"That's a lot of money to spend on a lipstick! It was then that I knew we could never be friends." -Unknown Valley Girl

You can never go wrong with a good lip color and there's no better time than now to begin stepping out the box. I'll show you a few of my favorites and just promise me that if you love it, you'll buy it!

1. Coloured Raine: This brand has some of the best lip colors that I've seen in awhile and it's my personal favorite. The most popular colors, which can be found as a lip gloss, matte, or lip stick are: Arabian Night, Intimidate, Malibu Barbie and Rebel Raine. Now, the honest truth about this brand is they often times sell out and most of the time I have to pre-order Arabian Night since it is one of their most gorgeous and trendy hue. The orders do come in quickly when there is no wait, which I love about the company. But do you want to know what I love most about Coloured Raine? The names of their lip colors! Who wouldn't want to go out on a date wearing Arabian Night? I'm feeling exotic!

2. Estee Lauder: Recently, Kendall Jenner became the spokesmodel for Estee Lauder and it was announced that her custom designed lipstick known as, "Restless" is now available. It's a hot, steamy, and youthful red. Very smart move, Estee Lauder! Estee Lauder is a brand that has a diverse age range and after reviewing some of their shades I think not only should red-hot Restless be a shade to rock, but the Pure Color Envy collection is in the running for having many shades for the on-the-go girl.

3. J'adore Dior: Dior has one of the smoothest lipsticks and glosses with colors that are undeniably chic and girl's night out ready. If you're a lip gloss lover then the Dior Addict Fluid Stick is for you. With flirtatious colors such as Tiny Pink, Vie D'Enfer, and Intrigue as a part of the collection, your lips are sure to feel the flawless effect with one single sweep of application. I must say, the Dior lipsticks are equally in the running for a must-have during the summer.

Let's face it, the only thing you really need this summer is your swim suit and a lip color that has a nice glow in the sun.

So let's make a vow today to just forget our towels and air dry simply because it's summertime.

Pixie cuts, fishtail braids, wash-n-go’s, or just straight and bouncy, the summer months challenge us to think outside the box, grab some sunscreen, and simplify everything while on vacation.

Before you vacation off to the Virgin Islands or South Beach it's vital that you switch it up a bit or completely step out of your comfort zone. If there is anytime of the year to be bold and experimental with different styles, it's the summer. View the gallery below and if you see something you love, phone your hair stylist and try it out.
