Lipsticks of the moment






By lipsticks of the moment, I mean the newest additions to my growing collection (never though i'd be saying that last year) but yes, I am a self confessed lipstick junkie. Who doesn't love the look of a good lipstick? It can instantly perk up your look, and take you from day to night in one well applied application.





Take the Kate Moss lipstick in 110, a very pigmented coral red, that smells so good, i just can't stop swatching it on my hand and giving it a right good sniff, the smell in itself is an addiction, let alone the colour. It goes on smoothly although I recommend using a lip liner in a similar colour (I've yet to find an exact colour match, any recommendations?) after paling the lips with foundation/concealer. I've got very pigmented lips, you see, so it doesn't look as good as it does on others, without paling the lips.


Bourjois Rouge Edition in 17 Rose Millesime, is one of the first, if not the first lipstick I purchased from Bourjois, and my goodness, don't I just love it?! It's pigmented, creamy and such a bright dusky rose colour, if that makes sense? It doesn't dry out the lips, and I find that it lasts for quite a while, three hours or so, but another application will always make it pop after a while of wear and tear.


Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon. GORGEOUS. SO GORGEOUS I CANNOT COMPREHEND. Seriously. I bought it, and I wondered how I ever lived without it. It's sheer, but buildable, really pigmented but soft, and I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH. It is my go to product for a red lip, and if you follow me on Instagram, you will all know that my red lip inspiration is Rougepout, because she wears a red lipstick almost everyday, and rocks it so well, that just looking at her gives me the confidence to wear red lipstick. Gotta love her (:


Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial. Now, I do not like lipglosses. At all. They're too sticky, they get in your hair, especially if it's windy, and they remind me far too much of my youth. So, this is why I avoided the Apocalips like the plague when they first came out, but after much deliberation (see instagram once again) I decided to try one, and I really like it. Believe me, I was just as surprised. It's so pigmented, I was actually a bit put off, because all you need is one swipe, but after some practice, it may not be love like with the lip butter, but it's certainly adoration. What are your favourite lip products right now?
