Good morning loves.

I have so many lip products in my collection it's honestly ridiculous. 
What can I say though?
Choosing a lip color is my favorite part of my daily routine. 

It took me a long time to hop on the Liquid Lipstick band wagon and I'll be honest as much as I like them it won't stop me from buying the original bullet lipsticks. As you can see I don't have very many but none the less I wanted to share my ever growing collection with you.

NYX Liquid Suede in "Stone Fox" 

This is the most recent addition to my liquid family. I saw this color everywhere when it first hit the scene. A unique gray shade with blue undertones. On my skin I'd say it leans more towards a khaki looking gray. I'm a sucker for a dark lip and this fits the bills perfectly. I never thought a gray could look so stunning.

Jeffree Star's "Blow Pony"

There is so much drama surrounding Jeffree at any given time but the color selection in his liquid lip collection is absolutely out of this world! These are quite expensive for a Canadian like myself but I would purchase more for the colors alone. Blow Pony is a gorgeous bright lavender, perfect for the summer.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lip in "Outlaw"

This red is S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. Kat's formula is very drying though I find which is unfortunate because I do love her liquid lipsticks.


Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick in "Soft Lilac"

A muted soft mauve color. This goes well with a lot of different looks making it quite versatile. I'd love to try more of the ABH liquid lipsticks as I've been really into her brand lately. Not to mention all the new releases about to launch, hello Subculture!

Maybelline Color Jolt in "Never Bare"

When I purchased this I had no idea it was an exact color dupe for the Too Faced Melted Lip in Melted Peony so now I have two of the same color. It's not a bad thing though because it's a color I really like. The Maybelline Color Jolts are extremely similar to the Too Faced Melted Liquid Lips in packaging, application and formula. So if you're looking for a cheaper alternative I'd highly recommend checking them out!


Kat Von D "Lolita"

A cult classic. I wrote a whole post about this here.


ColourPop Ultra Matte in "Midi"

The Ultra Matte formula from ColourPop is so drying and it pils off my lips in little balls, not a flattering look. Unfortunately though I'm trying to make it work because I love this soft pink nude. I wouldn't repurchase a ColourPop lippie in the ultra matte formula but would love to try their other formulas.


NYX Liquid Suede in "Oh, Put It On"

A deep purple, so deep it almost looks black. Another dark intimidating color, my favorite. I've yet to actually wear this. Like it's counterpart Stone Fox it was purchased at the same time and I just haven't had the chance to test it.

ColourPop Ultra Satin Lip in "Screenshot"

A lovely deep peach. The satin formula is much nicer on the lips than the ultra mattes.  The peach trend this year has really blown up and I'm not complaining.


Too Faced "Melted Peony"

Like I said before the color jolt is a dead on dupe and I love both.

Kat Von D "Mother"
A bright rose pink. Simple with a twist. Not my favorite color but I'll use it up one of these days.


There we have it, my liquid lipstick collection.

What's your favorite liquid lipstick?

NYX Wishlist

NYX

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share my NYX wishlist. Believe it or not I've yet to try one single NYX product,
Why?
Well, I live in a fairly small town where it's not easily accessible and I've been trying to limit the online shopping I do. I've heard such wonderful things about the brand from various bloggers/Youtubers and would love to get my hands on some of the products above to see if the brand truly lives up to it's hype.

Sweet Cheeks Blush Palette: Retailing at $27 CAD for eight blushes! That's a wicked deal. This was featured in many Youtubers favorites within the past couple of months which has me itching to pick it up. I love that the palette has a range from oranges to pinks, this would work year round and give you enough blush for years to come!

Highlight & Contour Pro Palette - I currently use the Kat Von D Shade & Light palette to contour and when I first wrote a review on it I did quite like using it but after more use my opinion has changed and for the price I truly think it could have been better. I've used other Kat Von D products and I feel like the Shade & Light wasn't up to par in terms of the quality I've come to expect from her brand. Again this retails for $27 CAD but for the amount of product it has, the price is fairly reasonable.

Dream Catcher Palette: Looking online, none of the dream catcher colours match this. So, I'm thinking maybe this one is no longer carried but I would still be open to grabbing one of the others as they all look beautiful! This retails for $18 CAD.

Liquid Suede Liquid Lipsticks - In the shades Stone Fox {a very unique color} & Cherry Skies {you all know I love my reds} $10 CAD, which for a liquid lipstick is quite cheap! It's not Colourpop cheap but it's cheap.

Ombre Blush - I've never seen an ombre blush and I'm quite curious as how it would look applied!
$13 CAD

Lip Lingerie: All of these are in the nude range and as much as I love my bold colors I definitely need to start expanding into the nudes as I work daily in an office so the shades I always want to wear aren't always necessarily appropriate. ($9 CAD)

Makeup Setting Spray in Dewy - Another product I've never tried. (supposedly I'm a beauty blogger)
I've never found a primer that is my holy grail so I wonder if maybe a setting spray would work better to lock in my makeup. I chose dewy as I have very dry skin so anything matte just looks horrendous on me. ($10 CAD)

There you have it, some of the products I'd like to try from NYX to give myself an introduction to the brand.

What do you think of NYX?
