Aicha’s Recommendation:
Ladies and gents, it’s time to get real about beauty and budgets. Before you shell out the big bucks for a designer lipstick, why not try a drugstore dupe first? And trust us, the NYX Maison Matte Lipstick is a standout option for anyone looking for a budget-friendly alternative to STONE from MAC.
I know, I know. Lipstick is the last thing on your mind when you’re dealing with economic breakdown caused by greedy national/international policy makers. But, sometimes a little pop of color on your lips can be the pick-me-up you need to power through the day.
So, what are you waiting for? Book one-way ticket to bold and beautiful Maison Matte and get ready to fall in love with bold, beautiful lip color.
