MAC lipsticks in Teddy 2.0, Sweet Deal, Taupe, and Mocha; Shiseido ModernMatte Powder Lipstick in Disrobed; and Rouge Dior Matte Lipsticks in 625 Mitzah and 100 Nude Look.
Ilia Lip Oil in Saint, Bobbi Brown Crushed Liquid Lip in Mango Mood, YSL Le Bold in 01 (a fantastic red), Pat McGrath Satin Allure in Infatuation
Lancome Mademoiselle Amanda, ABH Soft Brown Satin lipstick, MAC Hug Me.
PML Soft Core, ND Muse,CT Pillow Talk and Lisa Eldridge Velvet Blush….for gloss, all PML’s Prima Donna,
Pale Fire and Bronze Venus….can’s beat PML’s gloss! Oh, and occasionally Dior lip oil in pink or rasberry!
I’ve been using a lot of glosses for the days when I want a natural look, particularly NYX’s Sugar Rush and NARS Orgasm (the stick kind, not liquid). In lipstick, I’ve been gravitating towards my autumn colors for some reason so Smashbox Cognac and MAC Mocha have been getting a lot of use.
MAC Craving and Shiseido Bloodstone.
Pat McGrath Love Potion gloss with Victoria Beckham Jump over it.
Because I absolutely love how it looks on me, Rare Beauty Lip Oil in Serenity is one that I am sure that I will wear often. Other than that, Fenty Cold Heart’d Gloss Bomb, and MAC See Sheer, Nyx SLP in Ever or MUFE Wherever Walnut w/Serenity or See Sheer, plus a warmer fuchsia lipstick or another bright color here or there.
ColourPop Lux Lipstick in Lioness, UD Vice Lipstick in 1993, and MAC x Whitney Houston Cremesheen Lipstick in Nippy’s Moody Nude.
A friend from Twitter just bought me a bunch of lipsticks because I mentioned that I had never really worn any after my lips were insulted as being too thin, so I have 11 various shades of red and pink in my rotation to play with and see if I like. The one I’m wearing today is More Ruby Ultimatte by Maybelline.
Haus Labs Hue lip oil, Clinique Almost Lipstick Black Honey and Fenty Gloss Bomb Riri. I’m really hoping Riri will be made permanent but I’m not holding my breath.
The lip colours I have in rotatioon now include:
CP’s Party Mix
Flower Beautyy’s Chestnut Red
Maybelline’s Spice for Me
Shiseido’s Sleeping Dragon.
Fenty Goji Gang and Lipstick Queen Frog Prince and not often but it’s with me Revlon Wine With Everything (Pearl).
Burts Bees Red Dahlia, Tower 28 Tinted Lip Balm in Mix & NYX Big Fat Lip Oil in Scrollin
I love Red Dahlia! I have a tube in my school bag, one in my gym bag and one in my purse makeup bag. I just looked and I also have one right here in my desk drawer! I apply/reapply often, especially at school, since my lippie wears off during the day and I’ve no time to search out a mirror and reapply. It’s so great!
I have a bit of a grudge against Tower 28 because of the ridiculous price they charge for their SOS spray (it’s hypochlorous water that I get from e11ement for about 1/3 the price) but I just looked at those lip balms and think I might need one in the shade Drink (or maybe Shake).
Well if you like easy to wear , comfortable tinted balms Tower 28 tinted balm as well as Red Dahlia are good options. I find Tower 28 mostly an overrated brand . Too expensive for what it is but it was the Sephora Spring sale and I caved. I do like their lip products!
I don’t know exact shade names, but I generally have berry tones on rotation all year, and in the spring/summer I also love orange-y tones and pinks.
Old ones I only wear in spring: Bobbi Brown artstick in Punch, my beloved YSL Rouge Rose, and an old very warm light pink (also Bobbi Brown)
Lisa Eldridge lip glosses in Blush Lightly and Sorcery. They feel fantastic!
Tower 28 JuiceBalm Tinted Lip Balm in Drink; Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle lipstick in Acid Flamingo.
It has still been cold where I live so my lips need something hydrating, and the Givenchy Rose perfecto liquid balm in 011 Black Pink checks this box. Chantecaille Acacia is in rotation almost all year round. An honarable mention goes to Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in 108 Terre d’Etoiles, which is pretty a soft brown but the formula isn’t the most hydrating.
