The Line-up

Hey guys! So mama is back home (still recovering …but everyday is a little better than the last right?) and I’m super happy! The hospital is not the most comfortable or pleasant environment to be in so at least now we can care for her here and she can feel more at ease and a little more relaxed…

Since I have been running around,getting things together, tidying up, getting food ready for tomorrow, running between hospitals, doctors apoitments, work etc… I haven't really have time to put MYSELF together (bad excuse I know…but in all fairness…I’m still sick :p) … I thought I would share my FAVOURITE lip colours with you! A few drugstore brand and some that are pricier … I will start by saying that yes….my collection of faves consists of some version of pink or nude… I will go through each from left to right….

OH and I will have pictures and hopefully a video of my new Alice in Wonderland Urban Decay book of Shadows… got my Sephora order in the mail =)

1. C-Thru lipglass by MAC ($16) – This is my staple gloss… I love layering it over pretty much any colour lipstick or if I am feeling lazy ..then all on its own

2. Revlon Matte lipstick in Nude Attitude ($8) – I bought this at Wal-Mart a little while ago …its cheap …a tad drying on the lips but nothing that a little Carmex and lipglass cant fix… It is a darker nude (compared to my Gosh lipstick on the far right for example…a tad orange I guess depending on your lip pigmentation/skin tone). I would re-purchase just because I think its a pretty good product for the price

3. Airy Fairy by Rimmel ($6) – I LOVE this colour …when I don't know what lip colour to wear, this is one that I reach for quite often …and the price ?! come on…no brainer….you have to check this out! Its a pinky nude colour (my two faves combined in one).

4. MAC Snob – I have been wearing this colour since J’s prom… so basically since I was 16 years old and one of my favourite pinks… I love this mixed with the C-Thru lipglass … going to repurchase soon =)

5. MAC Saint Germain (Limited Edition) – sorry, this one might be a bit tough to find because it is one of those LE shades…I hate when they do that :s… It can come out a little “porn-starish” so I use it sparingly… usually… unless I am going very easy on the eyes…i.e. Just mascara …then very light application… but I think it is a GORGEOUS pink

6. YSL Rouge Pure shine Lipstick spf 15 in #11 (I think.. the label is a bit faded) ($40) – Its a light pink with a tiny bit of shimmer – very smooth and moisturizing on the lips so I like that of course… I have had this since second year university (a few years now!) and it has lasted me QUITE some time…probably because I save it for occasions :p…well hey, I am spending $40 a pop for this baby… eek!

7. Smashbox in Pout ($25)- this is a VERY sheer pink so if you are looking for some shock factor…this might not be it.. but like my YSL it is very moisturizing…and probably something I would use for everyday (I guess you could layer it on for a bolder look)..I picked this up at Shoppers Drug Mart

8. GOSH cosmetics in Darling #134 ($16) – My FAVOURITE nude colour so far… I just recently discovered it at Shoppers Drug Mart …I’m sorry to my American readers but Gosh is only available in Canada and the UK I believe … if you are in Canada …check this out at Shoppers… but please, make sure you either exfoliate your lips or put some serious Vaseline on the night before because this will just enhance the flakes….yuck! BUT it just makes me work that much harder on keeping my puckers smooth …and the colour pay-off is awesome for me (I have really pigmented lips…and this one works for me)

Now that I have shared MY favourites….I would LOVE to know what your favourite is (if you wear lip-gloss/lipstick that is!)
