Under the Mistletoe

Updated: Dec 15, 2018

My favorite lipsticks/glosses for the holiday season!

I LOVE a good lipstick and wear it just about every single day, especially during the holiday season. I keep most of my makeup looks very natural but add a bolder lip to make a statement. I feel that it matches my personality and adds some fun to every single look! Today, I wanted to share some lipsticks, and a couple glosses, from my own collection that are my absolute favorites for the season! All of these are wonderful options for gifts, whether that is for a loved one or for yourself!


Anastasia Beverly Hills

Anastasia Beverly Hills has been a go-to brand for me for just about anything, brow products, eyeshadow, highlighter, and lipsticks! I heard especially good things about their lip gloss, and it has lived up to the hype! This lip gloss is pretty pigmented and keeps my lips feeling soft all day long. I use this gloss for my every day, casual looks when I just want a natural, soft color on my lips.

L'OREAL Paris

L'OREAL Paris is a great, accessible brand that is available in most generic stores, such as Dillons, Walmart, etc. I love this brand because of that fact. You can grab them and go for not much money and still get a quality product. I found this particular color just getting groceries and love its shine and smoothness!

KKW Beauty


Kim Kardashian West has created an amazing makeup line, KKW Beauty, and I am not just saying that because of her fame. While I have not tried her contour products, I firmly believe in her concealer sets (seriously the best concealer ever) and have really enjoyed her creme lipsticks as well!


These particular two shades are from her Pink Creme lipsticks (8 shades). She also has Nude (8 shades), Peach (4 shades), and Glam Bible Creme Lipsticks (2 shades) available.




I use these lipsticks for a darker, more moody feel to my makeup, perfect for the winter months!

Younique


Younique makeup was really my first introduction into the makeup world. I started using this brand about four or five years ago and through it, became obsessed with makeup. These lipsticks are wonderfully made, with an easy-to-apply brush and a creamy and pigmented formula.

This is the Moonstruck Liquid Lipstick in color, Stoic, one of the most popular shades in the collection. This color, a brown/burgundy, is especially great for the fall.






Pat McGrath Labs


Pat McGrath Labs has introduced me to the most luxurious lip products that I have ever owned. They have beautiful colors and an endless inventory. Also, their packaging is incredible! I love the little lips on the tubes.



Different types of lip products for this brand include matte lipstick, creme lipstick, metallic lipstick (new), lipgloss, and shimmering lip balm.

Kylie Cosmetics

Kylie Cosmetics is as popular in my makeup collection as it is in mainstream culture. I have followed this company from the very beginning and have been pretty obsessed with many of her products for years, especially her lipsticks. They are all great quality and have gotten better and better as she develops her formulas and packaging.

This set is my newest purchase from Kylie Cosmetics. It sold out fast but has been restocked so BUY IT NOW before it's gone! I have started buying her set of minis with every collection because I get to try 8 different colors! The size is actually never an issue and they last me forever so, for me, this is the best deal!

I love this shade and accidentally have it in both liquid and tube form! They actually differ a little bit between the two but this is probably my favorite shade of all time tied with December from the holiday collection and the next color, Vacay!

My absolute favorite shade of the creme lipsticks, the color, much brighter in person, is a great bold choice for a night out or just everyday!

This is a great pink color that goes well with many things and is so pretty on! I adore this color.









Storage!


I use this Acrylic Spinning Lipstick Holder and Storage Tower that I purchased from Overstock.com! This is a great way to visibly store your lipsticks on your counter where you get ready so all of your products are accessible. Also, it looks really cute!


I hope this post gives you a great selection of lipsticks for the holiday season! Happy Shopping <3
