Style Favorites: Maternity Edition

I'm currently 7 weeks postpartum and cleared to start getting back to "normal" activity. It seems like enough time to have had a look at what I wore during my pregnancy and to know what I really liked and what didn't work for me.  I showed really late, I was probably around 25-26 weeks before I had a bump that took me out of my normal clothes and even then I was still fairly small. Because of that I didn't really invest in maternity clothing. By the time I got to the point where things didn't fit or I didn't like how they fit I was less than 10 weeks from my due date. That said, we had 3 weddings to attend this year and my baby shower. I also worked until I went into labor, which was luckily a Sunday, so I did have to dress myself until the end. Another disclaimer, I was able to have a relaxed wardrobe for work which also kept me from buying more maternity wear and using what I had in my closet.

Black Lips

A few weeks or so ago I was really looking into black lipstick. I was suddenly inspired and searched around for a few options. I haven't gotten around to getting any of them yet, I don't know any stores that sell the brands I found so I might just have to order some but should you also be inspired for black lipstick I just figured I'd give you a few leads. So I first came across Lime Crime when searching out their Velvetines Lip Gloss, these super pigmented lip glosses that dry to a matte finish. I could die, so good. Once I finally found the name and got to their website I looked into their other products. Turns out they have an extensive Opaque lipstick color range. From baby blue to classic red and of course, black.

I didn't know when I first found this that it's a limited edition so I might suck it up and buy it. They're $18 and I don't really spend that much on makeup typically because I don't wear it daily or anything but for this baby I might be willing to go for it. Well after I saw the price tag I decided to try and see if there was anything comparable but for a cheaper price.
Portland Black Lipstick Co.
My search led me to Portland Black Lipstick Co. They do all natural lipsticks (always a plus) in a bunch of unusual colors including my desired black. Plus they come in a fun chapstick tube which I think is pretty fun. The black isn't really as opaque as the Lime Crime version from looks on the website but it's only $10 and they do samples for $1 which is pretty cool so I'll probably try out one or two colors to see which I like better. But I never say not to a double duty product. I'll let you know if things go well.
