Seeing that my last few posts were product reviews, I thought I would switch things up and share with you which lip colours I’m currently using or that I keep in my purse. I’m not sure why, but for the past while, my makeup bag (in my purse) has been full of only lip colours, Vaseline, bandages, and a rollerball perfume. What type of makeup bag is that? I need to re-organize my makeup bag and replace the lip products with other things!
I keep telling myself that I should only keep a minimum of 2 lipsticks while I’m on the go, but somehow it ends up being more. But if I wear a smaller bag, I only carry one with me. So maybe I should start carrying only small bags?? Nah, I can’t wear small bags on a regular basis =P
Starting from top, going clockwise
Courreges Estee Lauder cheek + lip ball in ultra pink: I reviewed this on my previous post, and it is definitely one of my favourite lip colours. It’s super easy to dab on your lip when you’re in a rush, but want to add some colour to your face. Also, don’t let the name fool you – it’s not actually that bright of a pink.
Covergirl lip perfection in 360 euphoria: Honestly, I’m not sure why this is in my makeup bag and I should probably take it out. Nothing too special about this lipstick, I think I found it in my room one day and wanted to give it some use. Although it doesn’t look super bright, I find this shade a bit too bright for me on a daily basis.
Weird, because I know that the lip ball looks brighter but the lip ball is actually more sheer.
NARS satin lip pencil in rikugien: I love this lip pencil because it looks really natural, and glides on really well!
Chanel in 80 etole: This is probably my favourite out of the bunch, sentimentally speaking. It was a birthday present from the boyfriend and he sneakily took one of my other lipsticks to the Chanel counter when I was at work. Then, he asked them which shade would match the most and gave me this one!
Not only is the shade very versatile and great for almost any occasion or just everyday wear, it has a nice floral scent to it and is pretty long lasting too.
Well, there you have the lip colours that I currently keep in my makeup bag! I should do a de-cluttering of my makeup bag and select only two lip colours, four seems a bit too much to me and it adds a tiny bit of weight to my purse for no reason. I’m curious to look back on this post a year later and see what I end up with then.
Thank for reading!
