Hello everyone and Happy July!
I hope everyone has been having a fabulous start to the month! We had a great 4th filled with way too many fireworks purchased by my husband, and a fun quick getaway with the boys this past weekend to Marco Island! Time is suddenly flying; you light a sparkler and suddenly it’s almost mid-month!
After a maternity-hiatus, I’m so excited to say I’m back to writing my beauty column for the Lifestyle Media Group magazine for South Florida and this month’s column is all about Lip Service! One of the biggest focuses in my everyday beauty regimen, during both day and night, is my lips. Whether it’s a balm to keep them moisturized or a lipstick to transform my outfit (and mood), I’m always looking for the next latest and greatest lip products, which is why I’ve rounded up some of my current favorites for you! See below for all of my current top lip product picks for the perfect pout!
Aesthetica Long Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick:
Aesthetica has made a name for itself with its contouring and highlighting kits, but I’m just as sold on these liquid lipsticks. They can be worn day or night and are formulated to last for hours, without drying out. Readers can receive 50 perfect off all items (yes, 50% off off!!) using the promotional code LIVELOVE50. $16; www.aesthetica.me
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Sunscreen SPF 15:
This product moisturizes, provides SPF and gives you a subtle but buildable color – perfect for wearing during the day! Suggested colors: Poppy, Tulip, and Berry. $24; Sephora, Nordstrom
NARS Audacious Lipstick:
A Hall of Fame brand when it comes to lipstick formulas, these NARS lipsticks (with 40 plus colors) glide on smoothly and are so pigment rich you can wear them without a lip liner. The color lasts, and your lips never feel dry. $34; Sephora, Department Stores, www.narscosmetics.com
Urban Decay Meltdown Makeup Remover Lip Oil Stick:
The the downside to long-lasting lipsticks is that you fear the color may really never wear off. This powerful-yet-gentle makeup remover stick is designed for such products. It will leave your lips hydrated and replenished. $15; Sephora, Ulta
MAC Prep + Prime Lip:
As avid lipstick users will attest, this is one of the Holy Grail products and I wouldn’t dare apply a swipe of lipstick without it! It smoothes out my lips and adds moisture, creating the perfect canvas for any shade to be applied on top. It also keeps my lipstick in place, an absolute must have! $17.50; MAC stores, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom
Cheers to an awesome month!
Xo,
Leah
