3 Everyday Lipsticks For The Everyday Girl

We can talk about the glitter & glam side of makeup all day, and it’s very easy to go that direction with all the new products constantly coming out.  The dramatic cat eye, holiday glitter shadow, cut cheekbones, ultra-defined brows, & the fluffiest fake eyes lashes are all EXCITING, but how realistic are they for the average girl heading to her office in the morning with -15 minutes to get ready?

Let’s get real.

I overlook these 3 lipsticks, even though I use them everyday, thinking they’re nothing special.  Meh.  No glitter, jazz, top brand, bold color – just simple.  BUT, a staple that’s realistic for every single day so important they are, indeed.

Personally, I wake up in the morning with NUDE ass lips, I think nude might be giving my lips too much credit.  They’re more, transparent?  Not my favorite look?  I know the nude lip trend is “on” but maybe because I have nude skin, nude hair, nude eyebrows, nude eyelashes, the nude (you-can’t-even-see-it) lip isn’t working. Looks a little mortally if we’re being honest.  MUST. HAVE. COLOR. To prove I have life.

However, not a lip stain that sucks the life out of your lip, not a bold color that’s going to make the coworkers think I had a mental breakdown, and not a gloss that I have to reapply every 15 minutes – something simple, neutral, moisturizing, pretty & easy.

THESE 3 LIPSTICKS ARE YOUR ANSWER

Keep in mind, VERY IMPORTANT, I always always always apply my favorite Chapstick BEFORE I apply any of the lip products below.  Moisturizing is essential, mostly for comfort.  I can’t go a full day without a fantastic chapstick application.  First chapstick, THEN lipstick.

3 Everyday Lipsticks For The Everyday Girl

1:: Milani in 23 Nude Creme:  My bestie.  I used to keep this in my drawer at work to throw on if I forgot in the morning, or after lunch.  This lipstick is truly my go-to.  Super affordable, moisturizing, and the color looks extremely natural.  A big perk to this specific color?  It really makes your teeth pop WHITE!  Who doesn’t love that?  Whether I’m whiter than Casper the ghost or ultra tan from my 25 day Mexican Beach Vacation (aka Loving Tan Self Tanner), Milani 23 Nude is my must-have lip product.

2:: ColorPop Echo Park Liquid Lip:  This product is a liquid lip so it may seem like a curve ball here, but let me tell you more.  If you’re someone looking for a lip product that is going to stick around & won’t rub off as easily as the others – this is your answer.  I’ve worn this lip stain so often the color rubbed off the bottle, it took me a while to figure out exactly what to recommend.  I barely put a dot of this lip color on my lips, then rub it around, over my chapstick of course, and it STAYS!  It has a matte finish which is a good option if you’re not a creamy lipstick girl.  I’ve tried other Colorpop lip stain colors & this is hands down my favorite, & the only one I use.  It’s comfortable, makes the white of your teeth pop, and works on a range of skin tones, if you’re asking me… LOVE IT!

3: Beautycounter Sheer Lipstick:  I dedicated an entire post to Beautycounter earlier in the year & it’s absolutely still worth a read (HERE) because this lipstick makes it’s entrance.  If you do prefer a little color, rather than a natural lip color, this is what you’re looking for.  The color isn’t overwhelming but does give you a noticeable pop!  The lasting power is impressive & it’s the most comfortable lip product to wear leaving a moisturizing finish that makes your lips look ripe.  I know it’s a little pricey but it’s 100% worth it & I don’t say that often with expensive products.  For winter I’m ordering “Plum – True Berry”, but I own the color “Poppy” and am OBSESSED.  You can also rest safe with this beauty product because it’s all safe ingredients.

EVERY SINGLE DAY!  I own 308 lip products but use one or all of the above three every single day, not exaggerating.  They’re perfect.  If you skip your lips completely in the morning, may I suggest you try one of these lip products?  Lip color looks awake, ready, alive, alert & polished.  Once you start, you’ll be using them every day!

What are your every single day, can’t live without beauty products?  Let me know!

I put up the Christmas tree & a shit ton of twinkle lights that I’ll likely leave forever… I’m also brainstorming an idea for something w similar attributes of a Christmas Tree that I can leave all year.  You know?  The ornamental, ribbon, bows, lights, ect – I’m into this.

Have a great December! Be thoughtful
