Fab Philosophy by Brittney Blane: lipstick

I've gotten so many questions lately about the lipsticks that I've been wearing so I thought I would share my FAVORITE (as of right now of course) that I just can't seem to get enough of this spring. These are not the only lip products I use, but they are definitely the ones I've been reaching for on the daily this season.

Kardashian Beauty Kroma Joysticks

These sticks created by the three Kardashian reality dolls have quickly become a daily must in my cosmetic bag and my purse. I casually picked one up at Ulta a few months ago when the bright colors and the great price caught my eye, and I've been hooked ever since.

I really like using every color I own from this collection. The design makes application a breeze and eliminates the need for a lipstick pencil which is usually a must when it comes to bright reds or pinks.

I also really like the formula of these little lip lacquers. Even though it's not as long lasting as it claims to be, I still find that I don't have to re-apply these as often as I do other lipsticks, and it goes on so smooth and even. It's matte enough to compensate for the brightness and pigmentation of the colors, but doesn't leave your lips feeling dry after you apply.

XO. Brit.

I like to think of February as the month to embrace all things soft, pretty, and feminine, and for me, that goes for makeup too. Here are five products I'm obsessed with right now...

Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette

A palette that delivers the perfect amount of eye candy.

If there ever was an eyeshadow palette to crave this month it would be this baby. Too Faced Cosmetics is known for its deeply pigmented eyeshadows in shades that seem to universally compliment every eye color and skin tone. I have never been disappointed in Too Faced products and this new little number delivers the same satisfaction as all the others I've purchased in the past...Plus, the packaging is just delicious!

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks

These shimmer bricks by Bobbi Brown are not new to the make up scene by any means, but they still deliver better than most blush and highlight products on the market that aim to add the perfect glow to the face. If you have one Bobbi Brown item in your cosmetic bag it should be one of these! These cheeky superstars are available in four different colors, (I've only featured 3 today) Nectar, Rose, and Quartz because they are my personal favorites. Each of these shades offers a different look but can be worn collectively as they seem to compliment all skin tones.

Laura Geller Colored Enriched Lipstick Collection

When it comes to makeup, if anybody gets it, it's this girl! Laura Geller has never failed me. Her products are masterful to say the least. (can you tell I'm obsessed?) Every time she brings something new to the table she delivers. These color gems for the lips aren't only beautiful, they'll keep your lips looking younger too. Wine scented and filled with antioxidants and vitamins, Seriously, every girl needs this lipstick in her life!

The NARS Final Cut Collection

The second I laid eyes on this collection it was love at first site! I discovered this as I was stalking the beauty department on Nordstrom.com and of course took notice because, Hello, its Pink! NARS is known for its pink tones and these, in my book, are some of their best shades yet. If you try anything from this new montage I would go for the Final Cut Illuminator. This liquid light will literally make you look like your skin naturally glows from within. Who doesn't want that right?

L'Oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector

These may be drugstore products but they deliver like a high-end beauty brand. I can not tell you how impressed I've been with all three of these little youthful jewels. I have pores the size of small moon craters and after a months worth of use I can safely say I see a significant difference in my skin. My pores seem visibly smaller, and when I use the Pore Vanisher before applying makeup, it goes on like butter. If you try anything from this collection go with the Serum. Incorporate it into your daily skincare routine and you will not be sorry.
