Lips of the dreamers

I did it again, so sorry. Took way too long to get back on here, and have no excuse. She's busy, who cares, get on a computer and lets chat. Well okay!! Like most of you, I wake up and think about lipstick/makeup, and go to bed thinking about lipstick/makeup. And then of course dream of it, what look would be new and exciting? What colors do I think are up and coming, what trends do I think are coming back, and what texture do I think goes best with my skin?? Well for one thing, when it comes to lipstick, of course there are trends, but I mean how many color are there? Red will always be here, now lets make sure these crazy colors that make our hair color stand out stay!!!This is one of the colors I love, but will be soon discontinuing. For the simple fact that every night when I go to bed, I personally DO NOT like cream lipstick. So for the future, as a heads up, the entire line will soon become all matte colors, and if you want some shine just throw on some lipstick. And I also made this decision based on what many of you were telling me as well. We all love matte lipstick. So for me, I eat, breathe, and sleep lipstick, but that is because this is my passion, and I have chosen to make a career out of it. Now for you, while you must throw on your favorite lipstick each morning, whatever it is that you find your heart and mind always leaning towards, just in case you didn't know, that is your passion. You must always go after what you want, what you love. Who wants to wake up in the morning and say "oh, well the job pays the bills". I know I sure don't. So go get it, you know you can.

Mean Girls

SO! Yes I love this picture... I must say the background is a LILY PULITZER print, but I loved it and wanted to borrow it for this saying. Which is very clear and straight forward, and is something that has been bothering me forever. Mean Girls is a movie not a lifestyle. Uh, yea I LOVE that movie, just about as much as I love Clueless, but being a bully is no trait you should be proud of having. And honestly is one of the problems that is seldom addressed in school. Now myself, I was mean to the mean girls I ever came across so they knew not to go there with me, but I also had to stick up for many people who couldn't stick up for themselves. Yea yea, I know a lot of pretty girls think they can do whatever they want cause they have flawless hair... but we have all forgotten about your pretty hair and are now focused on your ugly personality. Now, we are all obsessed with makeup, clearly, but what I really want is for us women and young girls to figure out a way to actually get along with each other. Stop competing with everyone around us, or throwing our insecurities on other people to bring them down with us. Everyone should be happy in their own skin, their own makeup, their own clothes, and with who they truly are. Too many of us make decisions because we are focused on what others think. Have you ever heard the quote "do whatever makes you happy because you will get judged anyways"? Well it's true. WHO GIVES what others think about you. And most importantly, stop bullying each other. Stop pointing and laughing, whispering and giggling... and most importantly keep your hands and hurtful words to yourselves. Let's all succeed and love lipstick together. Let's be real, women are a very powerful force, if we changed the way we interacted, we may one day finally get paid more than men. haha whatevs.. but really ladies lets be nice. And shout out to all the amazing guys that rock makeup better than I do. You are all my heroes!!! muah, STAY TRUE and BE KIND!

Okay Okay, I know. It has been way too long since I have been on here. MY APOLOGIES. I would say I have an awesome excuse like I have been traveling across the world, got married, or went on tour with Miley Cyrus... but, I dont. I have been busy visiting FIDM, guest speaking, going to events to meet amazing people in the industry to help me make this the best lipstick company out there. And I have met some pretty awesome people. Very thankful for the opportunities I have been blessed with, simply because of FIDM. Yes, I love my school. ANYWAYS, I have been working creative wise as to trying to portray this brand the way I want to. Very pure and raw. Empowering, accepting, exciting, daring, and positive. So, I brain storm all the time, do photo shoots, and plan my next move. As far as new packaging and so forth. SO, if anyone has any ideas as to new product colors, packaging colors that stand out to you. Whatever you feel draws you into a product the most, let me know!!! This will be a huge company in due time. One that stands for something positive, and has exciting and bold photos and product.... OH, AND!!! I have a temporary site now, until mine gets flawlessly designed and built.. I have this one for now, making shopping easier!!! www.ellemichellecosmetics.ecrater.com. THANKS LOVES, STAY TRUE, and BE KIND!
