SPOTLIGHT: Favourite July 2018 LOTD's...

As promised, this is my LOTD catch-up post - just for the record, these collages are so interesting for me as I have zero conscious recollection of the lipsticks I've worn in previous months, and this collection is particularly revealing as there's only one true red - what on earth was I thinking? It's all a bit odd as I almost always wear at least one scarlet lippie in a week, but obviously NOT in July lol...


Oh and I have a special giveaway at the end, so please read on ...


1. I think this is my favourite plum of all-time - Max Factor Color Elixir Giant Pen Stick in Intense Plum. Oh Max baby, PLEASE bring this back! 
2. Here's one for the bargain hunters - boe professional Colour Last Lipstick in Primped - beautiful formula and it's a steal for only $8.95 at BigW ...
3. The Lone Red is essence Bring the Glam On Star Lipstick in shade 01. The bullet is creamy and lush, and in the shape of a star - so very cute, but in reality, not all that practical ...




4. This gorgeous bricky shade is Milani Cinnamon Spice - another one I hope one day they will bring back (why do I fall in love with discontinued lippies?) ...
5. Next is one of my favourite browns for Autumn/Winter, Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Bronze Metal - I do so love this range for comfort and value ...
6. And number 6 is Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Coffee Shimmer - not quite so daring as the previous one, but gorgeously earthy all the same ...




7. Next we have the find of the month, LipMonthly Lipstick, shade 02. Wowee, what an unusual colour - I'd describe it as burnt orange, and I absolutely adore it. I guess it was only a matter of time before LipMonthly released their own range, and if this is any indication, bring it on! ...
8. Ohh...the darling (and most expensive @ $46) of the bunch (thanks to beautyheaven) - Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color in Watermelon. There are no words, just ...
9. And another gem from a LipMonthly bag - this is a matte, but a comfortable one, City Color Be Matte Lipstick in Melon ...




10. Yay, the pretty pinks, starting with Mirenesse French Kiss Lip Cocktail in Bijoux - this lippie is beautifully moist, wears well too ...
11. 2nd from Mirenesse - this is their unbelievably sensational Lip Bomb, shade #3. I have quite a few of these and MUST dig them out because they really are something special - the pigmentation is extraordinary ...
12. I need to buy another one of these - MBA Cosmetics Color Rich Lipstick in Mauvalicious. It's the most exquisite feminine girly frosted pink, n'est pas? ...




13. On the home stretch now, and into my precious PURPLES. On the left is Australis Colour Inject Moisturising Mineral Lipstick in Mash Up. Sadly no longer listed on their website...sob. They seem to have gone ballistic with their GIRLBOSS range, so it would appear the lippies are on the way out ...
14. Another from MBA Cosmetics, and so dear to my heart - Heliotrope ...sigh...
15. And lucky last is Colourpop Satin Lips in So Wavy - not crazy about the formula, but the colour speaks to me in the language of love ...


And now for the giveaway!

So I ordered some lipsticks from Nutrimetics when they were on special recently, and I have two to give away to whoever thinks they could use them...
  • Hydra Brilliance - Amber, a soft peach

    1. It’s funny Kats but seeing them here on your blog and not just on BH some of the other colours appeal to me. Bring the glam on is still stunning but lipbomb and mauvalicious are in a three way race for fave.

      1. It can be overwhelming to see them all together in one picture Okatko - it's a bit like Sephora, there's too much to look at lol! Glad you could find something you like ♥

      1. I was too **duality** - I've had very little exposure to this brand till now, but I was really quite impressed with both the gorgeous colour and the comfort ♥

    6. Kats - it always amazes me how your lips can look with bright colours down to pinks. It makes them easy to look at the colours on your blog to know which ones we would like. Not entering this, as I have just bought a few lipsticks lately and also have a Nude by Nature coming this week. I know, I have an addiction.

      1. Thanks Mandy, it's so good to know that these posts might come in handy to someone other than myself! And yes we have the same problem with lipsticks, but I'm sort of in denial - I call it a passion lol ♥♥♥

      1. It's one of my greatest loves Cassandra - I bought three of these crayons when I found it they were being discontinued. The texture of the stick is way too soft, which is probably why it was discontinued, but the colour is to die for xxx
