The Lip Bar Celebrates Partnership With Target

This past Thursday I celebrated with The Lip Bar on their partnership with Target.com. Just one year after being rejected by ‘Shark Tank’ The Lip Bar is holding its own while continuously building a successful brand.

The Lip Bar exists to empower women and to challenge the standard of beauty. Offering a unique blend of natural ingredients designed to moisturize, soften, and amplify lips with intoxicating eye catching colors that’s perfect for all complexions.

Tee Lip Bar’s signature cocktails and liquid mattes lipsticks


During the event, I purchased a liquid matte lipstick in “Drama Queen” which is a plum-colored lipstick. I tried on a few different lipsticks, but this one is my favorite.

If you head over to target.com, The Lip bar has some exclusive colors which can only be purchased online. I’ve been stalking target’s website in hopes of getting my hands on “Bawse Lady”.

Seeing how far these two ladies have come since appearing on Shark Tank, is very inspiring.  Some would’ve given up, or doubted themselves.  But these proved how believing in yourself and your business is important to it’s success.

    I like the thought of natural ingredients being used to make the lipstick. I like the shades you’re wearing. Even though l’m not big on lipstick, l would try that.

    I saw their episode! I remember being annoyed at the investors reactions. I love that they are partnered with Target now.

    Ahh! I love it. I’ve been hearing about this line and now that some of my other [black owned] lippies are starting to run out, I have an excuse to get more fall colors. Definitely going to check this out.

    Thanks for posting the link for when The Lip Bar appeared on Shark Tank. I couldn’t believe how rude some of the investors were. I am proud of these ladies and I purchased my first Lip Bar lipstick at IMATS in Toronto CA, I wear it everyday. I will also use the red I purchased from them on my clients.

      TheSharks were very rude, but I’m glad they didn’t let that stop them.

Unpopular fashion opinion: Looking expensive has nothing to do with how much you spent.

Some of the best outfits I’ve ever worn weren’t the most expensive…they just fit well, felt good, and were styled with intention.

A designer label won’t fix bad styling, but confidence can elevate almost anything.

Agree or disagree? 

What’s your unpopular fashion opinion?

Original price: $170

My price: $59.97

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that’s not spending money… that’s being financially responsible. 

Girl math or smart shopping? Be honest. 😂

What up doe? Fashion besties, can we talk about how hard it is to meet new people as an adult?

Between work, responsibilities, and everything else life throws our way, making new friends isn’t always easy. That’s why I love events like this. There’s something so refreshing about stepping outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, and making real life connections.

I came for the content, the donuts, and the good vibes…but I left with some great conversations and new connections.

Noowwwww…let’s talk about the food!! The donuts were good, and I especially loved the Strawberry Shortcake Layered Custard. But the real star of my evening? The Crispy Ramen Original Rice Hotdog lightly sprinkled with sugar. I’m officially hooked and already planning my next visit.

A big thank you to @DetroitFinds313 and @mochinut_berkely for hosting such a fun and welcoming event. 

Now tell me, fashion besties, do you find it easy or hard to make new friends as an adult?

Anybody else love a three-piece set because it takes all the thinking out of getting dressed? Just add shoes and go. That’s my type of getting ready. 

 @Fabletics always has the cutest workout sets 💙💙💙

Someone told my 5’1 self I’m not petite because I’m not skinny.

Respectfully, petite means short, not skinny. If I’m not petite, then why has every pair of pants I’ve ever owned been too long unless I specifically buy short or petite sizes? 

Petite girls, back me up in the comments

Petite is a height category, not a body type. My 5’1” self didn’t stop being petite just because I’m not a size 2.

Fashion besties, can we normalize getting overdressed? 

I didn’t buy these clothes just to save them for a special occasion. Life is the occasion.

If I want to wear the cute dress, the statement coat, or the heels just to grab coffee, I’m doing it. The older I get, the more I realize style is meant to be enjoyed, not saved.

Tell me I’m not the only one. What’s the most “extra” place you’ve worn a cute outfit?

POV: I’ve always been too anxious to go sit in a restaurant by myself, but I decided to add it to my bucket list and finally do it.
So today, I took myself out on a solo date, ordered what I wanted, enjoyed my meal, and honestly? I wish I would’ve done this sooner.
The whole time I was thinking, “Why was I so scared of this?”
Be honest, fashion besties... have you ever taken yourself out to eat alone, or is it still on your bucket list? #fashionstyledetroit

The girls who get it, get it… leopard is a neutral!

Fashion besties, I’m so serious when I say leopard goes with EVERYTHING. At this point, I throw it on the same way other people throw on black or denim.

Like the outfit can be cute… then you add leopard and suddenly it makes sense. It’s like putting on the finishing touches. 

A leopard shoe, bag, jacket, SOMETHING. It just works every time.

Please tell me I’m not the only one that treats leopard like a neutral?

May was a mix of getting dressed, figuring life out, creating content, romanticizing small moments, and reminding myself that growth doesn’t always look loud. 

A little fashion, a little chaos, a lot of memories.
