I could probably write a couple of books about the many ways
I have changed since becoming pregnant almost 5 years ago. Physical changes,
emotional changes and mental changes all took place. While my body was the most obvious change, I
was somewhat prepared for that. What I was not prepared for was the way in
which I perceived myself after giving birth. I became a lot less of a risk
taker and way more conservative. My confidence was at the lowest it has ever
been my whole life.
Even now that I almost completely back to my old self I find
my confidence wavering from time to time.
I have realized, however, that being confident will always be a work in
progress and that there are little things I can do to improve my self esteem
daily. Lipstick is definitely one of those things. I feel like lipstick is
something that pushes you to be a little surer of yourself. Adding some colour
to your lips forces you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace something
new.
Since this was the first time I was going to wear lipstick
(can you believe that) these two cuties from AVON were the perfect picks to
ease me into it. I couldn’t decide whether I wanted Foxy Fuchsia or All Fired
Up so I got both. I definitely made the right choice. First of all they look
like lip crayons which I love. I like to call it the dressed down version of
the traditional lipstick tube. I think for a lipstick virgin like me it makes
it less intimidating to use.
The slim design makes it easy to pop into a clutch or make
up bag and the lid shuts and stays on tightly.
The colour pay off is incredible and it has such a smooth finish which
really surprised me. I still chose to wear a little lip balm underneath because
my lips are super dry lately. I had to reapply once or twice throughout the day
but I really didn't mind because I got both of these at such a steal. I have to
say that the Foxy Fuchsia definitely suites me better but I’ll be wearing both
frequently this season. These AVON
lippies are currently available for R34, 95 each in brochure 13 and you can
