We all know colored lips are all the rage right now. From hot pink, to orange, to red, lips have become a fun vehicle to add a pop of color to any ensemble. And because I am a gloss girl (you can read about my adoration for Chanel lip gloss here) and always tend to gravitate towards a nude, glossy lip, this has been a hard trend for me to embrace-and not based on look (I love wearing a bright lip), but rather on comfort (I hate how drying lipstick can be!). That said, I have tried several lipsticks, specifically MAC and L’Oreal, based on my favorite fashion magazine and blogger recommendations, but I didn’t fall in love with any of them. So when a consultant at the bareMinerals counter recently tried to convince me to try their new Pretty Amazing lip color, I agreed-solely because I was sold on the gorgeous shade of red she was offering.
And boy am I glad that I gave it try! This product absolutely lives up to its name. It is a hybrid between a gloss and a lipstick so while it has a fully pigmented color, it isn’t drying, and has the creamy texture of a gloss but it isn’t sticky. The precision applicator allows for you to apply without a lip liner (which is how I use it) and its staying power is down right impressive. Plus the colors are vibrant and beautiful. Pretty Amazing, right?
So if you are looking to try a bright lip for the first time, or if you are looking to try a new product, this is the one ladies. Strength (red), Ambition (fuchsia), and Moxie (baby pink) are my favorite shades as far as brights go, but they have some fantastic nude and neutral shades as well. Plus they look great when you layer a gloss over them. Chanel is still my number one choice for gloss, but I also like the bareMinerals Moxie and Buxom glosses too.
Tip: I put on chapstick (yes, I am 5 and still use Lip Smackers) before I apply anything to my lips, whether it be a gloss or a lipstick. It helps the product go on more evenly, and makes it more comfortable on the lips thus extending the wear.
Summer is the perfect time to rock those bright lips, and now that you have insight to such a great product, there is no excuse not to try this hot trend-so get out there and dress up those beautiful kissers!!
Happy weekend dolls!!
