beauty resolution: bright lips for every season.

whether i'm in a good or a bad mood, bright lip color helps!  a flattering but eye-catching color turns heads and makes me feel in control of my day.  i resolve to use one of my go-to punchy lipsticks when i need a pick-me-up, and hopefully discover a few new favorites this year.

my three favorite bold lips are as easy to wear as they are attention-grabbing:

1. stila mango crush lip + cheek stain - this is my favorite orange lip.  its a soft, pearly tangerine that looks like it came straight off the mouth of malibu barbie.
2. covergirl lipperfection in flame - this electric red has a bright pink undertone.  i probably own over 400 lipsticks, and this shade is my absolute favorite.
3. NARS pure matte lipstick in carthage - this pink is lighter than it appears here -- it's lighter neon pink without going purple.  gorgeous with a minimal bronze eye.
