National Lipstick Day- Favorite Summer Lipsticks

Hi everyone!! 
Happy National Lipstick Day! :)
Lipstick is one of those beauty products that I can never seem to get enough of, or have too many of! I love the fact that such a simple product can make a woman feel so much better about herself! Whether it's by making her feel more confident, powerful, or strong; sometimes all a woman needs to feel good is a new lipstick to get excited about! So, in honor of this fabulous holiday, I thought I would share my thoughts on some of the lipsticks that I have been loving so far this summer! 
First up is actually a set that my mom gave me for my birthday earlier this month! I love Tarte's Amazonian Butter Lipsticks, and I definitely had my eye on a few colors! This set has 5 full size lipsticks in it for only $33! 
The colors are all pink/reddish tones and they feel amazing on the lips! They do not dry my lips out and have great staying power when I am just out and about or at the office! I do find that I need to touch up a bit after eating or drinking something, but that would be my only (very minor) complaint. My favorite thing about this set is that it can totally take me from the summer months with the lighter shades and in to Fall with some of the darker shades! The colors I have been wearing most this summer are Angelic Nude, a pretty pinky nude color, Sweet Peach, the most perfect peach color for this time of year, and Candy Red, a gorgeous color that is perfect for a little pop or va-va-voom! The set is online only at Ulta, but I would totally recommend ordering one if you are interested in Tarte's Amazonian Butter Lipsticks or the colors! They do sell single lipsticks both online and in store for $16 each, but the price for all 5 cannot be beat!

In the more drugstore price range, I have been loving New York Color's Expert Last Lip Colors! 
These lipsticks are SUPER pigmented!! I often find that even after eating or drinking my lips are stained and still have some color on them! You can go as light or as dark as you want with these, which is something I absolutely love about them! If I am going for something a bit more sheer, I just put some clear lip balm underneath! I found a huge array of colors in my local CVS store for a measly $1.99! I'm now thinking I need to go pick up a few more ASAP! ;) My favorite colors for summer have been Peach Fizz, a pretty peach color with a little bit of shimmer/ frost (definitely frosted in a good way), Coralista, an amazing bright coral/ orange with redish undertones that I am totally in love with, and Air Kiss, the most perfect bright hot pink with slightly bluish undertones (this one might be my favorite).

So those are my favorite summer lipsticks! I have really been loving the bright colors that are totally trendy right now and it has been a nice change to step out of the box from my usual sheer summer glosses! Would love to hear about your favorite summer lipsticks! Like I said... I can never have too many ;)
Hope you all have a great day!
