Who loves a no- makeup, makeup look? US! Who loves a full glam makeup look? US! Who loves a bare face and glossy lip? US! We love just about all the looks you can think of. We both can agree that a good lipstick is like finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. There are sooooooo many good ones out there and we can't wait to hear about all of them! From balm, to gloss, to lipstick, to tint, here are our go-tos...

I am a pink/nude lippy kind of gal! I really think these colors are so flattering on all skin tones. Like Amber, I love my cream lipstick but also love my tinted chapsticks. To be honest, lips are my favorite part of my makeup routine. So, I take my lipsticks very seriously. I also have very dry lips, but with the help of my girl Amber who introduced me to the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (wake up to baby smooth lips) saved my lips! Here are my budget friendly favorites!
For no makeup or natural days, I love me a tinted chapstick. I suggest Kopari Lip Glossy in Sangria, this is so moisturizing and very glossy! Glossier Matte Lip Stick in Crush & Buxom Lip Powder in Darling Dolly are the perfect shade of light pink. Yet these two are on the matte side, so I top it off with Vaseline Lip Rosy (super budget friendly). These magical beauties are my secret to feeling confident on a no makeup day! Did someone say send nudes? I got the perfect nudes right here! Glossy nude? The BalmJour Creamy Lip Stain in Hola. Matte Nude? MAC Satin Lipstick in Cherish. Now summer days mean bright pinks! L'oreal Infallible Paints in Spicy Blush is perfect for that night out, very glossy and a beautiful nude/pink color! Now if we are talking about making a statement, then use The BalmJour Creamy Lip Stain in Ciao. It is simply a bright pink that will make you stand out!

As I've already mentioned I LOVE a good cream lipstick. I'm not a huge matte lipstick fan because I have mega dry lips, and I honestly haven't found one that doesn't feel like its stripping my lips of its natural moisture. When shopping for lipsticks, I tend to go for a peachy nude or subtle coral. I like wearing warmer shades on my lips. I don't go for a straight nude because I don't necessarily like feeling or looking washed out hahah... From going to top to bottom these are the swatches of my favorite lippys.
To start us off at the top I have my two Dior Rouge Lipsticks in the shade 169 Grege and 028 Actrice. 169 is a neutral peachy color and 028 is more of a pinky melon color. Both finishes are...CREAM! You guessed it! The next texture is my Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in the original flavor. I apply this every night before I go to sleep, and the next morning my lips are baby soft! That is not an exaggeration either. Moving on to my favorite lip oil is the Kopari Coconut Lip Glossy. This stuff smells AMAZING and makes your lips look extra juicy. Not to be materialistic but my next favorite is also from Dior. The Dior Lip Glow in the shade Pink Glow adds the perfect color to your lips. It naturally adds the perfect tint to your natural lip color! I'm running low on the one I have so I'm definitely repurchasing. The next lip gloss that I love is the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm. This is the gloss version of their lip sleeping mask and its a must have in your collection. My flavor is in grapefruit but I'd love to try the berry as well. My last swatches are probably the most expensive but sooo worth it. They are from Chanel and they are the Rouge Coco Gloss in the shade 744 Subtil and 119 Bourgeoisie. Shade 744 is a perfect neutral peach shade (surprise surprise) and shade 119 is a tad bit deeper with a plum undertone. I can't live without them and I suggest you get them despite their price tag.
