In honor of National Lipstick Day, I'm sharing my lipstick collection on here. I may consider myself a girly girl, but I'm actually not that into makeup. I don't really wear or own a lot of makeup. I only wear eyeliner and lipstick, so of the two cosmetic products, I own more lipstick.
I love the effect lipstick can have on your entire look, whether it's a bold lip or a subtle nude. I started wearing lipstick my sophomore year of college, which was about four or five years ago. I actually deciding to try it out after a bunch of elite gymnasts started wearing lipstick at USA Gymnastics meets to match/go with their leos. I wanted to channel my inner Aly Raisman and Kyla Ross, so I went to Target one day and bought two e.l.f. lipsticks to see how I'd like wearing the product. I wore lipstick once or twice as a kid when I was a flower girl and didn't like it, so I wanted to try a more wallet-friendly lipstick before I decided how I liked it.
Obviously, I ended up loving wearing lipstick and now own 14 different ones, which I'll show and tell all about below!
Kylie Jenner Velvet Liquid Lipstick - Party Girl
Liquid lipsticks are my favorite, and I've always been interested in trying a Kylie lip kit. But I never wanted to buy them online (if I could even snag one before they sold out), and they're a splurge compared to how much I normally spend on lipstick. So when they started selling them at Ulta, I decided to finally give it a try and got this coral Kylie lip kit.
I used to have a coral lipstick, but it wasn't the best, so I decided to give this coral Kylie lipstick a try. It's from the velvet collection, so it's matte, which I like. (I don't like glossy for whatever reason.) Honestly I've worn it only once because I've had some trouble figuring out how to best apply certain colors. I guess because of how tan I am and the natural color of my lips, it's been harder for me to evenly apply lighter and brighter colored lipsticks. But this one applies pretty evenly. The lip liner is great and definitely helps with application and staying. I'm for sure going to try to wear this one more before summer ends.
ColourPop Disney Designer Collection Creme Lux Lipstick - Jasmine
I love the Disney Princesses, so when I first heard about ColourPop's Disney Designer collection, I just had to have one of the lipsticks. I chose Jasmine because she's one of my top three favorite Disney princesses, and I love hot pink. (Shoutout to Broadway's original Princess Jasmine, Courtney Reed, who also loves hot pink and a bold lip!)
