My Top 5 Everyday Lipsticks

L to R - NARS Bahama, NARS Walkyrie, MAC Cosmo, MAC Whirl, Maybelline Nude Embrace.

It's been a while since I've been able to actually wear lipstick. My lips went through a very dry phase that no lip balm or lip scrub could fix. But after giving my poor lips a break and finally repurchasing the Nivea Lip Butter (which is a lip saver), my lips are finally smooth again. Since I recently posted about my current favourite nude lipstick combinations, I thought I would keep up with the lipstick theme and share with you five of my favourite lipsticks of the moment.

Whenever I fancy a bit of colour on the lips I'll either go for NARS Walkyrie Velvet Matte Lip Pencil or MAC Whirl. Walkyrie is a gorgeous burnt brick red shade that adds a pop of colour to your makeup without being too in your face. Although it's pigmented and deposits a very decent amount of colour to the lips, it's still very neutral. Whirl on the other hand is significantly darker, but still rather neutral with its chocolate hue. I don't think this is a colour everyone will like or suit, but personally I find it looks stunning with a simple eye, it really adds a sense of sophistication to the whole look. 

For those days where I have no inspiration and don't know what lipstick to wear, I'll either pick Cosmo by MAC or NARS Bahama. Cosmo has been a favourite of mine for the past three years. This is such an underrated colour, I believe it deserves a lot more hype. It's a pinky brown that adds the most stunning shade and sheen to the lips, requires no mirror and really brightens up the face. Bahama is a recent acquisition, I've only had it for a couple of months but it became one of my favourite shades after only using it once. It's the most beautiful rose-y brown with lavender undertones. The perfect Kylie Jenner lip. 

And last but not least, Maybelline Nude Embrace. Also a shade that was love at first sight. I use this more when I fancy going for a smokey eye as it compliments that look really well. It doesn't look like concealer on me and actually works with my skin tone. A real winner!

  2. Those colors are so gorgeous! I really love the Nars Bahama one. The brownish tones in it really makes it look so pretty. Also, good to know that the Nivea lip butters work well. I've tried their lip balms and they are great, but I haven't tried their lip butters. When my lips feel super dry I always turn towards Aquaphor, but it's good to know about other options!
