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.

The Pastel Makeup Bag

Some things just scream Spring and that for me is always PASTELS! It may have something to do with those ridiculously addictive Cadbury eggs, or that nature is somehow in on the scheme; pale-hued flowers popping up everywhere and little green grass peaks it's head out of the ground. I love it all. It's wonderful that the cosmetics industry knows how to do it right when it comes to putting your best foot forward. Smoky eyes are out. Bold, bright red lips are gonzo. It's time for the baby's; baby pink and baby blue, that is.
