I want to say a huge thanks to the lovely Yuliya, you may know her as cutiegingerbread for giving me the idea for this post. I was actually about to do a look but she convinced me to do this instead! So here I am with my little army of pink lipsticks yay! Like most of us I have a lipstick addiction, in addition to many other make-up related addictions. I love my nudes but pinks (along with peaches/apricots) are my favorite during summertime! They're perfect for a pop of color and have the power to make any girl look "girly" he he My favorites include some high end brands like MAC and NARS as well as drugstore brands some of which I am sure you have seen swatched on my blog before, I just wanted to include all of them under one post!
So here they are...
1. MAC Victorian (Frost)- Cool-toned pink with gold sheen. Sadly it was a limited edition lippie from MAC Spring Colour Forecast collection. Applies opaque.
2. MAC Angel (Frost) - Pale rosy pink with light sheen to it. Looks super creamy on lips and has no shimmer. Applies semi-opaque.
3. MAC Viva Glam Gaga (Lustre) - Cool-toned bubblegum pink, good pigmentation. Has a glossy look on lips. Applies semi-opaque. Many have compared this to MAC Snob lipstick, I can't tell since I don't own Snob, but it looks somewhat similar yep!
4. NYX Narcissus - Very bright neon, cotton candy/Barbie pink. Creamy feel on lips. Applies opaque.
5. NARS Roman Holiday - Cool mid-toned pink, moisturizing formula. Gives me the feeling that I have lip balm on. Sheer but very buildable.
6. Rimmel Pink Chic - Cool blue pink, glides on smooth, subtle sheen, fine silver shimmer to it, moisturizing formula, applies semi-opaque.
7. Revlon Colorburst Carnation - Fuchsia/pink, smooth formula, sheer but can be built up to a vibrant color, semi-opaque.
8. Rimmel Pink Blush - Bubblegum pink, smooth formula, glides on, shimmery, highly pigmented, applies opaque.
9. Maybelline Pink Please - Mid-tone milky/baby pink, creamy consistency, goes on smooth, applies semi-opaque.
10. Rimmel Pink Champagne - My newest pink lippie, it was love at first swatch! Reminds me a lot of Viva Glam Gaga even though in the swatches above they don't look that similar. It's also not as cool toned as Gaga. Creamy formula, highly pigmented, great lasting power!
i love the revlon too!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I don't have Angel. I was thinking of picking it up recently but I've heard it's similar to Lazy Day from To The Beach which I plan on getting so I may hold off. Great variety of pinks, Pink Champagne looks hot!
ReplyDeletebtw - I will just go insane with the little booger, how did you survive?!
ReplyDeleteI own 2, 3, 5, 8 and 10. I need to compare Snob to Gaga, I have both, good idea!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE pink champagne, it's goes by another name too, pink blush, that's it!! I don't know why 006 is both pink blush and pink champagne! I saw them both at the same time at Target, same lippie number and color but the names were diff =/
Love you favorites! I wished I had #1!!
*drools*

@ A La Moda, Revlon is definitely becoming one of my favorite drugstore brands! ;)
ReplyDelete@ Ann, I can totally see you rocking Angel, it would look great on you! Well all lipsticks do, you have the perfect complexion! I’ve seen Lazy Day but thought it was a bit lighter than Angel. I’ll check your blog to see swatches for sure!
@ Janine, OMG Do I have the same lipstick with different names??? NO WAY! lol They do look the same, can’t believe it! I guess now I’ll keep one of them as backup he he It takes so much patience to train a puppy and I lost so much sleep over it, believe me! Now he’s a bit over 10 months and he is ok. No “business” in the house, he can hold it for hours, he definitely knows all commands etc.You just need to be patient and consistent with training. Crate definitely does wonders, even though most people think it’s cruel. We let him free (with the door closed) in our bedroom over night keeping his crate in our room also and he STILL goes in his crate because that’s his home aww! Good luck girl, do not give up! ;)
@ Nymphette LOL, don’t deprive yourself of pink lippies girl!!!
@ resham, I think I agree with you on the drugstores having better pink lippies with a few exceptions. I personally love Angel and don’t find it to be too frosty or pale. Definitely has a “pop” effect on my face. I wonder if you have the wrong lipstick? Hmm..
@Amira, yay we can relate! Glad you liked the post hun!
@Sara, me too!
@ Becky, thanks girl!
@liloo, your welcome hun!
@ Blusherine, thanks!!
@Chloe, your welcome, now I better see Narcissus in your next FOTD! :p xo
@lovelyviolet5, Thanks love, I’m glad if I could help!
@Jonesy, I used to think nothing of pink lipsticks, I would only really use pink lipglosses, but I decided to “expand my horizon” lol and since then I love pink lips. I think you need to find the right shade of pink, I am sure there are tons that would look beautiful on you though, try them, you never know! ;)
@NYCShopaholic, omg you’re so sweet girlie, thanks so much for the award! Muah!
@ Sarai, thanks lady! I love pinks!!
@ Alvira, I heart Carnation, I think this color would look great on pretty much any skin tone ;)
these are all beautiful but what would you say the best alternative to roman holiday is from like a cvs or something
ReplyDeletevery good information,thank you
