Something about red lips and winter make them harmonize just so well — come summer, I feel the need to put away my bright, bold reds, and my darker, moody violets. But before summer comes and we’re forced to do so, I wanted to share just two more lip swatches with you!


Paula Dorf Carousel (my HG red) under Aura Science Star Coral lip gloss

Paula Dorf Carousel under Besamé Vanilla lip gloss

Lesson of the day: layer your lip products! The effect was really subtle here, but with different products, you can completely customize your lip look — and really change up a colour by blending it with another!

And, before you ask: yes, these were taken sometime last November with my old camera.
