LOTD - NYX Copacabana

I don't have too many lip products from NYX but this is still one of my favorites, NYX tinted lip spa in Copacabana. I don't know whether it's supposed to be a tinted lipstick, tinted balm or a tinted gloss, maybe it's a hybrid. Whatever it is I love it!

I bought this from a local drugstore for about $6 CDN. This was the lightest shade in the color range that the store had. It's a very milky pink color, close to Turkish delight by NARS but a bit darker.

This formula is very soft and silky. It feels like applying olive oil on your lips without all the greasy mess. The tinted lip spas do have a very minty menthol smell so if that's not for you neither will this product. Other than that I find this a great moisturizing product, but a warning... If your lips are so dry that they are cracked, this will settle into the lines and will not look pretty. If your lips are just a bit parched this is very quenching.

The only real Con to this product may just be for me.  I think I got a shotty tube because my twist up won't work. I have to bang it on my desk and then it pops out. It's annoying and as a result has left some marks on the lip product which is irritating. I have read some other reviews and no one else has had this problem that I could see.

I would absolutlely repurchase this product again if I run out. I adore this color so much.

Have you tried NYX's tinted lip spas?

MAC Speed Dial Lipstick

Oh MAC, how I love you...

One of my fave MAC lipsticks has got to be "Speed Dial", a blue toned candied pink. In the tube there is the slightest amount of gold shimmer, but none of that transfers onto the lips. This is cremesheen so the formula is well... fabulous and creamy, not quite matte (Satin) with a high gloss finish. What I love about speed dial so much is that although it is a warm bright color, it's still neutral enough to be wearable on an everyday basis without looking obnoxious. Included is that famous light vanilla scent that all MAC lipsticks are known to have. De-lish. I've been wearing this color to work almost every day for past two weeks and  the lipstick lasts about 4-5 hours before needing to reapply.

For $17.50 CDN  MAC lipsticks are a bit on the higher end but so worth the price. Highly Recommended.

MAC Speed Dial in different lighting

LOTD - NYX Lipstick In Peach

This week I seem to be into some bright colors, and another of my favorites is NYX lipstick in Peach. When I first saw the name I thought it was ridiculous. There is absolutely nothing "Peach" about it. Whoever named it may have been colorblind, or just has an inside joke that the rest of us don't understand. It's a  raspberry with such a little amount of shimmer than it comes off as more of a sheen. And the formula feels like pure silk, it's fabulous. But one of the best things besides  the buttery formula is the packaging. The top part is .. meh, but on the bottom is a gel that shows the exact color of the lipstick!! No more nasty tester tubes that are crawling with whatever germs all the people who touched it had!!!  I honestly don't know why every brand doesn't do this. It's genius.

LOTD - Maybelline Colorsensational Highshine - Coral Lustre

I'm feeling spring right now after the whole WEEK of winter we had here in Vancouver, and I felt like rocking a colorful lip. This is Maybellines Colorsensational highshine in Coral Lustre.

I wanted to take a ton of pictures in different lighting so you can see the full effect.  The picture that shows the truest color is the bottom middle picture.
 It's a pink coral that is all color, all gloss. No shimmer. No glitter. No frost. It's one of the nicest formulas that I've seen in the drugstore, feeling like a gloss rather than a lipstick.
The smell is very strong but I wouldn't say over powering. It smells fruity, maybe cherry/pineapple. So yummy.

What are you wearing on your lips today?

LOTD - NARS Lipstick - Roman Holiday

 NARS LIPSTICK IN ROMAN HOLIDAY

3.4 g / 0.12 oz.

 Roman Holiday. My very first NARS lipstick. It has definitely been well loved.
The reason I went to buy a NARS lipstick, and I have never forgotten this, was because MissGlamorazzi said that NARS lipsticks were like lipsticks that felt like lip balms. Which is 100% correct I feel. And when I tried it, I had to buy a few more duh :)

Roman Holiday with both natural and artificial lighting

It's a beautiful blue based bubble gum pink. The formula has a very sheer consistency, but can easily built up for more opaque color if more is applied. Very glossy, absolutely no glitter no shimmer. I'm not sure what the ingredients are in this lipstick, but there is something in this lipstick that moisturizes and conditions the lips.  This feels like putting butter on your lips, it's so softening.
By far my all time favorite brand of lipsticks has to be NARS. The consistency and formula alone are reason enough to buy this lipstick. If you find a color you like, I highly recommend buying it.

For $28 CDN it's definitely on the pricier side, but it's also one of the highest quality on the market.

Have you tried any NARS lipsticks?
