Design Your Dwelling: lipstick

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.
