1. Best balm or treatment
This has to be the Body Shop lip butter in Grapefruit. It smells amazing, tastes a little bit of Grapefruit (but who eats lip balm?) and applies so creamy! As it is slightly pink, it can leave a slight pink tint on your lips, which I think is very pretty if you aren't wearing a lip colour! This retails at £4 so it's a little bit expensive but it is soo worth it!
2. Best eye catching red.
My favourite red lipstick is Rimmel Moisture Renew in "Mayfair Red Lady". This was a close winner between MAC Russian Red, but this won purely because it is so creamy and moisturising as the name suggests! The colour is a perfect pillar box red and looks amazing on. This does need a lipliner as it does bleed and it also needs topping up a couple of times but who cares when it's a beauts colour and formula!
3. Best luxury and best drugstore?
YSL. YSL. What a beautiful brand. Thier lip products are top quality and have perfect everything. I got a Rouge Pur Couture lipstick in the shade 13 for Christmas. This was actually a mistake as I asked for the Rouge Volupture lipstick but blimey I don't care. It I'd a lovely reddy-orange and smells so high end it hurts. The pigmentation is just to die for and the packaging is so slick and fancy. Definite love for you Yves♡
My favourite drugstore has to be the Revlon Matte balm in "elusive". The product is very moisturising which is surprising as it is matte (Rubywoo comes to mind when I think of matte lipsticks and we all know about how drying it is!) and the colour payoff is lovely. I bought "audacious" as well but gave that away as I found the colour to be a lot brighter than in the packaging, so I was very upset, however Elusive looks exactly the same in the tube an on your lips!
4. Best MAC lipstick.
"Peach Blossom" was my first MAC lipstick and has been my favourite since day 1. It's a cremesheen formula so is super glossy and moisturising so is perfect for spring and summer. It's a lovely pinky-nude which makes it super wearable for any age or skin tone. It smells amazing, as do all MAC lipsticks, and applies so smoothly. It's staying power is top notch and I just love it so much!
5. Most disappointing.
If you have read my previous posts you will realise I really don't like the Nivea Lip Butter.
It goes on the lips in a white pastey consistency and it is sticky I find. I find it dehydrating to an extent because of all the sugars in it from the scent, which is actually really lovely! Not the best product Nivea have produced...
6. Liner- yes or no?
If I'm wearing a red lip, which is fairly often, I find a lipliner very useful. However on a day to day basis when I wear more of a neutral lip I tend to let lipliner go. I struggle to find a nice nude lipliner which will complement all my lipsticks so I don't really bother. I need to find one of these invisible lipliners, which would be perfect!
7. Anything else?
I've only had "Benetint" for a few weeks now and as with most lip and cheek products it works better on one or the other. I find this leaves an odd looking smudge on the cheek but a beautiful healthy colour on the lip. As this retails at £22, I would recommend picking up a tester beforehand.
