The Lipstick Tag!

Lipsticks are definitely something I am very tentatively trying to get into, but am still struggling to be brave enough to wear! When I saw my friend Maxi over at The Lipstick Blog had made a lipstick tag and realised she had nearly 200(!!!!!) lipsticks, I realised I needed to catch up and get more into my lipsticks! Here are my answers to 'The Lipstick Tag' - hopefully I can look back in 6 months in horror at how few lipsticks I owned...

The LIPSTICK Tag!!

How many lipsticks do you own?

I own a grand total of 3, yes only 3, lipsticks! I absolutely love each of them!

As there are only 3 and a lip stainI have taken photos of them all.

Revlon 1000 Kisses - 700 Nothing But Nude

Lancome L'Absolu Nu - 302 Voile de Rose

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - 013 Smoked Peach Matte

L-R: Revlon, Lancome, Rimmel Lip Stain

YSL Rouge Pur Couture -09  Rose Stiletto

What was your first ever lipstick?

Definitely a bright postbox red I bought for Hallowe'en fancy dress a good few years ago!! My first serious lipstick was the YSL one pictured here - I ordered some other makeup from YSL and with each order they sent me one of these sample sized Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks and I am so glad I had two of them because I absolutely love it!

What is your most worn lipstick?

The Lancome one gets worn the most because it is suitable for daytime.

What is your favourite brand for lipstick?

It's a little hard for someone with so few lipsticks to have a favourite brand! The texture of the YSL lipstick is just so smooth, it looks fantastic and the colour lasts all day, so that is probably my favourite!

What is your favourite finish?

Now that it's summer and I have a bit more colour to my face I am loving the matte finish! I need to invest in some more mattes!

What was the last lip product you bought?

A bit of a cheat but it was Blistex when my lips were dry after I had been abroad.

How many lip products do you currently have in your handbag? (inc. balms and glosses)

Too many!! I think 5.

What lipstick do you use to rock a red lip?

A red lip is something I have always been waaaayy too scared to try out, but something I definitely plan to do in future! I am making a pledge here to buy a red lipstick on pay day and to persist with using it until I feel comfortable with it.

How do you store your lipsticks?

The advantage of only having a few is that they mostly live in my handbag and makeup bag depending on if they are being used that day.

What lip products are you currently lusting after?

As I just mentioned I'd quite like to find myself a good red lipstick, ideally with a satin finish - something like a YSL Rouge Pur Couture 01 - Le Rouge. I am also reallllyyy pining after a dark orange/coral colour for summer. Suggestions more than welcome!!
