The Economy Goes Down & Lipstick Sales Rise

In these hard economic times, we've all had to rethink our spending habits. You may be putting off some of those big ticket purchases or cut off all non-essential purchases all together. What I have discovered is that instead of buying the handbag that will be out next year, I go for lipstick instead. Economists state that cosmetic sales go up when the economy goes down. And why not? We all need something that makes us feel better. Woman need to boost their mood with inexpensive products like lipstick instead of the $300 pair of shoes. Lipstick does it for me ladies.
Right now, I have two favorites. Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Lip Tint Poppia: True Red and Paula Dorf Lip Color Sheer Tint With SPF15 Spunky. I am never without either one.

Kevyn Aucoin Poppia is an awesome redish color with a unique formula that tints your lips with color and also provides full coverage without appearing too thick. Color glides on easily, and is super moisturizing.

Paula Dorf Spunky is a sheer pinkish red that hydrates and conditions with SPF 15. It adds just the right amount of color to my lips without looking cakey or dry. It goes on smooth and silky and leaves my lips supple. You can put on a little or a lot so you can go from day to night. I also love that it hydrates and conditions my lips with SPF 15.

I know there are millions of other lipsticks out there. But I wanted to share my favs with you. You know how you feel once you find a good lipstick. It makes you feel confident and feminine. Plus, if it looks good on you this year, it will certainly look good on you next year too. That's economic security and a great investment in you.
