God help me, I am obsessed with lipsticks. I use lip colors of various brands, from the expensive renowned brands to the corner drugstore brands. I own alot of lipsticks, the vast majority consisting of less elaborate brands found outside of department stores. The expensive brands so far in my opinion are terrific, but that does not mean less costly brands are any less satisfying. For instance, Rouge Virtuale in Sangria is a less costly lipstick I found at my local drugstore that is a color like none other, a flattering burgandy-red that gets me compliments from total strangers. This proves that costly cosmetics aren't the only great ones. It feels good to own a brand name product, that I can not deny. It is human nature to feel good about owning something that is known to be expensive, but I remain loyal to purchasing less expensive beauty merchandise because they can be the most flattering.
