| Black Radiance Purple Passion (5004) Lipstick $1.99 your local drugstore |
Is
there such a thing as a true beauty bargain? It's a staple beloved of
fashion magazines, who always show us the "luxe" version and the
"less" version, and usually the "less" version is actually
very much less desirable than the unbelievably expensive version.
However, I am going to spill some true beauty bargains in this blog...bargains
which I feel live every bit and morsel up to their more expensive counterparts.
My
first beauty bargain is Black Radiance "Purple Passion"
Lipstick. I wore this lipstick today for two auditions and got lots of
compliments! It's fuchsia, but don't panic gentle readers, fuchsia lips
have been resurrected from their poor 80's reputation. If you wear fuchsia lips with
a clean face or a smoky eye, they look quite wondrously fresh.
Don't
believe me? A little extemporaneous proof:
 |
| Pink lips on the Giles Spring Runway 2013 (also I need these sunglasses! Perfect for all those times I want to be inconspicuously incognito) |
 |
| Rochas Spring 2013 Runway, a pot of magic pink |
 |
| Emily Blunt, rocking fuchsia and green, you are my hero |
Black
Radiance lipstick must be the biggest bargain of all. I've had mine for
more years than is hygienic to admit, and it has stayed fresh, non-drying, and
incredibly lustrous. Purple Passion is a shade that's a little hot pink,
a little fuchsia, and a whole lot bold and sexy and fresh (or rather sweetly
cow-maiden on the heath if you were it with clean skin and pink cheeks).
It looks great on porcelain skin as well as dark skin. If you layer it
with red lip gloss, it makes a beautiful, jewel-worthy pink-red. It stays
and lasts more than most lipsticks, and it is $1.99. $1.99! That's
my parking meter change!

The closest shade I could find to my beloved Purple
Passion is Nars Lipstick in Funny Face...its's a similar hot
pink/fuchsia and it's $24.00. Total savings with Black Radiance:
$22.00.
