What Wendy Wore: Blue Lipstick #2 by Melt Cosmetics

March 10, 2014 by WendyB

I was very pleased with the blue lipstick — Doll by Ka’Oir — that I wore to my designing friend Zang Toi’s Fall/Winter 2014 runway show last month.

Because I was happy with that one, I wasn’t planning on buying another blue lipstick, but I couldn’t resist a deeper shade by Melt Cosmetics, mainly because it was called DGAF. I figured it would go nicely with my favorite IDGAF necklace. I wore both when MrB and I went to In-N-Out Burger on a very rainy day in Los Angeles.  We’ve become addicted to In-N-Out Burger.

Even closer!

I liked the feel of the lipstick and it lasts a long time, though it does transfer. An In-N-Out burger probably isn’t a fair test; even my favorite, long-wearing red — Lasting Lust — might not hold up against that.

A blue lip print on a burger is … unusual.

That said, I also had transfer onto the stick when I had a lollipop later. So, if you try DGAF, be prepared to reapply after eating.

Two nights later, after all the Oscar festivities, we finally caught up with Frozen at the Grove. I switched back to Doll by Ka’Oir for that. The icier look of that lipstick seemed appropriate.

    I can’t believe how well you pull off a blue lip, dear Wendy!! With that incredible, fluffy (feathery?!) jacket, those sunnies, and the white boots peeking out from under the hem of your jeans, you have a crazy-good look going on!! I reserve judgment on the burger, though, since I’m a vegetarian!! 😉

      I’m really enjoying the crazy-color lipsticks! The jacket is faux-ostrich-feather. I wore it to an ostrich farm in South Africa last year and posed near the ostriches. LOL.
