A Kiss On Your Lips

With Valentine's Day approaching, romance is top of mind. What's more romantic than kissable lips?

Even if you currently don't have a Valentine, we can all buy ourselves our own flowers AND lipstick! So I have gathered a collection of pretty products that your lips will love.

I love anything Nars! This color, Devotion, is soft and sexy. The formula is actually good for your lips with shea butter, mango, coconut oil, and more.  Available in 12 terrific shades.

MAC Cosmetics Cremesheen Lipstick

This is the lipstick and shade that I wear most days. It's called Creme d Nude, though there are 9 other shades. It's very comfortable on with a light sheen.

MAC Cosmetics

Gucci Long Lasting Satin Lipstick

I have not tried this brand yet, but it's Gucci, so it probably is great. It comes in 16 stylish shades. This is 100 Linda Beige. It's a perfect nude.

Sephora

Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics

Mineral Cream Lipstick

Mineral based and considered a clean beauty product.  The formula is enhanced by aloe vera extract. This shade is Naked. I may try it next.

Neiman Marcus

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer

With a new 90% natural origin of ingredients, this iconic gloss gets a refresh. This lip product plumps and keeps lips hydrated up to 24 hours. I really like it in this 013 Beige. It comis in 19 yummy colors.

It's all yummy.  With 10 days until Valentine's now is the time to order.
