I've been neglecting my lip products for a while. Not intentionally, I've just been slicking on some lip balm as I'm running through the door. These last couple of weeks I've been making more of an effort, and I've found myself reaching for the same few lipsticks. In no particular order, my favourite lipsticks at the moment:
NYX Lipstick - Summer Love
A nude with brown/beige undertones, so it stops me looking washed out. It's also great when I've used bronzer as 'regular' nude colours are so pale and pink that they look like concealer. It's a semi-matte finish, so it's not the glossiest or most moisturising lipstick I own. I pair it with a lipgloss to counteract that though.

YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick - Lingerie Pink
I <3 YSL Rouge Voluptes, and this colour is just gorgeous. It's a bright, vivid pink akin to MAC's Viva Glam Gaga, but is a much better formula. Fabulous way of having statement lips without being OTT. It's opaque with just one swipe, so although it isn't sheer, it is buildable to get a bolder look.

MAC Lipstick - Gotta Dash
My newest addition to my collection and it is an uber glossy coral colour. I love wearing this when I want my lips to be the focus but want something a little bit different to red or pink. I also like this because I love wearing peachy coloured blush, so they compliment each other perfectly.
MAC Lipstick - Angel
Old faithful and popular colour, Angel. It's a muted pink colour, so will go with a whole array of looks. It is a frost, which I used to hate, but the more I wear it the more I fall in love with this lipstick. I used to prefer Creme Cup (also from MAC) as the colour was identical but the creamsheen finish was better. Well, I've changed my mind and prefer this one. The frost finish adds a lovely sheen and because it isn't super glossy or shiny, I find it to be longer lasting.

MAC Lipstick - Victorian
This was a limited edition colour and I just adore it. This is reserved for Summer only as it is so bright and gorgeous. It is a pink-coral with a golden shimmer. Another frost formula so lasts a while, even in the heat (not that we've had much heat), and the colour is just glorious next to bronzed, glowy skin.
