I hope you had a lovely and productive week. I am badly lacking behind the posts and for the first time in three years, I haven't posted over a week. I hope you will be patient with me from April to the end of June. This semester I have many courses to teach, some of them I am teaching for the first time. Moreover I happened to get involved in many projects at once, some of these are due to sheer luck so I couldn't plan accordingly but I didn't want to miss the opportunity.
When I was away last week, I also happened to miss the 3rd blog anniversary. It was the 1st of April. I can't believe that I am doing this for so long. Back in 2013, after six months of home stay due to health issues, I got into make-up to distract my mind. I always liked make-up even back in high school but I was never that much obsessed with it, read the amount of make-up I had could be used up in a year or two. During the last three years, I learned so many new things from how to judge a formula of an eye shadow or lipstick to how to take product photos. I am still in learning process though and this is one of the reasons why I keep doing it. Being the editor-in-chief, the photographer, PR contact and social media expert of such a tiny project called Color Me Loud still excites me today. I would like to thank all the readers for keeping up with me and making it such a pleasant experience as the humble blog which I started three years ago is expected to reach 5 million page views in a few months.
I have been testing some new lip products from Clarins last week. The brand released a new sheer glossy lipstick Joli Rouge Brilliant after the revamped their Joli Rouge packaging and formula last Fall (review of Rose Berry is here). Together with this release they also introduced a Lip Perfecting Base to Eclat Minute line. My thoughts and some swatches are after the jump.
