Ladies –
You will need to brace yourselves for today’s installment of ThisThatBeauty Pops Lips: Lip Colour du Jour. Today’s featured color is VERY different from anything I’ve ever covered in the series. And to be quite honest, I have even shocked myself!
Normally I feature lovely shades of pink, mauve, nude, wine, bronze, etc. Never have I featured “red”. Why? Well lets admit it, darlings…”red” is like the forbidden fruit of lipstick. It is a shade that our mother’s never allowed us to wear. Our hubbys and boyfriends always seem to hate it. And another issue with “red”…the wrong shade makes you look old and perfectly insane.
Well strap on your seat belt and prepare for impact. ThisThatBeauty has uncovered THE RED! Yes, “RED“. I can barely believe it myself. I have found my perfect red. And you already know…if it’s the perfect lipstick shade, it’s gotta be Lipstick Queen
Look how happy I am when wearing Red Sinner
Here’s the color up close.
Please don’t make fun of my nose…because that’s just mean. LOL
OK, what say you? Do we like or have I completely lost my mind?
As you guys know, LQ is my favorite lipstick brand. I love the creator, the line, the concept, EVERYTHING! While recently working alongside the most delightful Poppy King, I decided to throw caution to the wind and give Red Sinner a try…just for kicks.
I am not a red wearer. I generally do mauve, pink, nude and the like..but never red. And certainly not Poppy King’s signature shade, Red Sinner. I mean, how dare I think that I can rock Poppy’s color.
Well I gotta tell you. I surprised Poppy with Red Sinner and she gave her blessing.
For five days straight I have been wearing Red Sinner and I cannot believe the reaction I’m getting. A group of women stopped me in the restroom to inquire. Another women yelled at me from her car to ask what I was wearing. If I had a dollar for every Red Sinner inquiry over the last few days, I’m certain I’d have enough dinero to buy another tube.
Red Sinner has been my go-to lipstick since Poppy King gave her blessing. I can not seem to stop wearing it! The vibrant color is a perfect compliment to the “no makeup” look that I prefer. The contrast of the red lip against my bare skin really makes the complexion pop!
Has Red Sinner become my signature? Hmmmm….
I swear the color just makes me feel so fun and artsy!
If you’re in search of your perfect red, give Red Sinner a try. You will find the shade to be fun and vibrant…versus old and dated.
So what do you guys think? Leave a comment. I want to hear your thoughts 🙂
