I have always been a huge fan of lipstick and wear it every time I go out. It’s probably my most favorite item of make-up. Even if I don’t wear any make up at all, I’ll put on some lipstick before I leave the house and still feel + look put together just by adding a little color to my lips. My favorite has always been the MAC lipsticks and I love their nude and pink lip colors. I love that these colors go with everything, no matter what color my outfit is!

My all time favorite go to lip color is ‘angel‘. It goes on so smooth and has such a slight nude/pink color that it accentuates my lips perfectly. Not too much vibrant color, but enough to make them pop just enough while still looking natural. It seriously is the perfect soft pink color!

One my other favorite lip products is the prep + prime. My sister and I discovered this awhile ago and I don’t know why anyone didn’t tell us about it – forever ago!! I put on the prep + prime before I put on the actual lipstick. The prep + prime helps condition and smooth your lips and acts as a sort of primer that keeps the lipstick on longer and helps it last throughout the day. I’ve definitely noticed a huge difference with how long my lipstick stays on since I’ve started using it! Definitely a game changer ladies! Now tell me your favorite colors or brands!! I’d love to try out a few.
