Hi my honeybears!
Long time, no see! So, if you follow me on Twitter, you will have seen that I have just finished and PASSED all my first year Veterinary Nursing exams so I am officially half way to being a qualified veterinary nurse! So exciting! You will have also seen on Twitter, or in a previous post, that I am due to have surgery tomorrow which I am now a bit nervous for *sad face*.
Anyway, I decided that, since I have loads of them, that I would do a little post on lipsticks. I'm not going to go into loads of details about each one but I will be picking my best and worst. With lipstick, it's completely to do with how it suits your skin tone and whatnot.
Lets crack on!
I have just remembered that I have a Dolce and Gabbana purple lipstick as well but as I'm not a purple lipstick kinda gal, I'm giving it to a friend.
Nudes
Plus points; it's super creamy, very moisturising.
Minus points; it only suits me with a tan, otherwise it looks a touch too orangey.
Dolce and Gabbana Classic in Cinnamon /49
This is my favourite nude lipstick right now. I can't find it anywhere online which makes me fear it's been renamed or discontinued. I got this and the other 2 D&G lipsticks from my brother as he works in P&G who make TONNES of cosmetics and other wonderful stuff. It's so moisturising and the colour is such a perfect nude on my lips that it doesn't look like concealer. If you can get your hands on it, I highly recommend you invest it in.
Plus points; it's very nude (I wear it with my MAC lipstick on top) Minus points; too much and it looks like concealer
This looks so much like concealer when on that I just save it for any future fancy dress. It has earned a spot on my worst list. It's super drying too.
Currently not in stock. It's a touch too orange for my skin but otherwise, it's a lovely lipstick.
Pinks
This is too pale for me so another for the fancy dress box. Also, very drying.
This is my favourite, favourite, favourite pink lipstick! I love matte finishes and the colour is so pale, it is perfect for daytime wear.
I'm only going to briefly mention this because I don't think it's made anymore.
It doesn't give much colour, just a bit of sparkle.
Bourjois Sweet Kiss
Plus points; it's lovely and girly. Very moisturising. Very pink
Minus points; It can be very Barbie to some people.
I really love this. It's super moisturising and cute. I love the fact it's like a chubby pencil, so easy to handle. There's a lovely selection of colours too so I really suggest you all buy at least one!
I dwell on this too much either as it no longer appears to be on sale. I'm neutral about this. It does change to suit your colouring but the end colour is so muted, it doesn't even look like you've got any on so it's a slight waste.
Dolce and Gabbana Classic lipstick in Shocking 290. This is superly duperly pink and shiny! I feel like a magpie at how happy I am about this. This could only be worn when you want to make a serious impact. Not for the faint of heart.
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE LIPSTICK EVER! Sorry, capslock crazy. But seriously, I love this lipstick. It smells fantastic, it looks fantastic. There's no drag, no drying, it's simply glorious. I need all the Soap and Glory cosmetics if they're all as amazing as this little beauty. Don't be afraid to try them just because they mainly do bath/shower/body products.
Reds
This is such a lovely dark pinky colour. It doesn't drag, goes on smooth as can be. I love most Rimmel lipsticks so I will just rave on and on about them. I don't wear this much because I prefer dramatic eyes but I do this it's a gorgeous colour.
I collect red lipsticks *blushes* I'm a bad Josie. I haven't quite found the perfect red for me but I do like this one. It's not quite the classic red red but it's still very pretty. It's really good value which is my main plus point. I don't have any particular minuses, I just don't do reds since they're hard to match.
I do like this 'Bright pinkish coral matte' lipstick. It's worth the money but I'd personally save it for special occasions. I have actually snapped mine in half *waaaah* so if anyone has any fail safe tips for fixing it, they are more than welcome and then I will do another review involving my poor, little lipstick.
D&G Classic Lipstick in Iconic
I think this is definitely my favourite red lipstick so far. It's a very true red and make me feel like Marilyn Monroe when I tried it on. It's so silky and have a lovely skin on it. It makes me feel so sexy even though I was just in my trackies, hehe.
Sorry that I've not gone into details about all of the lipsticks but we could have been on forever. A lot of the lipsticks are very similar such as the Rimmel lipsticks are all very much the same when it comes to texture.
What's your favourite lipstick? Or are you more of an eye makeup kinda gals?
