Well, every girl has to have a special something, that gives her a boost when she most needs it. It can be a song you always smile when hearing, a book you always go back to or, for us beauty obsessed, the perfect red lipstick.

Is there anything comparable to the assurance red lipstick gives you? I don't think so. You can have a lousy day at work, your apartment might be tiny but really untidy, your fridge might be empty because you forgot to go shopping, but you'll never get let down by your red lipstick.

I tend to wear mine when it's raining outside, I'm late for work and I still haven't finished the project I was supposed to give to my boss that day.

So, you can imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw the new Dior Rouge in just the perfect Red Premier color! It makes Monica Bellucci look even more sexy, so it's bound to make the little old me look stunning too.

The Dior Rouge is available at Sephora for $24. The website says:

Dior Rouge's Formula strikes the perfect balance of stay-on power, coverage, and shine. Dior's "lip-perfecting" complex that offers incomparable moisturizing and re-contouring benefits combined with long-wearing, lip-pampering color that lasts for hours and Color Reveal Complex that's a light amplifier contained in the formula to provides all shades with unrivaled radiance making them look fresh, bright and pure.
