One of my New Year resolutions is to wear lipstick. Everyday. It seems a simple thing to do but honestly as I juggle my son's activities, blog projects and everyday day life demands, putting on lipstick is the last thing to be done. If it gets done at all.

Note: I received product sample for review purpose. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

But this year I wanted to move it up my task list. Why? Because wearing lipstick makes me feel good. It's a simple but important way for me to feel like I'm doing something just for "me". So this year I've really made adding color to my lips everyday a priority.

I guess the beauty gods heard my request. The PR girl for Hard Candy Cosmetics reached and suggested I try the Hard Candy Velvet Mousse Matte Lip Color.


I'm so glad she did because after trying it for a few days, I LOVED it. The color was amazing. A nice rich tone that wasn't too much since it was matted. But better that that, it didn't dry my lips out. The color went on soft and smooth and stayed that way all day.


A must-have for beauty routines this season, the Hard Candy Velvet Mousse Matte Lip Color ($6) formula hydrates lips and offers comfortable wear in 7 shades including Daffodil, Dahlia, Tulip, Sweet Pea, Hibiscus, Cherry Blossom and Wisteria
