Today, I want to talk about another lip product I have been living for. I also haven't seen many review on this product, so I thought I'd share my thought on it and give a lip swatch or two.
I love the Spring and one of my favorite things about this time of year is Easter. This year did not disappoint. Because of church, my day started super early so I really had no time to create an elaborate Easter look because I woke up about 45 minutes before I needed to leave out of the door. I also spent the rest of my day between brunch and visiting family and friends outside on a muggy day so less was definitely more.
Just like fashion, the way people wear their makeup changes with the season. New York Fashion week always seems to set the tone for beauty trends and provides endless inspiration to us make up lovers.
In the beauty community, there seems to be a love/hate relationship with MAC. Personally, I love every single MAC products that I own. By far the product that MAC gets right more often then not is their lipsticks. These retail for $17, but to me they are so worth it. The formula is awesome, although the lasting power depends on the formula. I find I get the most wear time out of the Matte lipsticks.
The hottest trend this spring is pastels. Now personally, I can't pull off pastel eyeshadow because it looks ashy on me. I can, however, get away with a pop of pastel on my eye in the form of eyeliner.
I love Matte lips. Even in the dead of winter (which honestly I rarely experience because it's never under 50 degrees in New Orleans) I love a matte lip. Even with my super dry skin, matte lips are just my thing. So of course when company's started releasing Liquid Lipsticks, I jumped all over that.
Now, I have tried way more brands then I like to admit, but I wanted to showcase some of my favorite formulas and colors.
Stila Stay All Day in Patina and Como
I love the mousse like consistency of this lipstick and they truly last all day on me. The color is velvety smooth and on me these do what they say they do, Stay all day. These are kind of pricey at like $22, but they are totally worth it. Especially, if you love creamy liquid lipsticks. Patina is my favorite nude pink of life and Como is the most gorgeous purple. I will insert some random pics of me wearing the shades so you know my love is real.

Lime Crime Velvetine in Utopia
Let me say, I know this company is controversial, but i really love the Velvetine formula. I love the colors in this line and I also like how these feel on my lips. I typically put on a Aquafor lip treatment before I put anything on my lips and i find this lippie pairs really well with that product.
LA girl Matte Pigment Gloss in "Timeless"
Now for me personally, the LA Girl Matte Pigment gloss is amazing. It's like 2.99 at the Beauty Supply store and the lighter colors are amazing. I own several of these and " Timeless" is my favorite Mid tone mauve pink. I will say that I have to reapply these after a meal, but I still can get a good 4 hours of wear and for the price that is good enough for me.

Milani Amore Matte Liquid Lipstick
Listen, these are hands down my favorite formula of liquid lipstick high and drugstore. The formula of the original ones are super liquidy, but when they dry down they are like a dream on the lips. They also have really good lasting power, but they come off if you eat anything oily. If you can get your hands on these, buy all the colors!! You will never need another formula of Lipstick ever!

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick
The Kat Von D liquid lipsticks are my favorite Mid range/ High End Formula. They don't flake off and they staying power is great. I put this one last because I only own Backstage Bambi and Lolita 1 and i desperately want to try other colors because these are so amazing to me. I also haven't worn this on in a while because I just have so much new makeup but i hope to pick up a few new colors soon (after no buy March!!)
Comment below some of your favorite Liquid Lipsticks so I can try them out. I have been eyeing the Mac Retro Matte Liquid Lipsticks and I also want to finally try the Anastasia Beverly Hills Lipsticks too.
