Favorite Four MLBB Lipsticks

MLBB…what does that mean you may ask? It means My Lips But Better, which are some of my favorite lipsticks shades to wear. Sometimes you feel like adding a little bit of color and/or shine to your lips but don’t really feel like doing so with lip balm or lipgloss. That is where MLBB shades come in. They emphasize the natural beauty of your lips while adding that touch of sophistication you feel while wearing lipstick.

My favorite drugstore lipstick brands are Revlon and Maybelline. Maybelline Born With It ColorSensational Lipstick is my go-to drugstore MLBB because it is a beautiful softened pink-nude with a soft champagne shimmer and a creamy finish. The shimmer really isn’t obvious but it gives a beautiful sheen on the lips. The coverage is almost opaque but now quite full coverage, which I like because it looks extremely natural on the lips. This is by far my favorite Maybelline lipstick of all the ones I own because it just looks so natural and stunning on the lips.

MAC is known for having AMAZING lipsticks and my favorite formulas from them are the cremesheen and the amplified formulas. MAC Creme Cup is a cremesheen formula and is an amazingly pigmented cool toned light pink. The formula of this lipstick is creamy and slightly glossy in appearance. I am not a big “nude” lip color wearer because I feel like nude lips wash me out but I do love me a light, close to the color of my lips, pink shade! This is my favorite MLBB MAC lipstick of the moment and I highly recommend it to any of you other non-pigmented lip girls out there.

NARS, NARS, NARS…why you always gotta tempt me so much with your fancy products that have crazy expensive price tags? NARS Dolce Vita had been on my wish list for YEARS and I finally broke down this last fall and bought it with a gift card from my brother. It is the most expensive lipstick I own and you might wonder why I would pay over $20 for a MLBB shade? The answer is because I wear it ALL the time so it’s worth it to me. NARS Dolce Vita  has a beautiful sheer formula and is infused with ingredients to help condition and moisturize the lips. This sheer build-able natural rosy shade is universally flattering on many skin tones and is a perfect MLBB shade.

Rimmel Airy Fairy is one of the most raved about drugstore lipsticks in the online beauty community and for very good reason. Airy Fairy is a gorgeous baby pink and like Born With It, it has a champagne/gold shimmer running throughout it that looks more like a sheen on the lips then a shimmer. Even though I have a warm skin tone, I find this lipstick still works with me because of my light/medium skin. Airy Fairy is less opaque then the other shades but I still love it and would recommend it.
