to work and the people and places i socialize in don't require fancy make up.  So i smartened up, bought a plainer lipstick that is more useful and versatile.

But while i am flipping through this month's Glow, i see an ad for the Boujois Pairs Velvet matte lipstick.  It looks awesome:


See....doesn't it look amazing.

I immediately start researching because i want to know more.  Reviews are great but it is only available at shoppers in canada.  So no problem, shoppers has never let me down before....do you see where i am headed with this.  Well i have been to 4 separate shoppers and not a single one has this lipstick.  I don't want to order it online because i need to test it out.  It is hard to tell what the actual colour is like online.  

So what do i do....keep haunting shoppers until i find it.  Get mad and boycott shoppers because they keep saying they have it but when i get there, they don't.  I don't want to boycott shoppers, i am so close to the next level of optimum points.  I like to do a celebratory dance each time i reach a new points level.  i don't want to give up that dance....it feels like i have accomplished something....spending large amounts of dollars at shoppers for meaningless points that i am never going to cash in because i keep telling myself to wait for the next level.  it is like the Scientology of shoppers.

Anyways....i thought i would make the blog post today something new and different.  Isn't nice to not hear me whine about my feelings and craziness....instead you get to hear me complain.  Man aren't you lucky.

I swear, I am starting to see through to the other end of this feelings explosion...which is a good thing because the Lake House, you know that movie with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock where they write letters through time....that movie made me cry sunday night.  I am on an emotions roller coaster and i need to get off.  I don't know what is better, ignoring my feelings for two months or now experiencing every feeling times 20?

Tomorrow i plan to write about Gotham and Marvel's Agents of Shield.  Now that new tv is back, a whole new world of things to talk about has opened.  Although i gave myself one goal over the summer and that was to catch up on Arrow before the new season.  I am sad to say i have completely failed....I also need to see the third season of Korra, and the Last Avatar but it was on netflix and now i can't find it.  Also i need to talk to jordan because he is going to help me get american netflix.....i saw it at his house and i was overwhelmed by the choices.  I don't know if i am ready for american netflix, i already have a hard enough time choosing with my current netflix.

Oh and finally in other exciting news....i had been considering switching to iphone because i miss itunes so bad...and i get super jealous at all the awesome cases iphones have.  But...this weekend, i discovered i can make on the go playlists with my current music player on my samsung.  WOOOT

So all weekend, i made up different play lists.  I like to mix up pop with rock with 80's with musicals. I have been told my playlists are very weird...maybe i will list one for you sometime.
