I’ve seen posts like this crop up on a few blogs now
so thought I’d join in and show you what lipstick I’ve been wearing to work
this week! Changing my lipstick and blush is something I try and do consciously
everyday as they are what I have most of in my makeup collection. I don’t tend
to take lipstick with me for touch-ups so I look for something comfortable and
that will last me until tea time then I will just apply whatever lip balm I
have in my handbag throughout the day!
Monday
I went with my ColourPop Lippie Stix in Crunch today as I realised I
hadn’t used it in far too long! I actually got put off this because I wore it
to an interview I had last year and when I got back into my car I realised I
had talked that much it had gathered in the middle of my lips! Not a good look!
Happy to report this didn’t happen today and I’ve fallen back in love with the
sheer but buildable bright coral colour it gives! See the haul this was included in here!
Tuesday
I used my Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani lipstick in Ex-Girlfriend over the
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillowtalk for today. I’ve become a little
obsessed with this lip liner since I got it, I absolutely love the colour! It
comes up as a light dusty mauve on me and is so creamy and easy to fill my lips
in with as it doesn’t drag at all. I went over the top with Ex-Girlfriend as I
love the neutral colour and shine it gives to the lips! This was limited edition
but Urban Decay have brought out Ex-Girlfriend as part of their new Vice
lipstick collection though I’m not sure if it’s exactly the same shade!
Wednesday
Revlon Ultra HD lipstick in Rose was my pick for today! The packaging of this range of lipsticks is a bit
controversial as the bullet is very easily messed up if you hit the side of the
lid putting it back in. I haven’t had any major disasters but I’m always
careful with this one! The range seems to have a lot of very bright colours but
this is the only shade I have and I really like it, it’s creamy, pigmented,
feels moisturising and wears off evenly – exactly what I look for in a
lipstick!

Thursday
I went with the Kevyn Aucoin Flesh Tone lip pencil in Medium today with
NYX Soft Matte Lip in Stockholm over the top. I got the Kevyn Aucoin lip pencil
as a deluxe free gift with a Beauty Bay order a few weeks ago and I love it!
It’s so soft and pigmented despite being more of a traditional pencil and
though the colour isn’t something I would have picked myself, it matches
perfectly with the NYX Soft Matte lip. I am a lip balm addict so don’t wear
matte lipsticks often but I love this formula! It dries quickly and evenly and
feels so comfortable on the lips! I do find the lines on my lips become more
pronounced when I have this on though the product doesn’t settle in them at all!
When I got to work I did put a bit of clear balm over the top to inject a
little moisture! This did make it a bit more susceptible to transfer but it’s a
price I’m willing to pay!
Friday
I used my NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien today which I got in the
Modern Minimalist box I splurged on recently! I love the formula of the satin
lip pencils as they glide on so easily and Rikugien has a bit more sheen to it
that the other shades I have but is a lovely rose colour that’s very ‘my lips
but better’!

I’m heading on holidays for a week on Thursday so might be a little behind
on comments! Do you have any of these lipsticks? Let me know if there are any
others I might like!

Wow do those lipsticks look beautiful! They are literally the types of shades i reach for frequently. I need to pick up the Nyx lip creams, all their nude shades look good.

Deleteim just the same! I wear Nyx with a tiny bit of lip balm otherwise its too drying for me.
ReplyDeletePam xo/ Pam Scalfi♥

DeleteI love this idea.. I also love the idea of mixing it up every day. I'm pretty bad about wearing the same two or three lipsticks most days. And I'm like you, I don't take the lipstick with me for touchups.
ReplyDeleteIt's so much of a hassle isn't it! Xx
DeleteLovely post! I love NARS!
ReplyDeleteDora www.BangsBang.com

Thanks Ela! I generally only take sheer lippies with me! Xx
DeleteGreat post, followed :*

Thanks! Xx
DeleteI'm the same Danielle, I always try and change up my blush and lip colour whenever I wear make-up. As I seem to create an eye look I love and constantly wear that lol. I am yet to try any ColourPop Lippie Stix, but I heard they're shipping to the UK soon. So I'll obviously be trying all of the nude/pink shades haha. You know I feel the same as you about the CT lip pencil. It is perfect under any pinky shade lipstick or gloss. I really enjoyed this post babe, make sure you share more of what products you wear in a week. Also have a lovely holiday, I'm super jealous lol.:) xx

Thank you! I did :) definitely will have to make a ColourPop order in the near future! Xx
DeleteI find I go through stages when I wear lipsticks loads and then forget about it for like three weeks. This is such a good challenge, I may try it next week but I will need to write a reminder!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte xx
Thank you! Xx
DeleteI have NARS Rikugien and ColourPop Crunch and love them both! They're two of my favorite lippies for summer :)
