Highlight Your Lips! #HighlightCosmetics

Hello, Fireflies!

Usually the last makeup item I put on before my look is done is my lipstick.  The perfect lippie can take a look a totally transform it - and my mood.  Bold, matte, glossy, nude - whatever the lipstick, if I feel good in it, it can put a smile on my face.  I've been testing out this new lipstick from Highlight, and it has definitely put a smile on my face!

I admit it.  When I first saw this packaging, I fell in love.  The black and gold with clear is very chic, and it feel substantial and luxe.  And I love the faux lipstick bullet!  It had me fooled for a minute, because I knew it was a liquid lipstick, but it looks so convincing!  The cap twists off to reveal a doe-foot applicator that is soft and just glides over the lips.

Not only is the packaging pretty awesome, so is what's inside.  Highlight's philosophy is to take care of your insides while the outside is highlighted. They put some great, nourishing ingredients in their lipsticks to get the job done, like turmeric, an anti-inflammatory, that also has anti-aging and wrinkle-reducing properties, tea extracts that are high in anti-oxidants, and peptides.

Their products are also made in the USA, nontoxic, free from parabens, and glutens, and also not tested on animals.

This gorgeous purple metallic is called Rare Nebbiolo, and is named after a red wine grape.  It may look intense, but it is a very wearable purple!  I love all things metallic right now, and this lipstick has the perfect sheen, without looking glittery or dated.

I can't stop wearing this lipstick, and I need more of their colors.  It's so long-wearing, I can eat and drink and it's still there (oily foods will dissolve just about any lip product, though.)  It's so comfortable, I can wear it all day and forget I have it on.  I've even accidentally fallen asleep with it on... it didn't get all over the pillow, and no dry lips the next day, either!  

If you've been looking for a comfortable, long-wearing liquid lipstick in matte or metallic finishes, that is as good for your lips as it looks on your lips, then you might love Highlight Cosmetics as much as I do.  For more information, or to purchase, you can find them on Instagram, or on their webpage, where their liquid lipsticks currently retail for $25 each.
