5 Lip Products to get you through the Holiday Season


No matter how you choose to spend your holidays, one thing for certain is that it is a truly hectic time for everyone. Parties, events, shopping, holiday's and catchups - you name it, you'll most likely do it. In this time, you'll probably try to rush through your routine, and with these five lip products you'll have enough variety for a multitude of looks.

If I were going away for the holiday season, whether I lived in a country going through summer or winter, these would be the 5 lip products I would pack!




The Berry Lipstick
Berry shades are lovely for any season - bright enough for summer time, or warm enough for the winter. It brings the festivity to your look, without being as bold as a red lip, and is simply a flattering shade.

The Glittery Red Gloss
Sometimes a bold statement lip is fun, so why not have a lip reminiscent of traditional christmas colours. You can't get more christmasy then a bright, glittery red lip, so why not try something different to brighten up a look?

The Red or Pink Lip Liner
For those times when you want a bit of colour, but don't want a complete statement lip. These are perfect because you can have a sheer slick of colour, or build it up for a bright pop. Topped with a clear slick of gloss, this will last for ages and give your look some colour.

The Nude Gloss
The holiday season is a time when people can experiment with bright and fun eye looks, which means muted down lips. A nude gloss (my preference is a pink toned one) adds the slightest bit of colour and shine to your face, without being too overpowering.

The sheer/nude based, glittery gloss
Not so much as a statement as the glittery red, but more of a statement then the nude, this gloss adds a pop to your look without being too overbearing. The nude base keeps your look more simple, whilstthe  glitter adds shine, and a pop to your look.

The holidays are one of my favorite times of the year, so it should be no surprise that my lips should represent the festivities! I really recommend you trying to add some of these to your collection!

What are your favorite lip looks for christmas?

P.S So it wasn't on purpose that I happened to choose mostly Napoleon Perdis products, but it just so happens that they happen to be some of the most glittery and festive in my collection.
