Come on Baby, You Like Me, I’m a Well-liked Guy

The joke around Annapolis, Maryland (specifically 49 West, the cafe for delinquents and vagabonds) is that I’m Barbie with a breast reduction and a dye job. The fact that in the winter time I have a habit of wearing boots, denim leggings (Madewell’s black jeggings, from my days of working there), and a bright white sweater does not help the matter. My best friend and I are actually making an Insomniac Doll, who looks like me (complete with under-eye circles and a leather jacket).

Anyways, the Barbie-fetishization of Leith has reached new heights since I’ve started wearing YSL’s Lingerie Pink lipstick. It’s creamy and delicious. The color is a bit overwhelming, and I would be a liar if I didn’t say that I blotted it out like crazy and used it mostly as a lip tint, but it is amazing. YSL lipstick, $34 from Sephora

Those that know me know that I have an obsession with Benefit’s Benetint. I use it on my cheeks and on my lips. It lasts as a blush all day, and I hardly ever need to reapply it on my lips. It’s great alone or underneath some lip gloss or red lipstick (for lipgloss, I prefer C.O. Bigelow’s mentha lipshine, and I’ve yet to find a red lipstick I’m 100% happy with, so that’s another day).

Make Up:

• Benefit Bad Gal Lash
• Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse Foundation in Porcelain/Ivory
• Prestige Cosmetics Liquid Eyeliner (stolen from a friend, I don’t even know where she bought it, but it’s amazing)
• Benefit cream shadow Lara
