I Wore 12 Days of Bold Lipstick Shades Because I'm Afraid of Lipstick

A week before this little project, I would have said "hell to the no" at this color, but man, I loved it. This lipstick is actually sold in a duo, called Ice Queen Story — one product is Ice Queen, a straight-up white color, and the other is Wine Sinner, the dark maroon.

When I first applied it in the morning, I used the creamy white shade underneath the dark crimson. Throughout the day I chose to only reapply Wine Sinner and was definitely more into that result. The formula was buttery, and I found that it stayed on my lips all day with very minor smudging when I touched my lip area (which was now all day, every day).
