So recently I've been feeling a bit spendy, and may have accidentally made a few purchases, oops. I haven't been much of a lipstick wearer in the past, but I've recently been wanting to get into it more and dabble in some fun colours for summer.
My first purchase was inspired by Anna from Vivianna Does Makeup, who loves this lipstick I absolutely adored it every time I saw her wear it in a video. It is of course; MAC Patisserie. For me this is the perfect everyday nude/natural shade, which is almost identical to my natural lip colour, and helps to even out the tone and add a bit of shine. The colour payoff is quite sheer but that makes the lipstick so wearable, and is a lustre finish.
Next up is one that I have been dying to get my hands on ever since the 'Playland' collection's visual was released in America so many months ago. Toying Around, again from MAC, is a gorgeous vivid pinky-coral colour which is wonderfully opaque and glides onto the lips. Being an amplified finish the colour is very intense and is easily the brightest lipstick in my collection!
Last but not least is my first proper 'high-end' lipstick, which my lovely Dad bought for me. Yves Saint Laurent's Rouge Volupte Shine in Corail Intuitive 15 (quite the mouthful) is my first YSL product and I couldn't be more in love with it! It's a beautiful, sheer peachy coral with a gorgeous glossy finish that just looks amazing with every look I have worn it will so far. When paired with a similar coloured lipliner (I use Sleek's eau la la liner in Melba) it creates a much more opaque, intense look which is just as pretty.
L-R: MAC Patisserie, MAC Toying Around (LE) and YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in Corial Intuitive
Okay we can all agree I suck at swatches, sorry about that guys.
