Happy National Lipstick Day 2016! In honor of lipstick everywhere, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite lipsticks of the moment, as well as one fun fact about lipstick!

Fun fact: “Egyptians like Cleopatra crushed bugs to create a colour of red on their lips.” (Source Google via Wikipedia)

Can you imagine wearing crushed bugs on your lips? I can’t. Ew! It is incredible to learn what women did for fashion in ancient times. Who knows, maybe someday future humans will look at our high heels as some sort of weird torture device. Ha! But I digress. . .

I am a huge fan of pink lipstick, and soft brown lipstick. I prefer matte, and sheer lipsticks, over cream; and I always look for a blue based shade, they help make teeth look whiter. Love that!

Fall 2016 is all about red nail  polish, and red lipstick. I am not a big red lipstick person, or red nail polish fan, so I will be skipping this trend in favor of my tried and true pink or brown lipstick hues. For the end of summer, and early fall, the lipsticks pictured above will be my go-to shades.

I definitely reach for Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa the most, with Chanel Melancholie being my next go-to lipstick. Chanel Mighty, and Energy, were my go-to lipsticks earlier in the spring season, but they have both gone missing! I suspect my daughter has snatched them up; she is famous for stealing my nail polishes. I need to watch her more closely. .

Last week, I bought MAC Fabby, and Charlotte Tilbury Kidman’s Kiss for transitioning into the fall season. Watch for upcoming reviews of these two lipsticks. I’m really excited about these two colors, and the formulas are fabulous!

What are your favorite lipsticks? Happy National Lipstick Day 2016!

My favorite lipsticks:

Charlotte Tilbury’s matte revolution lipstick is one of my favorite lipstick lines. As you know, matte lips are a huge beauty trend for spring and summer this year. This makes Charlotte Tilbury’s matte revolution lipstick collection the perfect go-to line for a matte cream lipstick.

Pink also happens to be right on trend for spring and summer 2016. So when I spotted Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Between the Sheets lipstick, I knew it would be the perfect pale pink for the season. I love it!

Between the Sheets is a fabulous pale pink lipstick which glides on smooth, is nourishing, and lasts until you eat. I love the 60s era pink hue, and how it wears! Charlotte Tilbury Between the Sheets will be a perfect lipstick for both the spring and summer seasons. Love!

Pink is an important color in both apparel and beauty for spring/summer 2016. Not only is it tied to the color of the year, it is being shown in everything from pastel hues through bright colors for both seasons. This makes Between the Sheets by Charlotte Tilbury an easy color to wear this season since it plays well with every shade of pink.

Charlotte Tilburry Kissing lipstick is one of my favorite lipsticks to wear. It is always moisturizing, long lasting, and available in fabulous colors which work perfectly with the current season’s color palette. For spring 2016, I love Charlotte Tilbury Kissing Kiss Chase lipstick. It is the perfect pinkish red for the warm weather season.

Spring 2016 is all about shades of pink, red, and blue. Designers are showing vivid hues, and classic pastels in their collections. This calls for an easy shade of pinkish red lipstick which blends well with all of these shades. Charlotte Tilbury Kissing Kiss Chase is the ideal pinkish red lipstick for the job!

Although I tend to reach for pink lipsticks, Kiss Chase from Charlotte Tilbury’s Kissing lipstick collection is the perfect red for someone like me who prefers pink lipstick. It isn’t too red, or bright, which makes it an easy red shade to wear. The pinkish undertones make it a great bridge from pink to red for those of us who are more into pink lipstick then red lipstick.

The Kissing collection by Charlotte Tilbury also happens to be long lasting. This is fabulous news; because who wants to constantly reapply their lipstick? Not me!

If you love Kiss Chase as much as I do, you can find it online here. For the entire Charlotte Tilbury Kissing collection, you can find it online here.
