Lately my Glossier pink bubble wrap pouch is hoarding my favorite lip products and according to my recent Twitter poll, it has been requested to share what’s in my makeup pouch.
When I made the switch from wearing a crossbody bag to a classic tote for work, the real estate in my LV Neverfull nearly tripled—so much so that I struggled coming up with what to fill it with. And in case you’re wondering, I comfortably fit my small agenda, a card case, coin purse, checkbook and of course my Glossier pink pouch.
As temperatures start to drop and iced coffees are swapped for piping hot cafecitos, the seasonal switch can also be applied to makeup. Shelve the summery reds and dusty pinks to make way for deep burgundys and velvety rich plums. My favorite newbies this season come from MAC’s brand new Liptensity collection – (L to R) Burnt Violet, Hellebore and Dionysus. The creamy formula has just the right amount of pigment and shine, allowing for buildable color (it can be as “hello, I’m here!” as you want). For day to day, I’m swapping my summer gloss for my old faithful standby, Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment in Passion, which is the best balance of subtle color and balmy moisture I’ve found.

I’m a firm believer that you’re never fully dressed without a swipe of lip color. My current lip wardrobe is rich in liquid lipsticks (likw Jouer and Kylie Cosmetics) and lip gloss (like Buxom and Bobbi Brown) but for those hot and humid summer days, I’m all about sheer lip color. As much as I love a rich pop of color, I don’t always want to dedicate the time to priming my lips and setting them with powder for a long-wear finish (because you know how messy that can get). For those days when I don’t want to wear heavy lip, Clinique Pop Glaze Sheer Lip Color + Primer is the perfect solution for a popsicle-stained pout. It’s equal parts moisturizing and non-drying and has just the right amount of sheer color. It’s a tinted balm, so don’t expect not to have to reapply throughout the day. There’s no question though—I’m keeping Fireball Pop and Sprinkle Pop in my Rebecca Minkoff crossbody all summer long.
Thank you, Buxom, for changing my lip party affiliation. For the longest time I’ve been a lipstick kind of gal, but after getting my hands on Buxom Full-On Lip Cream, I’ve jumped ship. I absolutely love these lip glosses. I mean—it’s an election year after all.
I have to admit—my makeup routine has been pretty dismal these last few weeks. Why? I’ve been so caught up testing new products for my skin that I realized the last time I posted a makeup review was February. That, and this past weekend was the first time I put on foundation in about two weeks. But my lips say otherwise.
I love wearing bright lipsticks (yes, lipstick > lipgloss). My lipstick color choices are always rich in bold, vibrant hues and these shades from Scorch Makeup, a new brand I recently discovered, is right up my alley.
