The Power of Lipstick

"I'm mesmerized by the lipstick prints on coffee cups. By the color chosen by the woman who sat and sipped and lived life." - Jeanette LeBlanc

Lipstick is the ultimate symbol of womanhood.

I was 12 years old when I bought my first lipstick.

It was a lovely rosy shade by Clinique and I instantly felt invincible.

It was my first step in becoming a woman.

Lipstick is more than just the color that we put on our lips.

It's the embodiment of the moments we feel the most womanly.

Lipstick reflects how we feel or want to feel:

BOLD, vibrant, sophisticated, playful, or totally fierce.

It's as if every stroke of color reminds us that we are indeed powerful and worthy.

Did you know that women tend to buy more lipsticks in times of

financial recession and on rainy days?

Lipstick is our quiet rebellion. It’s the love letter we send to ourselves.

And a love letter to the women around us:

Think about the moments of sudden sisterhood in a club's bathroom, when we do something unexpected: we share our lipstick.

And within an instant, strangers become friends.

In this way, Lipstick might symbolize the love we hold not only for our own beauty but for the beauty of every other woman in this world.

Stay mesmerizing, my love.
