I don't know if I've told ya'll this, but I am from Alabama. All my life I can remember the women who have shaped me into the person I am today, insisting that they just cannot go anywhere in public without putting their lips on. I never quite understood this expression until I discovered the Chanel La Rouge lipstick. Givenchy Rouge Interdit is another of my red lipstick favorites! For years I had avoided red lipstick for fear of looking too much like my mother. Then it dawned on me that my mother is really pretty cute. I also have a love of anything French. I lived there for 5 months last year and one thing I really admire about French women is that they are always so put together. They also love their lipstick. Not wearing makeup can even look fantastic when paired with a fabu red lip. This color is dramatic and rich and you simply must try it! Chanel Le Rouge Lipstick, Saks Fifth Avenue, $19.00 - $25.00. Givenchy Rouge Interdit Lipstick, Saks Fifth Avenue, $26.00. Tonight is the perfect night to pucker up with sexy rouge lips, Happy New Year everyone!
