No, this is not about Calvin Klein’s well-known fragrance! My apologies for slightly misleading you in the title of today’s post, however, I could not resist telling you about one item that I’m a little obsessed with. Perhaps, I am so very late to the “matte” lipstick wearing party. I don’t know what has been going on, but I hardly ever wear or buy matte lip colours. My matte acquiring days had truly fallen by the wayside.
If you follow me on Instagram, then you likely saw my current favourite … “rich red” by e.l.f. Cosmetics (Eyes Lips Face) making an appearance (see it again here). I’ve only tried a few of their products in the past and I’m so happy that I picked up this colour.
An early night out with the girls it was, and I managed to swiftly pack this matte stick in my studded clutch. My friends were laughing hysterically because it seemed that I could not upload fast enough! What’s a blogger to do? Ahem, I was on two smartphones that night one for work, and the other for fashionista uploads, but let’s focus on the red, shall we?
This was surely a quick buy and easy solution to my must have colour always in my ensemble. What I wore that night really didn’t matter (although it was quite casual with jewellery to the nth degree), because the rich red told it all!
This is not a sponsored post nor am I an e.l.f. cosmetics ambassador (although, I wouldn’t mind at all). I am merely telling you that I finally found another great red, not just any red, but probably my first matte red colour that didn’t cost me a small fortune. If you have your usual beauty favourites, then you entirely understand what I’m speaking of ladies.
Right … well, that’s really all I have to say! Ahh, it really is the little things that can bring fashionista happiness, and a freshen up on make-up always helps.
Here’s an outfit that I styled for another evening out, post-rich red celebrating.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm always up for a new affordable red lipstick shade – even though I've only started to use bold lipstick colors, I'm already addicted to them!! Oh and lovely skirt and hat by the way 🙂

Liebe Rena,
Danke für Deinen süßen Worten. Ja, ich stimme das Outfit ist wichtig, aber die Lippenfarbe hier ist jetzt mein Favorit, haha.
Viele liebe Grüße,

Finding the right red is so difficult that when you finally stumble on it, it's worthy of a champagne celebration! I love the way this one looks on you, light and easy to wear. Hope your weekend was a good one!
I love your jacket Madison, I love the way you wear it here, with this romantic skirt and the beautiful hat. Great look.

Love that flirty skirt and the denim jacket. You always wear hats so well! I love that red lipstick on you – smashing shade of red. I'm a big red lipstick fan – can never get enough of the stuff. Current fave is Everyday Diva by Mac xx
Wow, what an adorable outfit!
You rocked it!
And thanks for the lovely comment on my blog!
I sure do hope so)

The lipstick sounds great. I need some matte lip colour in my life for sure. And you can never go wrong with red.
Love it!
Love the skirt and of course the matte red lipstick! My only E.L.F. stuff at the moment is a smudge brush which is one of my must-haves. I'm sure the make-up range is also great. Have a lovely weekend Madison! xxx
Such a practical handbag! I also love your skirt. have a great weekend.
Hi dear, I like the simple elegance of this look, its effortless and classic. The lip rouge is a gorgeous hue, looks so pretty on you. Have a wonderful weekend doll!

I'm always looking for new and different reds – normally I don't jump on the trend bandwagon but when matte reds came long, I dove right in. I just couldn't resist. I'm glad the trend has continued; these days I find that I actually prefer a matte lip to one that is overly shimmery. This shade suits you perfectly and it gives a lovely pop against your black and denim ensemble 🙂
xox,
Cee
Lovely lippie, i've really been into matte lately too x
you know it's true for some reason matte lipsticks cost more than not matte?! i never understood why… regardless you look great here, and I like the denim jacket you have on! have a great weekend!
Hi Madison. Auch ich mag sehr gerne roten Lippenstift. Einmal natürlich das klassische Rot, doch jetzt für den Winter werde ich mir einen weinroten Lippenstift zulegen.
Dein Outfit mag ich, der Hut steht dir ganz entzückend.

YAY on the lipstick, Madison. It does look fab on you. There's an ELF red too that I love but I don't really wear much lipsticks nowadays.
Have a great weekend:)
