Lip Product Addict Tag

Hi Ladies!
Happy 4th of July! We are getting a bunch of rain today due to Hurricane Arthur so all of our holiday plans have been postponed until tomorrow. Bummer...but since I'm rained in, I figured I would do some cleaning and share a recent tag that I did.

The beautiful Sissi from Beauty4Free2U tagged me to do the Lip Product Addict Tag. Since lip products are one of my favorite beauty products, I figured I had to do this. Make sure you check Sissi's picks HERE.

Tag Questions:

1. Favorite balm/treatment? Nivea Kiss of Smoothness Hydrating Lip Care

I almost always use this lip balm before apply any lip products when I am getting ready in the morning. It has no scent and makes you lips feel soft and smooth. I use a bunch of different clear lip balms and this is my favorite of them all.

2. Best eye catching red? Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Big Bang

I recently did a review of this lip lacquer HERE. I have a few reds that I really like but this is my favorite red. It has a blue tone to it and looks good with my skin tone. I love how it dries to a beauty matte finish. Other reds I like are Russian Red by MAC and Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencil in Cranberry.

3. Best luxury and best drugstore? Bite Beauty and Nyx Butter Lipstick

Bite Beauty is becoming my favorite high end/luxury lip brand. My favorite high end color would be Bite Beauty Creme Lipstick in Violet.  The color is super creamy and pigmented and stays in place for several hours. It leaves a nice stain one it fades. If you apply a little lip balm you can refresh the color. My favorite drug store lip brand is Nyx Butter Lipsticks. They are very moisturizing for a lipstick but have great color pay off as well. You don't usually see both of these in a lipstick.

4. Best MAC Lipstick? Rebel

I really love this color. Its very similar to Nyx's Butter Lipstick in Hunk but it is a bit more purple and opaque. I think its edgy yet wearable. It can look more like a pinkish purple if you apply it lightly.

5. Most disappointing? MAC Viva Glam Gaga 2

I thought that this color looked so beautiful in the ads that I saw when it first came out. I bought both and was really disappointed with how it looked on my personally. It is too light for me and washes me out. It also looks like I am wearing concealer on my lips. I'm just not a fan of this color.

6. Liner- yes or no? YES

I don't always wear a lip liner. However, if I am trying to achieve a certain look or am wearing a dark color, I will use a liner. I feel like you can really create a nice shape with liners and you can even make your lips look a little larger (I am working on this). Clear liners do an excellent job at preventing colors from bleeding past your lips. The liners I wear the most are MAC Whirl, Rimmel Moisture Renew clear liner, Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in Red Diva and East End Snob. 

7. Best gloss? Nyx Mega Shine Lip Gloss

I don't wear lip gloss as often as I wear lipstick. One of my favorite drugstore brand lip glosses are the Nyx Megashine Lip Glosses. They are more pigmented than the Butter Glosses but are a little bit more sticky. Nothing too sticky though. My favorite colors are Beige, Natural, and Dolly (above). My favorite high end lip glosses are MAC Tinted Lipglasses.

8. Something extra? Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquers and Bite Beauty High Pigment Pencils

 I really love these lip lacquers. They apply very easily and even and come in an array of colors and finishes. They have both shimmery shades and matte shades.  Shown above (Luna, Celestial, Stellar, and Big Bang).

The Bite Beauty High Pigment Lip Pencils are what first turned me on to the brand. I was so impressed with the pigmentation and beautiful colors. I can't wait to buy more products from Bite Beauty.

I hope that you enjoyed reading about my favorite lip products. Let me know if you want me to do a full review of any of these lip products!
