A woman in red - lipstick that is - is a fashionable force of nature, evoking a sense of power, especially in times of trouble. "We have seen huge increases in the sales of our red lipsticks across all formulas especially in the last two weeks as the economy has taken a strong downward turn,” confirms K. MacDonald Parris, senior brand manager for Black Radiance, a fabulous and affordable drugstore brand (priced at $1.99, it's small wonder they've seen sales of hope-in-a-tube suddenly jump from about 12 tubes per week to over 50) . "Red is a power color - when you apply red lipstick you feel stronger, more confident and ready to take on the world no matter what the challenge."
