First Time Wearing Lipstick - Color Swatches

Hello all! Last week I continued a series on my Journey Into Beauty with a post about tips for wearing lipstick. Valentine's Day is coming up and if you've never really gotten in to wearing lipstick, holidays are a great time to try them out! Since last week's post was getting way too long, I decided to wait for the color samples and swatches for this week. So without further ado, here are my favorite lip products!

For more information about each type and about how to apply lip color for the first time, see this post.
