I’ve always loved red lipstick but I stopped wearing it a few years ago because I felt it was becoming harsh looking on my face. I kept on looking for a perfect, sheer red that didn’t make me feel clown-ish but nothing I bought really fit the bill until I tried Medieval by Lipstick Queen. It has a Vitamin E base, so it goes on smoothly and feels as if your lips are being moisturized. The lipstick looks really dark in the tube, but it goes on sheer, with no odd blue or purple undertones. The price is not too bad either: $20. It’s a big seller at Barneys and can also be bought at www.lipstickqueen.com.

The Today Show beat me to a review today, but that’s what I get for procrastinating- at least I’m in good company!
