The lips have it: High End vs Drugstore


Anyone that knows me know I love a bold lip color. When you don't have time for full out face of makeup a striking lip color can a strong statement. That's how you turn heads honey! Trust me! Not to mention a confidence booster!

 Plus it's about being frugal. You can purchase similar shades without dishing out serious duckets. The quality of the lipsticks/lip glosses can vary. Remember:price doesn't always matter. There are cheap lipsticks that have lasting power.


Here are a list of my current  favorite lipsticks/lip glosses. You don't always have to purchase a bunch lipsticks like me (I can be a makeup hoarder and yes I need help)
