Lipstick Addiction

Thursday, 2 April 2015

I recently decided to have a clear out of my make-up and try and organise it a bit better, I don’t know if anyone else is like me but I swear I lose stuff all the time! I’ll remember buying something but haveno idea what I’ve done with it!! So a tidy-up was well needed! I realised over time I have accumulatedALOT of lipsticks. They are definatley my beauty guilty pleasure! I wear lipstick every day so I like to have a good selection! I picked out my favourite from my collection and here they are:
Pink Lipsticks

YSL Rouge Volupte

Peach Passion
You’ll see I have two of these in different colours! These retail at around £26 but I was lucky enough to pick it up for £7! There is a shop called Luxury Beauty Store near me in a designer outlet that sells overstock or discontinued products really cheap. I really like this lipstick, mainly because I’m a big YSL fan, but also because the colour is beaautiful! It’s really light and you really don’t feel like your wearing any lipstick at all. It has a really nice smooth, creamy finish and I LOVE the gold case!

Seventeen Lasting Fix Lipstick

Poncho Pink
I’ve actually just found out this has been discontinued which is a real shame! I love this colour so much, it’s my favourite lipstick for when I’m feeling adventurous! I usually stick to paler pinks but I love this one for when I want something brighter. It’s just the right brightness where I can get away with wearing it to work. In terms of lasting, for a cheap brand it stays on really well but it’s not great for when your drinking lots of tea in the office!

Loreal Rouge Caresse

Rose Mademoiselle
I took a punt of this one! I’m not usually into glossy lipsticks but I thought why not? I’ll give it a go! This literally just glides on your lips and gives a nice subtle colour. My favourite thing about this lipstick is it makes my lips feel so soft and silky. This only costs £7.99 and is definatley giving the premium brands some competition!

NO 7 Sheer Temptation Lipstick

Pretty Please
You know when you go to Boots and they ALWAYS give you those NO 7 vouchers!? Well I decided for once I was actually going to use it! I was actually buying foundation and mascara and they had an 3 for 2 offer on so I thought I’d get a lipstick. I won’t lie, this was a panic buy. I was on my lunch break and hurrying to get back but I was technically getting something for free so I just quickly grabbed this and guess what? It’s another glossy lipstick!! I was pleasantly surprise by this lipstick, in comparison to other glossy lipsticks this is something different. It has that sticky feel of a gloss, but not so glossy that when it’s windy your hair sticks to it! It gives a really good colour without being too heavy.

Lancome L’absolu Rouge

Rose Nu
This is an ‘advanced moisturising’ lipstick and I LOVE it!! I’m pretty obsessed with Lancome, it’s hands down my favourite brand. The majority of my make-up, skincare and perfumes are from Lancome. I bought this as my staple everyday lipstick. It’s a kind of pinky/brown and is always in my handbag. It really does live up to it’s claim and leaves lips feel really moisturised and it lasts most of the day with very few top ups required!

YSL Rouge Volupte Perle

Celestial Mauve
For writing this I was looking it up to find out the name of the colour and turns out although it looks exactly the same as the other YSL lipstick I have, apparently it’s different! I think it’s pretty much exactly the same but this one is meant to contain ‘soothing ingredients combined with pearls’…whatever that means. This is a slightly paler colour than I would usually go for but like I mentioned before I love this lipstick for it’s creamy smooth texture.
