Budget Beauty Find

So, you know I big puffy heart love lipstick. As in I spend all of my monthly makeup allowance on lipstick. I am usually pretty loyal to those brands found at Sephora for a couple of reasons.
1. I'm lazy. I like to be able to apply my lipstick once during the day and not really need to reapply.
2. Better colors. I'm just saying. There are so many options and you're able to actually SEE the lipstick and not that little plastic thing with a not-even-close-to-accurate-swatch.
However, a friend of mine on instagram posted a picture of Maybelline #660 matte lipstick. It was glorious. I was determined to find it. I was not disappointed.

I now have at least 4 of the Maybelline matte lipsticks. There are a few more shades I 'need'.

These lipsticks have great staying power and a KILLER price tag at $5.49 at Target!

Here's what I want you to do....head on over to Maybelline and check out the matte line.  Comment here and let me know what color is your favorite!

Nude Lips

To be honest, for a long time I just didn't get nude lipstick. What's the point? I mean why wear lipstick that doesn't look like lipstick? One day, at CVS they were having a buy one get one on Maybelline Cosmetics sooo I bought two. One nude lipstick and one fuchsia. The fuchsia was a bust. Nothing compares to Yves Saint Laurent's le fuchsia. Nothing. But the nude...that was a whole 'nother story. 

Suddenly I understood why nude. I got it. I had stumbled upon the perfect nude shade for me. I'm still searching for the perfect shade that lasts (the maybelline does not have staying power which requires frequent reapplication). So I present to you my nude. Lipstick. I also challenge you to find your nude. ;)
