Beauty on a Budget


It's that time again...Beauty Budget Buys, because who doesn't like saving money? It's no shock that matte liquid lips are a huge trend that isn't going away anytime soon. Many companies have quickly been pushing out their versions of the matte trend, so I decided to give a few a try. When I began working in makeup, Stila, was really the only brand around that was marketing the matte lip trend. Their most popular color at the time was Fiery, a bright fire engine red color. However, nudes and browns have really made headway and are now the colors at the forefront of this trend.



So why matte? Matte lips are appealing because of their longevity, especially when you want to wear bold colors. Bold colors have a tendency to "bleed" if of a creamy consistency, so it is no surprise that a matte finish seems like a better idea.

Trend Watching
A notable mention would be Kylie Jenner, who for whatever reason, helped catapult this trend into almost border line matte lip obsession. I am older, so the Kylie craze isn't really all that appealing to me, but I do think her makeup artists do a fantastic job and should be praised for quality beauty work! 

So what liquid lip did I try? The Nyx Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick  (say that 10x's fast), full breakdown below.......


Beauty Breakdown
What it is: Nyx Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick 
Colors: Corset and Teddy
What it does: Lipstick that applies like a lip gloss and finishes matte
Why I love it: Love is a strong word, currently I like these lipsticks, as far as color pay off goes, but they are not as long wear as I thought they would be. However, they are really soft and do not dry out the lips which is a huge plus. No flaking here! Corset is a grey, almost purple color and Teddy is a chocolate brown.  
Price:$7.00 





Final Thoughts: Although not as long wear as I'd like, I am going to try using a lip liner with these lipsticks, to maybe give it the extra long wear push it needs. Also, I know these trends are fun but do not feel obligated to try them. If you simply want to experiment, cool, but do not feel like you need to look like everyone on the internet. As of late, there has been this bizarre explosion of girls who frankly, look like carbon copies of one another. Try beauty trends out for fun but maintain some originality, please? We need more chicks out there like that. I know I tend to sound like I preach a bit, but I just understand how overwhelming content on IG can seem. I think makeup should be fun, not a rat race to get followers and achieve a false sense of self. Be yourself and the rest will come naturally, I swear.

Below I have also listed other matte lip options from affordable brands just like Nyx, enjoy!
