Valentines isn't all about kisses, snogs, making out...whatever you want to call it. But who says it can't be about celebrating those lovely lips of yours and making them stand out from the crowd. I could not live without lipstick and I am very rarely seen without a colourful lip companion in my handbag so I thought I would put together a lil su'in su'in and show you my favourite shades of red...perfect for this Valentine's.
Rimmel have stepped up a big notch in the last few years when it comes to affordable, accessible, drugstore makeup so how could I not put in their amazing Apocalips in (wait for the name) Big Bang. This is a great colour to achieve those perfect pin up style lips and it is s easy to glide on just like a lip gloss...EASY!
Next on my list is this gorgeous Ox Blood red from Revlon called Black Cherry and it is great for this wintery season. A twist on the vibrant red commonly on everything on Valentine's but if you're feeling vampy, why not mix it up a bit. You also don't have to worry to much about red wine stains...it blends right in :)
I know what you're saying..."is she colour blind? This isn't red!" BUT despite the purpley tone showing throw on the picture, this Kate Moss number 20 is a really bluey/pinky tone which reminds me of some gorgeous pink roses. A bit of a wild and daring shade but if it's good enough for Kate, it's good enough for me.
If you're more of a low key kinda gal, that doesn't mean you can't smack on some lippy every now and again and this Model Co in the shade Kitty is a nice little hand to hold to step into the world of colour. With the "your lips but better" slightly bitten shade, this lippy is fresh and really light and also enhances natural beauty your lips in a subtle yet beautiful way.
Last but not least is my dearest darling and that is NYX's Alabama. I am a huge fan of matte lipsticks but never really found out that didn't dry up my lips until this beauty came in to my life. Unfortunately it hasn't showed too much on my lil love letter there however, that just says it all, this lippy does not budge! And it is so creamy and moisturising, your lips feel as soft and as smooth as if you weren;t wearing anything. As you can see, my Alabama is looking a bit worse for wear but I put that down to being so loved. I must get my hands on another one of these very soon!
I hope you enjoyed a little look in to some of my favourite lipsticks for Valentine's Day, let me know if you have any lippy recommendations....can you tell I'm a bit obsessed?
Pucker Up and enjoy all those kisses coming your way
