In another life I used to be a cosmetic department store princess, and recently I ran into my friend Jim who reminded me of one of the most amazing reds ever created.
Red Vellura by Princess Marcella Borghese.
Red Vellura is a red/pink – very bright and so now – I wear this colour during overcast winter type days.
I can’t wait to wear it on my lunch date with Jim! Red Vellura is Citygirl approved!
Red Vellura is discontinued but available for $5 on Amazon.com
Note* Colour is not accurate on amazon.com.
City Girl in Red Lipstick 
This looks like such a beautiful and cheering poppy red. I love it!
