Holiday Du Jour 12.18.09

I have been an awful blogger. I know, I know! Life has taken over. Lots of exciting things going on in my personal life.

Anyhoo... before this year I never really took much interest in Red lipstick. However, the red lipstick bug has gotten its teeth in me. I was scanning through WWD beauty some time ago and snapped this picture. It inspired me to really wear red more often

Here is my take on it, excuse my EXTREME paleness and shoddy quality as it was taken on my blackberry! It is FREEZING in New York City right now and I have sworn off the tanning beds.

This is Chanel Lacque in Red Dragon. It is a stunning shade of red. I would describe it as a liquid Lipstick. It is my most favorite red I own for a dramatic stunning lip look. My other red that I wear for a more toned down red lip is NARS Jungle Red which is fantastic but I digress. If you are lookng for a WOW statement go for Chanel.
Thoughts? What Red's are you loving?

  1. Absolutely gorgeous! I have an Armani lipstick, but I forgot the shade.. I haven't had the guts to rock out red lips yet.

    Are you ready for Christmas? =D

  4. Looks AMAZING on you. I've been obsessed about red lips lately too. My current fave is Beaute Cosmetics Weightless Lip Creme in Masochist. Amazing! I did a review of it recently.

  7. Love that lipstick on you! I have the same one but I'm waiting until I get my teeth whitened (soon I hope!) to wear it as they aren't exactly sparkly white at the moment. :)

  12. You look great and the red looks awesome on you! I recently wanted to try red l/s too, so I just went with drugstore brand since I knew I wouldn't wear it much. Revlon's matte 'In the Red' is a nice brick red for cheap. I'm olive-toned, so I don't know if I can pull off the red-red as well as you can! Thanks for sharing! Happy holidays and keep warm!

  17. This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free. Wondering where to go in 2020? Things to do has ranked as the best include a remote, idyllic island and the design capital.
