    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The Coziest Winter Nail Colors for January 2022

    The beginning of a new year often has us all feeling like starting off fresh by taking on better habits, getting rid of old ones, and—most commonly—changing up our look. While others are hitting the squats and going into the salon for a pixie cut, why not start slow and steady with a cozy winter manicure in a color that feels new to you? It takes only a little courage to step outside your usual OPI Lincoln Park After Dark or Essie Bordeaux, which is all you need to kick 2022 off on a fanciful foot.  From new wintry takes on classic dark nail colors to unique pops of color that'll have you feeling the opposite of boring, these are the best nail colors to try this January and tick off all the way into spring.

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    16 Kitchen Design Trends Southern Designers Predict Will Be Everywhere in 2022

    There's no denying how the pandemic fundamentally changed the world—including how we live (and work) inside our homes. An overall trend toward celebrating the history and originality of our homes is displacing ultramodern aesthetics and sharp lines as we all look to create cozier, colorful, more personalized spaces that better suit our lifestyles. We're turning away from big-box stores and toward vintage items—first, out of necessity due to supply-chain issues, and now, for design reasons—to add charm and character to every room in the house, including the kitchen. Here, interior designers from around the South share their predictions for what's trending in kitchen design for 2022 and beyond.

Best Lipsticks for Fine Lines
Credit: Dior
We're not shy about our weakness for a flutter-maximizing mascara, and we aren't ashamed to admit our borderline-concerning dependence on dark circle-busting concealer—but nothing will ever, ever compare to our love for lipstick. Why do Southern women love lipstick so?Because the woman doesn't make the mascara or the concealer, but the woman most certainly makes the lipstick. She chooses between bright red, dusty rose, and barely-there pink; she decides whether to go with matte, satin, or glossy finish. It's the ultimate beauty moment, totally customized.As we get older, lipstick can start changing its tune. Suddenly creamy formulas are bleeding into fine lines, and things start looking more melted crayon than Marilyn Monroe. That's when we know it's time to make the switch to long-lasting, matte formulas. Just a tiny tweak, it keeps your lipstick from bleeding and smudging (watch out, fine lines and wrinkled lips!).First comes prep. Follow these guidelines for how to stop lipstick from bleeding into fine lines and ensure your lipstick stays all day. Repeat after us: Exfoliate, prime, line, and powder. Next comes the formula. For that, we've rounded up the best lipsticks with major staying power. From drugstore to designer, and from bold red to pretty pink, you'll find just the age-defying lipstick to fit your style and budget.Here are the best long-wear lipsticks that don't bleed into fine line or wrinkles.

NARS Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil

Go-To Shade: Dolce Vita

It's an icon for a reason—that being, you won't find a velvety matte finish as perfect as this lipstick pencil. Not to mention, it boasts a color range full of nudes, pinks, reds, and purples that will make you start a running must-have list.

The most popular shade is undeniably this dusty rose color, with the classic reds ("Cruella" and "Dragon Girl") coming in a close second and third place.

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Color

Go-To Shade: Temptation

What we love about this drugstore lippie is that it offers a soft matte finish without drying out your lips. It feels lightweight enough to forget you have it on (proceed with caution!) and will stay put through coffee and lunch. We'll vouch for that.

You'll find a fun pop of color in this hot raspberry-pink shade, but Southern gals will also love the classic red, "Love."

Physicians Formula The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lip Color

Go-To Shade: Coral Minerals

A long-wear velvet lip color that comes complete with anti-aging benefits? We'll take two! It glides on with a mousse-like texture and packs your lips with hydrating and smoothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamins A & E, and anti-aging peptides. This warm coral shade is basically a kicked-up version of your everyday nude.

Go-To Shade: Hustle In Heels 

We don't always trust the new kid on the block, but this long-wear crayon lipstick deserves the attention. The precise tip helps the color glide onto your lips with ease and exactness. Stayability? Well, it's in the name.

Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer

Go-To Shade: Nude Pop

What makes this Clinique product stand out amongst its many fan-favorites (hello, Almost Lipstick in "Black Honey!") is the built-in primer. It smoothes and moisturizes, which makes a huge difference when it comes to wrinkled lips, but does not sacrifice lasting color thanks to a modern velvet finish. This shade will be your ultimate everyday nude.

IT Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush 4-in-1 Reviver Lipstick Stain

Go-To Shade: Pretty Woman

We couldn't pick any other shade, even if just for the name. What exactly does 4-in-1 mean? Think a product that's somehow equal parts balm, lipstick, stain, and gloss. This product is formulated to have the hydration of a balm, the lasting effect of a stain, and a natural-looking flush of long-wear color.

NYX Lip Lingerie Liquid Lipstick

Go-To Shade: Embellishment

Any lipstick lover will tell you: This drugstore matte color is basically heaven-sent—and on a budget, too. We'll back them up. You won't find a more reliable liquid lipstick to tote around in your purse.

It's easy to apply (like a lip gloss that dries into a perfect long-wear matte finish) and comes in the most shades. Every autumn, we find ourselves stocking up on this muted mauve. 

Don't be fooled, though. This is as matte as it gets; don't purchase if you're really looking for a demi-matte or satin finish.

Dior Rouge Lipstick

Go-To Shade: 999 (Duh!)

It’s an absolute, perfect true red that works on any skin tone and makes its incredible quality known upon first swipe. Basically...the holy grail of lip color. Go with the satin or matte finish—because it's not going to go anywhere, regardless. It might be Christian Dior's ultimate secret. 

BUY IT: $37; sephora.com

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

Go-To Shade: Bacca

You might recognize the name from Stila's cult-favorite eyeliner. Just like its long-wear sibling, this liquid lipstick doesn't mess around. Pair the two together, and you'll make it through any "crying while eating" situation you find yourself in, makeup fully intact. (Is that a thing?)

This is the ultimate raspberry shade to rock every season.

Go-To Shade: Siren in Scarlet

Meet your drugstore "Dior Rouge." You don't have to pick between creamy and matte with this game-changing pick. You get long-lasting bold matte color with a surge of creamy texture. Win-win.

Kosas Weightless Lip Color

Go-To Shade: Rosewater

Not into matte or long-wear? Go with lip-powerhouse Kosas' barely-there sheer rose color. The hydrating formula melts pleasantly into the lips and stays all day—and the semi-translucent color won't appear smudged or bleeding. We suggest pumping up the color (and hydration!) with extra swipes throughout the day.

Glossier Generation G

Go-To Shade: Cake

Just when you think matte lipstick needs to look painstakingly perfect (or risk appearing all sorts of wonky and eskew), this formula comes along with an effortlessly diffused, matte wash of color. All six shades master that just-blotted look, but we favor the subtle peach for a healthy everyday flush.

L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Plump and Shine Lipstick

Go-To Shade: Guava Plump

As we get older, we start losing collagen and elasticity in our face, which leads to fine lines and wrinkles. Combat those signs of aging with a formula that plumps up your lips. The result? A soft, glossy, and visibly plumped pout with a subtle flush of color. Whether you pick something sheer and colorless, or something bright and poppy, it makes a statement.

Go-To Shade: Pillow Talk

If you haven't heard of this iconic lipstick shade, let us introduce you. This product is nothing less than a miracle-worker. You'll find a long-lasting, buildable, and hydrating formula with a soft cashmere finish. Once you swipe on the best-selling rose-nude color, you'll never go back.
