1. Favorite Balm… Jack Black Natural Mint And Shea Butter Intense Therapy Lip Balm whew! Thats a mouth full! This balm is a life saver. I discovered that I loved lipsticks and lip glosses a few years ago and my lips got abused as I tried all the different wonderful and not so wonderful formulas. As I tried chapstick after chapstick they just got more chapped and flaky and nothing seemed to relieve them. Then I watched a vintage or tacky video and she was talking about this Jack Black Balm and everything Cora was talking about was what I wanted from a balm. I ran out to my nearest Sephora and bought it and it has been the only thing I use now. Its the consistency of vaseline so if you don't like a thick balm this maybe isn't for you. It has SPF 25 which is super important to me and what I look for in a lip balm I am going to be using during the day. The cool minty scent is perfect for day time or night time and after it is all absorbed it leaves your lips silky soft.

2. Best Eye Catching Red… My favorite reds are deep rich reds and my favorite is NYX Snow White. How could Snow White not be a perfect red! These NYX lipsticks are so buttery and creamy and they last so long. The Round lipstick in Snow White is a deep rich brick red, its cool toned and makes your teeth look super white! I love pairing this with smokey eye or a neutral eye on the darker side!

3. Best Luxury… Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte these are the creamiest lipsticks I have ever used. They have the smoothest texture, they glide on like a dream! I have 3 of them and the colors are all opaque and smooth. and they smell like watermelon! Perfect for the summer. My only complaint with them is they aren't long lasting but the feel of putting them on is worth reapplying them.

4. Best Drugstore… I love drugstore make up. So it was really hard picking just one lipstick from the drugstore that I love. But looking at my collection I realized the ones I reached for the most are my Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks. There are the most comfortable matte formula lipsticks I have ever used. The colors are matte but still creamy and they are super long lasting. Also they smell similar to the YSL lipsticks!

4. Best Mac Lipstick… I love Mac Lipsticks. Its a problem. I have wayyyyy to many! I bought my first Mac lipstick about 5 years ago and haven't looked back! Its been getting really hot here in Boston and I have been lazy when it comes to lip colors and have been defaulting to nude lips. And I keep reaching for 2 that happen to be Mac. They are Creme Cup and Peach Blossom. Creme Cup is a light pinky nude and I love this one with a brightly colored eye. Peach Blossom is a peach toned warmer nude that I love with a neutral eye or a smokey eye. I keep both of these in my purse because if I forget to put a lip color on in he morning these match anything! Plus they are no fuss, which is perfect for how busy I am.

5. Most Disappointing… I try not to keep disappointing lipsticks. I have enough that I love that I have no room for ones that I don't. Plus I want to talk about things I love not things that I don't. So quickly I dislike the new formula of Loreal Lipsticks. I used to love them 766 Plum Explosion use to be my go to Red. But in the last year or so they have become sheer and they have this unusual floral smell. Plus they aren't creamy they drag on your lip and are not comfortable to wear. Also the new Urban Decay lipsticks. I don't know if it is the one I have but the formula is so drying and patchy its almost a chore to wear! I love the color. But I have the same color in other formulas that I love. Plus it gets mashed into the cap. Im not just talking about when I have it in my purse but when I store it as well! I have tried storing it 100 different ways and it always ends up being mashed in the cap! I don't think I will be purchasing any more of these any time soon.

6. Liner Yes or No?… Both! If I am wearing a dark color that I need to go the distance I wear a liner absolutely. But day to day I don't usually wear a liner. I talk a lot at my job and am constantly reapplying my lipstick and just don't have time to go to the bathroom every time to fix the liner. When I do use a liner I like the Urban Decay 24/7 Slide on Glide On Liners. They are creamy and long lasting and they have a good range of colors!

7. Best Gloss… I am not a fan of gloss. I don't like the staying power or the look on my lips and I am always trying new ones and end up not liking them. Until recently when I ordered Tanya Burrs lip glosses. They are amazing! They are pigmented, not sticky, and they smell like strawberry jam! I love to wear them on their own or over a lipstick. I never thought I would love a gloss as much as I love these!

8. Something Extra… My something extra is the first Mac lipstick I bought. I blame this perfect little tube for my make up obsession. I always loved make up. Ever since my mom bought me my first liquid eyeliner from the Avon Lady that came to our house every month. But the Mac Viva Glam Gaga was the perfect shade of pink and it smelled like vanilla and it was the perfect texture. And from the first moment I put it on I had to have more. Thats when my recent love (or maybe its an obsession) for makeup truly started. It has since broken but it is displayed on my shelves because I don't have the heart to throw it away. And I am on the hunt for a dupe or just another tube.
