Fave 5: A collaborative blogger video Series- My Top 5 Lipsticks

When my blogger friend Britt, ( Brittney Mason of  The Pretty Plus) asked me if I wanted to do a collaboration for a YouTube series, I’ll admit I was a little scared. Making a YouTube video is nerve wracking people! So here it goes!

There will be three bloggers participating in this collaboration, including myself.  The first is Brittney Mason, mentioned above- the god mother of plus size #ootd’s and  the sweet and bubbly, Ashley Wottring of Fashionately Me.

We  will be releasing a new video each Wednesday for the next 10 weeks on a different beauty topic/category of products. I’ll also be adding in a cocktail to each week’s video, because. . .  cocktails.

Check out my 5 most worn lipsticks, and subscribe to my channel at the top of this post!

This weeks cocktail was a Spiced Apple Rum Cider. Super easy and WAY better than a pumpkin spice latte! Ingredients are as follows:

• 2 oz. Spiced Rum (I used Captain Morgan)
• 1/2 Amaretto Disaronno
• 2 0z apple cider
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tbsp Lockerbean’s Vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp honey or other sweetener (optional)
• handful of fresh apple slices/chunks.
• Build over ice, shake and serve in pimp cup.

So, I realize I really only covered 3 brands of lip colors here. However, these are my favorite and most worn. This week’s trip to Sephora might change that, but I wanted to show you all colors I actually wear. What are your favorite lip colors? Any MUST HAVES I should try?
