Hello all of you lovely people, Todays post is all about my
top three favourite lipsticks. Now as everyone knows ranking ones favourite
lipsticks can be an impossible task although for me there are three certain
ones that jump out at me.
Surprisingly enough my favourite three come from all areas
of the financial scale, the first being a MAC lipstick called Angel which cost
£15 (even though it did not cost that when I brought it!).
Now I do know that
this lipstick either looks lovely on or makes you look sickly, this lipstick is
definitely a winter shade for me as I have recently discovered this summer that
while I have a tan it is not a flattering colour.
This lipstick is meant to be a frost finish which according
to MAC means that it has ‘an excellent colour payoff with medium to high
frosted shimmer-and-shine finish’. Although this is the category which MAC has
placed Angel, it does not have a dramatic frost finish I would say that it has a
slight pearly finish instead of being frosty.
What I love about it is that it is a lovely baby pink shade
which can be worn everyday adding to a natural look, I find that it just
finishes off my makeup nicely.
The next lipstick on my list is the Rimmel lasting finish by
Kate Moss in shade 01, now when I brought this lipstick is was more of a spur
of the moment decision as this deep red shade was definitely out of my comfort
zone!
I find reds quite hard to wear as I have to make sure that
they contain blue undertones, as red/orange undertones just look weird on me.
When I saw this I decided to try it out as let’s face it £5.49 will not break
the bank if I decide that I don’t like it.
I would say that this lipstick is more of a cherry red
colour with a sheen finish to it, the formula is quite pigmented and leaves a
slight stain on the lips. It also has a sweet scent to it initially which then
disperses once you apply it.
I really love this lipstick as it is a gorgeous shade which
is good for people that might have a hard time finding reds to suite them, I would
recommend this as a good starter red.
My final favourite is a real bargain and if you haven’t tried
one of these then I strongly suggest that you do as it only cost £1, and you can’t
go wrong with a pound.
It is the MUA (Makeup Academy) lipstick in shade 3 which
has a lovely creamy texture to it and glides across the lips effortlessly.
It results in a semi- matte finish and is highly pigmented leaving
a slight stain to the lips. One down side to this lipstick is that it does
cling to dry patches so I advise that you should exfoliate them top avoid this and
moisturize before applying this lipstick as the formula is slightly drying.
This lipstick has great staying power and I find that it
once applied , it lasts through lots of eating and drinking which is great is
you plan on going out with it on your lips J
I hope that you liked seeing my top three lipsticks. What I want
to know is what are yours? Are any of yours similar to mine?
