It's hailing and snowing in Los Angeles! The weekend has started here with super cold weather and rain forecast all weekend. Cold weather makes me just want to stay indoors all day, stay warm and cozy on the couch and catch up on all the tv shows. Oh! and of course a cup of hot tea or coffee would be nice as well hehe
So I've been noticing lately that every time I go out I have been reaching for nothing but red color lipsticks. I haven't really been doing much eye make up besides just maybe slapping on an all over lip color, lining my eyes with eyeliner, then topping it all off with mascara. I feel like putting on some red lipstick really glams up my look instantly with very little effort!
Here's a look into my red lipstick collection. It's not a huge one but it has definitely been growing recently. I use to have only 1 red lipstick because it was always a color I was afraid to wear.
Red Puckers

NYX Lipgloss in Sunrise
Apparently I only own 1 red gloss! This is pigmented enough to be worn alone or paired with a red lipstick to intensify the color. This also smells like fruit punch....yum
I'm wearing Rouge D Armani in 400 my favorite red lipstick. The formula is super pigmented, creamy, and just amazing. The staying power is great and this lipstick actually stains your lips a little so even when you eat or drink the color doesn't completely fade off. This is great for me because I'm always eating or drinking something!
If you are feeling a little vampy or devilish, black lipglosses go great over red lipstick for that extra ooomph! The one I have is by NYX. This too also has a sweet smell.
Let's Get Cheeky
Tart Cheek Stain in Flush
This stuff just gives your cheeks such a natural flush. It's that perfect type of blush when a boy you've been crushing on just looked your way and gave you the sweetest smile.
This also ridiculously lasts all day on my oily skin and smells amazing! The only thing I dislike about this is that the product can get a little sticky and wet inside the packaging.
Left: Not blended
Right: Blended out
I DREAM OF RED...
These are the other Red items that I have been drooling over!
This color makes me think of a night on the town wearing my LBD.
Ruby has never been my favorite stone. When I was younger I was all about the Aquamarines or Diamonds, but as I grew older I started having a new appreciation for Ruby. I think they hold a sense of elegance, mystery, and fire!
Skinny jeans, and a white tea.....enough said.
I might be able to afford this in maybe umm 100 years? lol I still can just stare at it and appreciate the beauty that is Birkin.
I just realized not too long ago that I don't own 1 piece of red lingerie! How is that possible? lol I could imagine a high power woman in a pencil black skirt and white button up wearing one of these underneath or maybe I just watch too much tv? hmmm
Red Hair
I kind of always wanted to dye my hair red just to see what it would look like but I have yet to take the plunge.
Red Velvet
Since we are on the red theme I couldn't help but throw in my favorite cake and guilty weight gaining pleasure!
What are your color obsessions as of lately?
