It's Spring in My Mind!

Ok, so I'm starting to get Spring fever! Flipping through various beauty magazines is adding fuel to my fire. Featured are gorgeous colors that seem to pop off the page.

One trend that I have read about in several places are melon-colored lips. At first glance, I didn't think a lot of people, including myself, could pull this color off. However, there are many products/brands to choose from, so you can find your right shade, coverage, etc.

What I'm loving right now is N.Y.C.'s (New York Color) Smooch Proof 16 Hour LipStain in "Endless Spice", topped with N.Y.C. Kiss Gloss in "Murray Hill Melon". Each can be worn separately for a softer effect, but I like to layer them for a little more pop of color and staying power.

Another N.Y.C. Kiss Gloss that Allure magazine recommends is "Park Avenue Punch". These fresh colors are guaranteed to put a little "Spring" in your step. Also, the cheap price tag makes trying multiple colors a little less risky for your pocket book.They're available at Walmart and the lip stain retails for around $4.99 and the Kiss Gloss around $3.00.

 

Show me pictures of your freshly glossed lips!
