Vanity: The Best Lipstick I Ever Bought

My friend Lesley is really good at taking pictures of herself without looking stupid. She’s always uploading new ones to Facebook, and if you happen to leave your phone in her presence, you’ll likely end up with lots of pictures of her on it when you return. I, however, am an awkward picture-taker. Especially if I’m trying to take a picture of myself. I always think I look stupid.  But, I wanted to show you all my favorite lipstick in the world, so here it is:

I apologize for the crazy eyes.

Anyway, I loooooove bold lipstick. This summer, orange lipstick was a big trend, so I set out to find a great red-orange shade with a matte finish and came up with: NARS Heat Wave. I am so in love with this color. Little did I know, the whole world had apparently already found out about this amazing shade thanks to the brilliant people at J. Crew. The color was featured on their models for the Spring/Summer 2011 catalog.

Well, apparently great minds think alike! What I love most about this color is that it goes great with almost any outfit, and (as far as I can tell) most skin tones. It’s the perfect way to add a bold touch to a simple look. Perfect for: girls who want to turn heads and make a statement and refuse to settle for a tube of Chapstick…also girls who are too lazy to do much with their makeup but still want to look put together (like me).
