It’s day 10 of Red (Lips)!! My, oh, my… I don’t want it to end!! 🙁
Moving on…
I have a question for ya! If you are into makeup and beauty, how many times have you heard the term “Vampy” being tossed around? If you aren’t into (code word for obsessed) makeup and beauty, I bet that you haven’t heard this term much, if at all.
However, as someone who is both into makeup and beauty AND is in love with red lips, I have heard this a fair share of times. Whenever people say it, I always somewhat laugh, because I assume that the term derives from the way a vampire’s lips look, but don’t vampires have pretty plain, nondescript lips? I mean, sure, they’re probably pretty chapped, hence their constant thirst [;)], but I wouldn’t necessarily conclude that they have any other kind of lips than pale (or, if you’re Edward Cullen, sparkly in the sun ;-])…
Nonetheless, people use the term “Vampy” all of the time and over time, I’ve gathered that it is meant to mean deep, dark and sultry. One can usually achieve this look by using a red or purple lip product, but this isn’t 12 Days of Purple (Lips), is it!? 😉
