Happy Friday loves! I first just wanted to give you guys my upcoming posting schedule with the nuptials next weekend. I am planning to post Monday and Wednesday of next week but obviously won't be posting on Friday! I don't know if I have talked about it on the blog before but instead of doing a big honeymoon right after the wedding we're actually doing a "mini-moon" in the Outer Banks (NC) the week after the wedding then we're planning to go to Mexico in November. It was just too stressful for us to plan a big honeymoon RIGHT after the wedding especially since last year we just got our house! Anyway--because we just want that full week of relaxation while in the Outer Banks, I will be taking the week off from posting!
Today I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite spring lipsticks with the Sephora VIB sale going on and also there are just so many I'm loving at the moment!
Pinks:
Kylie "Candy K" Lip Kit--such a gorgeous mauve-y pink but it's very subtle. Just gives your lips a little bit of a rosy look and it's super matte. The liner that comes with it is AMAZING.
Smashbox Always On Matte Liquid Lip in "Babe Alert"--a brighter pink with more coral undertones. Definitely not too bright to wear on the daily!
Lorac Pro Matte Lip Color in "Mauve"--this is definitely a more rosy pink and is VERY comfortable on the lips. I am actually wearing this lipstick on my wedding day with
this liner in "Romantic Rose."
Nudes:
Bareminerals GEN Nude Matt Liquid Lip in "Om"--this is a nude with more brown undertones but because the brown is very warm, it makes it totally wear-able and pretty for spring! So nice with a nude gloss over top!
Ciate Liquid Velvet in "Swoon"--this nude has more of a coral undertone but it's very subtle. I wore this lipstick for my engagement photos! Linked
here.
Mac "Cherish"--I like a nude that doesn't wash you out and has a little bit of a warm undertone. This one is perfect for my olive skintone and is super comfortable on the lips. Also looks SO good with a nude gloss over top.
My two favorite nude glosses to pair with these are
this one in "Sugar Sugar" and
this one in "Bare Baby!"
Statement:
Mac "Flat Out Fabulous"--this is an awesome and super bright fuchsia lipstick! If you're a fan of the Bachelor, Kaitlyn Bristowe wore this a ton during her season. Don't ask how I know that!
Maybelline Color Sensational in "Orchid Ecstasy"--if you want a more toned down, hydrating version of "Flat Out Fabulous" this is the perfect color for you. It's still a brighter fuchsia shade BUT it's very hydrating and almost wears like a tinted chapstick so that sheers out the color in a good way.
Colourpop Lippie Stix in "I Heart This"--one of my favorite statement lip colors. It's a very pretty raspberry color! I don't think orange-y reds look good on me but the more raspberry reds work way better with my skin tone.
Mac "So Chaud"--though I just said I don't really like orange-y reds on myself, this one I actually do like! I think maybe because the orange has a little bit of yellow but it DOES work with my skin tone when I have a tan going!
