I have been loving a bolder lip color this winter/spring. Normally I shy away from bold lips, unless it is red and even then only on special occasions. But truth me told I love bright lips or dark lips. I just normally shy away from it because I do not like to draw attention to myself. But this year is all about rediscovering myself and learning about what I really like.
So long I have spent worrying about what others think of me, but no more! And to kick start the bolder me I have a few shades here that just scream “A Bold New Me”.
-Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in the shade 215 Shameless----I have been wearing this on most days lately. Normally I pair it with a neutral eye just to tone down the amount of color on my face. Purple is my favorite color and this color does not disappoint. I love the matte finish and staying power. It has a pepperminty scent that is pleasing and not to overpowering.
-YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in the shade 16 Orange Impertinent----When I am not wearing Shameless I am wearing this orangey color. I am very pale and this color is one of the few orange toned colors I can pull off. The lipstick itself is very creamy and glossy. I usually blot my lips after applying and go (since I am more of a matte finish kind of girl). The color is rich and lasting as well and does not dry out my lips.
-NYX lipcolor in the shade Chaos---- This is more so a fall/winter color that I took with me into spring as well. I wear red lipstick all year around and this is one that I think would look great on any skin tone (my own is quite tricky so finding a red that really suits me is hard). It is very creamy and shinny and has amazing staying power for such a decently priced lipstick.
-Flower Lip Butter in the shade LB9 Wispy Wisteria---- I just purchased this today and was pleasantly surprised. It is not over the top and quite sheer, but on days where I want color but not COLOR it will be perfect. It is very smooth and hydrating on the lips as well.
-Rimmel Show Off in the shade 501 Stellar---- FINALLY. I have been waiting ages for this to hit the states and even longer for it to reach local stores. I finally found it at Walmart and snatched up this beautiful bright reddish pink with a hint of coral. Like all the beauty gurus have concluded this product rocks. The staying power, the pigment, the nondrying consistency. I love it. And plan on buying several more shades (sorry Babe).
Swatched on my pale skin: Shameless, Chaos, Stellar, Wispy Wisteria, and Orange Impertinent.
