Thank you to Physicians Formula for sponsoring today’s post.

I’m a simple girl when it comes to my make-up. For the last four years or so, I haven’t worn any eye makeup at all. Instead, I like to wear foundation, a bit of bronzer or blush, and of course, a bold lip. Lip color is really how I characterize my look, so when it comes to the holidays, I have to be intentional about what I wear!

MY FAVORITE LIPSTICK SHADES FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Physicians Formula recently came out with a great, new product called The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipstick. And, my friends, it is just that. Velvet. When I put this product on initially, I felt like I was applying a gloss. It’s very thin, and light. However, I, personally am not a fan of the “wet” lipgloss feeling, so I was delighted when after about fifteen seconds, it was dry! It looked just like a creamy, velvety matte lip color, and I was instantly in love.

As far as nourishment, these lip colors contain avocado oil, which is great for moisturizing, and vitamins A & E. They’re also gentle ingredients-wise, but the best part about this line is that each tube is only $7.95!

Of all thirteen gorgeous colors, (yes, I was able to try them all) these are my top four for the holidays:

ALL-NATURAL NUDE

A perfect, velvety nude lipstick that looks great with any outfit, or you can be like me, and wear nude lipstick every day (even if it’s just to the grocery store or Target for holiday shopping). I adore nude.

NUT-TRITIOUS

My second favorite shade of lipstick is anything wine colored. This “nut-tritious” color from The Healthy Lip line is simply divine. I love the way it looks with the dress I’m wearing, but would look great with a little black dress too! The brown tones mixed with burgundy give it a nutty, rich look.

RED-STORATIVE EFFECTS

Nothing beats a classic red lip for the holidays, right? I felt positively Audrey when I put on this shade. Love how creamy and thick it looks, but it feels so light.

RAISIN’ IMMUNITY

When I saw a lip shade with the word “raisin” in the name, I knew I had to try it out. It’s dark, bold, and mysterious. Plus, looks great with any holiday ensemble. This gorgeous color adds serious drama to an otherwise neutral make-up palette.
