National Lipstick day

So Naturally when I heard it was National Lipstick Day, I figured I HAD to share my favorites with you all. 

I'm going to show you my current 3 favorite Drugstore, and high end lipsticks.

Starting with Drugstore: 

          

 1. NYX Matte Lipstick in: Shocking Pink

This lip color is awesome. Not only is it only about 4 dollars at Ulta, its long wearing. The only downside of it, is that its very drying. So make sure to use a lip balm first before applying.

Here is the swatch: 

It swatches almost identical to how it shows on my lips. 

2. Revlon Super Lustrous: in 725 Love that Red

This is a very true Hollywood Red. Its a blue-toned red, meaning its not as harsh and its BRIGHT. This is such a classic. Again this retails for about 5-6 dollars. It's one of my favorite Reds to wear. I believe every girl should have a good go-to red. Its a good way to dress up an outfit. 

Here's the swatch: 

You can see in this picture how bright it is, and how its pulling a little bit more blue toned.

3. Kate Moss for Rimmel: Rosetto Rouge

This is an AMAZING vampy Red. It pulls more of a wine color on your lips and in the swatch. I think a vampy lip for any time of the year is a great way to pull together a dressier evening look. 

Here's the swatch: 

OK: Now for the High End Goodies: 

                          

1. MAC: Fabby 

If bright color scares you, this is a color for everyone. Its my favorite everyday nude. I don't wear nude very often since i'm so pale I like a pop of color, but this color is gorgeous! It is a pinkey nude, with GOLD shimmer. I said it..gold shimmer!  

Here is the swatch: 

It pulls much more pink on hand then on my lips. Its a "my lips but better shade".

2. MAC: Show Orchid: 

This is the perfect creamy hot pink. It also in the sunlight has a orchid shimmer. So it almost pulls pinkey/purple. The color pay off is incredible. With just one swipe you have a bright pink lip. 

Here's the Swatch: 

3. MAC Heroine: 

So if you are into following trends, The Pantone color of the year is Orchid. This lip color is just that. Its a LOUD statement, but SO so fun. I think its most fun in the fall, but i have topped it with lighter gloss all summer to tone it down. I love it! 

Here's the Swatch: 

MAC lipsticks Retail for $16 a piece. So its more of a commitment for sure, but they have some of my favorite formulas. 

 I hope you enjoyed this beauty break!

Until Next time,
