Get Luscious Lips from your Local Drugstore

We love a gorgeous red lip. We love a pretty pink pout. And we love a lipstick that lasts without paying the price of a Tesla. So we were super excited when we got to test out the latest Cover Girl Colorlicious Lipstick. Let’s talk about 36 on-trend shades curated by the beauty genius Pat McGrath (COVER GIRL’S Global Creative Design Director). From nudes and pinks to reds and plums, there is a color to match any skin tone at the perfect price point. This gorgeous array of lipsticks is made with emollients such as shea, avocado and aloe butters and antioxidants from white tea and vitamin E. It even contains an olive-derived ingredient called squalene, which replicates the skin’s ability to condition itself. So kiss those winter doldrums away and vamp it up with some color on your lips this month.

Beautyblender Had A Baby…Meet micro.mini

If you’re already a mega-fan of the amazing beautyblender, then you’ll be jumping for joy for the new baby: micro.mini ($17.95).
