When it comes to my makeup routine I rarely stray from my norm. I like to keep things as simple as possible but some days I get the urge to spice things up...just a bit. I usually do this one of two ways: add highlights OR add a bold lip. 

For this glam-fest I turned to Buxom's collection of Bold Gel Lipsticks. I tend to be a bit indecisive so picking between the 30 shades proved to be both a blessing and a curse. So, in classic indecisive girl fashion I accepted that since I couldn't choose one, I'd just take both! (heh, heh, heh)

I set my sights on the shades Voodoo Spice and Racy Reveal. The light pink is great for the day while the darker, burgundy color screams let's grab a cocktail! A major plus for me and my chronically dry lips is how moisturizing these are. 

It's pretty amazing how much a lip color can completely transform the vibe of a look or even your overall demeanor. For instance, my boyfriend says when he met me my red lips were pretty intimidating. I'll take that as a compliment! But moral of this story is that if you're looking for an easy way to change up your look to feel strong, bold, or flirty- there's nothing easier than grabbing your favorite shade. Throwing shade optional ;)
