Red in small doses.....

I'm loving that I can change the background of the blog to correspond with my current post!

Just yesterday I was having a conversation with a girlfriend about how the perfect color of lipstick does not exist anywhere in the cosmetic world. To find the just right shade I have to apply lip liner, apply lipstick, blot, apply gloss, blot.

For years I've stuck with fairly light brown neutral lips, but with all the lovely redness coming into my life lately I've decided that branching out into more vibrant lips may be just the thing for me. (My mother will be thrilled to hear this as the most common words out of her mouth to me are "You need to put on some lipstick!"

Anyway, the other day (on my birthday) I was perusing the makeup aisles at Target and ended purchasing a "berry queen" bright red lipstick that looked gorgeous in the tube. Not so gorgeous on me though. Again, I found myself toning things down with brown liner and gold gloss.

This morning, I was finally cleaning up some of the Easter/Birthday mess on my dining room table and unpacked a box that my sister had given me. Nestled inside under the beautiful mugs and mangosteen tea was a little box of Yes to Carrots lip tints and glosses! OMGoddess! Two brown colors and two bright red ones! Guess what? They're all perfect - alone or combined or whatever the heck I feel like.

The universe conspires in our favor in big and small ways. My universe is obviously in favor of luscious shiny red Deva lips!

Having the Reddest Day Ever! Hope you are too.

In Grace,

Kell
