July is all about the lips and this month I’ve been enjoying glossy lips from Covergirl and Laneige.
Affordable, adorable, and portable is the newest launch from Covergirl. The cult-classic Squishy lipgloss formula is ultra glossy without the stickiness or oiliness that other glosses have.
The shade Fudge Brown makes my brown skin and eyes POP when paired with a swipe of mascara and a tinted moisturizer. When I’m craving sparkles Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough elevates my brown lip liner looks with minimal effort (but major payoff). The Squishy glosses curb my craving for sweet treats and leave my lips hydrated and shiny. A total win for glosses this summer.
The fan-fav Lip Sleep Mask from Laneige launches in a summery-fruit duo of Açaí Mango Smoothie. The lip mask gives total Caribbean vibes with tropical flavors and a swirl of yellow and purple. I apply it with the little scooper onto my lips and it gives a nice sheen before bed. In the AM my lips are plump and hydrated. Following up with the matching Lip Glowy Balm is a treat to channel my inner island girl fantasy. The first mult-color formula adds a sheer violet tint to my lips and leaves my pout kissable well into the night.
An oldie-but-oh-so-goodie is the Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon from ILIA Beauty. A double-duty product that lines the lips and gives a healthy dose of color when filled in. I’ve been having fun with the colors Gala and Case Study. Gala is a sensual addition under my Covergirl glosses for a rosy-nude moment. While Case Study, a power-move rouge, is amped up with the Lip Glowy Balm. When I need quick color that last all day this crayons are fool-proof and life-proof. Between drinking mocktails, eating lunch with my girls, or expressing myself during a meeting or poetry night: I’m all good with this tried-and-true lippie.
