Wearing - Holiday Lips

Last month I went on a beautiful holiday to the south coast and of course I took a whole host of lipsticks with me. I didn't actually think to take any specific pictures for the blog but here are a few I managed to find that show off the lipsticks and a sneaky look at some of the outfits I wore as well. 

Day 1:  I don't recall wearing anything on my lips at all but I thought I would show you my makeup and outfit all the same.

Day 2: W7 Mega Matte Lips - Rose
This stuff is seriously long lasting. I am a dry lipped gal by nature and although this is matte it isn't drying and doesn't leave you with that crusty lip feeling.

Day 3: Deborah Milano Shine Creator - 8 Glowy Amaranto

I love this lipstick to pieces. It reminds me of a super pigmented lipbalm. It is so glossy and smooth but because of that it obviously won't last you all day. 

Day 4: Dainty Doll - It's my party (Please excuse the face, I was facing one of my biggest fears. Boats)
This was a slight disappointment for me, it left my lips really dry and tight feeling and wore off pretty strangely. 

Day 5: Deborah Milano Milano Red - 11 Orange Brocade
Orange lips are without a doubt my thing. I love how they look and I love that not everyone will be wearing them. This lipstick is light weight, pigment packed and reasonably long lasting.

Wearing - Nude Caramel

This is a really typical every day colour for me. If I don't know what I want to wear on my lips then I normally end up with a classic nude like this one.

Lipstick: Clarins Rouge Eclat - Nude Caramel

For reference, I always apply some lip balm and a thin layer of either concealer or foundation to nude out the lip before putting on any lip colour.

Wearing - Red Velvet

This isn't so much a look of the day as I didn't wear it out the house. Every now and then I get the urge to play with makeup and see what happens. This is the result.

Lipstick: Revlon Lip Butter - Red Velvet

For reference, I always apply some lip balm and a thin layer of either concealer or foundation to nude out the lip before putting on any lip colour.

Wearing - Hollywood

Sorry for the picture heavy post today. For some reason I decided to create a look based on Gretchen from Prison Break and this was the result. Whether I achieved what I wanted to, I'm not entirely sure, but I really liked the final look. Enjoy.

Lip Liner: Myface Cosmetics - Brick

Lipstick: Seventeen Mirror Shine - Hollywood

For reference, I always apply some lip balm and a thin layer of either concealer or foundation to nude out the lip before putting on any lip colour.

Wearing - Snob

Mac Snob was one of the first lipsticks I fell in love with. I loved the fact it wasn't your average pink. The purple undertones really appealed to me. I definitely do not wear this Lipstick as much as I should but it will probably always be one of my favourites.

Wearing - Vegas Volt

The glorious weather over the weekend was just screaming for a bright lip to accompany it and my lipstick of choice was Vegas Volt from Mac. I love an orange lip in the sunshine and although this looks super bright in the bullet it has an almost pastel edge to it once on the lips. I think this makes it easier to wear than a true bright like Morange. 

Sorry there are no full face pictures but I am having an acne nightmare at the moment.

Wearing - Myface Cosmetics

This lipstick was ridiculously difficult to photograph but it is definitely closer to the lip swatch colour than the full face pictures. Despite that, it is a lipstick I have barely ever worn and I can't think why. I am absolutely in love with it. It is a bright pink that is really wearable. My lips were having a particularly dry day so I popped on a Korres Lip Butter in a matching shade for extra moisturisation and a bit of shine. 

Lipstick: Myface Cosmetics - Strawberry Fields

LipBalm: Korres Lip Butter - Pomegranate

For reference, I always apply some lip balm and a thin layer of either concealer or foundation to nude out the lip before putting on any lip colour.

Wearing - L'oreal Rouge Caresse

My Lip of the Day posts will now be titled "Wearing" and today I am wearing one of the L'oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks in 101 Tempting Lilac. This is my favourite colour out of all the Caresse lipsticks I own and a really easy colour to wear.

Identity Crisis...

I am going to try and keep this brief but basically I had a major identity crisis and a mini melt down but I am back now and back to my original name. I have no idea what made me want to change my blog name in the first place but I did it, I wasn't happy with it, so I changed it back.

I want to apologies for messing everyone around and making things so confusing but I promise this is it now, no more name changes, just straight up lipstick.

As you may of noticed, I have had a bit of a face lift. That is all thanks to my gorgeous pal Fee over at Makeup Savvy. She really is ridiculously talented.

You can still follow me on Blog Lovin' and Hello Cotton, but I now have a Pinterest where you can check out all my favourite lip pictures, and an Instagram where I will be adding Outfit Of The Day pictures, Nail Of The Day pictures, and anything else that takes my fancy.

Thank you for all your continued support and prepare yourself for some serious lipstick loving.
