The colors I wear on repeat, and the care that keeps my lips soft underneath them.
I love the pretty pink shades and the reds. Pink is my everyday, and when I want more, I wear a red that means it. What I ask of a lipstick is simple: let me put it on in the morning and forget about it. I don't want to spend my day thinking about touch-ups.
Underneath every color is lip care. Soft, hydrated lips make any shade look better, so I use a mask overnight and balm through the day. And my beach bag always has something juicy and tinted in it.

"My best lip care: balm by day, mask by night."

"My go-to when I want a lip that actually lasts all day."
Why I like it:
A matte liquid lipstick and matching liner in one kit. I love the pretty pink shades and reds, and I can put it on in the morning and not have to constantly think about touching it up. For everyday wear I love the shade Snow Way Bae.
"All-day color that does not quit."
Why I like it:
My other go-to for a lip that lasts all day without reapplying. Weightless, longwear fluid color, and the reds are perfect.
"My beach and pool lip: hydration plus that juicy shine."
Why I like it:
So many variations of colors. It keeps my lips feeling super hydrated while giving that pretty juicy shine, and the tinted shades give just enough color without feeling like full lipstick.
"My everyday pink, with the matching Lip Cheat liner."
Why I like it:
A satin-shine warm rose pink that goes with everything. I pair it with the Lip Cheat lip liner in 90s Pink for a defined, fuller-looking lip.
"My beach lips: hydration and juicy shine on a budget."
Why I like it:
These are great for the beach and pool. They keep my lips feeling super hydrated while giving that pretty juicy shine, and the tinted shades give just enough color without feeling like full lipstick. The Juicy Butter Balm also comes in a five-shade set that makes a great little gift.
"This kit is what finally made me understand 'my lips but better.'"
What you get:
The price is high for a lip set. I'll be honest about that. This is my one splurge I've never regretted, because the shade works with almost every look, and having the three pieces color-matched takes the guesswork out of getting ready.
Why I like it: It gives me the my-lips-but-better look in one step, and it goes with everything else in my makeup bag.
