Pucker Pick Me Up

I wake up in a pitch-black room, look out my window and see complete darkness, not a single ray of sunlight in the sky. I have plans to go shopping with friends but really, who wants to be productive when the gloomy weather sets up the perfect “lazy day.” What I need is a quick pick me up, something to pull me out of bed to get my day going. I need something to boost my confidence and make me feel alive. That’s when I resort to my staples, I lay in bed thinking and I finally figure it out. I rummage through my makeup bag and find my nude lipstick. I take it out, put it on and I feel like perfection. I am ready to conquer my day no matter what the weather outside may be. It sounds silly, but nude lipstick is the perfect pick me up. It is simple, but does the trick. I don’t always like wearing a bright, heavy lipstick, so it is good to pucker up and put on something a little more natural but still have your lips looking perfectly plump. The best part about nude lipstick is that it can come in a plethora of different shades and can be worn all year round.

Sephora has a myriad of brands such as Yves Saint Laurent, Nars, and Dior. The Bare Essentials variation even has anti oxidants, Vitamin E and SPF in them. So pucker up, apply it liberally, and feel the glow.
