Trend Alert: Bubble Gum Pink Lips

February 10, 2009

Lately, I've noticed various stars out and about sporting similar shades of pink lips. It's a little bit playful and a little bit retro, but it's sure got snap — just like bubble gum itself. Whether it's a matte finish like Drew Barrymore and Salma Hayek, or it's got some shine à la Rihanna and Lindsay Price, one thing's for sure, this look is hubba hubba — er, bubba.

I dont really care for this trend, at least, not for me. I would look like I was trying to hard.

Maybelline has some great glossy shades for this trend! When I was buying my latest tube I came across a lot of candy pink shades in their wet look and diamonds lipsticks.

Even if you can "pull this off" it doesn't seem a bit flattering, so what's the point?

I'll pass on this one. It seems too teeny-bopper to me.
