Pretty in Pink

Let’s toast to the 90s! Gloss is making a comeback and high shine lips are soon to be our favorite thing again. For days when you want to look done without trying too hard, a pink gloss is always a good thing to have on hand. This Armour Beauty Opaque Gloss in “Cat Club” gives you lips that pop and shine!

Subtle Nude

If you’re in search of a pink-y nude, this is the pick for you. For meetings and after-work drinks, I tuck this in my bag to touch-up my lips for a subtle wash of color.

Matte Merlot

We love matte lipsticks, but the formulas are often super drying, which is why these Tarteist Lip Paints are rising to the top of our lippie favorites. The color is super rich, goes on smooth and won’t leave your lips feeling dry and flaky. The lipsticks also have the best names, but this berry “Hangry” shade is our favorite.

Red Carpet Coral

Corals look great on brown skin, and this Le Métier de Beauté Moisture Matte Lipstick in Cinema, hydrates and gives full color in a petite bullet that fits perfectly into that tiny clutch you own that’s only big enough for your cell phone. Bye-Bye dull, dry lips!

Commanding Red

There aren’t many things that top having a gorgeous red lip. MAC’s new Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolours are the holy grail of liquid lipsticks. Long-wearing, über pigmented and easy to apply. We’re obsessed with this bright citrus red shade appropriately titled “Quite the Standout” for the woman who refuses to blend in.

Delicate Mauve

Whether your were a fan of No Doubt, or you’re an avid fan of The Voice, you’re familiar with Gwen Stefani and her infamour bold lip colors. The pop star turned tv personality now has a beauty line of her own and the formulas are so incredibly creamy. This sheer mauve shade called “Ex-Girlfriend” from the Urban Decay X Gwen Stefani line is sure to become a staple in your beauty kit.
