Don't you be hatin' on my chocolate lips!

Call me retro, or maybe a little chongalicious, but I'm officially taking it back to 1994 and rocking the brown lipstick this fall. I know I know. This can be bad-real bad. I'm getting major flashbacks of my 8th grade picture and graduation portraits (at San Mikol) when I lathered up my Revlon Coffee Bean lipstick like there was a brown lipstick drought at CVS. Literally all I needed to complete my look was a black sharpie for my eyebrows and to make an appearance on the George Lopez show. Or better yet, my brown lipstick and I could rock chancletas, a tube top midriff, and run for Miss Hialeah. As I discovered, brown rouge can be amazingly fabulous and I think I'm tipping the scale on the fabulous side.

It's now 2010 and glossy mags and runway shows have shown us that brown lipstick has gotten a bad rap. And I've also graduated from experimental chonga to fashionista and I beleive everyone should get second chances, including brown lipstick. So when MAC Cosmetics (my favorite makeup brand EVER.) came out with the Disney Venomous Villains collection I became obsessivo. And dare I say bold, when I was instantly attracted to this very rich, deep chocolate brown shade that was part of Sleeping Beauty's, Mallificent's palette. It's called "Dark Deed". So bad its good! I gave it whirl and whoa whoa whoa! Can we say fabo?! I'm usually a nude lip, smokey eye kind of girl who occasionally dabbles in the red lip look. But brown was so out of my comfort zone and I'm happy that I stepped out of that box bc experimenting can be so fun! And the compliments aren't bad either. wink.

Check out my pic above. I recently wore the shade to a Knot party in NYC and I added a little confidence, a little sexy bedhead and voila! GORGY!!!!!!!!! Dark Deed is officially in my fall makeup rotation. Don't be afraid to rock it ladies! (NOTE: best not to wear deep brown with tons of gold jewelry, particularly earrings and necklaces, that have your name engraved in cursive. That's just too ghetto and not fabulous!)

Here's to you. Here's to me.
