Have I mentioned before that I am a lipstick junkie? I have been known to have in my posession over twenty or so lipsticks at a time. It’s a sickness, I know. But at least I’m not hurting anybody but myself. Or perhaps my pocket book.
But, I kind of like to think that it makes me somewhat knowledgeable about what constitutes a good lipstick.
For me, it means one that is creamy, has good coverage, (yet isn’t overly heavy on the pigment) and most importantly, that it leaves a bit of color on my lips. Because even though I like expensive lipsticks, I am cheap enough to think that if I spend twenty bucks or so on one, that it should at least stain my lips for the rest of the day.
Vincent Longo happens to make an excellent lipstick, with all of the attributes above. I really like the fact that it stains my lips for basically the rest of the day. So even though the shine is gone, my lips still retain some color. And, it even has SPF 15!
My shade is Foolish Virgin, but there are lots of great ones to choose from. Here are some color samples:
