Frankly Scarlett, I Give a Damn

This is the way to truly get a red lip right.  Yes, it may be photo shopped to no man's land, but the cover is such of a bygone era of elegance and glamour I had to tip my lip gloss brush in Vogue's honor.  I've liked Scarlett Johansson since she was a young girl since acting opposite the exquisite Kristin Scott Thomas in the Horse Whisperer and my friend Leslie made me listen to the soundtrack featuring Allison Moorer's A Soft Place to Fall from Houston to Dallas on a road trip.  This is a cover to say let's get GORGEOUS.

Many women find a red lip hard, the key is find a red that works for you and not anyone else.  I'm still using my Behnaz Red from last season, but you have to apply red lipstick with a brush.  It has to be precise.  You can't be all let me turn up the tube and slap that on.  You will look like a bad version of Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest.  My favorite lip brush is by Sonia Kashuk for Target.  It's the white one with the cap.  I love that you can't accidentally push it up in your makeup and it's the perfect size for a small bag.  I still have the one that's light blue, from her first brush collection from Target.

If this is what forty looks like, sign me up.  HB always makes me want to workout.  She looks healthy.  I love the fact that she knows what beauty works for her and sticks to it.  Her skin and makeup are always very natural, very pretty.

Whoa!  Don't hurt 'em Ms. Berry.

Beauty News:   ELLiN LAVAR Textures are being nationally distributed by CVS.  I went in for a prescription and came out with buy one, get one half off.  The price point is great.  I picked up the Nourish Oil Drops and Reconstruct Masque.  Since tonight is mask night, I thought I would try something new.

I used the Ellin Lavar line about a year ago. I like the nourish oil, it feels like water (not slick like most shine serums) and makes my hair really soft.

I have heard of the Lavar line and will wait with baited breath to hear your feedback.

What do you think of NARS summer?
