So many amazing drugstore lipsticks, so little time. I’ve rounded up the best drugstore lip products with 5 options for summer! Reds, pinks, and bronze shimmers are all in.

When summer rolls around, I’m immediately ready to bust out my orangey-red lipsticks and hot colors. I’m a “nude lip” girl through and through, but there’s something so fun about a bright color for summer. Today I’m rounding up my top 5 best drugstore lipsticks for summer!

The Best Drugstore Lip Products – 5 Options for Summer!

1. Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lip in Orange Red

Houston beauty blogger Meg O. shares the best drugstore lip products for summer - Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lipstick in Orange Red

The Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lip in Orange Red is by far my most favorite summer lipstick. The line of liquid lipsticks are also available at Target, but I can never find Orange Red there. However, there are some other beautiful shades in stock at Target (click that link to see)!


2. Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayon in Treat Yourself

The Maybelline SuperStay Ink Crayons are some of my absolute favorite lipstick formulas of all time. The shade Treat Yourself is a stunning bold blue-toned hot pink. You can find this product on Amazon (lowest price) Target, Walmart, and Ulta! Right now, the best price is on Amazon.


3. Milani Keep it Full Nourishing Lip Plumper in Natural Luster

The Milani Keep it Full Nourishing Lip Plumper is a gorgeous lip plumping gloss. It comes in a lot of different shades. I love the shade Natural Luster – it has a shimmery bronze tone to it which is not overpowering but looks amazing with a bronzey makeup look. You can find this product at Ulta, Walmart, and Target (although the Natural Luster shade is not available at Walmart and Target at this time – but it looks like Nude Shimmer is similar).

4. Physicians Formula Butter Lip Cream in Samba Red

The Physicians Formula Butter Lip Cream in Samba Red is a an easy-to-wear glossy red. If you’re scared of trying a bold lip but want to get your feet wet, I highly recommend starting off with something like this lipstick. They’re incredibly moisturizing and comfortable to wear – love the formula! You can find this shade on Amazon and Walmart (lowest price)!

5. NYX Butter Gloss in Vanilla Cream Pie

The NYX Butter Gloss in Vanilla Cream Pie is a beautiful light pink shade that’s perfect year round, but especially for summer! The gloss formula is amazing, and is a cult favorite product among many. It can be worn alone or on top of a liner/lipstick. You can find this product on Amazon (lowest price!), Target, Ulta, and Walmart.


What’s your favorite lip product to wear in summer? Give me all the bright, bold colors!

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been worki I mentioned a few weeks ago that I have been working on restoring the after affects of my postpartum hair loss. I’ve been using @bondiboost supplements and products to regrow, nourish, and prevent further loss. One product I’ve been taking is the Anti Hair-Loss Supplement, which is perfect for anyone suffering from thinning hair and noticeable hair fall. It’s formulated with Biota Orientalis, which is an herb traditionally used in Chinese medicine to reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. In the month I’ve been taking this supplement, I’ve noticed less hair shedding in the shower and when brushing my hair. I can’t wait to see what continued use will do for my hair!

All three are wonderful affordable alternatives, but I definitely think one is a super close dupe! Check out my IG stories or the latest post on my blog (link in bio) to see my verdict!

Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing a Who has done an excessive amount of hand washing and hand sanitizing this past year? 🙋🏼‍♀️ That would be all of us. 😅 #DovePartner I know your hands are probably dry and angry and the rest of your body could use some moisture during the winter months. @krogerco has an amazing selection of personal care and beauty products that can help you be your best self this year. I’ve been loving the new @dove Nourishing Hand Sanitizer - it kills germs and actually feels moisturizing! And, of course, the Deep Moisture Body Wash is an old favorite of mine - great for the winter months or just for all the extra washing we’re having to do right now. Save time by adding Beauty and Personal Care products to your Kroger shopping cart, and your dry skin will thank you later. #UnileverPartner #UnileveratKroger #KrogerBestofBeauty
How we feel during yet another unprecedented event How we feel during yet another unprecedented event🤪 This Texas winter storm was wild, and completely heartbreaking to witness. It’s been a very hard week, and we are some of the lucky ones! Going without power for 3 days was not fun, but we’re very thankful we do not have any damage or burst pipes. 

So many people have quickly responded and been so generous. Neighbors helping each other, kindness from grocery stores and restaurants, and help from people out of state has really made me proud. We will get through this 💪🏻

I’m sharing a bunch of resources in my stories, and I’m saving it all to a “HELP TEXAS” highlight. Feel free to share it or reference it!

Why does nothing surprise me anymore? 😂 We clearly don’t know how to deal and a lot of people were without power today (us included). Had to post this pic of the kids before Logan decided he was over it. His first snow, and he was not a fan. 😂 Hope all of my Texas friends are staying warm!

I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum I’ve said this many times before, but postpartum hair loss stinks! Even though I’m 1.5 years out from having a baby, I am still experiencing after effects. My hairline is still thin, and I’ve got a lot of baby hairs I’d like to grow faster. To help speed things along, I’m starting a “hair glow up” challenge with @bondiboost products. First product I want to mention is the Hair Growth Support Supplement. This product and their anti hair-loss support supplement are scientifically formulated to promote hair growth and reduce hair loss and thinning. Plus, they’re vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, FDA approved, and made in Australia. The Hair Growth Support Supplement contains awesome ingredients like zinc, silicon, biotin, and ascorbic acid to support the maintenance of healthy hair. Can’t wait to see what it’ll do for my baby hairs! [sponsored] #BondiBoost #BoostYourRoots
If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of If you bleach or color your hair, what are some of the ways you like to keep your hair healthy? Here are some of the things I do:

▪️ Stretch my color sessions every 3-4 months. I know bleach and color services can weaken hair, so I like a lived-in rooted blonde that looks awesome as it grows out.
▪️ Air dry my hair after washing and use hot tools sparingly.
▪️ Use color-safe products at home.
▪️ Most recently, I've started incorporating the new @redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate line.

This new launch from Redken is exciting, as I am a big fan of the brand (I go to a Redken salon and find that their color is the best of all I've tried). The Acidic Bonding Concentrate range is specifically formulated with an acidic pH to defend against the negative effect of hair coloring, styling tools, and even water - to bring hair back into a healthy pH range. In trials, these products were shown to provide a 56% reduction of breakage, 11X smoother hair, 88% reduction of visual split ends, color fade protection, and ultimate conditioning. Say what? Sign me up! 

After the short amount of time I've used these products, I've felt that my hair feels stronger, smoother, and less brittle at the ends. I can't wait to see what prolonged use will do! #redkenpartner #redkenready #acidicbondingconcentrate
