Saint Germain IN THE BUILDING!

I have been internet stalking Saint Germain for a good 4-5 months now. I've posted about my struggles in attempting to find a color similar to it and failing every time. I've posted about how frustrated I am that my local mall doesn't have a mac counter. And I've posted about how I drove to the shitty mall that does and they told me they discontinued this color.

WRONG. NOT DISCONTINUED. STILL AVAILABLE ONLINE, IDIOT.

I almost let that metrosexual male mac employee ruin my day. almost.

Honestly I don't know why I didn't buy it off the website sooner. I guess I hated the idea of paying for shipping for one measely little lipstick, but thankfully I found a free ship code and that was no longer an issue. I was also somewhat enjoying the hunt of trying to find something comparable - as frustrating as it was. But obviously, everything I found was too dark & made me look like a washed out ghosty ghost.

Well the little bitch came in the mail yesterday (and also let's talk about how I went home on my lunch to get it once I saw it was delivered because it was hot outside and I was afraid it would melt. I am pathetic) & I am happy to report that it's everything I dreamed and more...

EXCITED.

Perfect color of pink for me. Not too dark and not crazy light that I look like I dipped my lips in powder. I also love that it's matte - so you don't get the frosted-1985-extra-in-footloose look going on. When I first expressed obsession interest in this color, I had so many girls e-mailing me like "no! it makes you look like a hooker!" .. but I'm not really getting that vibe? Or maybe I do look like a hooker and I'm in denial?

Either way, I love this color so much & I may possibly use the entire tube by the end of summer. I'm happy to announce that this officially makes two lipsticks that I love and can actually wear without feeling like I look overdone (the other being "natural nymph" by E.L.F. cited here). If you're looking to pick up St. Germain - head to http://www.maccosmetics.com/. I used the coupon code "lash410" & got free shipping plus a free sample of zoomlash mascara.
