Hello everybody! As you can probably tell by the title of this post, I'm gonna be talking all about LIPS! I am absolutely obsessed with lippies, which actually made planning this post really hard because I couldn't decide on my favourites and which ones to feature. Because honestly, if I really did talk about all my favourites, this post would go on forever. I chose some of my favourites and the ones that I wear the most often and categorised them. I tried my best to do a mixture of high end and lower end lip products. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
BOLD & BEAUTIFUL
So these are the lippies that I'd usually reach for when I'm feeling a bit adventurous or feeling like trying something out of my comfort zone. I usually wear these and test them out when I'm out with my family or doing errands so that I can get a feel of them before I wear them out with friends or something.
Top to bottom: Silkygirl Moisture Boost [Wine], Innoxa Lipstick [Pink Carnation], Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick [Berry Couture], Loreal Infallible Lipstick [Forever Fuchsia]
Bottom to top : Wine, Pink Carnation, Berry Couture, Forever Fuchsia
Silkygirl Moisture Boost Stick [Wine]: I purchased this from Malaysia a while back because I was looking for a cheap lippy to last me the trip, they were so amazing that I bought one in nearly every single colour. It was amazing how cheap it was (RM13) (AU$4) due to the fact that the quality and staying power of these are AMAZING. I think this wine colour is a really gorgeous colour especially in winter yet it's not too dark so I can usually get away with wearing it in summer too.
Innoxa Lipstick [Pink Carnation]: I got this sent to me by Innoxa about a week ago and when I first saw it I never thought that I would have liked it. I don't own anything like this in my collection due to the fact that I always thought that it would never suit my skin tone and it was way too baby pinkish for me. However, the other day I thought I would play around with a really sculpted and bronzed face along with a subtle smokey eye and this on my lips. I fell in love with the texture and how plump it made my lips look. I also think this would look really gorgeous on any blondies out there!
It's actually on sale at priceline now for AU$10 so go check it out!
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick [Berry Couture]: I've always wanted to try a really dark purple lippy, but I thought I would start off with a subtle Berry colour. The photo above with the swatch doesn't really do it justice, it's much more purple when applied to the lips. I think it's a lovely colour for any skin tone really, it's not too crazy yet it's a good way to ease into wearing purple lippies. It retails for AU$21.95 at Priceline [LINK]
Loreal Infallible Lipstick [Forever Fuchsia]: I received this as a birthday present by my friend Brian [THANKS B!] He thought that I totally hated it but I tried it on when I got home and I thought that the colour was so stunning. This is the perfect night colour and I also like wearing this when I'm wearing all black. I love the way it gives a pop of colour and really compliments my new hair. I actually couldn't find it on Priceline's online store so I'm assuming that Loreal may have discontinued this edition.
"NAKED LIPS"
I only have about 5 nude hippies in my collection but these are two of my favourite, both high end and drugstore.
Top to Bottom: Benecos Lipstick [Pink Honey] , NARS Lipstick [Catfight]

Benecos Lipstick [Pink Honey]: HANDS DOWN MY FAVOURITE LIPSTICK! I got this pretty recently and I've pretty much been wearing it for the whole holidays. It looks so pretty on the lips and it's so perfect for an everyday look. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who's looking for the perfect everyday lipstick. I got mine from Natures Health Box and it retails for 7 pounds since its a UK site. [LINK]
NARS Lipstick [Catfight]:I've already talked about this lipstick quite a lot. If you want to know more about it you can check out my post on "The Best Of NARS" But I think it's a really pretty colour and it's a nice matte finish too.

"ALL DAY, EVERYDAY"
My favourite everyday lippies!
Top to Bottom: Silkygirl Moisture Boost Stick [Latte], M.A.C Lustre [Lovelorn], Essence Lipstick [Natural Beauty], Lavera Lipstick [Rosewood Dream].
Left to right: Silkygirl Moisture Boost Stick [Latte], M.A.C Lustre [Lovelorn], Essence Lipstick [Natural Beauty], Lavera Lipstick [Rosewood Dream].
Silkyirl Moisture Boost Stick [Latte]: This was the first of the range that I bought when I was in Malaysia and it was the reason that I went back to the drugstore and bought the rest of them. As you can probably tell, my everyday lipsticks usually have a pinkish tone to them and aren't too crazy. I guess you could say that this is a "MLBB" kinda lippy.
M.A.C Lustre Finish Lipstick [Lovelorn]: I bought this at the start of the year, it was definitely one of my first lipsticks, I fell in love with how easy it was to wear and how well it complimented my skin tone. I included this in the collection as a higher end option for those who like the brand name.
Essence Lipstick [Natural Beauty]: Before I say anything else, I just have to let you know that this only retails for AU$5 at priceline! INSANE. It always amazes me when I see how affordable the products from Essence are. I also bought this when Priceline was having their 40% off sale which made it pretty damn dirt cheap. I think it totally goes with the name that it's given. It's so natural and beautiful on the lips and I love putting this in my handbag to go as I have a few of these so I don't really mind if it melts or gets crushed.
LIPCARE FAVES!
Taking care of your lips are so important! As fun as it is to play around with lippies and colours, there's nothing worse than product on dry, cracked lips. It's so important to make sure that your lips are moisturised and exfoliated so that the product goes on beautifully.
Lipice Lipbalm: I believe that these are only sold in Malaysian pharmacies. I have this in the Strawberry flavour and I love it! Every time I go back to Malaysia, I purchase a tonne of these bad boys. The amazing thing about them is the tingling ice sensation that it leaves on your lips. I throw these in my handbag and usually use them when I'm out, not when I'm home.
EOS Lipbalm [Mint]: I'm a really big fan of EOS Lipbalms, I remember how excited I was when I received my first one when my best friend went to America a few years ago. However, I was amazed when I received this from my brother's girlfriend when she got back from America. I always get really excited when I get to try things that aren't available in Australia and I also hadn't ever tried the Mint one. I love the taste and feel that it leaves, it's so fresh and minty! Definitely another one of my handbag / to - go lip care product.
Vaseline: Basic, but essential. Like I said, I don't like using lip balms when I'm home because I find that intensive care prodcuts like vaseline and paw paw are much more effective. I love popping this on right before I sleep and waking up with hydrated and plump lips. You can grab this at any supermarket or pharmacy.
Nude By Nature PAWPAW Ointment: This is AMAZING. When I first got this, I thought it was going to be like the usual pawpaw products that you see in pharmacies like Lucas PawPaw ointment. But the product comes out as a translucent moisturising liquid. I usually put this on right before I start doing my makeup and by the time I get around to putting my LOTD on, my lips are primed and ready. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone and it's the perfect gift too. I believe that you can find this at Priceline but I can't seem to find the link to it online. But I suggest going in store and checking it out!
WOW! That was a long post. Some of you probably think I'm insane due to the amount of lippies and lip care products that I use. But hey, lips are important okay! I really hope this post was helpful and I hope that you guys liked it. Next up will be another #COUNTDOWNTO2015 post very soon. I can't wait to write that. Hope you're all having an exciting Christmas holiday and get excited for what 2015 has prepared for you!
LOVE YOU ALL!
