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!

Reve de Chanel nail polish spring 2022 act II

The Chanel Act II beauty collection for spring 2022 is here! Reve de Chanel is a feminine and flirty beauty collection which celebrates classic spring pastels in a fresh and fun way for the spring 2022 season. Love that!

There are three vivid pastel hues in the Reve de Chanel nail polish collection for late spring. Chanel Onirique is a sweet and pale pastel pink, perfect for the office or to wear as an understated neutral. If you prefer a more avant-garde look on your nails, Chanel Utopie is a soft orange cream hue which offers a vivid orange pastel; perfect to pair with a bright orange power suit this spring season! For those of us who like fun colors on our nails, the Reve de Chanel nail polish collection offers Chanel Evanescence nail polish which is a vivid lilac. It’s feminine, fun, and works well with all of the spring color palates we are seeing from designers. Love!

The three nail polish colors from the Reve de Chanel beauty collection are cream polishes. While they offer good color saturation with two coats, you might opt for three coats for a deeper hue which matches the bottle. I am showing all three nail polish colors with one base coat, and two coats of color.

So, without further ado, here are the three nail polish colors from the Reve de Chanel beauty collection for late spring 2022.

Chanel Utopie nail polish | Reve de Chanel spring 2022

How pretty is this pastel orange hue for spring! Chanel Utopie nail polish reminds me of an orange creamsicle, and it offers a fun, vivid pastel hue for the spring season. If you like colors which push the envelope, this is your hue!

Chanel Onirique nail polish | Reve de Chanel spring 2022

Chanel Onirique nail polish is the perfect pale pink for daily wear. If you work in a professional environment, or you prefer timeless hues on your nails, this is your late spring nail polish. Although I show it with two coats of color, I would suggest using three coats for more color saturation. This color is so pale, you can see the tops of my nails through it with only two coats. Three coats would offer better coverage.

Chanel Evanescence nail polish | Reve de Chanel spring 2022

This is my favorite color from the Reve de Chanel nail polish collection! Isn’t it beautiful??? Chanel Evanescence is a vivid lilac color which mixes classic spring with a slightly edgy vibe. I love this color, plus, it looks fabulous with my bright blue power suit. Love that!

The Reve de Chanel beauty collection also offers a few new Rouge Coco lipstick hues as well as an eye quad and finishing powder. I needed a new eye quad for the new year, so I snapped up Imaginaire for the spring season. It offers four neutral hues which are easy to wear day or night. I also love this new lipstick hue, Halo. It’s a fun, sheer lilac which plays well with my bright blue power suit. I am all about this blue blazer right now!
