Brighter days cry out forbrighter shades of lippy,like a raunchy red, accordingto Triona McCarthy, ourresident hot lips

Do you like the iconic Lulu Guinness Lips snatch bag in my photo this week? If those lips could talk, they’d tell some stories.

Anyway, speaking of lips, lipstick was languishing at the bottom of knockout charts, but it has made a serious comeback of late, with lipstick sales now catching up on lipgloss, according to the latest figures from the NPD Assortment — research experts in the beauty market.

So ladies, it’s all about statement lips in brazen colours.

Lookit! Lookit the mignonne pixtures and patterns!

Still, I bet these will pathway out the door when they go on sales marathon.
