Covergirl LipPerfection Lipstick in Taylor Swift Red Review

FACT: I'm obsessed with Taylor Swift.

Justification: I am aware that I'm 24 years of age but I just don't care, her songs are catchy and continuously successful and she oozes glamour and class (despite being associated with half of Hollywood's bachelors) and she sponsors fantastic products. I'm in love with her new perfume (which I'll talk about some other time) but for now lets focus on the new look she's been sporting for the last year in the run-up to her new album RED. She's straightened her hair into smooth waves, and taken to black eyeliner and bold red lips. Being the face of Covergirl, she's paid to wear their products and interviews regularly cite the Covergirl LipPerfection Lipstick in Hot (305) which apparently sits in her bag permanently. Note: Hot is sold as Hot Passion in Australia

So never mind the fact that I think red lips make me look like a tramp and I have nothing (beauty wise) in common with Taylor Swift considering I've got Olive skin, Brown-Black Hair and a completely different facial structure...I had to have it.

Here's my take on the product after the jump...

FOTD Geisha Goddess

Following up on Sabrina's Face of the Day here is my attempt at a bold lip (if you've read our "About Us" section then you'll be well aware of my fear of red lipstick).

Still on holidays so relying on minimal supplies I was desperate to try my new red hot lipstick so this is what I came up with for a night time dinner/event (because I would not have the balls to wear this during the day). I'd probably recommend this to someone with lighter hair than mine because as you can see, with black hair it ends up looking a bit geisha-esque!

Products Used
- Foundation: MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW30
- Concealer: Bobbie Brown Face Touch Up Stick in 4.25 Natural Tan
- Blush: Nars in Orgasm
- Eyeliner: MAC Powerpoint Eye Pencil in Industry (Black)
- Covergirl Colorstay Lipstick in Hot Passion 305 (Red)

If you I were at home with my full collection I would have preferred to use a smooth liquid eyeliner, filled in my eyebrows a bit and a bronzer (possibly a different coloured blush) but it's a nice simple look that'll make an impression!

Give it a try and I'd love to see the results on other people!
