There’s nothing more invigorating than squirting on a bit of body splash after a nice shower during the warmer months. For me, spraying on my favorite body splash is the perfect alternative to perfume because it gives me a hint of scent without being too overwhelming. Plus, it just makes me feel so refreshed and clean!

Tired of your favorite glosses and lipsticks always leaving your lips? If so, perhaps lip stains are the answer to your beauty prayers! Unlike glosses and lipsticks, stains are virtually weightless, meaning you can’t feel anything on your pretty pout. Plus, they’re highly pigmented giving your pucker the right amount of color that’s usually long-lasting and won’t smear or smudge.

Are you a fan of lip stains? Would you try one?

The array of hues complements the pigment of brown eyes, by making them stand out – what’s not to love?
