A Week In Lipsticks

Today I wanted to share with you my past week in lipsticks. Lipstick for me, brings a look together and makes my face look alive. Its also the product which I experiment with the most, my base and eyes normally stay pretty much the same, but I do tend to change my lipstick up quite a lot. It also gives you an idea of the colours I've been wearing on my lips at the moment.


Monday
Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector 05 - On a Monday, I don't really want anything on my lips. I didn't really wear that much makeup on Monday as I was just chilling, catching up on things and then I did a workout in the evening. So I didn't want anything to heavy on my lips, just something that gives them a gorgeous natrual glow. 

Tuesday
Mac Mehr - This is probably my most worn Mac lipstick, I just love the shade, its that 'Kylie' lipstick in my eyes, that browny/pink. Again, Tuesday I didn't have much on apart from I went to get my eyelashes and brows done and I popped into town for some shopping. So I did want a little bit of colour on my lips, but nothing to over powering.

Wednesday
No7 High Shine Lip Crayon in delicate pink - 'On Wednesdays we wear Pink!' I wore this shade a lot last spring, because it really is that perfect spring pink colour. Its very shiny, almost glossy, so it very moisturising, but does need applying every 2 hours I would say. But it really is that spring pink colour.

Thursday
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm - I have been loving this nude shade for a while now, I did quite a lot of eye makeup on this day, so I wanted something quite minimal on my lips. I love the formula of these lip creams, they are not drying at all, but do have quite good staying power.

Friday
Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipsticks in 45 - This is a beautiful pinky/nude shade. Rimmel have amazing lipsticks with really great colour choices. I find they last quite a long time, even though they are not matte at all. This shade just gives a gorgeous sheen to the lips, without being too much. 

Saturday
Mac Liptensity in Doe - I love this lipstick so much! It's a new lipstick range by Mac, its very moisturising on the lips and has amazing colour pay off. Literally one swipe of this lipstick will do you for the day. Doe is a very neutral, browny/peachy lipstick, if that makes sense. Its quite similar to NYX Stockholm. 

Sunday
No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick in Soft Cherry - On Sundays I did actually make quite a lot of effort with my makeup, I went out for a meal and a had a day out with my boyfriend. Soft cherry is a reddy/pink shade. I think its great if you feel very conscious when you wear a red lipstick, it's a lot softer than red, so I think it's a great colour to have in my collection.

Top Premium Lip Products

If you know me, or you have been following/reading me for a while. You will know I am a lipstick/lipgloss/lip balm addict. I just can't stop, I can't have nothing on my lips. I just think it pulls a look together perfectly. So as you can imagine, I have many lip products, and today I am going to share with you my favourite ones from premium brands, the reason I have chosen premium brands, is because I only really have two favourites from the drugstore/lower end, and they are the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 08 and No7 Stay Perfect in the shade Loganberry. So I didn't want to bore you too much, haha. I did write a post about my top 5 lipsticks, when I first started on this blog, so click here to read that.

Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector - shade 05
Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss - 363 nude
Estee Lauder Pure Colour Envy Lipstick - 210 Impulsive
M.A.C - Honey Love (matte)
Lancome Gloss in love - 146





Can I just say, these are all pinky/nude shades. When I was going through my favourite lipsticks, I put them on my bed and looked at them and thought... Oh no, they are all in the same category and I did nearly change some, and put some reds and oranges in there. But then I thought, no because that just isn't staying true to my favourites. So these really are my favourite lip products and the shades of each one. It was so hard picking my favourite M.A.C shade and also the Estee Lauder one, because I love these lipsticks and have quite a few different shades in those ones.

(M.A.C - other shades I love; whirl, ruby woo and patisserie)
(Estee Lauder - other shades  I love; powerful, Tumultuous Pink and Rebellious Rose)
