One of my fave things about LipSense (aside from its staying power) is that you can create your own custom shades by layering colors. If you’re not familiar with the product, application is the key. You need to apply three thin layers, starting from the outside corner of your mouth sweeping in a fluid motion across your lip in one direction. Let each layer dry for 15-30 seconds before applying the next layer. The long-lasting properties of LipSense are enhanced by our moisturizing glosses which feature Shea Butter to help keep your lips moist, plump and protected.

I wanted to give you an example of how you can create some great color combos by mixing up the order of colors and layering sequence. I chose Bombshell, Blu Red (Christina Aguilera’s signature color) and Berry because I think a solid neutral, red and a berry shade are all essential to a girl’s beauty arsenal. So here you go, for $95 ($75 if you already have a gloss) you get 27 lip colors! I’m all about beauty bargains especially with products that are amazeballs.
