Hi! my name is Kathryne, and lipstick is my dope. Gimme some duck face girl if you’re one with moi!

Hey! I’m Kathryne again, and I’m never satisfied with a red lipstick. Cool, warm, real red, berry, brick, I have to try it all. Shameless, I am. 

Like how can I say no to this magnificence of a beauty?

Encased in a soft leather and mirrored tube, Givenchy Le Rouge Intense Color Sensuously Matte Lipstick ($36, Sephora) definitely speaks to a modern and fashion-forward woman. It spoke. I listened. I purchased. I was smitten. 

308 Rouge D’ Exception lipstick is a limited edition and part of Givenchy Fall Winter 2013 Soir D’ Exception Makeup Collection. It is described as warm berry but on my lips it appeared more of brick red, which is my kind of shade anyways. It is semi-matte, very creamy, and not drying at all.  One swipe swept me off my feet, it is very pigmented to the nth degree! Wear time is about six hours (no eating involved).

Let me warn you though, prepare to be stopped by like-minded women and get asked what’s on your lips. It’s an attention-grabber, I tell you. Or maybe I just wear mine so darn heavy and bright in broad daylight. Oh well, red lips don’t care.

What’s your favorite red lippy?
