Lipstick - collection, swatches and Top 5


I've been wearing make up for a good 12 or 13 years, and it's only during the last 12 months or so that I've appreciated lipstick. Until then I used to prefer lipgloss and would always carry it with me in my pocket or bag. Now I've done a complete 180 and hardly ever wear gloss, but will always wear a lipstick. I have 26 lipsticks in total, which is not a lot compared to some, but is a bit excessive if you consider I've only been wearing them for a year!

Left to Right (all MAC) : Pure Rose, Creme d'Nude, Hue, Creme Cup, Angel, Snob, Cute-Ster, Lollipop Loving, Big Bow, Lavender Whip, Purple Rite, Pomposity, Gladiola and Kiss Manish. I used to have Viva Glam VI Special Edition, but my Mam borrowed it and never gave it back!



Left to Right : YSL Rouge Volupte 2 'Sensual Silk', Illamasqua 'Obey', GOSH 'Darling', Revlon 'Pink Pout', Barry M 53 'Coral', Barry M 113 'Sheer Pink', and Barry M 129 'Palest Lavender'.


Left to Right (all Maybelline Colour Sensational) - 112 'Ambre Rose', 240 'Galactic Mauve', 245 'Magic Mauve', 535 'Ruby Star', 605 'Precious Beige'.


Some swatches for you, though the nudey-pink MAC ones are awful, sorry!







And my Top 5 lipsticks, in no particular order:

MAC Pure Rose, Maybelline Ambre Rose, YSL Sensual Silk, MAC Creme Cup, MAC Creme d'Nude


As you can see I have a lot of love for nudes or pale pinks. I just feel more comfortable wearing those because I play up my eyes. Even in the daytime I wear loads of mascara, so I think a bold lip with dark eyes would draw too much attention to me. For daytime at least haha.

Do you think I'm missing some crucial lipsticks in my collection? Let me know in the comments x
