Lip Product Addict Tag

Hello all! I think everyone who is interested in makeup, loves lip products. I’m a huge concealer junkie-I tell everyone that, yet I never really mention that I love lip products. I guess I kind of assume that it’s a given. I wouldn’t say I’m an addict, none of my lipsticks look alike (in my opinion) so I don’t think I have too many either. Nonetheless, and long intro over, I’m doing the Lip Product Addict Tag today.

I love these videos/posts because you can tell when something will suit you or not, if someone with the same sort of coloured skin/face shape as you wears it well. It also gives me an insight into the formulas of the products. Anyway, let’s get onto the questions!

1.       Favourite balm/treatment?

I used to use balms/chapsticks religiously. Then I saw something that said balms aren’t good for your lips as what it does, is attempts to trick your lips into thinking they’re waterproof. I’m not 100% sure how accurate this is, but I picked my two favourites. Lucas’ Pawpaw Ointment is a cult classic to everyone-my dad even uses it. I don’t care that much about the taste, but it’s just genuinely a nice ointment to soften and make you lips moist. My next favourite is Chapstick in Cake Batter. This moisturizers my lips well and tastes amazing!

2.       Best Eye-catching red?

This was quite a hard one for me as I love red lips as much as the next girl! Sometimes, when I don’t feel like wearing makeup, I’ll just put on some red lips and I’ll know people will be distracted to not notice anything else. I’m basically a magician. My favourite red lip is Rimmel Kate Moss in #107. This is a matte shade and is a deeper red. I adore it, and probably always will.

3.      Best luxury & best drugstore?

I would be lying if I said I had a lot of money to buy luxury makeup. I’m sure I will buy some sometime soon and I’ll justify it in some hideous way, but for now I’ll stick to drugstore. As my “luxury” I’m counting Limecrime. I have two limecrime lipsticks and I love them! Centrifuscia is a gorgeous bright pink, and Beautiful Rocket is a bright orange. The formulation is amazing and the colours come across so pigmented. For drugstore, I am a huge fan of the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks (in the red tubes, may I just add). The staying power is incredible, especially for a drugstore range.

4.      Most disappointing?

When I saw this question I was like “damn what’s a bad lip product ???????” I then looked in my drawer and knew exactly what I would talk about. These were raved about so much, and I love this brand. Unfortunately these didn’t work for me in the slightest. They’re the Australis Velourlips. These were so drying and clumpy. They’re supposed to be matte, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be creamy am I right?

5.      Liner-yes or no?

Yes! I use liner mostly for underneath lipsticks, which is why they’re all nude colours. The essence liners are amazing, especially on their own!

6.      Something extra?

My current favourite nude is the Model’s Prefer Nude lipstick in Bare. This year I will hopefully get more into nude lip colours. I think they really class up a look.

Well that’s it! I might do an updated one of these in a year or more, if it changes.

Have a good day/night! x
