I’m pretty much a one trick pony when it comes to makeup application. I haven’t always been that way. When I was younger, I was really into makeup and could give the names of all the M.A.C. eye shadows and lip colors by sight.  But the older I get, the less interested I have in becoming a makeup guru. I just like to make it do what it do. I have my everyday look and will jazz it up for special occasions. It works for me and I still can be seen out in public.

Now what has changed since my younger years is that I’m no longer afraid to rock a bold lip color. Years ago you would never see me in anything but a nude, sheer pink or gloss. That all changed when one night I was out with a friend and she was wearing the baddest red lip color I had ever seen in my life. So you know I had to run out the next day and buy the exact same shade. Sadly, it didn’t look great on me. As many of you may know, it takes trial and error to find that right ‘red’. You have to find the one that works with your complexion and undertones.

Last year at Single Edition’s Blog Meets Brand event, I was introduced to Elizabeth Arden. They gifted me with some lip glosses that I wear often. I had been totally sleeping on this brand. Elizabeth Arden has been in the game for over 100 years delivering cosmetics that care for your skin as well as your style. They have launched a new Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipstick (retail $25)  that contains a powerful blend of skincare ingredients, butters and vitamins that condition lips. Think kissable lips all day. You will never be caught off guard with crusty lips if your boo thang tries to go in for a kiss.

Whether looking for bold, playful colors, an everyday go-to shade, or a timeless red, these 40 beyond brilliant shades were hand-picked to suit every looks. Each lipstick provides medium-to-full coverage. Colors are available in three finishes: cream, shimmer, and pearl.

I had a chance to try out two of the Beautiful Color Moisturizing Lipsticks and I loved them.
