Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick.

Hey Guys,

 

I've been searching for a liquid lipstick available in the UK for ages now. I really want to try the Anastasia ones but with shipping and export fee's it's just not worth it.

 

So I was browsing the Marks & Spencer's website and I noticed they sold Stila. They have a selection of 10 shades and the colour I most wanted to try 'Patina' was sold out so I wanted the next best thing which in my opinion was Bellissima. However, I wanted to see them in store first to swatch them as I know most lip products aren't always how they look online or in the tube.

I'm so glad that I did because there are certain shades that I thought I would like and actually didn't.

 

 

Patina was sold out in store too so I picked up Bellissima. The colour is like a pinky coral. If I wear this with a lip liner its not as 'In your face!' as I don't really like coral on me.

 

 

The consistency is so so creamy and it's really easy to apply. It dries pretty quickly so you have to work quite fast and the finish is matte.

 

If you don't like really dry matte textures I wouldn't recommend this product at all!

 

They come in at £15.00 each which is quite pricey but if you're looking for a matte liquid lipstick then I think these are pretty nice. I definitely want to pick up some more colours!

 

 

I would say they last a good 5/6 hours and they stay on after eating and drinking. You may need to retouch a tiny bit but they have good staying power.

 

Do you know of any liquid lipsticks I can try out?

Lime Crime Coquette.

Hello friends, 

At the beginning of March I decided to try out the brand Lime Crime. I'd heard so many good things about their lipsticks from other bloggers so I thought I'd give one a try! I got the lipstick in the shade Coquette. It's one of there more wearable shades of the range! 

They are a bit cheaper than Mac at around £12.50 (still not cheap) and the packaging is really bomb! ;-)

 

Lime Crime prides themselves on the premise that their products are cruelty free and vegan friendly. They have a wild variety of shades from bright yellow to black lip shades! They also do other makeup products like eyeshadow and pigments.

 

I'm not the type of person that can pull off wacky shades so i do tend to stick to my comfort zones when it comes to lips! (Nude, nude, nude) 

Even a red can look too OUT there on me sometimes! 

In the tube it appears quite orange but on the lips its more of a muted coraly nude and it's gorgeous!! The formula is very thick and opaque, definitely a matte/satin finish and can look quite drying if you've got dry lips so exfoliating is key!

I really love this lipstick and I'm so glad I bought it! I can't wait to collect more of them! 

I bought it from a website called Love makeup and this guy was hard to get hold of! 

What shade should I try next?
