    Jethro looks AH-DOR-AH-BLE in that photo!!!!!! what a hair-do!

    First Time looks terrible on me 🙁 it washes me out and has a whitish cast, and also accentuates lines on me. it looks great on you though 🙂 i am very fair skinned (like a vampire) so maybe that's why it doesn't agree with me.

    i did get PussyCat in the TF Mattes, though. i am IN LOVE. i love the shade, and i LOVE the formula. it makes my lips look very smooth and plump/full. i can even "cheat" my lip line a little with this one and it totally looks like my lips. love.

    thanks for the post! xo SJ

      Hello SJ!

      Thank you…his little face gets me every time, even after all of these years ; ) I am so sorry to hear that First Time wasn't your cup of tea. I have a hard time imagining that it looked terrible on you but you have to love it to wear it. That is fantastic news about Pussycat…that just may be my next purchase because everytime I see it online, I take a second look! Glad to know it makes the lips look plump…cheating the lip line is a must with mattes, in my opinion ; )

      I hope your week is going well…xoxo and talk soon,
