While more often than not my lips might have a bit of lipgloss (if anything), every year at about this time I find myself wanting a fresh bit of color by way of lipstick.  Maybe it is all the love in the air brought around by way of Valentines day?  Or maybe it is simply that it is the middle of winter with paleness reigning supreme leaving me craving color...

When I am going to wear lipstick, I prefer Benefit, Nars, and Mac.  I tend to love their colors the best.
