A Red Lipstick to Consider – Lip Maestro by Giorgio Armani

I’ve been carrying around clipped ads I tore out of my current issue of Marie Claire, why? Because I am dying to know what shade of Lip Maestro the model is wearing. That’s the thing about ads, they don’t always tell you what shade is featured. Hopefully when I make it down to the ArmaniContinue reading “A Red Lipstick to Consider – Lip Maestro by Giorgio Armani”
