bold – BEAUTY REVISED

L’Oréal Paris Color Riche Lipstick in R514 Pearly Rubie Follie

A fire red with a twist

Rubie Follie is a dazzling shade. The color payoff is great, the lipstick is not scented, and it has a high-shine finish. What’s not to like?

A Gorgeous Blue for a Modern Beauty – L’Oréal Paris x Balmain in Rebellion

For daring souls only.

I remember when ages ago when we were kids, my best friend showed me her mother’s electric blue lipstick. I was mesmerized by the color – it was a deep blue shade, so dreamy we just had to try it on right away. Little did we know it was actually an eyeshadow in a tube (her mother was not amused).

Now I finally have a chance to actually wear one. L’Oréal x Balmain lipstick collection was on sale, and their Rebellion shade was the only blue I could find. It was pretty close to what I had in mind – dark blue, punchy but somehow classy.
