Hello all! I hope you’re all doing well and are having a lovely week so far.
Today, I wanted to tell you all about my favourite lip products that I’ve been wearing non-stop over the past few months. I do love my lippies, as all my friends know, so I thought I’d collate all my must-haves into a little blog post for you all.
Mac Lipstick in ‘Kinda Sexy’ - £17.50
This Mac lipstick is such a gorgeous, peachy colour that I love to wear when I have more of a fresh faced look going on or if I want something a little bit different to my regular, skin toned nude. Again, it’s a lovely peachy pink that I find really flattering on me and it’s a more of creamier, sheeny finish which is a nice change from my usual mattes but does make it a little less long-wearing.
MUA Matte Lipstick in ‘Fawn Fancy’ - £1
This lipstick is definitely one of my all-time favourites. It’s got such a nice, soft matte finish and the colour is something along the lines of a warm browney nude (if that makes any sense!). The fact that it’s only £1 too pleases me a lot, BUTTTTTT when I went into Superdrug to pick this up again recently, I couldn’t find it and one of the employees said that they’re discontinuing this shade. I’m not sure how I’m going to recover from this loss, to be quite honest, but I’m just planning on making the most of the time that we have left together.
NYX Butter Gloss in ‘Madeline’ - £6
This is another one of my ride of die lippies that I’ve been wearing pretty much every time I wear makeup. It’s a gorgeous warm muted pink colour that is great for everyday and the formula of this gloss is so good. It’s really moisturising and non-sticky, very comparable to the Kylie Jenner’s glosses that I’ve tried, and it gives such a high shine/wet look finish that everyone is obsessed with at the moment, including me. Oh, and it smells like vanilla too!
Revlon Colorstay Ultra HD Matte Lip Colour in 'Forever' - £6.99
This shade is a gorgeous 'your lips but better' colour that I bought to wear as a natural, every day liquid lipstick. It's a really moisturising formula and it applies well, but my only hang up with this liquid lipstick is that it doesn't completely dry down and isn't very long lasting which defeats the purpose of a matte lipstick for me. However, it has an absolutely divine scent, something along the lines of cupcake or sweets, and it is a really gorgeous and natural looking colour on me. Plus, it's on sale from £8.99 at the moment on the Superdrug website!
Make Up Forever Aqua Lip Liner in 5C - £14
This liner is a little more pricey and was definitely an impulse purchase that I questioned myself about later, but, it’s a lovely long-wearing darker brown colour that I wear really frequently. It lasts really well and the shade is great for when I want something a little bit darker and bolder. I really like pairing it with the NYX gloss, too; I line my lips then blend the liner out then apply the gloss on top. It gives me cool 90s vibes and I was definitely inspired by Alice T on who wears a similar look a lot on her Instagram.
MUA Lip Liner in ‘Red Drama’ - £1
Another MUA lippie that I cannot get enough of is this true red liner. I bought it as the one I was already wearing that day was way too pink and smudgy so this liner was a great alternative. Liners are a great option for longer lasting colour and a truly matte finish that doesn’t budge. This one is my go-to red at the moment as it’s really vibrant and classic looking, it lasts so so well and I feel really confident any time I wear it. And again, £1?!
Finally, I thought I'd mention my favourite lip balm too which is this vanilla and macadamia lip butter from Nivea. It’s super thick and moisturising, and I wear it day and night to help keep my lips super soft. Before I start my makeup, I gently exfoliate my lips with a towel or washcloth then apply this lip butter on top so my lips are smooth and ready for whatever colour I’m wearing that day. It’s a great product and it smells divine too!
I hope you liked this post, please let me know what else you’d like to see from me and I hope you all have a great day!
