Hello!

I have entered a low key obsession with lipsticks and lip stains! Up until a year ago, I have only ever owned two lipsticks. One was a fire engine red tube from the dollar store that smeared like crazy and another was a raspberry pink drugstore lipstick that I bought for junior prom and swiped on for every important event thereafter, including our wedding. I had no idea that there are so many beautiful shades, creamy formulas, and long lasting stains out there in the world! Part of the reason that I never explored that part of the makeup aisle is because I’m a musician. Of course, I’m a special kind of musician. If I was a string player, a percussionist, or a pianist, I could have been rocking a bold lip my whole life, but, alas, I play the oboe. My beige cane reeds simply cannot be saturated with lipstick. Technically, I don’t think the pigment would affect how it plays much, but I am so grossed out by a reed box with pink and red stains! This morning I swiped on this stunning dark raspberry lipstick, took some photos, ran some errands, and then wiped it off before taking out my oboe to practice. I would love to try a Kylie lip kit, but I simply can’t convince myself to spend that much on lip color that I’ll wipe off once a day before I play! Celebrate your lips with a bold swipe of color that makes you feel absolutely beautiful. Happy holidays!
