Today's post is going to be on my go to current lipsticks, and lipsticks that i generally tend to reach for on a daily basis. They are in no particular order but some i may gravitate towards just a little more. lets go!
First up is the MUA lipstick in shade 11. This is a pinky, browny nude and in my opinion is so stunning and flattering on any skin tone. It's very smooth and silky on the lips and being someone who has lips as dry as the Sahara dessert at times, this really isn't drying in the slightest. One downfall however is that it isn't very long lasting and does require quite a few touch ups throughout the day.
Next up is Blush Pink by the brand soap and glory, who are famously known for their body care products. However apart from that, they do have some pretty damn good makeup products and this lipstick being one of them.
For starters it smells pretty amazing, and as for the formula its has a very creamy, buttery texture that sits oh so comfortably on the lips while also being quite moisturizing, It also leaves a satiny/semi-matte finish on the lips, which i am all for. It's a little more lilac than it is showing in the swatch below, however it's not obnoxiously lilac to the point where it wouldn't be daytime appropriate, rather it has quite a subtly hint of lilac, which i am a fan for the colder months.
Here we have MAC infamous syrup lipstick. The one everyone and their cats rave about, and they're definitely not wrong to as it is everything i would have imagined it to be. Now i'm not going to lie, i wasn't the biggest fan of this when i first go my hands on it, simply because it was my first time trying something a little daring, but the more i wore it and as the colder months drew in, it grew on me and now i carry it with me everywhere!
As i am sure a lot of us know MAC lipsticks smell incredible, this one included. This again sits very nicely on the lips, and AGAIN has a satiny silky texture! As you can tell this is a very common theme amongst my lipstick choices, and i guess the main reason is because, as i mentioned before, my lips can get awfully dry, and now as its winter they need a lot more moisture. And in regards to the lipstick, if you are wanting to step out of your comfort zone a little this would be a great starting point.
Sleeks Dare, the most matte lipstick i have come to own, which is pretty drying. Now i know i previously mentioned that i have very dry lips, but i don't actually wear this full whack! rather i apply a good slather of lip balm (Blistex Relief cream which is the best thing ever for dry lips. Check it out!) and then gently dab this across my lips and blend it in, so that i'm left with a stain and it just adds a little hint of color without going too crazy.
