Once upon a time I was a not-so young girl who fooled myself into thinking that applying a coat of lipstick unto my lips would cause me to look like a vamp/too grown up/too attention seeking. 😛 Cut to the present( Merely an 8 months later) and you have yourselves a lippie aficionado 🙂 ( I still refuse to try a blush/ foundation/insert other cosmetic product here) I picked out my first lipstick to wear to my graduation ceremony – I was near broke and walked into the nearest CVS, bought the first red I liked and the rest( As I’d like to dramatically put it) is history:D I have given into the temptation of buying an occasional(budget permitting) MAC and NARS but I still love my drugstore lispticks to death:D I have since bought most of my lipsticks based on user reviews; there will always be hits and misses but be assured that these 6 picks are intended to help a novice and slightly broke lipstick lover stay covered. In case you are wondering about complexion issues, I have friends(ethnically diverse if you will) who use these too and it looks good on almost all of them:) So here is <drumroll> the list( Please overlook the terrible lighting:))

1. Revlon Spicy Cinnamon – A fall favorite matte lipstick that’s perfect for the evening

2. Rimmel Kiss of Life – A bluish matte red that stays put.. forever!!

3. Revlon Ravish me red – A red with warm undertones that makes for the perfect “bold red lip”4. Revlon Orange Flip – Presenting the signature J.Crew lip for less!

5. Revlon Peach – Fools people into thinking you have no lipstick on at all except your lips look ammaazzingg!:)

6. Maybelline Coral Crush – A pinkish coral which will be your spring go-to item.Remember whatever you wear, wear it with confidence..:D Also I am always on the lookout for newer shades to try so won’t you please feel free to suggest your favorites? 🙂

RED Lip lover! <3

Ever since I discovered my love for lipsticks(which is quite recently), I have been a faithful red lip lover. The pinks, peaches, and wines in my lipstick collection stand no chance against the go-to reds! And thanks to Non from Nonfashionista, my “orange flip” and “ravish me red” have serious competition! 😀 (I won her rimmel lipstick giveaway a few weeks ago, and a darling that she is, she sent it across to me along with a sweet little handwritten note!Thank you :)) Here’s what I love about this one- Kiss of life from the kate moss collection –

1. This is my first red with a slight blue tone to it. I usually use ones with a little bit of orange in them owing to the warm undertones in my skin! But I was pleasantly surprised at how it brightened my face( and teeth :P)

2. It is Matt! Nuf said. Matt and creamy .. End of  argument! 🙂

3. The lipstick is mildly scented; nothing too OTT.4. It wears really well and even after a long day and several mugs of coffee, the color becomes an appealing reddish pink stain. Win!If you are thinking of a classic shade of red, your search ends here!! 😀
