the “Nutmeg” shade is my go-to product for a warm, brown lip! I love pairing this liner with the Faux Filler gloss from Huda Beauty

a dupe for the Laniege lip mask that I like BETTER! I use this every night before bed and in the morning before makeup to ensure my lips are moisturized throughout the day. And it's so affordable!

I have one of these glosses in each of my purses. The chokehold that Fenty Glow and Hot Chocolit have on me needs to be studied.
