I’m the world’s most boring lipstick-girl. I find one shade I like and stick with it for eternity without ever trying anything new. Almay sent me a bunch of lipsticks from their new line Smart Shade Butter Kiss…. and five sets to give away to TCP readers! I. Can’t. Get. Enough.
I think my lipstick mishaps boil down to a) not knowing what color to choose and b) the textures are either too dry or too sticky. Can anyone else relate? This Almay line solves both those problems. It’s super easy to choose a shade. They’re named after the color and skin tone they look best with (no confusing names that don’t mean anything about the color!) and the texture is incredibly smooth. Like, well, butter!!!! The hydration is extra important for me during the winter because my lips tend to get so dry from just walking around outside all day. (Learn more at almay.com!)
They come in four different colors: Berry, Pink, Nude, and Red.
My mom and sister were over at my apartment last night. We spent a good thirty minutes playing with the lipsticks. We each have different skin tones so it ended up being great for divvying up the lipsticks! Ha! It was crazy to see how the different reds ended up looking with each of our skin tones. I loved the bright color pink (medium) looked in the tube, but we all agreed that the actual light shade looked so much better with my coloring.
The best part is that the lipsticks are available at your favorite drug stores and they’re totally affordable. It’s pretty fantastic. (Hey moms, these would be perfect stocking stuffers!)

PS These are also hypoallergenic… that is a huge selling point for me. (I once had my lips swell up and itch from a bad lip gloss!)
Haha the only reason I don't wear lipstick is because I'm always eating, so I'll end up just eating the lipstick. I love that pink shade though! Maybe I'll make an exception for the holidays… but on the other hand, the best food is holiday food! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey's
The lipstick colors look really pretty, thanks for the recommendation of this brand!

Ahh, so glad that you posted this! I have been looking for the perfect pink style! I usually use matte lipstick, and it dries my lips out so much. I can't wait to try this moisturizing one 🙂

I'm glad I am not the only one who finds one shade and seems to have it forever, but these definitely look like a must try!

I love those colors I'll have to try them out! I also really love Revlon Colorstay lip stains.They give a nice color without the annoying consistencies of lip stick or lip gloss.

I finally got around to trying these. I was skeptical, but love them! Almay was successful at taking the guesswork out choosing a shade to compliment my skin tone. Thanks for the recommendation.
