Rachael Inman at Jim Wright Studio, celebrity photographer

Rachel Inman Photography at Celebrity Photographer Jim Wright Studio photo shoot for our magazine cover! Besides the photo shoot we learned how to use and focus a professional camera.  Best of all we had all day to spend in  Jim Wright's studio, looking through is photography and inspiration journals, having fun with his assistants (and FPA students!) Isiah and Ashely.

Thanks for having us!

On our latest venture around the City, we set out on a search for the best lipstick - rich pigment and moisturizing were high on our list.  At Sephora we chose narrowed it down to four shades: pink, red, purple and nude. Smashbox, Makeup Forever, Urban Decay, Kat Von D, and Sephora brand hit the high marks.  Prices vary for you budget-friendly fashonista's!

 Makeup Forever was our favorite out of all, the red lipstick was red and not orange like most.

Though the colors are beautiful, we didn't like Smashbox Red lipstick - -too much orange for our taste. 16$ 

Makeup Forever was our favorite and had rich colors and very moisturizing. $18 and so worth it !

Urban Decay pink and nude made us weak in the knees . . . 22$

Though the brands are most a little expensive we have something affordable just $12 and its very moisturizing and I adore the rich color.

Still on the hunt for the classic red and Kat Von D got the job done! Her Bambi Pink was also one of my favorites! The lipstick stays on long but not that moisturizing.
