For lipstick I would choose MAC’s “Velvet Teddy” because I wear it a lot already. For gloss I’d probably pick MAC’s “So Bad” from the Dare to Wear collection since it’s my favorite gloss of the moment. =)

That’s a tough one. I’d probably choose a nude pink shade, like MAC’s Patisserie. I think it would work w/ just about any outfit or makeup look.

MAC’s Laugh a Lot lipstick which came out with the Spring Forecast collection. I absolutely LOVE it. It is the perfect pink on me (NC40ish, warm toned) and it was my very first MAC lipstick. 🙂 It’s also lustre finish so I love how it’s really moisturising.

My first instinct is to say Show Orchid (MAC) because it’s my HG lipstick! But if I’m being practical and thinking about times I might need a more natural look, I would say Most Popular (MAC) because it’s more subtle but still gorgeous.

If I could only use one lip product for a month – that would be a total disaster. 😀
probably I’d choose MAC’s Just Add Color lipglass! 😀

I would use MAC Hue. It’s my new favorite nude. It’s always chic, goes with everything. I could definitely wear this everyday for a month — I haven’t already haha.

Lazy Day lipstick from MAC (To the Beach) Hands down!
I have been wearing it everyday for over 2 weeks and i could wear it everyday for 2 more;)

for a lip gloss, it would be Bare Escentuals Buxom in Amber because it goes with all my fave eye looks and many of my lipsticks!
if i had to choose a lipstick, it would be Chanel Rouge Allure Lacque in Santal – it is simply divine!

This is always my dilemma when going away. I keep trying to pick just one lipstick and one gloss but it’s impossible! I would bring maybe 3 or 4 and end up buying a couple more while on the trip. A couple of things that have worked as a purse staples though are MAC Viva Glam V lipstick and Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Blush.

Bare Minerals 100% Natural lipstick in Cream Puff. I’m obsessed with this color right now! It’s the perfect neutral nude lip color that doesn’t pull orange on me and has enough definition that I don’t have to wear lipliner. I love it so much I could wear it for a month but I usually wear it with a little bit of Bare Minerals gloss in Glazed Donut.

I’d say it depends on my mood that month… If I were going through a coral phase (like now) then it would be fresh salmon. If I were digging pinks that month, I’d go with Cosmo or The Body Shop’s lipstick in 48. If I were having a nude/natural/neutral lip phase, hug me would be my choice then just pair it with a matching gloss. 🙂

That’s easy – MAC Lipglass Shock-o-Late . . . as it is I wear it almost everyday as a conditioning gloss. (I find Lipglass treats my lips so much better than most traditional lip balms.) Plus the color matches my own lip color very closely so it looks very natural. Loves it!

Lipstick: See Sheer
Lipgloss: Lancome juicy tube in Guava Enchantment (Or at least I think that’s what it’s called, the name’s been rubbed off!)

If I owned it, it’d be MAC Creme Cup, but of the lipsticks I have, I’d have to say MAC Jazzed. It’s such a pretty, fun colour and I adore the Cremesheen formula.
