lady in red...

i did it... i finally sported the red lip!

you regular readers may recall my recent obsession with red lipstick. well i decided yesterday, out of the blue, that is was time for me to make it happen! i purchased a few different shades of cheap red lipstick, ya know the 99 cent kind, because i had no idea what color wouldn't look absolutely ridiculous on my face. i thought i would be a deeper berry kinda gal, but as it turns out i really like the warmer classic reds. who knew?

so now that i know i can pull it off, i need to invest in some better quality stuff. perhaps the kind that can stay on for 8 hours at a stretch. one thing i learned about red lipstick is that it certainly likes to get all over the place. live and learn!

now it may not seem like such a bold statement, this little bit of color, but for a gal who hardly wears any makeup... this was huge! i did so enjoy how i felt a dash more fabulous even in just some jeans and a sweater. ahhh, the amazing red lip... never disappoints!
