Until recently I never wore lip color! I was a loyal lip balm/chapstick girl (still always have chapstick on me!). But about a year ago I got some Kosas lip colors and have been loving adding some color to my lips. Lip color seems to add an immediate pop and helps me look more put together…and these days I’ll take all the help I can get bc you know, mom life.

Kosas lip color 1-Rosewater

The first of the Kosas lip colors is Rosewater. It’s the prettiest pink and a very subtle tint. If you’re not used to seeing yourself with lip color or would like to keep things subtle this color is for you! I also think this color is great if you’ll be ringing in the New Year with your family at 7pm, which is what I’ll be doing!

Kosas lip color 2-Thrillest

The Kosas lip color, Thrillest, has a red-orange hue. This color really complements my skin tone and I think it would look great on most skin tones! I like to pair this color with a monochromatic or dual tone outfit to give it some edge. Perfect for a virtual ball drop!

Kosas lip color 3-Electra

Of course I had to include a classic red, Electra! Red can be super intimidating to try but on the other hand it looks so great on every skin tone once you get past the boldness factor, you won’t regret it! The first time I wore red I thought everyone was staring at me and maybe they were, so be prepared to turn heads 🙂 I don’t wear it everyday but when I do, I can’t help but feeling a little spicy and your New Year’s kiss recipient won’t be complaining.

Kosas lip color 4-Royal

The last of the 4 Kosas lip colors, Royal, has a deep berry hue. It’s cool berry tone combines feminine and sexy, making your pout irresistible beautifully radiant. This will be perfect to apply after the kids go to bed and you can finally sneak in some kisses.

Not ready for color…

If you still aren’t ready to try color, no worries! Here are some options for you that give your lips a subtle shine and softness.

–Glossier Coconut Balm Dotcom: it gives lips a nice clear gloss. I use this daily!

–Young Living Lavender Lip Balm: I got earlier this year and I love the texture of the balm. It glides on so smoothly and offers moisture and shine! Unfortunately I left it in the pocket of my shorts and it get destroyed in the dryer :/

–Burt’s Bees Lip Balm: This was one of my first lip balm obsessions and still carry one around to this day!

–Sun Bum Coconut Lip Balm: I’m a sucker for the coconut scent and this one does not disappoint. The balm isn’t as smooth as the other ones but its SPF 30 so I use this when I’m going to the beach.
