Molten Metals: 5 Metallic Liquid Lip Brands Under $20

Here's how to get the molten metal lip trend with beauty finds under $20.
This summer has been all about the metallic lip, and with more brands incorporating the finish into their formulas - as well as adding deeper shades for fall (hello vampy maroon and plum shades!) - this beauty trend is looking to extend its time in the spotlight. I first took note of the metallic lip when Kylie Cosmetics put out a few shades back in early April and soon discovered other lines were doing the same. The shimmery finish was gorgeous...I loved the modern look and it was another way to fuel my rose gold obsession. But before diving head first into the metallic fad, I wanted to test the waters. I needed a product that had an amazing formula and a flattering shade that wouldn't break the bank. Look no further than the following products. These collections have a shade for everyone, whether your look is demure or bold, and each lip product costs less than $20! Read on to shop my finds and see which liquid lip I can't live without...

Pixi by Petra Multibalm Review + Giveaway!

Win a set of 5 multibalms from Pixi by Petra on TheBudgetBabe.com!
I feel like it's been ages since I've hosted a giveaway on the blog, so when Pixi by Petra sent me a set of their new Multibalms, I knew I wanted to give you ladies a chance to try them for yourself! I've gushed about these over on my Snapchat...the Baby Petal is my favorite - a super subtle natural-looking pink - because they're basically foolproof, yet make a noticeable difference by highlighting lips and cheeks with a hint of color. Here's what Pixi has to say about their new Multibalms, available for $12 each at Target and pixibeauty.com:

"This multiuse, crème-powder formula awakens by adding a touch of colour to the face. Infused with aloe vera, shea butter, and rose hip oil to protect. Paraben free. Not tested on animals."

Here's what I'm giving away to one lucky reader (a $60 value!):
1 Wild Rose
1 Baby Petal
1 Soft Strawberry
1 Watermelon Veil
1 Sheer Sculpt
