Lipstick Overviews + Thanks!

There are days when I don't want to wear a nude lip yet don't want to wear anything too bold. That happens to me a lot actually...
When that happens to tend to reach for MAC's Made with Love lustre lipstick. (Unfortunately, its an LE lipstick, though you may be able to still find it in some mac stores.)

Here's what I'm talking about when I say that its not a subtle colour but not something as bold as red...

No Flash, Natural light




Its a really nice bright pick me up colour and because its a lustre finish, it can be built up. Here is about 3 layers. One layer does not show on up on my pigmented lips.


No Flash, Natural light




With Flash



It is a coral shade leaning closer to pink rather than peachy tones. It has little flecks of shimmer which is just gorgeous! The shimmer is very subtle so its perfect to wear during the day.

I think this is one of the most unique shades I own! So sad that this is an LE shade.




Lately, I've been wanting to finish one product and even though I try to rotate my shadows around, my lipsticks are another story! I choose what lipstick to wear depending on whats on my eyes. Usuualy if I'm wearing greens on my lids I will opt for either a nude or peach on my lips. If I am wearing purple or black on my lids I tend to keep my lips neutral with nudes and light pinks on my lips. So not all my lipsticks are rotated.

There is ONE lipstick I am maybe 30% done, and that is MAC's Fresh Brew lipstick. It is a lustre finish and can be applied without a mirrot. there was one point where I was obssesed with this colour and wore it every chance I got! It looks really mucky in the tube, a dull brown? Well on the lips, depending on how many layers, it gives off a nude glossy sheen :) very pretty!


No Flash, Natural light


I am determined to finish this lipstick! And being that it is so build able it can go with any eye colour :)

I would also like to say thank you to all the ladies who gave me their suggestions on my last post :) I just couldn't decide which colours to use :) Was definitely thinking of winged liner, I think its automatic of me now and I can't do liner without winging it! I have decided to stick with pants anyway because at night it will be chilly, don't wanna catch a cold! That's all I have to post today, til next time!
