I’ll admit that I have a wildly aggressive obsession for lipsticks. My makeup bag runneth over with every imaginable shade you can think of. Reds, pinks, purples–I even have a blue that I am scared to wear. So when I found out that IMAN was introducing a new line of vibrant luxury moisturizing shades, I had to get my hands on them. Plus, I know you beauties look to me for what’s hot.

Each luscious creamy, semi-matte lip color provides full coverage and a long-lasting smooth finish–perfect for the brick New York weather we’ve been blessed with. Lately my lips have been overly dry and super cracked, but wearing this new collection from IMAN totally replaced my tube of Chapstick.

If you’re not hip to the bold lip game, now is the time to jump on the bandwagon that we’ve all been riding for months. These five bold shades from IMAN are outstanding! I am amazed at how pigmented they are. In real life, each shade could work well with any skin tone. Check out my thoughts on each shade below!

So about this hot pink color otherwise known as “Flirtatious.” It’s amazing, yes. I could not stop pouting and I swear there are over 40 selfies in my phone–that’s 10 more than usual.

Although I love this “Hot” orange color, I am not sure if I am brave enough for it. I think a brown or burgundy lip liner could quarterback this one for me.

Umm. Yea. This “Kinky Pink” is the naughtiest pink I have in my collection. I left big kisses everywhere. Even on my bathroom mirror–don’t ask!

It’s totally not “Taboo” to own a purple lip. It’s actually the hot color to have right now, but this deep lavender is not for the faint of heart. Our whole office has this color and we all don’t care if we’re twinsies–that’s how amazeballs this is!

I am a sucker for red lips. But I’m sorry IMAN, there’s nothing “Scandalous” about this shade. It’s a classic blue-tinted shade of red that calls for shoulder pads and florals prints. I am in LOVE!

What bold lipsticks are you rocking?
