Color Me Orange

I was diagnosed w/ Multiple Sclerosis in early 2008. Since then, MS Awareness has been very close to my heart. This morning was the Walk MS event in my town. It was a great turnout. I rang the bell atleast 5 times (which signifies a donation of $1000 or more.) Cant wait to find out how much was raised.

I wanted to be as "festive" as possible so I went for an orange look. Did my nails Times Square Tangerine from NYColors. I painted them this morning and now, around 1, they're already chipped. Kinda disappointed by that but maybe a clear topcoat next time may remedy that a bit. Great, bright color that took only two coats.

 I didn't have a bright orange lipstick so I went with the closest color I had. It's one of those LAColor Lipstick/Lipgloss Duos called "Pleasure." It's a deep coral, almost red w/ an orange tint to it. I'd bought it a while back but hadn't used it. Today I was pleasantly surprised. Goes on smooth w/ a slightly sweet (but not overbearing) smell. Lasted many hours with only one reapply. Was slightly drying but nothing more than most matte lipsticks. I opted OUT of using the included gloss b/c it had a bit of sparkle to it and well, I'm not 12 so...

 
To all those that donated their money and/or time to the cause, thank you SO much. I'm very proud to be part of the MS community... I wouldn't miss the symptoms much though! ;)
