Very first purchase, made on the same day as my first and only blind date (May, 1998):
Diva lipstick (hugely due to the fact that it was Lisa Nicole Carson's--from Ally McBeal and Love Jones--signature color and we have similar coloring/hair)
Studio Fix in NC 50
>The finished look must have worked because I dated that knucklehead for a few years, lol.
Shortly thereafter, I bought:
Cork lip liner
Oh Baby! lipglass
Gradually over the years, my collection has grown in spurts until about a year or so ago when I began to get a little obsessed with the collections. VV was my first huge collection haul and it's been full steam ahead ever since. Even the ones I missed the initial craze about, I've discovered at CCOs....Hello Kitty, Emanuel Ungaro, Neo Sci-Fi, To the Beach , whatever the Bronzing collection was called in 08, Liberty of London, etc.
