My Favorites out of this groups are Heroine, Funny Face, and Media. I'm definitely into playing with colors at the moment. Heroine was a new find for me this year. I had seen a lot of makeup gurus talk about it and I decided to purchase it. It's become my favorite color of the winter right now. I've talked about it before but it's a very wearable color that any skin type can wear. Funny Face is also a very wearable color despite its bright pink color. It has metallic blue and purple reflections, which make it suitable for any skin color. Media is also a great color. The best way to describe it would be a purpley-red color that is almost brown. This lipstick is definitely the most difficult to wear in my opinion, as not everyone is a fan of the color.

  I'm also loving using a classic red lipstick such as Audace and using the plum lipstick from Estee Lauder on top. Red lipsticks are a staple year round, but look especially stunning in the winter season. Especially if they are paired with a brown smokey eye.

Maybelline Baby Lips is also great, it looks very pale in this shot but it actually gives your lips a very natural red color. In my opinion it enhances your natural lip color without changing it. It's a great color to slip on when you're in a rush and just want to add some color to your lips. And the best part is, it's a lip balm. So if you're suffering from dry lips this is a great product for $3-4.

I hope everyone is having a great Sunday, stay warm!!
