Maybelline Plumper Please Shaping Lip Duo

I love the options this simple little dual-ended Maybelline Plumper Please Shaping Lip Duo provide! One end is a chunky lip pencil that can easily double as a stand-alone lipstick with a soft matte finish, and the other end houses a high-shine plumping gloss. They can be used together, or stand-alone depending on your mood. Not mentioned by the brand is the fact that this product wears extremely well! After a day of wearing mine and sipping iced tea all day, my lip duo had faded a bit but was still looking good!

Essence Cosmetics Kiss The… Lipsticks

These fun Essence Cosmetics Kiss The… Lipsticks are something for you and your tween daughter to fight over! They’re really more of a lightly tinted lip balm. Each is named after a mythical creature, and features a fun and frivolous color in the tube. Once applied, the color morphs into a natural looking blushy pink the instant it touches your lips. These lipsticks have a nourishing feel to them, and deliver sheer shiny color!

Essence Cosmetics Ultra Last Instant Colour Lipstick

When I see lipstick with the brand’s logo embossed into it, my first thought is EXPENSIVE. Well Essence Cosmetics Ultra Last Instant Colour Lipstick boasts that expensive looking design, without the expensive price! These lipsticks are creamy dreamy bursts of high-pigment color that won’t break your budget (or even come close)! They also happen to be cruelty-free, for my readers who avoid brands that test on animals.

Liquid lipstick is here to stay, and one of my new favorites is Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in the shade Patina. This rosy mauve is a fantastic choice for any season. It’s perfect when you’re looking for something natural without being truly neutral. The Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick line has dozens of colors to pick from, and multiple finishes too! This particular shade of lipcolor dries to a modern soft matte.

Maybelline Tattoo Studio Brow Tint Pen

Brows are still a big focus in the world of beauty. One of my latest obsessions is the Maybelline Tattoo Studio Brow Tint Pen. The felt-tip applicator has a serrated design that creates the most natural-looking brow fill! The color delivered is soft and natural, and wears for 24 hours! I’m always a fan of the little things, and I’ll tell you I love that I don’t need a sharpener on hand to use this product. Is it just me, or do brow pencils constantly need to be sharpened?
