SPOTLIGHT: 3rd Quarter 2016 Fave LOTD's, Corals, Mauves & Pinks...

More of my faves from July to September - Corals, Mauves & Pinks, so flattering to just about any colouring, so long as you find the right one! Of the three, I admit corals are the trickiest, depending on whether they have more pink or orange content, but the rewards are great if you have the time and inclination to experiment. Mauves and pinks are far less challenging, and they're just so perfect for Spring when I start digging through my wardrobe for some pretty pastels ...


These two are relatively new in my collection - the NYX Liquid Suedes are reasonably comfortable and long lasting, though I prefer the formula of the Maybelline Vivid Matte range (review HERE). This colour though is absolutely gorgeous. The Rimmel Peachy Beachy is another one I'm particularly keen on as it has more depth without being too bright ...



I find these Australis Velour Lips Creams very drying, but I put up with the sensation as the colours are just so pretty, they apply evenly, and can be reapplied without looking flaky or scruffy. The MNY Colordrama pencils continue to be high on my love-list - the comfort and performance are hard to beat for the price. I actually use this as a liner for my other coral lipsticks as I can't seem to find a coral lip pencil that blends in as well ...



The Revlon Balm is another new love - I don't think I have a mauve that's as divine as this. Deliciously moisturising too and the hue just suits my skin tone perfectly. The MBA Lovespell has a slight frosting, and that makes it just that little bit different ...



Raspberry Ripple is almost what I call a Barbie pink - super pretty, and goes with quite a few of my new warmer weather wardrobe acquisitions. I'm not one to go for frosty finishes usually, but combined with this hue, it's a total winner. The City Color Berry is a one-of-a-kind shade in my collection - hard to believe as I have SO many pink lipsticks, but this has a unique freshness and juicy quality that makes it a standout ...



Adore the vibrancy of this LA Girl paint - surprisingly easy to create an even finish, and it doesn't bleed. I've included the L'Oreal Eternal Rose because it's another one that's kind of on its own in my kit - the blue content makes it wearable with even purple clobber ...

Is there one here that would suit you? Next up will be the ravishing REDS, so I hope you'll be back soon...

Take care of you,

  1. Kat, you chose very pretty colors, but NYX Liquid Suede in life's a beach is definitely the winner for me. The peachy- coral- pink color is stunning and I love it. Can't wait to see you red lipsticks, hopefully it will help me to finally dive into red lips. :)

    1. It sure is gorgeous Michelle, and I love the fact that it's not completely matte. Planning to have the reds up later this week - hope it's helpful to you, I avoided red lipstick until I was in my 50's, but now I'm sold!

    1. Definitely agree with you hon - mind you I wore them throughout Winter to brighten my days, but they go even better with my Spring wardrobe xxx

  3. Love the look of Rimmel's Peachy Beachy! Actually, the first 2 rows of lipsticks are all great. Pink is much easier for me to wear being so fair, but I still have to watch out for undertones. Can't wait to see the reds!

    1. It's a lovely shade Shell - has more pink in it than my other corals. Reds up soon, promise! ♥
