Lipstick Essentials

In honor of national lipstick day which was yesterday..oops! I want to share my favorite lipsticks with all of you!  Not sure about you guys, but as I get a little older I find it necessary to wear something on my lips everyday.  Even if it's not super bright or noticeable color, it helps add a little pop to my face.  I'm not an expert with glosses so I can't give my opinion there but I will share my favorite lipsticks and other products I use.

Type- Lip Stick
Brand- Urban Decay
Shade-Back Talk
Where to buy- Sephora, Ulta, Department Stores

Back Talk was one of the most sold shade lipsticks of 2018 (TY to my beauty PR friend @kyliedaniels for that fun fact!)  The color is just so great!  It is a shade that is not too crazy to wear on the daily but it also stands out enough that it is definitely noticeable.  It is a mostly pink shade with some slight purple undertones.  I have yet to find a color that is similar to this one.  Only negative is it is slightly matte so can dry your lips out so I suggest applying a chapstick under first to moisturize properly!

Type- Lip Stick
Brand- Rimmel
Shade- 170 Alarm
Where to buy- CVS, Rite Aid (Drug stores)

What is better than finding one of the best makeup products you use at drug store prices?!  Not a whole lot...   Whenever I wear this lipstick I get SO many compliments and I swear I've had it for about 10 years... The texture of this lipstick is amazing so it is unlike a lot of the red lipsticks that tend to make your lips feel like the sahara...  It is long lasting and perfect when you want to make a big impression but since it is a very intense red... wear at your own risk!


Triple Luxe Long Lasting Naturally Moist Lipstickâ„¢

Type- Lip Stick
Brand- Jane Iredale
Shade- Molly- Soft Peach Nude
Where to buy- Mostly online (select retail stores)

Into the clean beauty trend?  This brand is for you!  It is hard for me to find a nude color that doesn't make me look too washed out but this shade has just enough peach undertones that it looks great whether I'm tan or a little on the paler side.  It also is moisturizing which is a plus so I use it almost as a shiney glass!

Pro Derma Roller Cosmetic Needling Instrument For Face, 540 Titanium Micro Needle 0.25mm - Includes Free Storage Case

Type- Lip Plumper
Brand- Dermaroller
Where to buy- Amazon

Call me crazy but I think that using a dermaroller on my lips makes a huge difference.  I look and feel like my lips have more volume the next day.  Sticking thousands of microneedles into your lips can definitely be intimidating for some people (lol) and if that is the case I have a less invasive lip plumping solution below!


Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme 0.14 oz/ 4 mL

Type- Lip Plumper
Brand- Too Faced
Shade-  High Shine Finish
Where to buy- Sephora, Ulta

This plumper smells amazinggg and definitely works but I do feel like it never lasts as long as I want it to!  Another con is that the gloss can be sticky so just don't wear it on a windy day if you have your hair down because there is nothing truly more annoying..  Overall though it is a great product that will give you the short term benefits of a plumper looking pout!


Kiehl's Since 1851 Women's Buttermask For Lips

Type- Lip Mask
Brand- Kiehls
Where to buy- Department Stores, Kiehls, Sephora

When I say I just started using this product I literally mean it as in like three days ago.  BUT, I already am obsessed with it so you're welcome :)
I just put a small amount before bed and wakeup with my lips feeling moisturized and plumped!
