Everyone knows I’m a sucker for a bold lip. I’m always on the lookout for new colors and shades to match my dark winter wardrobe and have recently fallen in love with deep plum shades that complement my ever-pale face. I always struggle with finding new lip color that is within my personal makeup budget, is the right shade I’m looking for, and is likewise good for my lips and produced in an ethical manner. I’ve had some luck finding new hues thanks to a few makeup subscription services, but I can always count on Burt’s Bees to have a quality product that both looks and feels good on. The simplicity of what goes into Burt’s Bees products makes it a reputable brand that is sustainability-conscious and concerned with appropriate use of natural resources. Since I became a user of Burt’s Bees many years ago, the product line has expanded tremendously and now encompasses a variety of lip care products and beyond, in many special colors and for many unique purposes. Burt’s Bees essentially has products for individuals of any age and any style or care needs!
Available at Target right now, Burt’s Bees has released a new, amazing line of lipsticks to pair with their already awesome collection of moisturizing and tinted lip balms. The new packaging is sleek and stylish, and really brings a new modern feel to the brand. The change in branding caught me so off-guard that I didn’t even realize it was my favorite Burt’s Bees at first! The lipsticks feature a satin finish and come in 14 versatile shades. Burt’s Bees Lipsticks claim to soften and condition lips all day long, thanks to a natural formula featuring Beeswax, Moringa Oil, and Raspberry Seed Oil – and I believe it! I can even pronounce the major ingredients in the lipsticks, definitely not something I can do with most drug store brands. I could definitely tell a difference in all day coverage wearing my new plum shade. Although I have to reapply after meals and a mid-morning coffee break, the color stays on all day looking fresh and shimmery. The 100% Natural Lipsticks deliver hydration and moisturizing for up to 8 hours. It feels lightweight to wear, and the colors aren’t so harsh that they are not school or office appropriate.
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been loving this sweater lately. Seen here are some of my favorite Black Friday deals that I scored in Lexington this past fall. This drape sweater and swing dress were under $50 combined, and the burgundy shade pairs perfectly with my new Burt’s Bees lip color. Because I tend to wear darker clothes in the colder temperatures, I’ve had to find versatile pieces that transition well and are work-approved. Black leather booties, satin lip color, and bold statement necklaces and watches are accessories I can’t live without this winter, and I’m always on the lookout for sales. An unexpected shopping trip this past weekend to the outlets near me yielded some awesome sales and new pieces to continue building my cold weather wardrobe. Details soon to come!
