Kerry Washington's Rosewood

One of my favorite things to do is scope out the local drug stores for new makeup. While at my local Duane Reade I noticed the new L'Oreal Paris Star Secrets collection, featuring signature shades from celebrities such as Eva Longoria, model Leticia Casta and Kerry Washington. The individual tubes have their signature engraved on it. I was all excited to see what Kerry Washington, the one black celeb agreed to sign her name to as her signature shade. Imagine my disappointment when I actually got a look at the color. It's called Rosewood, and apparently Kerry Washington thinks this mauvey pink shade looks good on her and will look good on most black women. Um...I beg to differ.

While I completely agree that contrary to old school belief, black women can wear pink lipstick (hell, we have pink on our lips too). This shade, however....just. doesn't. look. right. I've been searching the Internet all night for a pic of Kerry wearing this pale ass shade. It's just not right! Kerry, what were you thinking? Couldn't you have picked a deeper color? Eva Longoria seemed to get it right with her "Caramel" shade. Kerry's lipcolor just looks..off.


Here's a link. You tell me if I'm wrong...

I totally agree. There ain't no "wood" color in that "rose" shade. It's tooooo pale! She sure didn't wear that on the set of "I Think I Love My Wife!"

Fantastic blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost
on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm totally confused .. Any ideas? Bless you!

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got
to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
