Pucker Up

Wearing Loreal Color Whisper lipstick in Mad for Magenta at the "homegate" tailgate party we hosted at our house on Saturday.

For the longest, I was a lip gloss girl. In the past couple years, though, I've transitioned primarily to lipstick. I like that it looks a little more subdued than a ton of waxy gloss and - bonus - my hair doesn't get caught in it during a high gust of wind.

During the winter, I love reds and burgundy shades because, if there's any time to amp up the color drama, it's during cooler weather.


My tried and true favorites for cooler weather:


 1. Loreal Colour Riche lipstick in British Red

2. Maybelline Color Whisper lipstick in Mad for Magenta

3. YSL Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick in 1 Nude Beige


Here's what they look like on actual lips : ) My skin has blue undertones and I freckle easily, so if you're similar, these will work on you!

Here's what the British Red (Loreal) lipstick looks like (pic taken last Thanksgiving).

These are next on my must-buy list!

Are you a lipstick girl? What are your favorite shades?

  4. I *wish* I could pull off lipstick.
    That being said - I need to dress a little more lipstick-y in order to even pull it off at all :)
    You're gorgeous... I'm going to work on that!

  5. I need to pick up a stick of the Color Whisper. I have heard great things about it.

  6. I used to be a MAC Lip Glass ONLY gal because it really *does* look awesome- but yeah. Wind would gust and all of a sudden my glasses were streaked with my gloss. Ugh. I switched to lipstick awhile back and the only one I've found that doesn't dry out my lips or feel too heavy is Clinique Different Lipstick. I LOVE 'Tenderheart'- it's the PERFECT mauvy-nude for everyday.
