what's your favorite lipstick

Today we are talking about LIPSTICK. It seems only fitting to have a post dedicated to lipstick! One thing I love about lipstick is it can change your appearance in seconds, it will put a smile on your face and no matter what size you are, lipstick always fits. You can never have too many shades of lipstick. I think lipstick is definitely a girl’s best friend. Today we have our beautiful friend Cassaundra from THE BLUE CLOSET sharing her favorite shades of lipstick with us. Get ready to be in lipstick heaven. I’ve tested some of these out and I ended up buying the Tom Ford lipstick in sable smoke. It’s the perfect everyday color and it lasts for a couple hours.

i love to try new lipsticks in all colors but when it comes down to my day to day color… i have a bit of a NUDE LIPSTICK hoarding issue. i decided to narrow it down to my favorite 10 and then my all time top 3 colors…and then i will obsessively explain how i justify my issue.

have you been to space nk? i quite literally stumbled upon this beauty shop while heading to the grocery store in montecito with my sister in law. it is like a really fancy beauty product store with all the fancy names you cannot pronounce and don’t want to try to pronounce because they look spency but you are dying to try them because you have read about them and maybe just maybe one of them is the miracle you have been looking for. there is one amazing component to this store that sucks you in, the sales lady. she was the sweetest, most helpful and knowledgable sales person i have ever met. She had us at such ease and didn’t make us feel dumb at all for not knowing these european brands. in fact she gave us tips and tricks and samples while expertly guiding us all through the store, mixing this and dabbing on that. needless to say our “running to the grocery store” trip took much longer then expected.

she told us the best way to find your nude color is to hold up your ring finger and the lipstick side by side. they should be closely matching in color. boom! love a little nugget like that.

i slipped in another great one by Loreal here, Fairest Nude, to the right of Bobbi Brown

so which are at the top of my list? i find myself reaching for these three the most:

Nars Honolulu Honey, Tom Ford Sable Smoke & Tom Ford Spanish Pink

Nars Honolulu Honey-– I love this one because it is a little peachy. i find myself constantly swirling it on my cheeks to freshen up mi
d day.

Tom Ford Sable Smoke & Spanish Pink – I know it is expensive. it is and it is very similar to
Bobbi Brown and Hourglass. However, Tom Fords lipsticks stay on so much longer then most, like mine usually last 4-6 hours. and the texture is just dreamy. dreamy i tell you. they are hard to find though. i almost always order online because they are sold out in the store every time. I love Bobbi Brown and use it often but if i want a lipstick work horse, its Tom Ford. so if lipstick is in the budget, i go with Mr. Ford, if not i have 9 other lovely options available. justification complete.
