    National Lipstick Day-Eve 💄

    Thursday, July 29th is National Lipstick Day and after a year filled with masks, we are ready to celebrate! This season’s lip trends are literally ALL OVER THE PLACE! All shades, formulations, and finishes are welcome. Today I visited my beautiful friends at Tampa Bay’s Morning Blend to share some glam about my favorite nudes, mattes, and even a pick for a lip primer with SPF.
    Products are listed in the order they appeared on our tv segment .
