 So I guess red lipps are in......  av been saying red lipps are the way to go. Av been rocking my full lipps (made even fuller by the red lipstick since way back) My other motto is whenever I feel a little crappy I always wear my lip stick and the world is a little better :)  If your not a fan of red or just dont feel that look for day time look, I highly reccomend a brownish orange color, it has the same drama without being "daytime innapropriate" Wear some lipps right now!!!! Mwaah! Continue reading ...

Stirring up controversy...
Just two weeks ago, Vogue Paris stirred up controversy for coloring

photographed by Steven Klein.
It’s a misstep on Carine’s part that the spread is linked with racism.
