Spring 2014 Lip Trends

Hi beautifuls!

I want to start off by telling all of those who commented in my birthday post a very big THANK YOU!!! I am truly appreciative of your kind thoughts and words! 

Today I'm going to share with you a few different spring lip trends that's currently going on for 2014. Tanya from Leopard, Lace, and Cheesecake asked me to join in on her collaboration and I was very excited to take part!

A few other blogging beauties also took part!

• Lily at Beauty with Lily
• Jackie at FiveTwo Certified
• El at The Beauty Isle

I chose to feature the Pantone color of the year which by now I'm sure you know that Radiant Orchid took the crown for 2014!

I don't have the exact Radiant Orchid lipstick but I do have similar shades to it and for this collab, I chose my Bite Beauty lipstick in "Violet" to showcase. You can check out my in-depth review on the Bite Beauty lipsticks here!

I do want to mention that I've looked up reviews on the Pantone color of the year and the shade looks different on everyone - in my case, the shade Violet looks more pink than purple on me. Just wanted to throw that out there in case a thought of "hey that's not the color of the year!" when you see my FOTD picture, lol =)

Another thing I need to mention, my husband bought me the Urban Decay Electric Palette for my birthday and I used it for the very first time today! Stay tune for an in-depth review on that! =D
