Daily Beauty: Lipstick Queen Saint Eden

Good morning! I would like to introduce you to my (and, I think, your) new favorite lipstick.

Lipstick Queen in Saint Eden is one of the latest creations from Poppy King (the famous red lipstick-wearer), and it's a sheer watermelon shade that feels great (no dryness) and is completely wearable, even if you're an all-gloss, all-the-time girl.

Really, for those of you who are still a little nervous about the whole red lipstick thing, this color is the perfect way to start dipping your toes into the waters (and trust me, once you're there, you won't go back). And for those of you who've already embraced the idea...this is how you do it up for daytime.

More red lipstick tips coming up shortly!

Daily Beauty: Sue Devitt Lip Intensifier Pencil

I've written before about Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil (it's the key element in my Summery Smoky Eye), and the Lip Intensifier Pencil is just as all-around useful: it's a chunky pencil that comes in four shades (I use Kirakira) and pumps up your own lip color just the slightest bit.

I've been using it in two ways: 1) As a base under my red lipstick, to keep it staying put longer, and 2) all on its own, for a slightly-better-than-natural look. One note: while the Lip Intensifier has more moisture in it than a traditional lip pencil, it's still a very matte look, so you may want to pair it with balm or gloss.

I would also like to tell you that Yo Gabba Gabba has now officially become a part of my brain chemistry. You know how I wanted to end this post?

"Try it...you'll like it!"
