The one lipstick to buy this month

I have a weird relationship with lipstick. The only time I buy one is after I get my hair cut, dyed or changed in some way. Bizzare, I know but it has always been a thing for me. I think it started around the time I had acne. I would get some kind of new hair cut, and would secretly hope that between that and

Bizzare, I know, but it has always been a thing for me. I think it started around the time I had acne. I would get some kind of new hair cut, and would secretly hope that between that, and buying a new lip colour, it would transform my face. It didn't, but the combination of the two would make me feel somewhat better about the situation at hand.

Anyway, it's turned into a type of tradition for me and is something I still do to this day.

I've just got my hair did, and my lipstick of the moment is:

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Matte Lipstick in Soft Lilac

This soft lilac shade suits most skin tones, as the blue shades in it even out redness in the skin and brighten your smile. What more could you want?

Now, you can't buy Anastasia products in Ireland (yet), but you can get your hands on this beauty from beautybay.com or from the Anastasia website, and who doesn't love a sweet little delivery to their door?

Do you have a favourite lipstick or a strange tradition you want to tell me about?
