Temptalia Asks You - What's your favorite lipstick to wear to feel good?

What’s your favorite lipstick to wear to feel good? Is it all about a bold, red lip? Dark and vampy? Light and playful pink?

.

I probably like to go for a really fun pink–nothing hot fuchsia pink, but nothing totally nude. Something like Sweetie lipstick and a nice, iridescent lipgloss on top — maybe Palatial lustreglass!

I totally second that, Viv! I love the YSL Rouge Voluptes.

Recently I’ve been reaching for Most Popular lipstick from the Hello Kitty Collection – I pair it with Sweet Strawberry lipstick.

clinique almost lipstick in black honey. never fails to do the trick. it instantly brightens up my face… and it’s also moisturizing!

red. Mac Russian Red, Ruby Woo, a few Sephora reds, and most recently the Ponytail red from the 1959 Stila Barbie can. It’s smooth and moist while not being to shiny. I love the matte lips.

A pretty creamy pink is always good! Estee Lauder Crystal Pink, Dior Addict in Rose Vision or (my current favourites!) Chi Chi Viva la Diva lipsticks in either Nine to Five or Society Snob.
Beautiful creamy texture, good coverage, moisturizing and smell like Turkish Delight!

MAC Up The Amp topped with Little VI…it’s purple but it’s fun on days when I’m not excited about getting up and going to class. 🙂

— “MAC Red” – thought I couldn’t wear red ’til I tried this. (Makes me feel confident, too.)

— MAC “Hollywood Nights,”(HEATHERETTE collection). Somehow, this particular hot pink lights up my eyes, makes my washed-out skin look pale & luminous – & makes me happy!

— MAC “Viva Glam II” Perfect nude, for feeling happy, serene.

To make myself feel oh so so so special I’ll use Victoria’s Secret diamond lip gloss with real crushed diamond dust in it. They’re limited edition and so spectacular on, they challenge Dazzleglass in intensity of sparkle and shine. Diamond’s are a girls best friend! =)

wet n’ wild’s 514a (it’s the most beautiful shade of blue based red with shimmer! great for my olive skin tone! and it’s .99!)

I luv, luv, luv boy bait from MAC cremesheen. I pair it up with creme cup or HK fresh brew lipstick and it comes out perfect with my complexion (NC45). Pale browny-pinks make me happy 🙂

My favorite–for over 25 years!–is clinique raspberry glace. I buy others or get free Lancome and always go back to it. It’s the perfect blue tone berry for me–makes me happy!

My favorite lipstick of all time is MAC’s Peachstock. I’m a huge fan of nude lips and Peachstock is by far the most opaque and prettiest nude on me. Since it has a peachy undertone to it, it doesn’t wash me out.

Something colourful but not graish. Mac Strawberry Blonde lipstick is my alltime favourite and it cheers me up because I just love the colour so much. Plus the Vanilla scent of mac lipsticks is so yummy!

Im NC42 and if I really want to feel confident I wear Classic Dame from the LE Mattene collection. I also love to wear Strayin from HK. Its also great and vibrant. It’s just a bit lower maintenance.

Mac’s Fun Fun is my favorite lipstick!! Please Mac repromote this! Does anyone know a dupe for this? Is Real Doll similar? I have 2 back ups and I keep trying not to use it but it is the bomb!!

I don’t have a favourite l/s as yet but I do have a favourite l/g- Possum Nose Red. It shows up really well on me and its just such a gorgeous colour.
