Seeing Red

Lipstick, I love. Now, finding the perfect RED lipstick is an extended amount of love and gratification I feel when I first meet eye to lip with one. My muse this week, radishes along with their many shades of red, inspired my search for finding the perfect tone red lipstick. Wearing red lips for me is a phase I go through, quite similar to my frequent phase of cutting my bangs ever so often. It’s a 100% commitment. Some gals may prefer the new high tech glosses, balms, and/or stains gracing our makeup counters around, I identify with the good ole’ traditional lipstick. Pretty sure I have about ten different shades of reds that have been put through the test. This little guy here from Hourglass, I, of course, am drawn to firstly because of it’s fashionable appearance, secondly it’s non toxic and lead free (per owner of SeeJane, Shelley Smith) AND this lipstick has the perfect moisture and actually stays on without any weird lingering residue.
