Now, I may not be an avid lipstick wearer due to having extremely sensitive skin, but every now and then on special occasions, I love adding just a bit of color to my lips to really make them pop! I was actually introduced to lipstick at a fairly young age, due to my being in dance, and would have to wear lipstick for all of our end of the year recitals in June. I found it quite strange at nine-years-old wearing a bright red lipstick; it almost felt forbidden to me. But I grew to like the way it looked as the years wore on. I remember falling in love with this one particular beautiful lipstick in seventh grade, and even though the lipstick looked close to being black, when I put it on my lips for the first time, it was a super dark plum color that was simply gorgeous! That was my favorite lipstick for the longest time after that. With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, there are a plethora of lipsticks to choose from! Here are 10 beautiful lipsticks from Ulta that are just too good not to flaunt on that special day of love.
I love this brand a lot actually; their products work fairly well with my sensitive skin. This beautiful lipstick, aptly named Intuition, is the perfect shade of red that is not too overly bright or dark. I love how it’s a shade that’s similar to a brick red; which is truly a lovely color. Also, good news for you vegans out there, it’s a mineral-infused vegan lipstick! This lipstick will definitely succeed in wowing your spouse or date on Valentine’s Day. Even if you’re single, treat yourself like the queen you are with this gorgeous shade of lipstick!

I love this brand for the fun and playful vibes it easily gives off! If I’m ever on the prowl for some wild makeup colors, I always turn to NYX. I instantly fell in love with this beautiful lipstick shade when I first laid eyes on it. I’m an avid fan of darker lipsticks, since they contrast beautifully with my porcelain skin. This lipstick shade is called Girl, Bye, and is definitely appropriately named as it is quite the sassy color of berry. If you’re wanting to go for a darker and sultrier look for Valentine’s Day, then this lipstick is a perfect choice!

Revlon is definitely one of my go-to brands when it comes to makeup products like lipstick. I know that it’s good and reliable, and I’ll always find the shade that I need with no issues! Normally, I’m not the biggest fan of nude lipsticks, but for some reason this one spoke to me. This beautiful lipstick, aptly named Caramel Grace, is the color of a pink hued caramel, and is nothing short of stunning! In my opinion, this is the perfect shade of lipstick to wear if you’re trying to go for a more natural look on Valentine’s Day.

It was actually one of my cousins who first introduced me to this brand, and I absolutely loved it right off the bat! I’m a huge fan of their eyeshadow palettes; specifically any of the Naked eyeshadow palettes. I truly loved this beautiful lipstick when I first saw it, and how the shade reminded me of one of the first lipsticks I owned growing up. This hot pink lipstick, named Anarchy, is truly a perfectly pouty shade! Show off a bit of your wild side on Valentine’s Day with this gorgeous lipstick.

Lancôme is another one of those reliable brands that I favor when it comes down to lipstick. Like Revlon, Lancôme has been around since the 1930’s, and has a great reputation. This is definitely one of my favorite colors when it comes to lipstick; I just love the darker pinks! The name of this beautiful lipstick is Jezebel, which seems fitting in regards to the color; it truly is wicked. I can honestly say that this lipstick is simply ideal for flaunting on Valentine’s Day!

Nothing is sexier than the ideal shade of red lipstick, and this particular one fits the bill perfectly. This beautiful lipstick is appropriately named Ruby Woo, and is a stunning blue-red color in a matte finish. If you plan on spending a long evening out on Valentine’s Day, this lipstick won’t fail you, and will stay just as vibrant as when you first put it on throughout the night.

This is yet another brand that I’m not too familiar with, but have friends who absolutely love it, and have recommended it to me on occasion. I’ll be honest when I say that this particular lipstick greatly reminds me of the one I fell in love with when I was in seventh grade. It’s almost the same exact shade, and I just knew that I had to include it! This beautiful lipstick is simply named Maroon, due to its dark and rich deep plum coloring. I love that this lipstick also contains hyaluronic acid, and will definitely help in keeping your lips moisturized and beautiful this Valentine’s Day. It’s difficult to say no to this sultry plum lipstick!

I’ve actually recently taken quite the liking to this brand of makeup, and I’m so happy that I did! It’s truly thanks to the makeup tutorial videos that I find myself watching more often than not; they love recommending this brand. I really love this shade of lipstick by NARS, as it’s the perfect combination of pink and shimmery, but not too over the top. The shimmer in this beautiful lipstick, called Instant Crush, is my absolute favorite part. I also like the fact that it’s a nude lipstick, which makes it ideal for those of us who want to go for a more subtle look on Valentine’s Day!

Maybelline has been one of my go-to makeup brands for a very long time due to it being affordable, and easy to find at most grocery stores. I’ve branched out since I started wearing daily makeup at 14, but I know that I can always count on this particular brand. I do like the color of this beautiful lipstick for it being a nude. Although it looks to be closer to a coral color, this lipstick is actually a rich nude with brown undertones when put on your lips. Plus, I love the creaminess of this lipstick, and how bold the color is; a little goes a long way. If you’re going for a subtler sexy look on Valentine’s Day, this lipstick is a superb choice!
