Chanel Glossimer in Seashell. I chose & bought that for my mom, but I’m seriously tempted to get one for myself.
I haven’t found it yet. LOL!
MAC Plumful, maybe.
i keep finding new ones…currently probably mac taupe or ruby woo….though can’t wear ruby woo every day to work…
Lavender Whip, I thought it would look horrible on me but somehow it’s awesome and goes well with my pale skin and red hair LOL
I haven’t bought many lipsticks lately, but have just discovered some new (or new to me anyway) GOSH lipglosses “Light ‘n Shine Lip Glaze” (the ones with the little mirror on the side and lights in the lid by the applicator) and bought 4 shades straight away and still considering going back for the remaining 2. 🙂 They look a bit like dazzleglass, come in such pretty shades. 🙂 I’m in love.
Definitely the Monogram Flourish l/s!! It has an amazing colour and it’s finish like a jewel!
Hey! Mine’s Chanel Tangerine Dream as well. I’ve been wearing it like crazy since I got it. Hard to believe I almost passed it up b/c I thought I didn’t “need” it. I love layering it over a gold lip pencil or a bright coral l/s. Perfection! It’s gorgeous alone, too.
GLADIOLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAC Chignon lipstick! I never thought I’d wear a purple lipstick until I discovered this color. Now that summer is approaching and my skin is getting more tan, it does not have the same effect on me as it did in the beginning. It just doesn’t look right! But I still love it so I will put it away until the weather starts to cool down again 🙂
i love it too… i also picked up quick tease lipglass and together they are ultra pretty
MAC Lollipop Loving!!! <3 It’s so gorgeous.
I agree… i like it so much i dont want to use it up 😀
Ditto!
Wow. I feel like I’m missing out on the Lollipop Loving love. I’ve never even swatched it. I hope MAC still has it.
Me too!!!
HK Strayin……..really brightens up my face, Im going to have to pick up tangerine dream today, lol
Lollipop lovin (for a “natural” look) and brave red (for those hot, look at me red lips). Brave red is the first red l/s that I have ever owned and I love it!
Physicians formula nude pink (i’m poor! and it gives a really cool duochrome look)
Chanel Rouge Allure in Ardent – I’m so in love with Chanel at the moment, it’s hitting my purse really hard!!
My mom gave Ardent to me by mistake (wrong color…) but now I love this color!!! Great for summer, because it’s a orangy brownish coral with a golden vibe. (haha I’m not Christine, you see)
Christine, would you review this color please? Don’t know if you read this comment, since this is an older post…
Ardent… by who?
CHANEL!!! 😉
I was replying to Chica who mentioned Chanel Rouge Allure in Ardent, so I thought just ‘Ardent’ would do.
I bought ‘Genial’ by Chanel too and love that as well but in a different way. Ardent is no. 62 by the way.
Thanks Christine! 🙂
MAC Viva Glam VI SE
But it may be replaced by A Rose Romance l/s… I’m currently liking that right now
Dior Addict Lip color in Rose lingerie # 323
Mac Fresh Brew. Not the most beautiful color in the tube but awesome on lips.
i totally agree! i almost didnt pick it up. but im so glad i did, it is amazing! add me on twitter! http://twitter.com/jessikadsouza
That would be with a whole lot of pleasure, Jessika (trust me!) but I don’t have a twitter account (this is just not my thing I suppose). And to come back to Fresh Brew, when I first saw it, it was like ‘eww, that’s blah, it looks like a concealer’ but when I swatched it on my hand it get brilliant and sheer and that was ‘wow, never seen something so weirdly sexy!’ 😀
i totally agree with you ladies…fresh brew really got me into the nude lipcolours–i had always been afraid they would make me look dead until i saw fresh brew in a magazine feature and tried it out…
I am also a huge fan of Mac´s fresh brew
Hot Tahiti and I’ve rediscovered Skew (the FIRST MAC lipstick I ever bought!)
MAC viva glam VI special edition. love love LOVE it.
Saint Germain…. I thought it would be hard to wear but I love it!
I agree! It looks great with my tanned NW30 skin! I like to wear it with Just Dessert lipglass, or mixed with bubbles with snowscene lipglass.
This one is an oldie but a goodie… MAC Pink Maribu. I am going to CRY when I run out and I am almost at the bottom of the tube using a lipbrush to get every last drop! It was from the Lingerie collection so a few years ago. The closest I have found recently is Alls Fair from the BBR collection which I just had to have and use as a close dupe.
YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15 in Beige Ultimate
and
MAC lipstick in See Sheer
I can’t choose…
MAC’s See Sheer for me too! I loved in when I saw it on Kirsten Stewart’s Nylon mag cover and I can’t go anywhere without it!
YSL Rouge Volupte in Lingerie Pink (#7, I think) and MAC Loving Touch See Through Lip Color. Both are super-pretty pinks 🙂
I know this lipstick did not get much hype but I LOVE MAC’s Buoy o’ Buoy which came out in the Naughty Nauticals collection last year. I have full highly pigmented lips and it is one of the only neutral colors that doesn’t wash me out or come across as too opaque.
I also picked up A Rose Romance the other day and I am really loving it!
Either Lollipop lovin (for a coraly colour) or Long Stem Rose slimshine (for a pink lip). I like pretty, neutral shades for lips…. these work really well for me! But I’m lucky that my skin is pretty workable. Except for browns and oranges (I have seen them! ew!), every other colour I’ve tried has looked pretty good on me!
MAC: Up the amp and lickable
Fashion Mews! I love it so much. It’s great with almost anything and it wears well, no ring around my mouth or lipstick on my teeth with this.
There has been quite a few. I really fell in love with Sweetie and Lickable from MAC because they weren’t my usual shades.
I also loved the Chanel Glosses in Tangerine Dream and Ginger Blossom(?) but I cant afford those at the moment:( SO SOON!
Honeylove by MAC =)
MAC Show Orchid, wow !
Me too! I always managed to look good in pink lipsticks, and I had a bright pink from MUFE, but Show Orchid is a million times better.
lollipop loving!!!!! i don’t believe in back-ups…. but for this particular shade.. i got 3!
Mac Lovelorn
YSL Rouge Volupte #18!
MAC mellow mood from Electroflash. It’s the hardest thing to find a dupe for! I also am in love with Revlon Just Enough Buff!
MUFE lipstick #303 (Pearly violet) is the right combination of pink with a hint of purple. I love it! 2nd place is Lollipop Lovin for a more subdued lip… I thought sugarsweet wasn’t for me, then I tried this color on and I’m in love!
CB96 its a gorgeous orange gold i love it its such an awesome color for spring
none quite honestly
MAC’s lightly ripe. I had it laying around for months without really using it until one day I picked it up put it one and realised it my perfect my lips but better shade, and it doesn’t act at all like a usual luster. Really wish I had picked up two.
Vincent Longo Baby Balm l/s in La Dulceta. I’m not much of a lipstick gal, and this is more like tinted lip balm! I loved it.
Dior Addict in Gallant Bronze. Great texture, finish and it’s such a beautiful bronzy-pink, but just toned down enough for everyday. 😀
Raffia by Chantecaille. Just a unique shimmery pinky-beige shade – great texture, too.
I love Lollipop Loving with Mimmy lipglass..or Saint Germain with She Loves Candy Lipglass
Mac Angel L/S (best light nude-pink shade)
Mac Lollipop loving ( best unique coral shade)
Chanel Rouge Allure in Maniac – my friend went to the boutique on the east side to buy it for me, what a sweet guy.
I love Lollipop Loving from the Heatherette Collection and I recently bought another one from Sugar Sweet and I love love Straying from Hello Kitty.
There are two MAC L/S that I loved are L/E and am living without them now: Spanish Fly from the Huetopia collection from way back in 2000. I bought 3 or 4 and I used it down to the tube 2 years ago! It is a lovely frosty dark burgundy with iridescent green cast in the tube and it looks like a pinkish red on my lips that wears better and better throughout the day. I also Pink Cabana from Sundressing in 2006 looks like a pinker Lollipop Loving with the green iridescent but in a frost finish.
Based on NC20 skintone with pigmented lips
Best Peach Lipstick:YSL Rouge Volupte #13 Peach Passion
Best Dark Pink: MAC HK Big Bow
Best Nude: MAC Cremesheen Shy Girl
Best light pink: MAC Please Me, Creme Cup
Best Violet: MAC Up the Amp
Not only is Lollypop Loving my first MAC lipstick, it is also my absolute FAVE lip color out of everything in my makeup bag 🙂 I LOVE IT
Same here, it’s my very first Mac lipstick too!!!
MAC Snob. I finally tried it out, & I love it! lol
Lollipop Loving!
Slimshine Lipstick in MOST WANTED Most Wanted *yummmm* (im an nc50)
MAC lipstick in Nice to be Nice
Senorita by Nars w/ Galactica Lip Lacquer in the center of the bottom lip:)
MAC’s Lollipop Loving…but I dont own it :'(
Also MAC’s Lovelorn…which I also dont own :'(
OK, OK, one I own? MAC’s Mellow Mood l/s topped with a l/g….but for real, MAC’s HK Pink Fish lip conditioner 🙂
Guerlain Rouge G De Guerlain lipstick in #62 Georgia, it’s perfection.
Chanel’s Gipsy Scarlet. Gorgeous!!
M.A.C’s Cute-ster from the Hello Kitty collection. I’m afraid I will run out soon!
Im crazy in love with soft spot by mac I tend to stick to light l/s and l/g s I love the tiny bits of shimmer in it and lately I’ve been wearing high tea a lot its so natural since im usually wearin dark eyes
I love MACs Creme Cup, perfest daytime color and it feels so creamy and good on my lips.
Stila’s “Nicole”! Fantasic peachy…mmmmm
Lavender Whip – suits me or not!
I fell in love with MAC What A Do lipstick from BBR. For me, it has become one of the most versatile lipsticks ever. Depending on what liner or lipglass i use with it, I can turn it into the perfect shade of a neutral pink or neutral beige. I am so happy with it. However, me & Viva Glam VI SE are rapidly becoming best springtime friends.
MAC’s 3N. I LOVE IT!
Believe it or not, Clinique’s Poppy Love. It is the right combo of l/s vs. gloss. I really like Clinique’s regular lipsticks as well.
fasion mews hands down
WetnWild’s 520E. It’s such a gorgeous color-poppy with fuschia tinge.
russian red
pink plaid
what about you Christine?
oops, i just read which lipstick u fell in love with lol 😀
Lavender Wrip!
I didn’t pick it up at first because I thought the colour would be too crazy and weird. But when it came on the web site again after being sold out I pick it up just to look at. Boy am I glad I did!It’s so gorgeous on me and doesn’t look strange at all. I love it love it looooove it! i wear it alone or with Baby sparks on top. Gorgeous!
**hehe Lavender WHIP that is**
Way to Love from “A Rose Romance” collection 🙂
there are so many fans of lollipop lovin’ and lavender whip…!
i bought both of those cuz i really liked how they swatched on my hand, but i’m having trouble putting them together with a look i’m happy with…
any suggestions on how they might work for an nw35?
Mac VG VI LE…why LE Mac, WHY?! This is the 1st l/s that’s got me wearing l/s on a daily basis-usually I’m just a gloss-n-go girl.
MAC Hug Me Lipstick
MAC Love Nectar Lustreglass
MAC Brave Red for a really glam look. It’s such a beautiful shade of red! MAC HK Big Bow for a fun and cute look out clubbing. Saint Germain with a bit of gold or bronzy gloss over top. Its the only way I can make it work on my skintone, but it looks great!
MAC Hello Kitty Cute-ster
but mine keeps breaking
🙁
my first MAC lipstick too
Cargo’s Plant Love Joshua Tree. It’s the perfect mix of shimmery bronzey pink for me.
mac pleasureseeker.. im already on my backup!
My favorite lipstick ever is Role Play from MAC’s Raquel Welch collection.
Currently, I’m loving on Big Bow from HK. I might have to check out Lollipop Loving, since it’s been getting such huge raves.
Lollipop loving is my all time fav…I dont usually buy backups either unless its eyeshadow quads(i have 2 of each of the hello kitty eye quads) but the lollipop loving I have 3….!!!
Chanel Rouge Allue in Nude 🙂 Somehow it makes my lips noticeable ala MLBB, makes them plumpier and redder (even though the color is more of shimmery beige)
🙂
