The Lipstick Lover Tag


I saw this tag floating around and immediately knew I had to do it. When I actually sat down to answer the questions it was a lot harder than I thought since lipstick is my ultimate weakness. Also, making decisions on "favorites" isn't exactly my strong point. I managed to do it though so here are my answers on the lipstick lover tag!

1. Favorite balm/treatment? 


Definitely has to be my Vaseline Rosy lips..still my favorite several tubs later!

2. Favorite eye catching red?





After swatching about 50 shades I had to settle on Revlon's British Red. It's a true red that's bright and bold and very eye catching on the lips.

3. Best Luxury and Drug Store?


It was easy for me to choose best Luxury, since I mainly only own Lancome lipsticks in that category, but they really do have a great formula. I showcased Trendy Mauve in the cream formula but all their lipsticks are really amazing. For drugstore it was more difficult as I love so many brands, but I ultimately had to choose e.l.f. Moisturizing lipstick. When I don't know what lipstick to choose I always reach for one of these as they are super hydrating and easy to wear. This one's in the shade Nicely Nude.

4. Most Disappointing?


These Too Faced melted lipsticks aren't disappointing as far as color and wear. They do exactly what they promise, but for all the hype these get in my opinion they're nothing special. In fact, I've found dupes for a third of the price that are exactly the same but way more hydrating. This is in the shade Melted Peony.

5. Lipliner: yes or no?


Most definitely yes. As I've gotten older my lips definitely need a little more definition. Two of my all time favorites are the Colourpop liners and e.l.f. Mineral lip liner. Both are super creamy and pigmented. From top : Peachy and Westie.

6. Favorite Lipgloss?


I'm not huge fan of lipgloss but one that I do wear often is the NYX butter gloss. They are super pigmented and not sticky like most glosses. I have the entire collection and truly love them all, but one of my favorites is Peaches and Cream.

7. Anything else?


Yes, I have to mention lip crayons. Virtually every brand makes these now and I love them. They are super simple to apply and the majority have a minty feel to them which makes them so nice to wear. Three of my favorites at the moment: Revlon Colorburst matte balm in Sultry, Laqa & Co lip lube which doesn't have a name but it's bright purple and NYC Cityproof twistable crayon in Riverside Rose.

Going through all my lip products always makes me happy...it's the simple things! Remember if you do this tag to leave me a link so I can read your answers! XO

  3. I'm desperate to try the NYX lip butters. The colours look gorgeous. I was worried that the too faced ones were just hype so I'm glad you said it. I'd hate to spend that much money to be left disappointed

  6. Great tag! I'm also a bit addicted to lipsticks, but somehow I always end up wearing the same shade or two. I definitely think I am going to check out the Revlon British Red lipstick. It's so difficult to find the perfect shade of red, but the one you selected is gorgeous!
