Everyone has their favorite colors of the year, right? Well, Pantone, purveyors of color standards for the design industry, picked theirs last month, and it’s called Radiant Orchid.
My purple pout today came via Sonia Kashuk’s Satin Luxe Lip Color SPF 16 in Violetta ($9.99) — a relative of Radiant Orchid.
Are you familiar with these lippies (the Satin Luxes)? They’re part of Sonia’s permanent line, and they’re FAB! — like drugstore versions of MAC Mineralize Rich Lipsticks.
Violetta here is a creamy purple with a mirror-like shine, and I think it looks quite fetching with coral cheeks. 🙂
This orchid prefers the climate inside Target stores (it’s also available online).
Doopdadoo… It’s 7, which means it’s almost time for bed (I’ve committed to going to sleep by 9 tonight)! Nothing new to report. I had a nice, relaxing day with Tabs and El Hub. I went for a run AND a walk, and then watched a ton of TV.
I need to work off all the dark chocolate stars I inhaled this season (blast you, Trader Joe, you delicious fiend!).
Looks like such a cute color! I always get compliments when I wear purple, so I’m hoping that this purple lipstick will look good on me too.
I love the Sonia Kashuk “Violetta” satin luxe lipstick but I cannot find it any longer at Target….has been discontinued?
It’s very wearable, looks great on you!
Btw, happy new year Karen!! ^_^
Oh! So wearable and pretty color ^_^
oooooh, I should try more of the SK line. as of right now, the furthest I’ve gotten into it is the brushes haha
I took a darker, more vampy approach to the new color of the year today: NYX Round Lipstick in Violet Ray with Buxom Full-Bodied Lip Gloss in OMG. the gloss really loves up to its shade name, it’s one of my favorites!!
Karen, you are inspiring me to wear lipstick! ive always been a lip gloss girl but this lovely violet color is tempting me.I think I feel a Target run coming on! Happy New Years 🙂
PS I ADORE your sweater! 🙂 Where did you get it?
They look so nice.
Reminds of Nars Damage (just a little bit).
Hi Karen, Happy New Year! I quite like this color on you. I have to be honest, it doesn’t wow me the way a pretty coral would, but it still looks lovely 🙂
The Shine looks really great on this one 🙂 Gosh, I love purple lipsticks! 😀
I’ve been eyeing this one since it came out but haven’t taken the plunge yet for fear of it being too purple. But there’s enough red that it looks quite lovely! I had it in mind for the color of the year as well 🙂
great color! thanks for sharing, now I’m going to have to try it.
I love that lipstick colour! 🙂 your posts are always so nice to read, and I love your sense of style! xxx
Love this color on you! I’ve been loving purple lips lately
Must. Have. Shade. *gawks*
You didn’t happen to watch the Magnum PI marathon on Encore Classic, did you? That was how we spent our afternoon. 🙂
That’s a very pretty color, I will have to check it out… I totally could not stop eating those little cookies from Trader Joe’s too!!!! they were so addictive!
You definitely have me lemming this color!
