ILIA- “THE IT LIP”

Lipstick is a very funny thing for women. When you find that life-changing shade you want to buy stock in it. It’s not at all crazy that a woman will buy a least 5 or 6 lipsticks at once out of fear that it will be hard to find, or, our worst nightmare, DISCONTINUED! Personally, it has been a while since a lipstick has taken that kind of precedence in my world. Of course, I have my faves, but I haven’t had that “can’t leave home without it” feeling in quite some time. Then I found ILIA-which is now the gem that I carry in my back pocket, the console in my car, my bathroom beauty drawer, and of course, the makeup kit I bring to work. When you discover a brand like ILIA it’s just really hard not to snag one (or a few) tubes for yourself. Imagine: 6 modern, totally natural, 85% organic stunning lipsticks.These babies can be worn sheer OR with a couple of passes you can accentuate and deepen the color. They also can be layered and mixed to discover a dozen other beautiful combos! My personal favorite is Arabian Knights-a deliciously modern, deep berry ( kind of the color of my lips when I was 6) that is absolutely perfect for the holidays. I would be using them all but every time I apply it on a client they beg and plead to keep it!!! I have no doubt ILIA is here to stay. Founder and creative designer Sasha Plavsic has taken no shortcuts-using only the best natural and organic ingredients available. When I asked her why she launched this masterpiece line with only lipstick she replied, “ I wanted to do it right.” What an understatement-its bloody fabulous!! Just so you know, pulling this lipstick out at a dinner party is almost like having a handsome date by your side. It’s sexy, sleek design is as gorgeous as the lipcolor inside-and I promise you the result is kissable lips that will be the envy of everyone! Happy Holidays!!
