Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday: Well in LA’s Erin M.?
Date posted: October 10, 2012 | By: Dawn I am a big fan of Erin M’s wellness blog, Well in L.A.. Her blog is a mecca for those who are healthy hotties in L.A. and those of us, like me, are trying to get there every day.
So I was thrilled when I ran into her recently at Fashion’s Night Out on Robertson. We had a ball – giggling, gushing and guzzling a little champ – as we bloggers tend to do. And I got the scoop on her goooooorgeous look! Here is our WWW girl – Erin M.
BF: Oh my gosh, Erin! Your lips are like a video vixen in 1988. What product are you wearing? Tell me everything. And fast so I can go get it myself!
EM: I have a secret place I love to shop in Manhattan Beach! (hint: my signature scent, picturedhere, is also the name of the store!) The last time I was in the store the gals introduced me to a new product from butterLONDON. This Brit line is best known for their rich, earth-friendly nail lacquers and polishes. Well, ladies, get ready to be a little bit LIPPY I am beyond obsessed with their new line of richly-pigmented and ultra-moisturizing lip glosses.
BF: Tell the folks where this Lippy love fest all happened.
EM: I debuted my LIPPY “Come To Bed Red” at Fashion’sNightOutonRobertson this year, where I was wearing a “neutral” palette of mixed metals and a dark gray faux fur from Hale Bob. Adding a red lip was the “icing on the cake” for the outfit, so to speak.
BF: I looooooove ButterLONDON Lippy. Love it! Stays on and color stays true through everything you do. Gosh, that sounds like a commercial.
BF: Who are those gorgeous ladies with you in the pic? (I know but I just have to ask for you lovely readers out there)
EM: For the evening I was flanked by my very beautiful FNO co-hostesses, Sharzad Kiadeh of LuxLyfe and Celebrity Stylist LaurieGraham. Not to mention the incredible ladies who came out to party with us like Ms. Beauty Frosting herself, NicoleMyden and Whitney Lader of HoopLA (also featured on the WWW series!). I adore makeup, clothing and all the accessories, but there is nothing that beats being surrounded by fierce, intelligent female friends!
BF: How did you decide on ButterLONDON Lippy gloss when there are sooooo many products we are introduced to as an L.A. blogger?
EM: I loved the rockstar outfit I was wearing and wanted to keep the focal point on the clothes that were being provided for the eventbyHaleBob. But let’s be honest, there’s no need to shy from a little extra “pop” of confidence, even when we’re wearing an amazing outfit. For me it’s something small with a big impact, like my signature scent, a killer manicure, a brightly colored lip or even my favorite lingerie. Girls really do have more fun!
BF: Would you wear this every day? Give us a little taste of your beauty philosophy, pretty please.
EM: I love to wear an outfit or makeup that makes me feel confident every day. I don’t wait for a special occasion or event. Why not make each day a little special? I do follow the rule of only highlighting one thing at a time, whether its an outfit, playing up my eyes or wearing a bright lip. Lips are probably my favorite to play with because its so simple to swipe on a bold color and showcase your confidence with every girl’s ultimate accessory: a big smile.
BF: How does wearing this product affect the rest of your routine? (i.e., “This is a bold lip shade so I like to go simple with the eyes and add a pop of blush on the apples of my cheeks)
EM: I try to behave and only have one piece “pop” instead of doing too much at once. If I’m just wearing my LIPPY red I keep the rest of my makeup simple – tinted moisturizer, a little swipe of ColorTattooEyeshadow (gold and bronze are my picks for blue eyes) and myfavoritemascara – and I’m out the door in under 5 minutes.
ButterLONDON Lippy gloss
BF: Is this a signature shade/product for you? If not, what is – as they say in Steel Magnolias – your “signature color”?
EM: I think it’s fast becoming one! As a blonde with fair skin and blue eyes, red lips are a lot of fun to play with when it comes to makeup. I also love Covergirl’sLipPerfection in Flame, which is a more matte lipstick (comparable to MAC but great for girls on a budget!). It offers a rich stain. So much so that when I wear it for a night out and wake the next morning I still have a pretty red shade on my lips, making running errands or going to brunch a little more fun on the weekends!
Thank you so much, Erin for being our beautiful Whatcha’ Wearin’ Wednesday girl today!

BF Asks: Are you adventurous enough to try a bold lip this season? What bold lip are you donning?
