THE LIPSTICK THAT POPS

After my last outfit post  a few of you were asking about the red lipstick  I was wearing  but before I get into that let me tell you about a little story about my lipsticks.  Until a year or so ago I never ever in my life  wore any type of colored lipsticks. I always wore my black lipstick and that was all. Without even trying I was under the impression that red, pink, orange will never work for me because of my skin color. I even used to tell my mother how I hated her red lips. Then one day I went to Walmart and tried just for the sake of it a red lipstick and it looked really good on me. Anyone that knows me will  really be surprised the first time they see my red lips lol. I learned to love my colored lips and now I am unstoppable. I have a few different brands and slightly different colors but the 2 that I swear by are the following:

   
The Lancôme Absolute rouge is just perfect. It smells really yummy but its kind of expensive for a lipstick so I use this one only on special occasions. The Absolute rouge retail  for about  $35 CAD at Lancôme.ca
 

This is the one I use most of the time . This is the Revlon Super Lustrous Cream Lipstick, Certainly Red #740. Its available at Walmart or any other drugstore. I still use my black lipstick from time to time but now you will most like see me in red or pink.

What kind of lipsticks do you  guys use ? and do you sometimes take risks?

  3. I love your blog and I lovee this lipstick on you. I have a similar story about lip color except until about a year ago for me all I wore was a little bit of lip gloss. I have since found my red shade which is Nars Red lizard. And have since purchased 2 more lip colors from Nars, which in my opinion is the best brand for lipsticks ever!!! Anyway I will stop talking now. LOL!
