SOAP et le lips | My current Favourite Lip Products
This post is going to be divided into - Lip Sticks/Colour and Lip balms. I love lip products, and have started to develop a little collection, so I thought it would be a good time to post some of my current favourites!
Favourite Lipsticks/Colours
L-R: Revlon Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 107; Topshop Lips in Rumour Has It; Poppy King for No7 Lipstick in No.5 Intrigue; Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 001 Honey.
Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in 107
This lipstick was an impulse buy a couple of weeks ago. I was in my local tiny Boots, I needed a new cleanser and a new top coat and EVERYTHING was (and still is!) on 3 for 2, so I turned around, saw the Rimmel stand and grabbed it before I could think twice. And I am so glad i did! It's a beautiful dark, almost wine red, which is a colour I would not usually go for (as you can see from the other 3 products). To my surprise this colour really compliments my skin tone and colouring, the formula is great, it's really long-wearing, it doesn't smudge easily and it doesn't dry the lips out. Perf. This lipstick is £5.49 and available from Boots.
Poppy King for No7 Lipstick in No.5 Intrigue
This lipstick was another 3 for 2 bargain from Boots a few months ago. This is in my favourites because the colour is almost identical to my natural lip colour, so it's great for daytime because it just gives my lips a little extra oomph. However, it doesn't last very long and, compared to the other products in the line up, you don't get very much product for your money. It's quite sheer, though I don't mind too much as I only tend to wear this lipstick during the day. This lipstick is £10.95, it's currently unavailable on the Boots website.
Topshop Lips in Rumour Has It
I really enjoy wearing this Topshop lipstick. The formula is quite creamy and doesn't dry my lips out. It's not the most long-wearing lipstick, though it's easy to apply so i don't mind that too much. I wanted a brown toned neutral colour when I bought this, which was towards the end of the summer when I still had a decent tan. I don't wear this colour as much now, but I still love how it looks with a simple lined eye on a night out. This lipstick is £8 and available from Topshop.
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in 001 Honey
I talked about this in my previous post, so I won't ramble on about how much I love this, again.
Favourite Lip Balms
L-R: Cath Kidston Almond Lip Balm; Nivea Pure & Natural Milk & Honey Lip Balm; JASON Lips Bee Healthier Natural Lip Balm.
I absolutely love lip balms. I usually have about 2 or 3 on the go and loads of others running around. These are my three current favourites of the lot.
Cath Kidston Almond Lip Balm
Let me be clear, the main reasons I like this lip balm is because it's Cath Kidston, it smells devine, and a good friend of mine gave it to me for my birthday with a few other Cath Kidston treats. It's not the best lip balm in the world, it doesn't last on the lips very long, and I for one HATE lip balms in tins (don't like greasy fingers - ew) but, like I said earlier, the almondy smell/taste is just incredible. This lip balm is £5 and you can get it from Amazon.
Nivea Pure and Natural Milk and Honey Lip Balm
I stumbled upon this lip balm when I was pulling my hair out in Boots one day as they didn't have my all time favourite lip balm (Vaseline cocoa butter - in a tube, hate the tins) and I desperately needed something to keep me going. I'm so glad I picked this up, it's a really nourishing lip balm and it makes the lips feel instantly moisturised. It smells quite sweet and worked wonders on my lips. I don't use it as much now I've got my Jason lip balm, but I still carry it around with me just in case. This fabulous lip balm is only £1.99 and you can get it from Boots, though I get it from my local Sainsbury's.
JASON Lips Bee Healthier Natural Bees Wax Lip Balm
I got this lip balm in this month's Joliebox, I won't talk too much about it here as I spoke about it in my last post. I love it. Done!
So those are my favourite lip products at the moment. What are your favourites?
