hybrid lips

I don't know if you've noticed, but there's a new lip product out there and it goes by many names. I've seen them referred to as "liquid lipsticks" or "glossy stains". Regardless of the names, these lip products are a hybrid of a few products- specifically a lipstick, stain and gloss. The beautiful thing about combining all of these textures is the long-lasting staying power (thanks to the stain), the opaque pigment (that one's from the lipstick) and the high-shine and moisture (yes, the gloss contributed that aspect). To sum it up, your lips will not only look amazing, but they will feel amazing too because most of the brands have added some wonderful ingredients to moisturize your lips and keep them healthy. Now that's a reason to smile.

Beauty Fixation; October

Just like the Kitchen Fixation post, I’ll be doing the same for a beauty product that I’m obsessing over.

Fresh Sugar Lip Balm in Berry is my go-to Fall lip color. It's a beautiful color that has just enough pink to complement my skin tone and is dark enough for that perfect I-just-drank-grape-juice-unintentionally-stained look.

This is for anyone who wants to look polished while being low-maintenance. It’s a true multi-tasker: lip balm, lipstick, SPF 15 and gloss in one! So even if $22.50 seems like a high price for a lip balm, think about all the features you get from one product and you'll keep your mouth shut (pun intended). The best part? It feels like a creamy, satiny lip balm; not like a sticky gloss or dry, matte lipstick. 

If Berry isn’t really your color, Fresh makes a beautiful range of colors that they keep adding to their collection.

Sephora has some great Holiday sets from Fresh right now (can you believe I just said "Holiday"?!?!) These are a fantastic value and a perfect way to try lots of colors at once (or you could be super-duper nice and break up the set and keep some for you, and gift the rest).

7 lip colors for $50

8 lip colors for $65

Ever tried any of the Fresh Sugar Lip Balm colors? Any Fall favorite lip colors you're obsessed with?
