Now this may come as a shock to most, but I don't have a lot in common with Bravo Housewives. I know, take it in, internalize, process it.

So when Salt Lake City Housewife Lisa Barlow had other Housewives up and arms for reapplying her lip combo for the umpteenth time I couldn't help but think, "That's real."

And it was a wake up call that we're not taking our lip combos seriously enough. As much as simple gloss get's the job done the beauty of makeup is variety and we have endless choices. So here's some lip kits that I've tried that I think are perfect for a night out.

1. fwee: Oat Latte Lip Kit

Is it Holiday season? Yes. And though my Christmas tree is already up and I've been listening to Ariana Grande's Santa Tell Me since November started, I don't have to subscribe to winter fashion until I see snow. This lip kit is perfect for an everyday combination, reminding me of fall . Think warm, effortless brown tones: It's giving coffee dates, oversized sweaters and romanticizing your walk to class.

2. Rare Beauty By Selena Gomez: Mauve Faves Lip Duo Makeup Gift Set

I've recently tapped into Rare Beauty (I know, I'm so late), but it should be stated that this lip combo deserves to see a girls' night out at least once a week. A berry lip is fun for a night out, especially when you want something a little more dramatic without committing to a bold red.

3. Charlotte Tilbury: Mini Pillow Talk Plumpgasm Lip Liner and Lip Gloss Set

Awww! I see the packaging with the hearts and the pouty lips and I can't help but say "How CUTE!" I have a very close personal relationship with the Big Lip Plumpgasm gloss. It's a symbiotic relationship in the sense that she give me the cutest pout ever and I give it my life savings.

A fair trade if you're asking me.

4. HUDA BEAUTY: Kiss Me Lip Contour Stain and Lip Jelly Gift Set

I feel very unserious for not hopping onto lip stains sooner. I've never been much of a lip stain girlie but I know that everyone else is and I yearn to be included. So I caved and got the HUDA BEAUTY lip kit and I'd like to proudly announce that I get it. The combination of a lip stain and lip jelly gives you the best of both worlds: colour that sticks around and a glossy finish to pull everything together. It's perfect for those days when you want your lip combo to survive more than one iced coffee.

5. MAKE UP FOR EVER: Mini Artist Color Pencil Lip Liner & Full Size Super Boost Lip Gloss Kit

I'm a big fan of anything that shimmers and it's not different with lip gloss. Not a brand I was familiar with until recently but a friend of mine recently let me borrow it on a night out and I was highly impressed with the lip pencil. It's an easy way to create a more polished lip without having to overthink your entire makeup routine.

6. The Fenty Beauty By Rhianna: Brown'd Pout Lip Liner + Mini Lip Plumper Duo

"Three brown lip liners in a row? Is she trying to tell us something-" YES, BRING IT BACK! A brown lip is bold a brown lip is sexy a brown lip to me means business. And as much as I love a simple gloss look, a statement red lip, a cutesy pink.Rihanna knows a thing or two about making a statement, and her beauty brand is no exception. This duo is perfect for creating that defined, fuller-looking pout with a little extra shine. Honestly, if there's one thing I'm taking into the new year, it's my commitment to brown lip combos.

CRAZY.
