Lately, I've been feeling like I'm in a rut. Personally, professionally, health-wise, you name it. I know this happens to all of us. And I know everyone has their own way of trying to get out of said rut. For me, I usually get the urge to change my hair (I wish I got the urge to exercise but unfortunately, no). This explains why the other day I had the crazy thought that maybe-- just maybe-- I should run to the drug store and pick up a box of hair dye. Luckily, my common sense prevailed. Please, if you ever see me with a box of store-bought hair color, you have my full permission to tackle me to the ground. I don't trust myself to not turn my hair some frightening shade of orange (think clown).
Anyway, whenever I am in a rut, I also get the urge to . . . buy a new lipstick! Isn't that so 50s housewife of me? And it is much easier and cheaper than going to the salon. So, the other night, after doing an interview, I popped over to my local CVS. I strolled the makeup aisle for a good 15 minutes, looking for the perfect pick-me-up shade. It was impossible to see what some of the colors looked like through the packaging, but luckily I came away with a winner: Maybelline's Color Sensational Lipcolor in Pink Peony. The name is what got me. The new tube has already found a home amongst my overwhelming stockpile of beauty products. And I took the color for a test drive yesterday. I think it's very spring. But tell me what you think! (Excuse the poor bathroom lighting.)
And tell me too, what do you do to bust out of a rut?

oh my gosh, you and I are so similar. When I'm a rut I love buying lipstick/gloss. I have so many that it's a bit out of control, but it makes me happy.
That shade is PHENOMENAL on you! It's very spring. I'm still looking for a pink lipstick I love. I should check out the Maybelline line.
SO pretty! That is such a great shade on you!!
Haha, I usually exercise :P Or take a much-needed weekend to myself and RELAX!
Ooh, that colour is FABulous. It looks so great on you. Brings out your eyes totally.
I like to buy a new lipstick once in a while to perk myself up, too...
When I'm in a rute I usually buy a new pair of shoes :) lipstick would be cheaper though lol, I love the shade and it looks fab on you!
I think this is the time of year to be in a rut. To get me out I like a new lip gloss or nail polish, but the ultimate is getting highlights!
I think you look beautiful :) did you feel better?
If I feel in a rut, I usually ask my friends to go out. If they're busy, I take a personal day. Going for a massage, and maybe frozen yogurt. Little pick me ups help me feel betterm
