Time for another round of lipstick love! Thank goodness the days are getting longer and warmer - I'm so over scarves, gloves and even my beloved boots, which are becoming a wee bit too hot and stuffy after the morning chill has faded. While it's quite a chore, I do enjoy the end result of switching the wardrobe around and packing away the winter woollies for another year. I'm also ready for some pretty pastels and brights on my pout too, although as I'm always at least a month behind with these posts, you'll still be seeing the deep reds, plums and berries for a while yet...
As usual, I'll start with the nudes, which I've been exploring (and loving!) quite a bit more than usual lately ♥...
1. Nude by Nature Satin Liquid Lipstick - Natural. Oh wow - I haven't fallen in love with a true nude like this for a long long time. I think you know by now that I don't normally go for pale lipsticks, and the closest I go to a nude is more of a mauve or a coral (like the next one), but I'm in awe of this particular hue, which is extraordinarily flattering, and the formula is a total darling. Thanks to beautyheaven for sending this to me - I just plain adore it! ♥♥♥
2. Nutrimetics Hydra Brilliance - Coral Silk. Love this one too - very high comfort factor, and although it's pale, there's enough pigment to keep me looking healthy, and it seems to take on a new life when I coordinate with coral clothing. A pity it's a special edition ♥♥♥...
3. Revlon Hyper Matte Ultra HD Matte Lip Mousse - Spice. Another nudey one (actually I'd call this a nude with benefits) that I spotted on special in the supermarket - such a pretty shade, but not all that comfortable as it's quite drying. It's tolerable with a balm or primer underneath, but I have so many others that are day-long hydrating, so I may not keep this ...
4. Bourjois Rouge Edition - Brun Boheme. This won my heart last autumn - not red, not orange, not brown, but a combo of all three to make a fabulously bricky hue that I can wear with both warm and cool colours (it's totally gorgeous with icy greys) ♥♥♥...
5. Lip Monthly Lipstick - 02. Close to being my favourite autumnal orange (as opposed to a summery neon orange). I have a couple of lippies that are quite a unique shade, and this is one of them. Lovely and moist too ♥♥♥...
6. Nutrimetics Hydra Brilliance - Pecan. Don't think there's a Nutrimetics lipstick that I haven't loved - they sure do know how to put together great formulas with stunning shades. I'll be rocking this one all through the warm weather ♥♥♥...
7. Lacura Beauty Lipstick - Chief. Hard to fault Aldi lipsticks, although their colour range is usually limited to only three or five choices, but what they do come out with are invariably awesome and terrific value ♥♥♥ ...
8. DB Cosmetics Moisturising Lipstick - Red Hot Red. I need to update my DB lip collection as these are getting a bit old now, although they're still viable, comfortable and don't smell or taste weird. But I think I've had them for five years so it's time. This is a beaut neutral red that would suit most skin tones, so I hope it's still available ♥♥♥...
9. Maybelline ColorSensational Matte - Divine Wine. Tolerable matte formula, mainly because the colour is truly divine. I mean this is vamp in a tube hey ♥♥♥...
10. Lacura Beauty Mineral Lipstick - After Dark. Another beauty from Aldi - sadly a special edition, such a juicy berry, amazing formula and the rose gold packaging is luxe ♥♥♥...
11. Nutrimetics Silks Creme Lipstick - Plum. I've worn this so many times I'm half-way down the bullet in less than six months. I'm definitely a plum all year round gal, and this one is a stunner ♥♥♥...
12. NYX Cosmic Metals - Fuchsia Fusion. The hottest, sassiest, pinkest pink in my collection. NYX please bring these back! ♥♥♥...
Take care of you,

Ive been wearing a pinkish nude shade a bit lately also. Love that Coral Silk shade.
ReplyDeleteI love Summer its awesome being able to have all the doors and windows open and allowing the house to breathe.
I agree entirely Fawn - not having to wear a coat each morning is enough to get me grinning, but a fresh breeze that doesn't include icy tentacles is pure joy ♥
DeleteAll look fabulous on you Kats. I do think I might have to give that nbn natural a go for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a lovely shade - I don't wear a lot of nudes as they're often quite dreary and make me look ill, but this one is spesh ♥
DeleteGreat selection , Kats.Summer is here , bring the colour in :-)
ReplyDeleteOooh yes Raluca, I'll be digging some bright shades out of the warm weather closet, and giving the dark hues the flick, same for the lippies ♥
DeleteI'm keen on the Lacura lippies from Aldi too. That Maybelline Matte IS vampy!
ReplyDeleteHey, Kats: did you know you've been sitting on 599 reviews on Bh for ages now? I've been waiting for you to hit 600. Mild OCD, can't help it, haha!
Bless you **misfortune8** - I owe bh a gazillion reviews, and your comment is just the poke I needed to make amends. I'll be clocking 600 shortly ha ha ♥
ReplyDeleteThe Lacura lip is surprisingly good. but I think my favourite would have to be the Nutrimetics in Pecan
ReplyDeleteIsn't it just the most fabulous colour Okatko? I do so love the Nutrimetics lippies - the formula is beautiful, and their shades are just that little bit different ♥
