I love trying all shades and brands of lipstick! I don’t know what happened but when I turned 30, I all of a sudden became obsessed with “non-traditional” lip colors. While at my friend Danyelle‘s house she had some lipsticks that she had never used, so you know what I did right?? I started playing with them and now they are mines! The first shade, I swatched for you guys was a lipstick from Keyshia Ka’oir’s Line called Sex. Sex is a deep plum red lipstick that almost looks brown.

Besides going to Fashion Shows, one thing I love about going to New York is for the events!
