So I've got a $20 gift card to Sephora and I'm not quite sure what to get with it (though with most of these I'll need to spend something extra, but that's ok). I'm torn between the following:

Top: Dior Pink Lip Glow, Bite Duel Lipstick in Palomino and Violet

Middle: Kat Von D liquid lipstick in bauhau5 or KVD LL in Lolita

Bottom: Hourglass Lighting Palette or Urban Decay Flushed Palette (thinking of stripped for the color)

There's nothing I really need so that's what's making this harder.

Personally I would get the Hourglass palette or one of the kvd lipsticks

Personally I'd go with the Bite lipstick, I think the dual aspect of it makes it easier to get your own custom color with it, which is cool, not to mention how absolutely stunning the Bite lipstick formula is, it's creamy and applies evenly, and it's completely moisturizing. The KVD liquid lipsticks are good, but a little drying, and the Dior LipGlow is overpriced; you can get the Tarte Lipsurgence in Energy, it will do the same thing, and I know there's another one that I have that's also cheaper, but the brand escapes me currently. I'm not much into face products, but if you are maybe the Hourglass palette would work for you? I'm just not inclined towards it. I also don't like the Naked Flush palettes; I think they have too much bronzer in relation to blush and highlighter. But of course, all of this is just me.

@Hannah - I already have LUV from the KVD line and I love (not to be corny) it, I didn't find it to drying on my lips. But that is a good tip about the lip glow, so I'm going to try that out. I want to try to highlight this summer so I think the lighting palette may be good, but I dunno. D: And you've got a good point about the flushed palette...

@Veronica - Do you have a picture wearing It I can see?

Well, the thing to remember about the Hourglass powders is that they're not illuminators, they're finishing powders. They don't do the same thing as a highlighter, so if that's your intended use, I wouldn't waste your money on it. I have 2 KVD liquid lipsicks, and I do like them, but I definitely need a moisturizer, so I guess everyone's different :)

I'd definitely go for the bite duo.
I've been dying to try them lol and almost ordered it last night but instead went with an eyelash curler and a few sale times.. Kinda regretting it lol.
I also want to try the KVD ones, but if you have one already maybe try something new?

So I usually pair it with a lipgloss because it's really light.. But their is nothing under or over my lips.. Also window lighting.

The color is a tad darker but otherwise I use a ysl lipgloss. To make it look more nudes pink on my skin.
