Luxurious Lips: 13 Must Have Lip Products


By: Katie Gray

Luscious Lips!

Lipstick never goes out of style. There are so many fun shades of colors to try! There are so many different types of lip products, too. There are mattes, crèmes, sheens, shimmers, lip-gloss, lip plumper, lip conditioner, lip balm, and so on. Your choice of lip shade can complement your outfit nicely, an accessory in its own right. It can brighten the day with a pop of color, make a bold statement, look naturally chic, create old Hollywood glam and add sparkle with shimmer lip-glosses. 

For the best classic shade of red, MAC’s ‘Russian Red’ is perfect. (Superstar Taylor Swift uses it to achieve her classic red look!) To have red lips with a shine, Lancôme’s ‘Red Stiletto’ is the way to go. Lipstick mattes are trendy because they go on like a gloss, nice and smooth, while staying in place like a matte. Kat Von D has the best lipstick mattes. Her shades, ‘Lolita’ and ‘Bow N Arrow’ are all the rage. Sephora constantly has to stock up on them because they sell out fast. In my celebrity interview with Nicole Williams, she shared with me that ‘Bow N Arrow’ is one of her favorite lip shades, which she always carries in her purse. Kylie Jenner, of Keeping Up With The Kardashians fame, has a popular line of Kylie Lip Kits that are great. They last a long time and the colors are fun. She came out with some luscious lip-glosses too, that are sexy and sleek.

Give your look the royal treatment this fall with the Limited Edition Keepsakes Collection by M·A·C, filled with all the colors you need to reign supreme this season and into the next.

One of my absolute favorites from the collection is the "Keepsakes - Smoky Eyes" Eyeshadow Palette ($39.50) Isn't it beyond gorgeous with its cameo-inspired case?


The Cameo Keepsake Smoky Palette also comes in an expanded version for the face! It includes three Eyeshadows, one Iridescent Pressed Powder, a Cream Color Base and two Lipsticks in an elegant range of sultry hues to keep you looking simply divine both day and night. I know, jaw dropping beautiful!




I'm also loving the Keepsakes Limited Edition Studio Brush Kit, which gives you near endless options for the perfect photo-ready finish. Is it obvious that I gravitate toward white?

explains my obsession with The Holiday Collection.
