Why I Love It:<\/h3>\n

There are actually<\/em>\u00a03 reasons these made my lip picks list:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You can apply it in 1 swipe<\/strong> – the wide side of the stick will cover your lip from top to bottom and give you even coverage the whole way.<\/li>\n
  2. You can use it as a lip liner<\/strong> – the thin side of the stick is slim enough to act as the perfect lip liner to give your lips that polished finish.<\/li>\n
  3. These aren’t your Grandma’s lip colors<\/strong> – the 17 shades are so good. Like, real<\/em> good. They’re extremely modern and up to date! They range from the perfect nude<\/a> to the\u00a0berriest berry <\/a>+ they don’t have any two that are so close in shade that they leave you wondering why they even bothered.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My ultra-pigmented favorites from this line are definitely my new go-to red\u00a0Rouge Paradoxe<\/a>, Ambiguous Beige<\/a>, +\u00a0Fuschia Excentrique<\/a>!<\/p>\n
