the LipSense colors that are part of my every day routine [+ a giveaway!]

Wednesday, January 03, 2018
Let me tell y'all a secret:

I. Hate. Makeup.

That's right.

I do.

I said it.

It's awful. It wipes off. It gets everywhere. When I would put my whole face on, I would have makeup on my boyfriend's clothes, my Starbucks cup, my hands, my dog, my car, my purse. Everything. And yes, I was probably doing a lot of it wrong, but I am clumsy, I like to eat and I touch my face and mouth a lot more than I should.

So makeup was my enemy. Still is, except...

SENEGENCE! ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿ™Œ

Disclaimer: I became a SeneGence independent distributor in December, but I would never represent, advocate for or try to sell any brands or products that I didn't 100 percent love and believe in. 

Today I wanted to share with you my favorite LipSense colors (there are 50 total, and I have only tried 10-12 of them myself!) that I have tried so far. And at the end, enter to win a FREE LipSense color + gloss so you can try it for yourself.

Quick and dirty LipSense info:

• One tube of LipSense costs $25. If you're new to LipSense, you'll also want our gloss to seal the color – that's $20! But one tube of LipSense = 4 to 6 tubes of regular lipstick and lasts WAY longer during the day, so there are serious cost benefits to it, if I do say so myself.

• We have 50 colors, ranging from neutrals to bolds, warms to cools, frosts to shimmers to matte. There is something for everyone.

• The color really is long lasting! Unless you use Micellar water, coconut oil, makeup remover wipes or our Ooops! Remover, it is not coming off. Seriously.


Bella is a creamy, neutral brownish-mauve shade with a matte finish. I love Bella because it gives me my berry fix and is my idea of a basic color (for some people, Bella is bold, and that's OK!) It also goes on super easily and is one of my longest-lasting colors. (Some colors do last longer than others! I tend to put Bella on in the morning and wake up with full lips 24 hours later!)


Every girl needs a bold red, and Fly Girl, a deep, warm cherry red with a matte finish, is my bold red. (We also have a cool-toned red that a lot of my cool-toned ladies love!) Honestly, if you want to feel like you can do anything, you need red lipstick.


I did not think I would ever love a brown lip, but here I am, loving Glam Doll, a neutral, earthy brown with a matte finish. It is one of our limited edition colors but it is so fierce I wish we had it in stock on the reg.


Honey Rose is the color I turn to when I'm feeling ladylike and want a nice pink. This is a rose gold with an amber frost and it is gorgeous with all of the gloss pairings. This is a great warm color, and I am warm toned! 


Napa is my toned-down berry shade for days when I don't want to wear my all-time favorite LipSense color, which is coming up next. This is a frosty, deep berry pink with a great shimmer. I just love berry shades for everyday bold wear, y'all.


And then there's Plum. This is the color that got me hooked on LipSense! Plum is a cool, velvety berry burgundy, and it is my favorite color to rock with winter and fall shades. I am sure I will find a way to rock it in the summer, too, but this is the best with navy and olive green and caramel brown – my favorite fall colors – not to mention just plain black!

my december goals AND a little life update

Monday, December 04, 2017

Happy Monday!

I am typing this up pretty late on Sunday night because ... well... I really don't know where my weekend went. Both days, Patrick was occupied with sports, and I had made lots of plans to do laundry, clean the house and finish decorating for Christmas.

Well. The house is still disgusting, I have laundry started but certainly not finished and decorating? Ha. Not even close.

SOMETHING NEW ON MY RADAR


I signed up to be an independent distributor with SeneGence, the company that makes LipSense! You have probably heard of LipSense, but if not, it is an amazing lip color that lasts up to 18 hours – no smudging, no smearing, no transferring. I absolutely love it and my lips have never been so healthy during the winter in... ever. So, I officially am open for business!

I spent a lot of time this weekend and the few days this week after I made the decision to join the company getting things together – ordering business cards and supplies, making graphics, etc. The whole thing.

If you're interested in learning more about SeneGence and LipSense, I'd love to have you in my Facebook group! You can join here – no pressure to buy, just come and have fun with us while you learn more about the products.

HOW I DID IN NOVEMBER

Read 5 books in November. So close – I read four books in November. 

Start and finish National Novel Writing Month by writing 50,000 words in 30 days. Score! I did finish my NaNoWriMo novel in 30 days and wrote 50,704 words.

Drink 64 ounces of water every day, and limit myself to one caffeinated/non-water beverage a day. This was going really well at the beginning of the month but as it got closer to my birthday and I got busier and more exhausted, the caffeine was necessary and the water was an afterthought – although I am still drinking more than I was before. And then I got my new Keurig after Black Friday... and it went out the window.

Blog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week. Unfortunately, I missed a few days here, too. It's hard to keep up with everything!

Turn my phone off (or put it away) one hour before bedtime. I was really good about this for a week – so much for that.

MY DECEMBER GOALS

Read 5 books in December. I blogged about my reading list last week and took a trip to Barnes & Noble for a stack of books to add to my already huge stack of books, so I hope now that NaNoWriMo is over, I can make time to read!

Drink 16 oz. of water for every caffeinated beverage I drink every day. I think this will be a more successful way for me to ensure I'm drinking water while also keeping my caffeine in my life... because I am not ready to get rid of it.

Clear my to do list of things I have been putting off before the new year. There are some tasks on my to do list that I have been neglecting for months. It is way past time to take my car in for a recall update (nothing incredibly dangerous, Mom!) and take our donations from our move to the donation center. Time to get them done before 2018!

Clean out my closet. I haven't done a good closet cleanout in a few months! Usually I do it at the start of every season, but I haven't done it since
