A great way to get ready for holiday parties is
with tempting lips. After all, you need them to be as enticing as possible
since you never know who and where you might be under the mistletoe with.
NYC
New York Color sent me some hot recommendations of their various lines to
get you prepped in style with the most trendy shades of the season.
Ranging from deep plums to vibrant reds to shocking hot pinks, these are the
colors to you get noticed!
To give you some inspiration, I photographed the
eight products you may want to pick up. Starting on the left and working
to the right is: City Duet 2- in-1 Lipstick in (#423 The Hot Pinks);
City Proof 8 Hr Lip Glosses (#452 Perpetually Hot Pink and #454
Round the Clock Ruby); Smooch Proof 16 HR Lip Stains (#494 Smooch
Proof, #497 Rock on Ruby and #495 Endless Spice), and the Big Bold
Plumping Lip Glosses (#475 Plumped Plum and #471 Supersized Red on
the far right).
The Big Bold Plumping Lip Gloss has a
bigger sponge and really packed intense shine in a comfortable formula. I
didn't notice much plumping, but loved the warmth and glistening power of this
plum laced with brown in #475. The red in #471 is warm as
well with a trace of orange to punch it up. It retails for $3.99 a tube
and does wear very nicely for hours without letting you down or escaping from
your lip line.

The City Duet 2-in-1 Lipstick is fun to
create new looks with because it has two sides of different color. One
half of #423 is a bold fuchsia and the other is a cool lilac-pink. Just
changing the way you apply each side can darken or lighten for endless
possibilities for $2.99.

Smooch Proof 16 Hr Lip Stain can help you
out of a bind after those kisses keep coming. This is highly pigmented
color in pen form that stays put for hours on end even through mistletoe, food,
and drinks. The tip is easy enough to line with before filling in the
color. However, you might want to top it off with some lip balm or gloss
to hydrate your lips. Color wise #495 is a beautiful red-brown, #497
is a deeper red than #494. These lip stains retail for $4.99 each.

City Proof 8 Hr Lip Gloss is awesome all
around for the texture, feel, color, and incredible wear. #454 is a rich
deep red infused with pink while #452 is a hot pink. This gloss retails
for $3.49 a piece.

I do think NYC New York Color makes
fabulous affordable lip products. Check them out when shopping because if
never hurts to be mistletoe ready!
