Dazzle It Up at the Movies!
Today some friends and I are going to the movies for a double feature. We’re going to watch the new Batman movie and Stepbrothers — I can’t wait to see both since I hear that Heath Ledger is amazing as The Joker and Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly really fire it up with laughs throughout the movie!
Since we’re going to be indoors for most of the day, I’m going to keep my makeup mostly simple but definitely dazzle it up with MAC Dazzleglass lip gloss. These babies give a super fierce sparkle to your pout, and although some might argue that the glitter is too chunky, I definitely think there’s always a time and a place for this high-wattage shimmer. This includes Christian Bale and Heath Ledger on the big screen.
Today I’ve got on Glamour O.D., a kind of scary bright corally pink shade in the tube but applies on as a sheer, brighter pink with gorgeous flashes of that dazzly shimmer that’s really starting to grow on me. Dazzleglass even has good staying power to last through a few handfuls of popcorn and Sour Patch Kids!
So what are your Saturday plans today? I’ve got to run and get a few things done before my friends get here for our movie day!

Sounds like a long day at the theater. I heard that the Batman movie is over 3 hours. Hope you had a blast!
I missed out on the Dazzleglasses when they came out as I was on a self imposed no buy on make up. But I hear that they are coming back later on this year so I will check them out then.

I adore your blog! I was linked here today by fabulous over forty, which I am by the way! I love how you merge beauty & life! I blog solely about food & travel, but have often thought of throwing in the odd beauty post! Your blog is great!

Hi Marisol,
It wasn’t a super long day at the movies. Batman is actually about 2.5 hours long. It’s kind of funny because every time you think the movie is over, they keep going with a new plot twist! Do you think you’ll see it? Heath Ledger really is amazing in it, I thought folks were just saying that since he passed.
You should definitely check out Dazzleglass if it comes out again. I missed out on Blue Comet which totally bummed me out.

Hi Nikki,
Batman was such a great movie!! Although all the plot twists got me thinking “when is it going to be over?!” LOL
Do you have any good sparkly lipglosses in your collection? I also have Chanel Astral that I really love!

Hi Karen B,
Thanks so much for stopping by!
I’m so glad you enjoyed this month’s Beauty Ideal
Do you have any of the Dazzleglass shades that came out a few months ago? Of course I went out and got a couple of shades and they just sat in my makeup bag for 2 months before I really discovered how much I liked them! Does that ever happen to you?
I guess that’s the downfall of being a makeup junkie, eh?

Thanks gio!!
Do you love sparkle in your glosses as well?

Hi Brittany,
The movies yesterday was so fun! Have you seen either film? Stepbrothers was a riot.

Hi liz,
Thanks sooo much for stopping by! If you enjoy beauty, you should throw it in! I bet beauty posts about what you were to dinner or pack in your weekend bag would be very interesting.
I love food and travel so I’ll definitely check out your site. A friend and I started a food blog as well - The Living Room Chef, hopefully you’ll enjoy it too
How long have you had yours?

Pretty Dazzle glass!
I just saw The Dark Knight on Friday, and this afternoon I saw Hellboy II. Both the movies were great. The only thing that bugged me about TDK was the silly Batman voice when he was in costume.

Hi Decorative Diva,
Ya, I totally noticed that Christian Bale did that in Batman Begins as well and it’s sort of creepy and forced. I don’t really mind though because he’s got a super sexy swagger no matter what!

it’s sooo unfair! those are the only two movie i want to see in the theater right now and i have yet to get there! =((( my s.o.s and even kidYum have seen it already !
On August 5th, 2008 Lilan said:
Kia, you definitely have to make it out to see Batman! It’s kinda long but is pretty good
I only wonder if they’re going to make yet another movie soon!

Hi,
nope, no Dazzleglass for me yet. I don’t use lip products that often as my hair always -always- gets stuck. That’s the thing with driving your bike everywhere in windy Belgium.
But I think that when they come out again I won’t be able to resist…
I do have like things I bought ages ago and just rediscovered. It’s a lot of fun. For instance I bought the Stila Kajiki duo over three months ago and started playing with it last week.

Hi Lily, Glamour O.D looks smoking hot on u! I’m also loving it. It’s my fav gloss at the moment!
On August 7th, 2008 Lilan said:
Hi Karen B,
I love finding new stuff in my makeup stash too! I once found a lipglass set from MAC holiday two years ago and couldn’t believe I had let it just sit there for 1 year before I played with it
You should definitely get your hands on at least one Dazzleglass and wear it for those fun nights out - super sassy!

Hi gracie,
I’m with you, girl, Glamour O.D. is definitely one that’s been in my purse for a few weeks now, I just love the sparkle effect everywhere I go
On August 12th, 2008 Vanessa said:
That looks gorgeous on you! I love the Dazzleglasses! I can’t wait till they bring them back!
On August 12th, 2008 Lilan said:
Hey Vanessa,
I can’t wait too!
Which colors do you have right now? I always love your choice in lippies
