A Lipstick Girl in a Gloss World

It's true.  I am a lipstick girl in a gloss world and my collection is quite extensive.  I carry all of them with me, in my purse, in a clear make up pouch.  This usually makes people laugh a little but the truth is I never really know what kind of lipstick mood I am in.  I love the rich color of lipstick and finished, polished look it gives and re-applying it throughout the day helps to make me feel fresh and pulled together.

Here is a sampling of my collection - as you can tell, I'm not brand loyal either! :)

Lately I've been playing favorites!  Here are my go-to lip colors.

Maraschino Cherry by MAKE is my favorite red.  I got this little sample in my Birchbox and this sample is lasting me quite a while.  This color stays on for a long time.  It's the perfect shade of red for me!

Sassy Mauve by REVLON is a color I wear day to day.  At first I wasn't sure if I liked it but it goes with nearly everything.  The lipstick itself feels soft on my lips and lasts quite a while.

Pink Quartz by MAYBELLINE is a great pink color and one that is easy to mix with any other lip color.  It doesn't have quite the lasting power of the other two but I still love it.

Caribbean Kiss by LAURA GELLER is another lipstick I got in a Birchbox.  This lipstick is actually two colors.  One side is a bronze color and the other is pink.  Because it's two-in-one you can get a soft subtle look or a bold look depending on how you apply it.  

When I want to freshen up or extend my lipstick wear I add this clear gloss lip shine by CO Bigelow.  It works like a charm and acts click a chap stick.  You can grab this one at Bath and Body Works. 

This is my color of choice today.  Even though I'm working from home, I still put on a little lipstick! :)

I'm still on the hunt for the perfect wedding day lip color.  I'm looking for a pink that is not too bright and not too dark.  Any suggestions?!
