Brights Besos



I am probably one of the laziest people when it comes to putting on makeup. Don’t get me wrong I love dressing up at night and getting all glammed up, but for some reason I loathe wearing a full face of makeup every day.  At the same time, I hate that I don’t look “put together” no matter how cute of an outfit I’m wearing. . . Enter bright lipstick! This little trick has become my go-to on days where I don’t want to wear a full face of makeup but looking for a little glam factor.  All I do is put on some tinted moisturizer, dab some concealer under my eyes, finish the look with a coat of mascara and my newest obsession….orange lipstick! I used to shy away from color lipsticks because many formulas were dry and when they would wear, off my lips would be left with uneven color. I recently expressed my concerns to the salesperson at Sephora and he pointed me in the direction of YSL’s new lip stain and their notorious lipsticks {which we already loved}. Usually lip stains are very matte and dry, but not this one. It has a glossy finish and was surprisingly moisturizing.   I started with the glossy stain in #8 Orange De Chine and then topped it off with their Pure Color Satiny Radiance in #13 Le Orange {it also has SPF 15…double score}. The color lasts for hours and my lips never felt dry or cracked.  On top of it all, it's perfect for Spring.  

P.S.- Another favorite orange lipstick on a budget is Revlon's Orange Flip! 
What are your favorite bright lipsticks?

  1. How funny, this blog was posted at such a perfect time!! Just yesterday I was thinking I needed a coral shade lipstick to go w/a particular outfit and obvs I didn't have one (I'm not a huge fan of lipstick)... But I love the fact that this YSL one is like a lipstick/gloss combo.. So I can have the color w/the smooth finish of a gloss instead of the cakey matte look which I reallyyy dislike... Yay, thanks!!

  2. Haha how funny the girl up top is Tina, and I'm Atina.
    I do the same thing! With a Rose Red Lip Stain though, so it lasts all day! But lipstick + mascara really does make you look put together and alive!
