It’s been ages since I did one of these so I thought I’d try to get
back into it starting now! Lipstick is one of my favourite makeup items and I
love changing what I’ve got on each day although some of my lipsticks are more
similar to each other than I sometimes think they are!
Monday
I went with Urban Decay Vice Comfort Matte lipstick in Backtalk today and this has to be one of the most
comfortable matte formulations I’ve tried and I suppose the clue is in the
name! It’s a beautiful mauve shade that isn’t drying at all and wears off
evenly, I love it!
Tuesday
I wasn’t working today so went with something a little more daring than
my usual nude pinks with this Too Faced Melted lipstick in Fig! I absolutely love the shade; it’s so rich and vibrant!
This isn’t a lipstick I would wear to work though because I find myself
checking my lips/teeth in the mirror quite a lot with this as it doesn’t
completely dry down and has a tendency to move about a little! I got my mini in
a set last Christmas and I don’t wear it nearly enough! It’s worth the extra
effort though as it feels good on my lips and wears off slowly leaving a
gorgeous stain behind.

Wednesday
I picked up this NARS Audacious lipstick in Anita last year and it’s another one I don’t reach for enough. I
was a bit unsure of the colour when I first saw it in the flesh after buying as
it seems to lean a little warm on me but I’ve grown to really like it (especially
when I’ve got tan on). Again, it’s a comfortable creamy formula that lasts a
good few hours on my lips before it starts to feel a little drier – but a bit
of clear balm extends it a while longer!
Thursday
After falling in love with the K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula of Bitch Perfect,
I picked up Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips in Liv it Up. Like NARS Anita, the
colour wasn’t quite what I was expecting – it’s very pink! This might be something
to do with my lips though and not the actual colour of the lipsticks! Anyway,
once I got over the pinkness, this is a beautiful lipstick and the
K.I.S.S.I.N.G formula is probably my favourite lipstick formula ever! It’s so long-lasting
and hydrating and I love it!
Friday
Just before Christmas, MAC had 20% off so while I was getting my mum a
foundation I treated myself to my second MAC lipstick in Brave, a satin formula. Again, and I didn’t mean this post to
be about initial disappointment in lipstick but I was shocked at how pink this
turns up on my lips! It settles down after a while though and a little more
mauve shows through which I prefer but overall although it’s comfortable, it’s
not the longest lasting and overall I don’t get the hype for MAC lipsticks! This
also looks quite similar in the swatch to Liv it Up but I find Liv it Up shinier and brighter overall!

So that’s
another working week in lipstick! Let me know if you have tried any of these
shades or what you’d recommend for a mauve lipstick lover like me!

Thank you Kiran! Xx
DeleteFig is a beautiful colour, I wish it dried down, I know I'd make a big mess with it. I like brave, but when I got it, I didn't notice how pink it is, it must be the store light :) I think I'll make a lot use of it in spring&summer.
ReplyDeleteEla BellaWorld
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it was more pink than at first glance! Xx
DeleteI have Anita hiding away somewhere, must also dig it out! xx
ReplyDeleteYes do! Too pretty to be hiding! Xx
DeleteJust when I think I don't need any more lipsticks, I see this post!! Lovely colors.

DeleteFig looks like my kind of colour! Unfortunately I find Too Faced Melted formula gives me that gross white ring in the middle of my lips. :-(
ReplyDeleteShireen | Reflection of Sanity
Ah no I hate that too but I don't get it from these, Nuxe Reve de Miel is the worst offender for me! Xx
DeleteI understand wearing lipsticks that although are by different brand, they are so similar! Love a good creamy formula like the NARs one!
ReplyDeleteCharlotte / Charlotte's Picks
Easily done when you're a fan of pinky nudes! Xx
DeleteI love the idea of this post. To be honest I'm boring and wear the same lipstick most days to work haha! Mac Brave looks like a lovely shade x
ReplyDeleteLAURA | Laura Thinks About
There are definitely some in my collection I could reach for everyday too! Xx
DeleteAnita is so gorgeous. I regret not getting it before liquid lipsticks took off. So nice to see you using classic lipsticks. I am trying to get more use out of them too xxx
ReplyDeleteSal | UmmBabyBeauty
I definitely use them more than anything else as my lips can be so temperamental with liquid lipstick formulas! Xx
DeleteThese shades are so wearable.
ReplyDeleteGreat picks.
