Maybe it’s the wall of colors, 82 in all, that attracts me, or maybe it’s the classic black and gold tube. Maybe it’s the old-fashioned names that tickle my fancy. Whatever the reason Revlon makes my favorite drugstore lipstick. I don’t think another brand manufactures so many colors, and within their vast selection are several shades that look really good on me. Here are seven colors that have become my regular favorites.

Ravishing Red Lipsticks (from the Drugstore!)
Red lips suggest all sorts of sexy things and always have. Women have been staining their mouths red for centuries, maybe longer. These days we have lipsticks, chubby lip crayons, long-lasting gels and lip glosses to help create that red pout we find so appealing.

Since then one of the colors I reviewed has been discontinued and I’ve found more colors I like so I thought it would be fun to create another post on the subject. Continue Reading →

Fabulous Fuchsia Lipstick (From the Drugstore!)
Fuchsia. Raspberry. Dark pink. Whatever you call the color, I love it on the lips. Bright, almost red, and very noticeable, fuchsia perks up any outfit. Deep pink is also a good alternative to the burgundy lipstick that has been so fashionable for the last few autumn seasons. I like the look of dark lipstick but find it more and more difficult to wear as I get older, but anyone at any age can wear bright lipstick. Just ask Iris Apfel, a mature style icon who adores the most brilliant of shades. I’ve been wearing the lipsticks in this review for the last few months and I’m sure I’ll continue to wear them during the holidays and beyond. Fuchsia is one of the few colors that looks just as good in spring as in the fall. It’s truly a year-round color. Continue Reading →
Summer Makeup Favorites
It’s now late August. Summer is winding down. Autumn fashion fills the stores and the beauty blogs review the deliciously dark makeup colors of fall. Unfortunately, here in Los Angeles the weather isn’t playing nice. It’s still high summer hereabouts and will be for a while. Thankfully I found some great new makeup items this summer. My favorites are helping me to look attractive through the heat waves that keep pounding the southland. Continue Reading →
