If a girl says that she doesn’t want to wear red lips, she is most likely lying. In fact, she’s probably been through dozens of red lipstick shades, brands, and consistencies that made her look like a clown or a vampire who just ate dinner and unlike Taylor Swift, she’s ashamed of wearing the wrong […]

DIY Pink Lip Balm by Delia Creates

DIY Pink Lip Balm by Delia Creates

I am not big on traditional lipstick. I feel like no matter what shade I chose at best I look like a little kid playing dress up and at worse the joker a la Jack Nicholson. I tend to lean towards glosses and balms for this reason, and when I saw this DIY Pink Lip […]
