BOLD, MATTE, RED LIPS

There are few beauty looks I love more than a bold, red, matte lip.  And I swear Taylor Swift has been rocking it in every picture I've seen of her lately...and it always inspires me! Red lipstick, especially matte, can look so classy, especially when paired with heavy black top-lid eyeliner like some of the ladies below...

Taylor Swift

Anne Hathaway

Adele

Adriana Lima

Alessandra Ambrosio

If money is no object, you can find 'Russian Red' from Mac, 'Jungle Red' from Nars, or 'Infrared' from Smashbox...but if you're looking for a cheaper alternative like I was, elf has just the solution!

I picked this up a while back at Target for a few bucks - it's elf Matte Lip Color in Rich Red. This lip color is incredible - very highly pigmented and stays on for a really long time. Plus, it's not a traditional lipstick tube - instead, a very cool retractable pencil. elf has impressed me once again!

You know that's the funny thing about elf either their stuff is absolutely amazing, or it's super horrible. There's usually nothing stuck between. I think I'll have to pick this up for myself. How long is the wear time on this?
