Opening Day of US Open 2016

Mothernature provided a sunshine filled day innundated by a pleasant bustling crowd with excitement nipping at their heels for the 136th edition of The US Open. We began the day with an eclectic array of mouthwatering cuisine by Momofuku, accompanied by savory concoctions by Greygoose, in a suite that provided an amazing bird’s eye view of the matches. Familiar faces such as Claire Sulmners, Chef Roble, Saada Ahmed, Grace Mahary, Fatima Siad and DJ Moma (who would later provide the tunes for the entertainment area) were present and captivated by the riveting Denis Istomin vs Rafael Nadal match. During the course of the match our inner dessert connoisseurs were completely sated by Momofuku’s Milk Bar options. We are all too familiar with the selections, Momofuku being one of our favorite places for desserts, so our palates were jumping higher than a kangaroo with treats such as birthday cake truffles, compost cookies, chocolate malt cake truffles, crack pie, birthday cake and blueberry & cream cookies. So after polishing off dessert and watching Nadal’s victory we departed the suite and ended our day by heading to the entertainment area to enjoy music and dancing. We truly had such a wonderful experience at the US Open and thank you to the US Open for having us on opening day.

Charlotte Tilsburry Comes Thru with Lip Colors that look Amazing on Brown Skin

I was a lip balm kinda gal for such a long time.  Deep down I had this unhealthy fear of wearing lipstick.  Since my lips were already pretty full, the last thing I wanted to do was accentuate them.  Another challenge was finding colors that flatter my two-toned lips.

I've finally decided to stop avoiding lipsticks and start embracing them.  I love colors that enhance the natural feminity and beauty of the lip.  It should compliment your overall look, not take away from it.  Which is why I'm really excited to have stumbled upon Charlotte Tilbury's lip color collection.

When I'm standing in front of the makeup counter at Sephora, I have to go through a myriad of options before finding at least one that sorta looks ok on me.  Rarely do I have the option of finding multiple shades.  But, at first glance, it appears that Charlotte's line of lip colors is made to flatter deeper skin tones.

Just look at this amazing selection and tell me that you don't want to try all of them for yourself.   When I first laid eyes on these color options, I immediately wanted Birkin Brown.  Next would be a toss up between Bond Girl & Very Victoria.  Love Liberty looks pretty good too.  Heck, who am I kidding, I want them all!

Charlotte Tilbury Carina's Love

All of my excitement came to a screeching halt when I questioned whether these images are a true representation of what the lip colors look like in real life.  A quick search lead me to a video of Natasha Ndlovu trying several Charlotte Tilbury lippies.  

*Side note* In the video, she tries on Bloodroses by Kevyn Aucoin.  Pay attention to the smooth, creaminess of the formula.  The color payoff is INSANE!  Maybe, I should be checking out Kevyn's lippies as well since I'm already a fan of his products.

The very last shade she applies in the video is Charlotte's Birkin Brown.  It's exactly what I'm looking for.  A beautiful everyday lip color that flatters our skin perfectly.
