I’ve always respected people who don’t save their fancy underwear for special occasions — even though no one can see it, they carry themselves differently knowing that they look and feel cute. That’s kind of my current philosophy about lipstick: After months upon months of letting my 100-tube collection go untouched, I decided to start wearing it underneath my mask for mundane events.
Through lots of trial and error, I’ve discovered the ones that won’t tragically smear all over the inside of my mask, one of which is the Bite Beauty Power Move Lip Crayon. The hydrating matte formula applies easily thanks to the thin, pointed tip and doesn’t budge, even if you double-mask or chow down on a burger for lunch. It comes in lots of different shades, all of which are on sale today for 50 percent off. I’m a fan of the very ’90s Hard Cider that resembles something you’d see on Cindy Crawford or Rachel on Friends. But if you’re not into this one, there are plenty more to choose from — just act quickly, since many are already sold out. One last note: Use the code FREESHIP to score — you guessed it — free shipping.
