Alima Pure makes a line of velvet lipsticks that really jump out from the crowd, because while the line is heavy on pinks and purples, the rich tones knock out a typical rosey-pink. One of these tubes might become your everyday favorite. >A photo posted by alimapure (@alimapure) on Jan 16, 2015 at 12:22pm PST
