issue 9 : here comes the night
There are no truer words about red lipstick than those uttered by the lovely Gwyneth Paltrow… And Kjaer Weis X Caroline Issa Lipstick in Sucré delivers the right amount of kick-ass to accompany any LBD to the ball. This deep, dark blood red with subtle, warm undertones delivers opaque coverage, with a velvet-matte finish. Ideal for neutral and warmer skin undertones. Like any good organic product, this lady of the night doesn’t contain any silicone (the plastic compound that helps conventional product glide on with the ease we have become accustomed to) the lipstick may feel a little “dry” when you first apply it. No need to panic…simply just warm the natural waxes between your lips by rubbing them back and forwards a few times, and you’re ready to take on whatever the night has to throw at you.
“Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”
Aside from the fact this sultry red is certified organic – because more than 95% of its agriculturally derived ingredients come from organic farming, the beauty of it is that the company donates 25% of the proceeds from the Kjaer Weis X Caroline Issa collection to Women for Women International.
So now, not only can you feel kick-ass because your beauty game is on point, but you can do your bit to support other women. Simply by using your buying power responsibly, your money is going towards “helping women survivors of war rebuild their lives and choose their own futures.”
Isn’t that, after all, what every woman deserves?
