I’m a big believer in lip color and how it can change your look more than any other makeup. While eye shadows and blushes are great for taking your look from day to night, nothing can switch up your makeup style and make your look pop quite like a unique shade of lip color.
Whether it’s a deep red, baby pink, or something in between, there’s just something about different shades of lip color that can take you from one look to a completely different one just like that.

With that being said, I only find myself wearing lipstick and lip glosses every once in a while. The main reason why is because most lipsticks leave my lips feeling dry, and lip gloss tends to be too sticky and uncomfortable. That’s why on a daily basis I try to stick with lip balms that leave my lips feeling smooth and hydrated. So when I was offered to try ALMAY Color + Care™ Liquid Lip Balm, which sounded like the best of both worlds, I was excited to give it a try.
These liquid lip balms combine the comfort and care of a balm with the flirty color and shine of a gloss. As someone who has tried just about every lip gloss and lip balm under the sun, I was really impressed at how well Almay combined my favorite attributes of the two. It instantly more than doubles lip hydration so lips feel twice as moisturized after use, and conditioners nourish lips with 194% more moisture for softer, smoother lips over time.
Not only does ALMAY Color + Care™ Liquid Lip Balm have all of those great hydrating benefits, but it also comes in ten flirty and glamorous colors. The ones I tried were Blooming Balm, Nudetrients, Just Plum Good, and Cantaloupe Cream.
I loved each and every one of them! I could see myself wearing these shades from day into night, and they’re all unique to pair with whatever outfit or look I’m going for on a given day. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Blooming Balm.

I like to wear a cute tight bow for the hair
and bright purple, pink or red lipstick on the lips.
and soft creamy pink or beige eye shadow

My weekend look lately has been jeans and a cute top with wedges!
My favorite weekend look is a cute sundress plus mascara and lip gloss.
i’m not big on makeup, so on the weekends when i’m going out i run the straightener through my hair real quick and put on some mascara. easy peasy.
Favorite weekend look is actually applying all my makeup, which i am sometimes too lazy to do during the week!
For the weekend I try to add a little more effort since morening during the week I’m usually running late. I add a smokey eye and some fun lip gloss for a pop of color and shine. It brightens my face and outlook.
I blow dry and flat iron my hair and put on makeup!

I usually play up my eyes, but every now & then I love to wear my stila bright red lipstick!
In the summer I like to wear fun, bright colors and give my hair a break from the straightener.
My weekend look is super fresh and easy to do: I start with a fresh face then apply concealer under the eyes and on the lids, quick sweep of blush and my fav nude lipstick to top it off!
I like to try an eye liner with some color - deep purple or dark green are my favorites!
i am all about the winged cateye! makes the weekend very just a bit more glamorous.
For weekends, I like ripped jeans, loose tees, and a messy bun- simple stuff!

My weekend look is still pretty casual, although a great mascara and a wonderful lipstick make all the difference.

I tend to wear the same thing no matter what day of the week, but on the weekends I definitely put on a pair of cute sandals.

Minimal makeup, jeans and a white button down with hennies.
I get it by wearing litle makeup.
I get my weekend look by semi airdrying my hair then blow drying it, slipping into a cute and fitted pair of jeans, a loose colorful top, and then dabbed on mascara, lipgloss, and using my Almay CC cream (which is tinted a little bit and has moisturizer and sunscreen which is so awesome).

My go to is simple and natural looking. Mascara, little beige/brown eyeshadow, a touch of blush and lip gloss.
My hair is usually in a braid on the weekends and I dress in casual clothing with light makeup
It’s all about 1) feeling good 2) feeling comfortable.
Weekends are for the simple, active life. A little mascara, blush, and lip gloss will do the trick. I’d love to try these new Almay products!
