Sealed With A Kiss: 14 Ways To Get The Perfect Pout

Have you ever sealed a letter with a kiss? I actually have, leaving lip prints, in various shades of red on pretty pink paper. In fact, that is how I got my nickname, which only a few really know. The high impact lip is the trend for Spring 2015. Not a good thing for this girl, who loves a nude lip with a darker eye.  Classic red has made a triumphant comeback. Mr. Shop This will be happy! Even though one should never kiss and tell, today I'm talking about the perfect pout for Valentine's Day and beyond. And that nickname? I'll never tell.

Urban Decay Sheer Revolution Lipstick 

New for Spring 2015. This vampy varnish for lips is getting all kinds of rave reviews. Infused with something called "Maxi Lip," they make your lips fuller, too. My favorite shade? "Walk Of Shame." It is a beautiful nude with a too cute title.

Their Spring collection is inspired by a Menagerie of whimsy. The lipstick stays on for hours and is very creamy. I love the packaging of their pretty products, The Pink and White Lipstick Cases are so retro and fun!.

Tom Ford Lips And Boys

One of my favorite lipstick launches is Tom Ford's. I just love the edgy ad campaign. Each shade is named after characters in Tom Ford's life. I am a nude lip girl and adore the shade "Orlando." Each lip color is filled with rare and exotic ingredients like soja seed extract, Brazilian murumuru butter and chamomilla flower oil. All of that is sure to make your lips kissable. See the collection at
