I often wonder when the beauty industry will call “nude lipsticks” for what they are: beige. I’m guilty of it too, if only by social construction.

Will fall in full motion, now is the perfect time to have another look at the Bite Beauty Spice Things Up Collection.

As many of you may know, Nordstrom has a Karl Lagerfeld + ModelCo makeup collaboration, exclusively available on their website. I went into the store and was pleasantly surprised to find that the collection was in store! I made out with one lip product, the Lip Lights in Modern Muse, as I was initially going in there for something else.

Hey y’all! Apparently I am into holographic shiny things lately and recently went to Sephora to check out the Too Faced Mystical Effects Lipsticks. The lipsticks were strange lipstick colors, but when you swatched them, they weren’t so strange at all!

Why pick one, when you can have them all? The Bad Boy. Mr. Right. Mr. Right NOW. And of course, the Good Catch. Well, now you can with Lipstick Queen’s Dating Game Collection. I must say, as a human adult, I have gone through all of these phases of men! 😂 I just love the marketing in this collection. Have…
