PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR POUT IS

Where do we run when times get tough? To the hills? To the sea? To find our dragons? No! To that which will never leave us or treat our woes lightly. To lipstick we must run, its smooth embrace will have it all sorted in a jiffy.

Better than any lover! And of course every self-respecting set of lips knows what colour holds the power to command armies, well, the power to command the morning routine, washing and commute. 

Red; gorgeous, terrifying and awe inspiring. Oh, and its fabulous cousin, pink. They’ve long secured dreams, held up bridges and swarmed our eyes on Valentine ’s Day. They’re the colour of love, the colour of passion and it darn well makes a fiercely fabulous lip shade.

A bold, formidable and sensational colour, we thought it high time we pay homage to this illustrious force. Shiseido to Maybelline, L.A. Girl to L’Oréal, the juggernauts of the cosmetic world have poured their founts of creativity into tubes of colour that have the power to make Mars burn all the brighter and your Brazilian helicopter pilot lover to have a dizzy spell.

Shiseido Lacquer Rouge

If the sun were to shine its brightest on an orchard of a thousand cherry trees, the glow and sheen wouldn’t even come close to the enthralling magic that Shiseido has given to us mortals in the vial of Lacquer Rouge.

You and those cherry trees are just divine.
