Lip Swatches: Pale Pink

| Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lipsticks Liv It Up, Electric Poppy Review Swatches |
Last Friday, I searched high and low for the new Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lipsticks. While limited testers were available to swatch at Selfridges, a kind MUA whispered and said the lipsticks were available to purchase from Fenwicks in New Bond Street and the flagship store in Covent Garden. Only 10 minutes walk from Selfridges, I landed in Fenwicks and I was greeted with the most friendly most helpful staff I have met in any high end beauty department.
A gorgeous tall blonde MUA came to my assistance as I swatched away at the individual lipsticks and instead of just purchasing 1 lipstick as I had planned, I left with two!

Now this was a pre-planned purchase. Finally a lipstick with my name on it that isn't too pale (Illamasqua!) nor too dark (NARS). Liv It Up is a nude pink with a creamy finish and a gentle pearl. It brightens up my NC30 complexion. Its the perfect colour for every day wear.

Now this I didn't expect to pick up. It is a bright coral red that brings out the natural pink ness of my cheeks. It is creamy modern matte and does have a bit of slip. I like dabbing on the lips and spreading with my finger to create a natural stain like finish. The colour is perfect for the summer and hence I ran with it!

Ccan I just talk about the edged tip of the lipstick bullet? It makes it so easy to define the lip line without requiring a pencil. Genius! However this edge does erode with use unfortunately. But its still a brilliant idea.

Here I have is MAC Altered Beige Lipstick from the MAC Temperature Rising Collection.
MAC describes this as a creamy yellow beige with a lustre finish. On my
lips, it translates as a glossy light pink beige. These types of shades
are best worn with dark smokey eyes as I feel the colour itself makes
me look a bit washed out. The lipstick lasts 2-3 hours, typical of MAC
lustre formulas, but if you're a shameless lipstick eater like myself it
might not last as long!

L'occitane Pivoine Delicate Lipstick, Fremissant Lipgloss, Pivoine Delicate Hand Cream
I've finally decided that I no longer like MAC's sticky standard lipgloss finish as the stickiness just drives my lips to flake! MAC Cremesheen glasses however - I love. So smooth and nonsticky, they look and feel creamy on the lips! After the gorgeous Muhsine at Bubblegarm blogged about how similar these Barry M lip gloss wands are to my favourite lipgloss finish, I was curious to try them out, and I definitely agree with her. I am hooked on these lipglosses, and they're deliciously scented too~! ♥

Lip Swatch of Bubblegum lipstick:
This is seriously one of my favourite lipsticks! I love the colour, love the sheen, and love the lustre formula! ♥ I've been using this quite a bit since I got it :)
