SPOTLIGHT: First Quarter Fave LOTD's, Corals, Mauves & Pinks...

So here's the next set of First Quarter Faves, and as you can see I buy a wide variety of brands, and they range in price from as little as $2. If a formula is too drying I usually toss it out, but occasionally I'll hang onto a particular lipstick purely because the colour is just so unique, and then add a little matching or clear gloss over the top to make it work (I'm not able to wear glosses on their own any more as my lips are too blotchy, and like my face, I need COVERAGE.) Honestly, there was a time in my life when I had only six lipsticks - a red, a pale pink, a bright pink, a coral, an orange and a nude. I'd blend them to make different hues, use them up right down to the base, and then carry around a lip brush to get the bit inside the bottom of the case. I wasn't necessarily being frugal (although I had a thing about waste), I didn't see the point of having any more than that in my kit, and I'd buy the same ones that I liked over and over again, rarely trying anything new - lol, how things have changed

Take care of you,

  1. Great swatches! Every one of these colours looks amazing on you Kat! Corals are one shade I just can not pull off with my colouring.

    1. Thanks sweetie - shame about the corals although there's plenty more to choose from hey ♥ Took me a while for me to find the "right" ones, which tend to be more orangey than pink xxx

  2. Great swatches Kats! Like Ingrid, I too can't pull off coral anything unless it's more pink than orange. About the only lip shades I can pull off are blue-reds & most shades of pink.

    1. Hey there Shell - that ColourPop LippieStix might be ok for you. I think I have a few more "more pink than orange" corals in my kit, so I'll swatch them over the next few weeks, might be something you'd like ♥

    1. Thanks so much Beth - yes there's quite a bit of orange in that one. I actually have a neutral complexion with golden freckles so I can get a way with quite a bit. Looking forward to seeing Doo-bai on you xxx

  4. I was shocked how good Mi-a-mee looks on you too. On me it appears a completely different colour. I own Doo-bai too & it's a much better fit. I'm keen on seeing the reds, berries & purples!
