Lipstick, Lip Balm, Chapstick, Lippies.....Call It What You Want!

Lip products have always been my go-to beauty product for as long as I can remember.  Your lips are one of the first thing that most people notice (or maybe just guys do), however you always want them looking fresh.

Recently I have been getting into tinted lip products.  I have never really been a fan of standard lipstick, however lip crayons and tinted balms are so simple to put on and bring moisture and a hint of color.

I have a wide range of favorite lip products that I can not live without.  Some I have been using for a long time, others just a few weeks.

Here are my top 5 lip products that I absolutely in love with.

#1- Marc Jacobs Makeout LipLock
          I have talked about this product before.  Can't say enough about it.  Provides great moisture for the harsh Midwest winters and is very long lasting.  It is more on the pricey side, but well worth it!

#2 CoverGirl LipSlicks Smoochies in #Luv u
          Provides moisture and a hint of color.  Even though I feel like I go through this alot and the color really doesn't stay for a long period of time.  It's cheap enough that I feel like I'm getting my monies worth.

#3 Fresh Sugar in Rose
          This is a tinted lip treatment with SPF 15   It's been a while since I've used this one, but it's still one that I would always go back to.  It's got a nice lemony scent to it that makes your lips feel "fresh".

#4 Nivea A Kiss of Olive Oil & Lemon
           Other than providing moisture, it doesn't really do too much else. This is another product that I have to keep applying, however I don't mind.  I love the scent and love how it makes my lips feel.

#5 NYX Chunky Dunk Hydrating Lippie in Berry Mojito
          I think this is a new product from NYX.  I've gotten NYX products before and I've always been really happy with their line. I recently picked up this lip crayon and have only used it a few times, but have nothing but wonderful things to say.  It was a great price and very long lasting.  It's almost like a stain.  I will be going back to pick up more colors.  However, I'm obsessed with this color!  Great for spring and summer and really stands out!  This is one you have to pick up!

Bonus Fav
           Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balm in Coral Crush
                 I received this one in my May Birchbox.  Very smooth and leaves a nice tint.  I love the coral color.  Just something different than the standard pink or berry colors that are in right now.

Well, there you have it.  My favorite lippies!  What are some of your favorites?  What color are you rocking this spring/summer season?

Pucker Up!

Home Desk Organization

I am normally a very organized and clean person.  However, I recently noticed that my home desk was getting a little cluttered with random items.  I wanted to new look - one that was simple and less messy.

From a recent order from Birchbox.com  I received an acrylic organizer that has a cute diamond green pattern at the bottom.  I think it was suppose to be used for makeup, but I thought it would be a great desk organizer!

You can find these acrylic organizers at stores like Target, The Container Store, office supply stores, etc. There are a wide variety of them and you can tailor them to the size of your desk or how many items you want to put in them.  A simple serving tray would work as well, just to group everything together.  But, I do like the different compartments to separate the contents.  

Let me know if you have any organizational tips for your home office.

Happy organizing!
