MAC’s Ruby Woo matte lipstick changed. My. Life. As did this super color and blowout from Renovare. My roots were ridiculous, and my curls were a little flat. I needed to jumpstart my look.

My style tip of the day? A twist on some advice my grandmother once gave me regarding my non-existent (at the time) love life: “To get something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.” So if you always wear your hair curly, try wearing it straight. Or if you always rock a pale pink or neutral lipgloss, go for a sultry red velvet. Trust me. It could open a whole new world of fun.
