I Resolve to Wear Red Lipstick!





Thanks for all the great comments about your resolutions. How many of you have stuck to them? It's always tough, isn't it? If you've already slipped, just pick yourself up and try again. You have 365 chances to start fresh each year.



I made a huge list of resolutions, as I always do. The easiest one? Wear bright lipstick from time to time. I'm a lip liner and gloss girl. I love my Le Lipstique, Juicy Tubes and Color Fever glosses so I rarely gravitate towards lipstick. But this year, I'm going to reach for the reds and the fuchsias a bit more.



I have no excuse now that we have those amazing Color Design Matte lipsticks. The Red Haute color is incredible and we get a lot of personal requests from magazine editors for it. Daniel Martin, one of our fave makeup artists, also loves Red Haute. I think he used it on Chloe Sevigny when she was on the cover of Purple magazine.



Emily Weiss, the gal behind of our favorite new blog, Into The Gloss, loves it too, so we commissed her to shoot a photo essay of her pals wearing the Color Design range. Check out her great post and the accompanying photos. (Two of my faves are above.)



The good news about matte lipstick is that the pigment technology is different these days. It's not the drying matte of the past, but a much gentler-on-the-lips matte. So let's do another unannounced giveaway. What would it take to get you to wear red lipstick for a day? Tell me and I'll pick one comment at random to receive the entire matte lipstick range. I think there are seven of them. (This is a good giveaway if I say so myself!) Please post by Tuesday night. And congrats to Diana who won the L'Wren gift set. (Another awesome giveaway. Lucky Diana!)



Have a beautiful weekend.
