Ten Summer Lipstick Essentials

If I had to choose just one make-up item to use for ever and ever it would be lipstick. You can change your look so drastically with just a quick swipe of color. Best of all, if you're in a hurry, you can still look put together with the addition of some lipstick.
I'm a drugstore make-up type of girl. I don't gravitate toward expensive brands and I find that some of my favorite long-lasting colors are the most inexpensive.
Don't get me wrong. There is something to be said about the high end products. I have a MAC, Stila and Laura Gellar in my collection - but I don't reach for those nearly as often as I reach for my NYX, Cover Girl or Essence colors.

With the warmer months upon us, it's time to start having fun with brighter colors. Here are a few of my favorites.

Forever 21 Recent Purchases

I recently made a purchase from Forever21.com. I've been slowly trying to upgrade my wardrobe from a young twenty-something to the almost thirty-something that I actually am. My style has evolved very much and is in a completely different place than it was five years ago. I'm trying to get my clothes to match my current, more grown-up style.

Below you will find the product links to all the items mentioned in the video above. As far as I know, these are all still available on the website.

But guess what....none of these worked and the only thing that I kept was the faux stone necklace. I took a trip to the closest Forever 21 - about 45 minutes away and exchanged the above items for the ones below.
