Get lost in my gaze with ColourPop’s Ultra Satin Lip in the shade Lost. It’s a gorgeous shade of red, a true red on my pigmented lips (it’s described as a warm red brown). This is one of the most enjoyable red lipsticks I own, and it’s ColourPop so it’s crazy cheap at $6.00.

The Estee Lauder Pure Envy Liquid Lip Potion (regularly $32.00 but on sale for $16.00) is definitely worth a try! I noticed these on sale a few weeks ago, and snagged the shade Extreme Nude, which at first sounds off-putting, but it’s actually very pretty. It’s a pinky-beige (on my skin tone) and is absolutely beautiful on my skin tone.…
