If you didn't know, I love lipsticks. They're one of my favorite things to wear and I have way too many. I'm to reorganize my collection to possibly sell some things and wanted to see which ones I truly love / use a lot. The more nude shades are relatively newer, but they've already became such staples in my routine.
I also wanted to show off my fannncy new makeup bag I got from Charlotte Tilbury. I love it so much and lip prints are also my favorite!
I don't understand what happened to the above picture. The background was white before I uploaded. The swatches are still fairly accurate though and correspond to the placement of the lipsticks (top to bottom).
Life's Entropy Lip Theory Satin in Milky Way (review here) - I've raved on and on about this lipstick already and so I'm just going to leave the review. It's also discontinued and so I don't really want to go more into it since you can't get it anymore.
Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color in Touch of Spice (review here) - This lip color was my first step into accepting the browny pinky nude colors and also realizing Maybelline lip sticks had a good formula. I had a bad experience with another shade in their Color Sensational line, but was so impressed with the Creamy Mattes lip. Touch of Spice is so comfortable to wear and is the perfect MLBB color on so many skin tones.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita - Lolita has been reformulated a few times and I got the February 2015 version of it. It's one of the more popular colors from her liquid lipstick line and is described as a dusty rose. There is a bit more brown in it than I thought, but I do really like. I don't know if this is the final or even original version of this lip color, but it is gorgeous and I'm glad I got it regardless of what version of it is.
Givenchy Le Rouge Lipstick in Brun Créateur - I got this as a 100 point perk from Sephora. It's a pinky nude and it's also described as a "dusty rose" like Lolita. It's definitely more pink than my version of Lolita and it's very work / more formal appropriate. The full sized version of it is super pricey and so I'm glad I got the deluxe sized version as a "free" perk.
Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Gash - As far as I know, this lipstick has been discontinued again. It was exclusive to the Urban Decay website/flagship and to the holiday lipstick set (review here). Gash is a slightly shimmery dark red with some purple tones in it.
Dior Dior Addict Lipstick in Diablotine (review here) - Sephora describes this color as a "sheer muted poppy red" and that is very accurate. I actually bought this because it was incorrectly priced at a lower amount on the website and snatched it up... :D I love the color, but it really works with your own lip color because it is sheer. It adds a pinky red sheen to my lips that brightens up my whole face.
MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in See Sheer & Viva Glam I - I have talked so much about these two colors and also in a pretty recent post. See Sheer is described as a "grapefruit pink" but it can also lean more red on me sometimes. Viva Glam I is a "intense brownish blue-red" and that describe is spot on. Both of these shades are my go - to shades when I don't know what lipstick color to wear.
What are your most used lipsticks / lip color products?
Your pictures look amazing as always!! Do you have some photography tips? :)
ReplyDeleteBtw the colors are great! :)

Mac See Shear looks so pretty! Personally my most used lipstick is Kat Von D's Studded Kiss in Motorhead ( i think thats the name)! I wear it all the time and its such a pretty dark red
ReplyDeleteI love them all so much! Givenchy Le Rouge Lipsticks are such a nice formula, but I don't know if I'll buy a full size any time soon. I feel like once I buy one full sized lipstick, I'll want to keep collecting them all.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel like my photos are not as great as others and so that means a lot! For me, I always try to use natural lighting and if I take pictures at night, my OttLite works really well because it's a white light instead of yellow. If you go to citronandguavaberry.blogspot.ca , she's having a photography series thing going on right now that'll help more than I can (:
ReplyDeleteSee Sheer is definitely my favorite lipstick out of the bunch. I can make it pink or red depending on how much I layer / work with it.
ReplyDeleteI love dark reds! I haven't tried out her Studded Kiss range yet, but I'll definitely check out that color the next time I'm in a Sephora.
See Sheer looks gorgeous x
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of the new Lolita, it's far too dark compare to the old one, I wish they aren't too dark cause I have seen so many swatches of the old formula and the color is just beautiful!
So many pretty lippies! I'm a gloss girl so I don't really own many lipsticks. From what I've tried, I like the Revlon Superlustrous line and of course, 3CE! Have a great weekend hao
ReplyDeleteBoo for discontinued shades! I wish brands would do a customer poll before discontinuing something - they always seem to pick the best ones to discontinue!
ReplyDeleteI loveee See Sheer so much!
ReplyDeleteAt this point, I don't even know which version of it I got but I heard Kat Von D is going to release the "newer" version along with the old version. I'm excited though because the old version is very very pretty.
I feel like glosses are too messy for me because my hair is always all up in my face. They always look great on other people though!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend too, Kim! (:
Right?! I know Gash by Urban Decay is incredibly popular, but they also do weird and unpredictable limited edition / permanent promotions. They keep bringing back and taking away really popular shades :(
ReplyDeleteahahaha, that's a problem :P
ReplyDeleteTouch of spice was my favorite color!
ReplyDeletexx
Okay thanks a lot for all the tips! :) They are so helpful!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt was probably my favorite drugstore find last year (:
ReplyDeleteI love your new design! (Or maybe it isn't new, sorry I haven't been up to date HAHA) Gurl, your swatches are BEAUTIFUL. I remember See Sheer being on my MAC wishlist way back, and now you've just rekindled the fire haha. I'm sorry but the name 'Gash' just makes me cringe and shiver. Such a weird word haha.

Wow! I might just have to pick up that Givenchy color...when I next have money to burn lol... I'm loving the Etude House Dear My Wish Lips Talk in RD302 and BE101 (crazy pigmented and moisturizing!), YSL Nude in Private, and the YSL signature red as always ^.^
ReplyDeleteIt's new and thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteYou should totally get See Sheer!! I know Lustres aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I love that the finish makes it even more wearable. Gash also makes me uncomfortable because it makes me think of wounds D:
Givenchy Le Rouge Lipsticks are sooo amazing, but it's definitely a luxury-i'm-going-to-spoil-myself item. YSL are also the same to me, but i can't help but loooove their packaging.
ReplyDeleteI just bought an Etude House lip product! It's from their newest release and I'm beyond excited to get it :D
Ooh which one?? I picked up a couple more formulas from them....or rather my dad did since he went to Korea for work LMAO
ReplyDeleteLipstick print bag to store lipsticks. Brilliant. I was like, "Brun Créateur IS SO PRETTY I'M GON' NEED THAT"....before I realised, I /DO/ ACTUALLY HAVE THAT. I also got it from Sephora as a point perk too, and honestly, I've forgotten that I even owned it until now.......BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE I PUT IT.
ReplyDeleteGash is gorgeous. IDK, for some reason I really like UD's selection of deep/vampy shades.
Ah, you've got some seriously gorgeous lippies there! My lipstick collection is the second smallest of my make up items as although I do enjoy wearing lip products I don't do so very often! Love that bag and I'm actually dying to buy an eyeshadow quad if not a lipstick from CT! So luxurious but yet her products seem sooo worth the price! My favorite shades from your bunch are Diablotine and Touch of Spice! Currently my most used and loved lip colors are from Pink Truffle lip butter form Revlon, Maybelline color sensational lipsticks and NYX butter glosses!
ReplyDeleteTHAT HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIMEE. Maybe not the exact lipstick, but I would look at my lipstick collection and realize I had 6 other lipsticks in the exact same shade but forgot because I lost them for a while.....
ReplyDeleteUrban Decay has such a nice lipstick formula. I want to get more, but I need to calm down.
My lipstick collection might be my second largest after eyeshadows x) I don't wear them as often as I should, but I'm always eating and don't want them to smear all over my face hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI really want to get some actual makeup products from CT's line, but I want to wait till I can see them in person first. I know they'll be good regardless though and might just impulse buy something.... hahahah
