Red

I've been on the hunt for the perfect red, which may or may not exist. The proper occasion to wear a red lip may come limited but it's always confident-boosting to know it's within reach in my make-up drawer ;). I took a trip to the MAC counter inside Nordstrom and tried on 'Russian Red', while my sister had on 'Ruby Woo'. I think I prefer the Russian Red color more since I love a deep and rich red; Ruby Woo seems a little too matte (and thus, drying) which doesn't go well with my Chapstick-craving lips. 

By the way, can you believe I'm in sweaters, boots, and coat in the summer? I swear, San Francisco weather is so odd. It's a good 10-20 degrees WARMER outside of the city--I actually might have it the worst considering my part of town gets most of the fog (sigh). 

In other news, I'm turning 22 this Thursday! I would like to keep my aging cap at 25 please...haha. For me, birthdays seem to get less exciting as I get older. Totally. Understandable. At least August means an end to a month infested with bad luck (and the return of Breaking Bad! Wooooh). July is probably the worst month I've had in awhile. Among other unfortunate things, I got my first parking ticket and my iPhone stolen. Thankfully, those are just material things that can be replaced...but I must admit, it's a hassle importing things into my temporary phone and making it feel like "home" again. Technology: both a blessing and a curse!
