Favourite Lipsticks (Bobbi Brown, YSL, Chanel, Clinique)

I was going through my make up stash today and throwing out some items which are way past their expiry date or which I simply no longer use, and it got me thinking.. Just how many lipsticks do I need?!

I have narrowed down my lippie stash to 5 lippies for every day wear, 1 classic red for when I'm out at night and a couple of balms.

If I get given any more as presents obviously I will happily add to my stash, but for now I'm making a promise to myself not to buy any more lipsticks until Christmas!

Here is my list: (Pics will be uploaded later).

Bobbi Brown - Lip Color Pale Mauve

A creamy texture, pale pink with slight blue undertones. It goes on very smoothly, and has lasting power of around 3-4 hours on me. This is a MLBB colour and is a perfect nudey pink, without any shimmer.

YSL Rouge Volupte - Peach Passion 

These are very comfortable lipsticks with such a lovely creamy texture. The Peach Passion is a peachy light coral with an opaque texture. The packaging is gorgeous, and lovely to pull out of your bag to touch up with!

YSL Rouge Volupte - Opera Rose

A medium pink with neutral undertones.They last around 2-3 hours on me, but I like the pop of colour to brighten up the face. 

Chanel Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lip Colour- Pirate 

This is my go-to fail safe red lipstick. It is a true deep jewel red with blue undertones. This flatters my skin colour, and glams up any outfit. The lipstick is incredibly long wearing and I tend to partner it with the lipliner for additional long wearing effect. I find this can last an incredible 6 hours without the need for touch ups.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - Boy

A very natural lipstick that adds a bit of glamour to my work day. It's another mauvey pink but with a small amount of shimmer in. It's got a lovely balm type texture.

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine - Monte Carlo

The same formula as Boy, but is a more pigmented colour. This is a semi-sheer pinked based red with a small amount of shimmer. 

Clinique Chubby Stick - Two-Ton Tomato and Oversized Orange 

Simple and easy to apply, flattering colours and easy to shove in the handbag for on the go application. The best thing about these is they look moisturising and shimmery but are not sticky in the slightest. Win!
