i remember a time when i used to love dark lipstick from afar… i was obsessed with makeup, collected it, but never wore it. as i got older that slowly started to change, and now i can say that i embrace darker lips with open arms (and a bit of reapplication). fall is around the corner, and the season of berry lips is upon us. it’s time to rejoice and get stocked up. i tend to stick to wearing jeans, a white sweater and lip or all black… a.k.a. sometimes i really go for it if i’m in the mood. when using berry lipstick, lipliner or primer is your best friend. seriously. fading, smudging, lipstick on your face, etc. are a few looks which aren’t exactly top-notch. let’s not forget about getting it on your teeth, which i have been a victim of (wipe off the inside of your lips or lick the inside of your lips to create a “barrier” of sorts.

when i first put together my favorite red shades of lip products i realized it was actually kind of fun laying them all out. so i moved on to doing my favorite nude colors, and now we’re at pink. i tend to favor deep pinks, bright pinks, and blush pinks over the kind of  bubblegum pinks that tend to be more chalky. throughout the years i’ve learned what works for me and what doesn’t… i’m glad i now understand that a pepto bismol pink isn’t my best color and should not be a part of my beauty routine. i just wish i had known that earlier, but what’s a young preteen to do…

as you all may know, i’m a bit of a lipstick/lipgloss/lip anything fiend. hence the name of my blog. a little while ago i did a post on my favorite red lip colors, and i thought i would share some of my favorite nude lip colors. on average i have around 3 or 4 lip products in my bag at all times… it’s not planned that way, it just happens, i swear. i love nude lips because of how simple and effortless they are, but they’re also great for any look. i usually wear nude lips when i go out or when i go to class, and they just make me feel put together. (i also wear lip balm a ton, so i guess that really is a true nude lip…)

spring break lust list

a choker that i love in theory, but probably won’t ever wear | a big fan of these aviators | this (in the polynesian print) could be a coverup or even a dress | i love bright lips, especially when it’s sunny and warm | the perfect beach bag | channeling my inner beach babe with this necklace | these shoes are great, plain and simple | one of my favorite warm weather makeup items | a hat to stop sunburn | something to manage my hair | SPF is 100% necessary for my skin and this stuff is my favorite

spring break is less than a week away, and this is the first time i will ever be leaving the country. so not only am i going on my first (and last) college spring break, but i will be traveling outside of america for the first time. there won’t be any posts up on here while i’m gone, but i’ll definitely have pictures after!

over the years i have accumulated a lot of lipsticks, and they’re something that i really like. scratch that, they’re something that i love. i will admit it took me a while to wear color outside of my house a.k.a. outside of doing makeup tutorials in my bathroom. it’s not something i always do (especially because i stick to my favorite nude colors, like mac faux or urban decay naked lipgloss), but there’s something special about a red lip. i know, i know, that sounds so cliched, but it’s true. red lipstick instantly transforms an outfit, and can help make you look put together… especially if you’re feeling otherwise.  that little collage below are some of my favorites that are tried and true, and a post on red lips just seems like the perfect way to kick off february.

the lust list classics

 

anything and everything inslee // the coolest speaker i have ever seen // hand towels that get a little wild // the perfect everyday bag // the ultimate red lipstick // these booties are the definition of lustworthy // i’m not usually a pearl earring kind of girl, but i love these 

there’s obviously a theme here… a little bit of classic red, sleek black, pearls, and some basics. this year i have worn a lot more black clothing than i used to. there’s something so easy about throwing on a black leather skirt and top or even a black dress. it looks like you’re put together, even though i might have just rolled out of bed. add in a red lip, and you’re good to go. from the title of my blog you may be able to tell i have a thing for lipstick, and that’s an understatement. i love lip color, whether it’s plum or nude, and i especially love bite’s products. they make insanely pretty lip colors and they smell amazingly good. lisi lerch’s earrings are a dupe for oscar de la renta’s tassel earrings, and won’t destroy your wallet. also they’re not heavy, even though they look otherwise. if you want a unique speaker that sounds UNBELIEVABLY GOOD, restoration hardware has you covered. seriously. i went into the store, plugged in my phone, and sat there listening to “all i want” by kodaline for a good amount of time (not dramatic at all). plus, it’s completely natural… no electricity needed. finally, i will continue to dream about those shoes and that bag, and one day when i have my own place i will be getting those hand towels.

beauty faves

bite matte creme lip crayon in aubergine is unreal  // maybelline the nudes palette (i use it more than urban decay’s naked) // l’oreal nude ballet lipgloss is one of my favorite natural lip colors // urban decay perversion mascara is next level // benefit’s gimme brow is great if you don’t want anything too intense // makeup for ever’s aqua liner in black is the best liquid liner i’ve used // nars cruising lipstick is the best nude // perfekt skin perfection gel is “perfekt” (sorry i had to) // mac cubic blush is my go-to for natural flush // tarte lively is worth it, trust me 

if you couldn’t tell by the name of my blog, i love makeup. when i was younger i played with makeup more than any little girl should, and once youtube videos started featuring makeup tutorials i watched them all the time, kind of obsessively. i’ve definitely mentioned on here that i used to post makeup tutorials on polyvore, but that is something i will not be revealing, you’ll have to find those on your own. i’m saving you all from that, like that time i did black swan (really cool, but really extreme). since i can remember i’ve wanted to work in the cosmetic industry, even if i didn’t know what that would entail when i was younger, but these past two summers i’ve interned for l’oreal and loved it. when i applied to georgetown’s business school it was through a paper on the beauty industry and its global influence. random, i know, but it’s my thing. i think you would expect me to always have my makeup done, but i can promise you i’m the opposite. all i need is mascara and my favorite lip product and i’m good to go for class. that doesn’t mean i don’t like different products and looks… i definitely do, ask my mom, but at this point i know what products i love and are my “holy grail” go-to’s.

school bagimagine this scenario… day one of classes my bag is neatly organized filled with all of my essentials, as you can see in the picture above. by week two or three my bag is either completely overstuffed and causing me back problems or it’s totally underpacked and i’m missing a water bottle or a notebook or even the key to my apartment (not good). currently i’m at the stage where my bag is stocked and i have everything i need, but who knows how much longer that will last. for the time being, these are a few of the things i keep in my school bag:

my favorite planner (i go back to it year after year) // the best notebooks i’ve used // my  favorite pens // my go-to breakfast when i’m racing to class // the best perfume to use throughout the day // this water bottle is a godsend // portable chargers are always necessary // the keychain that keeps me from getting locked out // my favorite natural lip product in madeira (and it’s moisturizing too, which is a win)
