Nearly a month ago, I was introduced to freelance makeup artist and entrepreneur, Ciara Richbow.  Ciara recently created her own lip gloss line, CiCi Couture Cosmetics and I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few shades.

I have a favorite shade for whatever mood I’m in – True Love, a pinkish beige color, works for my chill days, when I don’t want to make a fuss about makeup ; Surge, a coral color is when I’m feeling lively and vibrant ; Sassy, a scarlet/reddish orange color, is pretty much self-explanatory and Naked, is a nude shade, perfect for when I’m bringing the drama with my eyes.

True Love, Surge, Sassy & Naked

Not only do I LOVE the colors, I love the fact that they’re non-drying and long-lasting.You can check out the rest of line here

Today I’m rocking “Sassy”, my new signature color.

Interesting enough, I came across an article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal that talked about the popularity of bright lipstick (“Very Bright Lipstick All the Time”).  According to the author, Elizabeth Holmes, “Many women are adopting a signature standout lipstick color—bright red, rich coral, vivid pink—to wear day or night with everything in their closet.” Read More Here
