I'm obsessed with lip products (no literally, I cannot leave any store without buying a lip product) and so, it's obvious that I would have two overflowing baskets of lipsticks and lip glosses in my makeup drawer. Unfortunately, the downside to my lip product obsession is that I often lose amazing lip products to the bottom of my makeup drawer and I forget about them until they're gross and yucky. Soooo, what I've started doing for the summer is picking out certain makeup products I want to use this season and putting them in a little metal tray on my dresser so when I'm getting ready in the morning, I'll 'reach for' products instead of rumbling around my makeup drawer, picking out the same stuff on top. Make sense? So far it's working pretty well! I've been using up all the new makeup I got for the summer and have my fall/winter/spring makeup stashed in my makeup drawer. I might do a post on my summer makeup products later, so watch out for that!
But here are the lip products I currently have in my "summer makeup tray" -- gotta come up with a better name for that. They're a mix of glosses, balms, and lipsticks...but mainly glosses since I love me sheer, shiny lips during the summer. They're lightweight, make me look polished, and very low maintenance. As you can tell, I swap out my darker lip colors for more fun, vibrant pinks, corals and some nudes. While I'm scared to wear vibrant lipsticks in the fall time, they're more easy to wear in the summer because my skin gets darker and vibrant colors tend to look a little...better? Haha, not as striking against tanner skin. I do have my favorite favorites amongst this bunch, but I use each of these products pretty regularly and hope to use some of them up by the end of the summer.
