Next week is fashion week and that means a ton of events in NYC. I'm really excited for this one in particular: A Night For Green Beauty. They will be showcasing some of my favorite organic and environment friendly brands. I'm really excited to see some of my favorites like Ilia while trying out others as well. I also want to see their new lip pencils, especially Karma Chameleon. Plus, not to mention, there will be a ton of other high end organic beauty stuff there. I can imagine it's like going to a Spirit Beauty Lounge store. 

May Wish List

1.) Nars Lip Pencil in Lodhi - There's something so gorgeous about the way this one swatches that I almost took it home during the Sephora F&F sale. But it had to stay. I promised myself no more lip products unless I really really really wanted them.

2.) Ilia Lip Pencil in Karma Chameleon - I've seen some swatches floating on the blogosphere about this one. It's like Shell Shock's counterpart but more opaque. I think the opacity is what Shell Shock was lacking and so this one is probably what I'm looking for. Plus I don't really have a pinkish coral opaque lip product ... yet.

ILIA: Crimson and Clover

The Story:
I was first recommended Ilia when my good friend, BluChiffon introduced me to Crimson & Clover. Let me tell you, it's unlike any other tinted lipstick I've ever tried before. The color is so strong, it stays on your lips through eating, brushing your teeth, and even sleeping. I had to wash it off with makeup remover to get it off. I've never had anything last that long. It was almost scary.
