10 Lipsticks To Try In  2016

I have a problem. Every time I walk into a store that carries makeup, my wallet magically opens. If you seem to have this problem as well, hopefully I can steer you in the right direction with a few lipstick purchases that you won't regret. Here are my top 10 lipstick picks for 2016.

1. Revlon Colorburst Balm Stain / Matte Stain all shades - $10

While the Colorburst collection in its entirety is beautiful, the original balm stain gives you a lustre finish on your lips in the hue of your choice while the matte stain drenches your lips in opaque color. The Matte Stains might have a better staying power for long wear situations, if you are more of a lip balm fan, the original balm stains are an easy switch. My favorites include "Honey" (a sheer pinky-mauve shade) from the original line and "Striking" (A fire-engine red) "Sultry" (a toned down version of the Kylie Jenner lip-craze of 2k15) and "Shameless" (A kick ass purple) from the matte stain line.

2. NYX Matte Lipstick all shades - $6

NYX does not compromise the standards of their products because of their low price. These lipsticks do not disappoint, however you do need a little lip balm before and after application as this particular formulation is very drying. Look up "Goal Digger" (not pictured) which is sold out almost everywhere for a reason.

3. Wet and Wild Fergie Creme Lipstick in Ferguson Crest Cabernet - $3

This lipstick was a buy on the hunt for a dupe of MAC's "Rebel". I have loved this lipstick so much that I bought it again and given to my mother, who only gets my highest recommendations. I now prefer this to MAC's "Rebel". Also, something about this lipstick is flattering on anyone who tries it.

4. Maybelline Color Sensational all shades, but honorable mention to Crazy For Coffee - $8

When a satin lipstick is too sticky or if the color slides off my lips, I'm not a fan. I thought I wasn't going to be a fan of this particular collection but they are true satin finishes, not drying or sticky to the touch. They can be slippery if you eat with this lipstick on, so carry the tube with you. This line also carries a ga-jillion colors so you are likely to find one you love.

5. Miliani Color Statement Lipstick in Power Pink and Black Cherry - $6

While I am a fan of this entire makeup line two lipsticks stand out in the pack. "Power Pink" is what I would describe as the Barbie pink we love to hate while "Black Cherry" is a plumy burgundy which has an unexpected pearlized shimmer.

6. Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick in Fiery - $24

Fiery. This color has broken the internet with its ability to become the perfect red lipstick on every single human who has tried on the shade. This shade also gets points because blue toned reds make your teeth look extra clean and sparkly.

7. Lime Crime, all lip products - $20 + shipping (online only)

If you don't mind the scandal which surrounds this company..the products are highly pigmented and also packaged in an aesthetically pleasing way. My roommate has one of their Velvetine liquid lipsticks and she adores it. My personal favorites are "Salem" for obvious reasons and "Cashmere" although with a grey-toned lipstick I might look a little like a zombie ... can we get zombie lips to trend? #zombielips

8. Nars Velvet Matte / Satin Lip Pencils in Dragon Girl and Luxembourg - $26

By the end of this list you might have figured out that I like red lipstick. Guilty. At least "Dragon Girl" has been backed-up the stylized Taylor Swift. I prefer the Velvet Matte pencils by Nars but I will say that "Luxembourg," a color which can only be described on the lips as watermelon pink, is a dream.


9. MAC Lipsticks, all shades within the Matte, Amplified, and Satin formulations - $17

My dear old friends. I have...ten MAC lipsticks. Five of which are shades of red. I can talk to you for days about MAC lipsticks but I shall instead tell you the most lust-worthy shades; "Russian Red," "Girl About Town," and "Syrup."

10. Bobbi Brown Lip Color - $27

Lipstick from Bobbi Brown just feels like you are worth a million bucks when you apply it. Same luxe factor as Tom Ford for half the price.

If your lipstick don't quit, neither should you!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
