One of my favorite gifts to give, and also receive, is a beauty gift! I love these gift sets as well as individual, luxury beauty products such as this fragrance, this lipstick, and of course, this fabulous nail polish!

Everyone loves a beauty gift. You can always use something in the gift and oftentimes, the gift sets have TSA approved sizes of beauty products we all need when we travel. So, gift sets are not only fun and full of variety, they provide practical uses! Love that!

I don’t think I need to describe all of these sets; they speak for themselves. So, without further ado, here are a few fabulous beauty gift sets and luxurious gifts for the beauty fan on your list! Of course, you too! I am all about gifts to myself for Christmas. haha

Happy National Lipstick Day! This day is always a great reminder to wear your favorite lipstick! It is also a great day to start shopping for new lipstick! (I always love an excuse! haha)

Right now, my favorite lipsticks are from MAC, Chanel and YSL. I am in a huge frosted lipstick mood, so MAC’s frosted lip colors are my current go-to. In addition, I love the sheer lipstick from Chanel, they too are a huge go-to for me. I always have at least one in my handbag!

So, in order to celebrate National Lipstick Day 2024, I am sharing my favorite lipsticks with you! Which lipsticks are your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

The return of frosted lipstick

MAC Frost Lipstick

The return of frosted lipstick. Pictured from left: MAC Frost Lipstick: Angel / Plum Daddy / Fabby / nail polish /

Frosted lipstick is back! Remember in the late 1980s and early 1990s reaching for blue eyeliner and pink frosted lipstick? A can of hairspray nearby? Large hoop earrings and crop tops? Oh yeah, that look is back, minus the hairspray; and the crop tops aren’t boxy, they are form fitting. Oh, and that’s how teenagers dress, not us; except for the make-up. So, let’s talk frosted lipstick!

Frosted lipstick cycles in and out of fashion, which is fine, because we don’t invest in lipstick expecting it to last years. I mean, ew.

The look of frosted lips is iconic when tied to 1960s style and late 1980s/early 1990s style. It even had a mild resurgence in the early 2000s. Now, in 2024, it is back and the trend is strong.

Unlike the 1990s, you are not relegated to one color of frosted lipstick. Your hue doesn’t need to be pink, just a frosted color which works for you and your wardrobe, as well as your coloring. Love that!

We learned in the early 2000s that MAC cornered the market on the perfect frosted lipstick. I stand by that discovery from twenty years ago. The best way to rock the frosted lipstick trend is with a color from the MAC Frost Lipstick collection. I found three hues I love, and I will be wearing these this summer into fall.

MAC Frost Lipstick goes on smoothly and gives you just the perfect frosty coverage. Fabby reminds me of the late 1980s and early 1990s while Plum Daddy is a great hue for evenings, as well as moving into the fall season. Angel is a great alternative and perfect for daytime during the summer. Love these hues!

What do you think of the return of the frosted lipstick trend for 2024? Will you rock a frosted lip once again?

Thanks for stopping by!
