Lipstick Week – Introduction
The next seven posts are going to be about lipsticks! I got tagged by Carina from Softly Sometimes, her lipstick swatches make me want all the colours and I immediately pulled out my reds and vamps. I am still looking for my perfect nude (will be discussed later this week) and the perfect baby pink lipstick.
Browsing through my old posts made me realize, that I am quite shade limited, a lot of reds and vamps, berry lipsticks. I can’t help myslef, I just love those colours. More though, I find it hard to pick a pink or nude-ish shade for myselft but I like it on others. Maybe I am just used to wear red, etc. that I find it odd looking on me.
My lips have recovered from very dry to dry (yay?), thanks to my religious everyday treatment – eye cream. No lipbalm or self declarated lip-blah-blah helped. I had my no shimmer on my lips phase, which is over since my lips aren’t as dry anymore (I find shimmer and sparkles drying).
Day 1 and day 7 are going to be about reds, because (as I said … like 100 times) this is my favourite colour. What to expect:
Day 1: orange-red
Day 2: orange coral
Day 3: the perfect nude
Day 4: café au lait
Day 5: vamp
Day 6: brick-red
Day 7: true red
Stay tuned and I am on lipstick week now! This is also a good reason to finally swatch and talk about lipsticks that are sitting in my drawer for ages. xxx
This is going to be interesting 🙂 I was intrigued when you said you used eye cream on your lips! I’ve been having some unusual trouble with my lips too – do you just use any eye cream or a specific one?
Hi Paris, I love talking about lipsticks, so gald I got tagged, haha. I use either my sisleya eye cream or shiseido, both work very well for me and I see a major difference in my lip condition. I already used up my Bobbi Brown eye cream, fail on my eyes but works great as a lip treatment xxx
Eee… I can’t wait to see what you have in store 🙂
Thanks Lily 🙂 Hope you will enjoy my lipstick week xxx
Ooh I’m excited to see your stash 🙂
So many lipsticks to talk about 🙂 Excited to do all the swatches xxx
Sweet!
Thank you Tracy ❤
I can’t wait to see all those pretty reds on you Claire!
My lipstick stash is dominated by reds for sure, I just love this colour 🙂
How exciting! Can’t wait to see the swatches! I’m all ears (or eyes) 🙂
Hi Donah, thank you for stopping by and commenting 🙂 Be prepared for a lot of red lipsticks xxx
Yay for lipstick week! I look forward to it. Carina makes me want every lipstick she wears as well, that girl is trouble. So many chap sticks and lip balms can make lips so much worse, I find the best is an all-natural slick balm or Vaseline, and never lick 🙂
She is amazing, I love her swatches and pictures >.< I stopped using chapsticks in general, eye cream and Fresh lip balms are the way to go for me xxx
Ooh pretty picture, Claire! I can’t wait to see more 😀
Thank you Becca 🙂 Was fun preparing this picture, haha. xxx
Claire! I cant wait to see your picks! 🙂 Reds aren’t my forte so it’ll be interesting to see the different shades of this beautiful color!
