Let's talk about lipstick. We are out of the "glossy, nude" lip phase and are back to lipstick and I couldn't be more pleased. It's like when platforms transitioned back into a ladylike pump. (I'm old school like that.) Back to good, old fashioned basics.

That's kind of what these super versatile NYX Cosmetics Soft Matte Lip Cremes are to me...the perfect balance between traditional lipstick and lip gloss but without being shiny, gloppy or smeary. They hold up really well and aren't drying like most high pigment lipsticks. Which, to me, is a win/win! Add to that that there are over 20 colors (my faves are Copenhagen, Istanbul and Asterdam) and that you can get them for under $7.00 at Ulta Beauty, Target or here: http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/soft-matte-lip-cre…/NYX_007.html and you've got the trifecta!
