I hope you're having a fantastic Friday!
Today I wanted to share my five favourite lipsticks! I picked my top five based on several things including colour, pigmentation and formula.
Top to bottom:
Lipland Cosmetics "Creme Corsett"
Milani "Matte Blissful"
Colourpop "Westie"
Maybelline Color Drama "Minimalist"
Shanghai Suzy "Miss Leah Baby Cocoa"
As you can see from these swatches I have chosen five nude colours. This wasn't intentional, I only realised this when I swatched them. I personally love a good pink nude so I guess this just proves what I already knew! Let's dive in to my Top 5 and discuss why I love them.
Lapland "Creme Corsett" Ssssamantha collaboration
I hadn't purchased anything from Lipland Cosmetics before but I was a supporter of the beauty guru/all round awesome woman Samantha Randaval. I knew her love of the perfect nude, and after seeing swatches of the lipstick I had to have it. I wasn't let down at all by this collaboration! Not only is this the perfect colour, the formula is perfection. The formula is incredibly creamy and feels wonderful on the lips. The swatches above are ONE swipe of the lipstick! It is by far the creamiest most pigmented lipstick I have ever owned and has good staying power. I plan to purchase some more Lipland lipsticks if this is the kind of quality I can expect!
Colourpop Lippie Stix "Westie"
The hard thing about including a Colourpop colour is that they often get rid of colours, luckily this colour is one of their most popular and its still available! Obviously the price of Colourpop products attracts people to their brand, however I am also impressed with their Lippie Stix formula. I find the formula very creamy and nourishing. They glide on and smell lovely. They have such a wide range of colours and at $5 USA a lippie stix, I'd recommend you give them a go!
Milani Color Statement Matte "Blissful"
We don't have Milani in Australia so this was something I picked up on eBay. This is hands down the best colour/shade I own! I love the pink/mauve tone of it and feel that it compliments my pale and cool skin tone. The formula is creamy and nourishing despite being a matte. It and has good staying power. I own a few other shades in this range and they are all also wonderful, however Matte Blissful is the best colour for me by far! I plan on buying some back ups!
Maybelline Color Drama "Minimalist"
I don't own too many Maybelline lipsticks, but I do own quite a few of these Color Drama crayons. They are SO incredibly smooth to apply to the mouth which I wasn't expecting at all. They feel very nourishing on the lips, and the colour range is great. This colour is a very subtle colour, I do also love the orange/red shade "Fab Orange". The staying power isn't there, but as they are a dream to apply I'm personally fine with that.
Shanghai Suzy "Miss Leah Baby Cocoa" Whipped Matte Lipstick
Shanghai Suzy is a cruelty free, vegan, Australian lipstick brand that I've come to love over the last few years. Shanghai Suzy produce seasonal colors which means they don't have a permanent line. I love this back at the same time it can become very expensive because I personally fall in love with the colours and want the entire seasonal collection! Miss Leah Baby Cocoa has been one of their most popular colours and has been brought back on two occasions because of this. Shanghai Suzy have many different formulations including the Whipped Matte, Nourish, Shimmering and Semi-Matte). The products themselves are fruit scented and the best smelling lipstick I've ever purchased!
I may do a blog post on the collection I currently own as I have quite a few.
What are some of your favourite lipsticks? I'd love to know in the comments below!
Gentle hugs,
Bridget
