Hi everyone,

My current addiction is KickStarter, a crowdfunding resource packed with darling, useful, and goofy projects of every size, shape, and purpose.

The one that grabbed me most recently is Cosmetic Psychiatry.

I am totally in love with this project! This guy not only has splendid ready to wear colors (including a killer "dark plum-violet with a slight iridescence" called subconscious),

BUT, he will make custom lipsticks at a reasonable price! Match your costume. Match a Pantone color. Match your entire troupe!

From the website:
"THE CONCEPT: Putting on a great lipstick can lift your spirits and boost your self-confidence. It's a lot more fun and a lot less commitment than cosmetic surgery, and no anesthesia or recovery time is required.

Cosmetic Psychiatry is a line of artisanal lipsticks celebrating creative self-expression and the power of color to affect the way we feel. It's mission is to fill the color gaps in the lipstick market, produce pigment-rich formulas with great wearability and provide superior personal service, all at a reasonable price. My aim is to not only push the boundaries of the color palette currently available in lipstick, but the boundaries of personal expression and fashion as it applies to lip color."


Full disclosure, I don't know the guy, never met him, never even heard of him until last night as I was surfing around. I just think it's a cool project, and want to spread the word.
