Don't you just love September? It's quite possibly my favourite month of the year and always lifts my spirits. And how could it not considering it heralds the start of spring - a bevvy of blossoms and new growth in the garden, longer daylight hours, not so chilly nights and mornings, and not to forget, it's Liptember month. Every year various organisations & individuals contribute to the Liptember campaign to raise awareness of women's mental health. Chemist Warehouse is the major partner and they always have a stand at their checkout counters displaying colourful lipsticks for $5, made by W7 cosmetics. I buy these every year as they're a creamy and moist formula, the colours are so cheerful, and I'm keen to support a great cause...
There are six in the set, but I didn't buy the blue and the green - truly, apart from Halloween (will there be one this year?) I'd never wear them, but here are the other four gorgeous and totally wearable colours...
Cin Cin
Palest pastel pink and the sheerest of the set - needs to be reapplied often as it wears off quickly, but what a heavenly spring shade this is, blossoms all the way ♥...
Neon Purple
Adore this royal colour - so vibrant and lush, and it covers my freckles with a couple of swipes ♥...
Fluorescent Orange
One of the few yellowy oranges in my kit, and it goes on easily with barely any streaks ♥...
Devils Darling
I've saved the best till last - fire engines, eat your heart out! One of the best $5 reds of all time ♥...
Well worth a trip to Chemist Warehouse hey lovelies?
Take care of you, and keep safe,

P.S. In case you're wondering why I haven't been posting my usual social media photo frenzy, I've been blocked on Instagram for over two weeks, and there's no end in sight and no explanation. Can't like anything, can't comment. Will just have to ride it out and cross my fingers they let me back in :-(
That sucks with Instagram Kats, I was wondering why you haven't been posting, I hope you get let back in. Makes you wonder if someone made a complaint? I can still see your page on there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy - I can't imagine anyone complaining about me lol! Best guess is that I liked too many posts in a set period of time - it's the first time I've been blocked since I joined 6 years ago ♥
DeleteI purchased a Liptember box and the lip colour I received in the box was green. Sadly its not a useable shade at all but will be kept in the draw incase I ever need it for a fancy dress party or perhaps if I some how end up at the cricket. :D
ReplyDeletehhmm....not good re Instagram.....is there anyway to contact them and ask whats going on?
Failing all else i guess you could open another account. Annoying but in desperate times.
I missed out on the Liptember box - I usually get my order in nice and early but it's been out of stock for weeks and I doubt there'll be any more now boo! As for Insta there are various ways to message them and I've done them all multiple times, but I've read they don't usually respond. Fingers crossed it's only a month ban ♥
DeleteBeing new to Instagram I wasn't aware you havent been posting as much. So, someone's got their knickers in a twist or they've barked up the wrong tree. Its a shame you cant get an explanation so that you can provide an explanation.
ReplyDeleteI would have to see Devils Darling is my favourite.
Yeah it's all a bit of a mystery Okatko - I deliberately only follow a small number of accounts so that I can support them, but I'll probably never know what I did to upset the management team. That DD is a total darling hey ♥
DeleteThe red looks gorgeous , love it. I bought the Liptember bag and I got the yellow lipstick . Not sure exactly where to wear that colour :-)
ReplyDeleteGood your Instagram ban will end soon and you will be able to post more beautiful photos.
Take care xo
Hmmm yellow - you could mix it with a red to make a pretty orange. I have a gold lipstick that I apply over the top of some of my browns and reddish oranges to make them just the right shade ♥ And yes I've been saving up quite a few pics to upload once I'm out of Instagram jail lol ♥
