so, you’ve had a rough week at work and the weekend is calling your name LOUDLY. Before you meet your fabulous group of friends and head out to the hottest (hopefully the best for eye candy!) after work spot, make sure your makeup is flawless, hair is coiffed to perfection and you’ve had at least one liptini.

liptini mini bars give you the perfect tools to create your own lipcocktail. you start with one of twelve straight up colors, add a mixer, and a topper and voila! your lips are looking rather kissable. Which could be a good thing if paying for your cocktail wasn’t part of your plan anyway.

so before you steal the scene and hearts at the hot spot indulge your lips with a liptini; they’ve had a rough week too!

*check out the currantini, which uses straight up color port, mixer cherry cola and topper vodka (it’s so sexy and soooooo right now).

 

liptini lip cocktails are available at ULTA across the d.c. metro and baltimore area. for more information visit www.liptini.com
