Beauty School: Lip colors for Beginners
Hey ducklings, okay I know. Lipstick is scary! What if I look like a clown? What if it gets on my teeth? I know, don't worry, I do. I've come up with a list of less scary lip products to ease your beautiful-ness into the world of lipsticks (I'm still kind of on this journey...)
1. Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter in Pink Lemonade
This lip butter was the first one I ever owned, if that tells you anything. It is a creme finish, so no sparkle. YAY! I look bad with glitter on my lips haha...
The color does come off a tinge more orange than it really is, and no it does not come off super duper pink on the lips either, its a nice "your lips but slightly pinker, and cuter" shade hahaha.
2. Almay Liquid Lip Balm in Blushing Rose
I really do NOT like lip gloss (wait till you get to number 6 haha). It's sticky and goopy and nasty, most of the time... So when I saw that Almay made a liquid lip balm I had to try it out and THANK THE LORD it is not sticky, even if you put like..... I don't know.....maybe six coats of it on..... haha.
This color like matches my lips perfectly which kind of freaks me out because this shade looks a little brown to me (aka are my lips really that brown?!?) But! Don't worry it comes off (at least on me) more rosy than brown and is the perfect neutral lip for me:)
3. Vaseline Lip Therapy in Rosy Lips
If you've never put ANY color on your lips, please start with this, unless you are super duper confident. This give the perfect pink tint to your lips without them looking like Barbie, or candy, just
the tiniest pink that is adorable. (and it hydrates your lips! Woo Hoo!)
4. Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me
This is really not as scary as it looks, on the lips it comes off as more of a subtle pinky red, than say fire engine red.
5. Jordana Twist & Shine Lip Balm Stain in Honey Love
I MAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEE it darling. Haha get it? The last picture kind of sums up, and does a better job of, what I was going to say here.......
6. Nyx Mega Shine Lip Gloss in Sugar Pie
And now you're all like "Child, what is this? you said you hate lip gloss?!" I actually said I hate MOST lip gloss but not all. On the rare occasion I actually found a brand of lip gloss I was o.k. with wearing, and this is it (obviously). This does have little shimmery flecks in it (I know, I know, I said I hated glitter too...). Clearly I am a contradiction just waiting to happen haha.
This is perfect to wear on its own, or even put it over that new lipstick you just bought that you are a wee bit scared to wear. It'll tone it down perfectly until you can rock that lipstick solo.
*Sigh* I have to go to work soon :(
