I absolutely love lipstick!  You can tell by my collection of almost every brand that I have - in baggies, in a huge box, tucked away in a cabinet.  I used to buy fashion colors that were in at the time, but not necessarily the right color for me.  Those days are long over.  I met an American in Austria about two years ago who turned me on to YSL (Yves St. Laurent) lipsticks.  We had similar eye and hair coloring, but for some reason her lipsticks looked so nice on her.  She is the one who actually brought it up first by asking me if I had ever tried YSL lipsticks.  Did she notice my awful looking garrish pink that I was wearing?  I replied that I hadn't.  I complimented her color and then when I saw her the next day, she was wearing another beautiful shade that complimented her skin and outfit!  Again it was YSL!  I had to have that color!  She mentioned some numbers which I quickly jotted down, since YSL uses numbers instead of names for its lipsticks.  My alltime favorite is the perfect pink - #138 - not too pale and not too dark.  It is creamy and long lasting.  Everytime I wear my YSL Rouge Pur #138, I think of her.
