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

This felt, looked, and smelled like I was rubbing strawberry jam on my lips rather than lipstick. It seemed to melt the second the product touched my pucker, which made for a slippery challenge (I accepted and owned it). My main complaint in the moment was how sheer it was, as I was getting used to all of the bold hues, but that didn't stop me from loving the way it looked. It was this day that I realized I was becoming more of a beauty girl than I ever thought possible, as the words "bold" and "lip" would have never been a combo I used while discussing my makeup routine in the past.
