So I took quite a break from doing reviews. I'm not entirely sure why but I just found that I had to push myself to write them. I dreaded sitting down to write them. So I just pushed them to the back set. But I'm finally ready to come back and do come every now and them. I thought that it was only fitting to come back with my favourite product type lippies!
I've done it! I've finally made a ColourPop order! I've been wanting to try them forever! I'm so obsessed I have even written a whole blog post about my ColourPop wishlist! I'm so psych to finally have some ColourPop to play with! So let's get into what I ordered!
I thought it was time for my dynamic duo top have a post of their own. I have been talking about them non-stop in every post where I mention lip products and it's about the only thing I've been wearing since I discovered the amazingness they made together. So please excuse me as a swoon over these lippies.
I love classic red lips almost as much as I love berry lips! I love rocking bold lips and bright cherry reds are perfectly bold! Cherry lips go with everything! And now that it is getting colder and winter is coming cherry lips are coming into trend.
Fall is the best time of year! The weather is colder, the leaves are changing and lippies are berry! Now I wear berries all year around and not all the lippies in today's post are berry but the Berries are the best!
I am so excited about this project! I decided to swatch every lip product I own! I love lip products and I love swatching them. So I decided to swatch all of them in one series! Classic lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, lip liners, chubby crayons. Every lip product in my lippie box!
My soul hurts just writing that title. I am a lip product addict. Lippies are my favorite product of them all. Finding lippies that were disappointing makes me so sad. But it is inevitable as I have so many lippies and I can't leave Ulta without at least 1 lippie product.
Getting a lippie that just doesn't perform or meet expectations is the most disappointing for me when it comes to disappointing products. I love lip products and I've always looking for the new best lippie. Getting one that doesn't live up to hype or doesn't perform as promised always makes me sad.
I'm just happy there are only 5 lip products on this list today.

Here is my experience with NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams.
I decided at the beginning of the year that I wanted to do at least one lip product post per month. So while brainstorming ideas for lip posts I thought, what if you could only have 5 lipsticks for the rest of time. Sometimes my own brain scares me.
The idea of 5 lipsticks forever is a bit horrifying. So of course I had to do it!

"They’re real! double the lip creates visibly fuller-looking lips in one easy step. The BIG sexy lipstick set includes four of these sexy lipsticks & liners. Each custom teardrop tip grabs & defines your lip line and fills in lips with complementing color for visibly fuller, sexier lips instantly!"

I can't believe it's almost summer! How is the first day of summer only a little over a month away? I say that but I've had my AC on for about 2 weeks so I shouldn't really be surprised.
I have always been a fan of any shade in any season so instead of going all reds or all corals or nudes I've compiled a little list for you if my favorite lip products that wear really well in the heat.
This tag was made for me! If you are new to my blog you may not know how much of a lip product addict I am. I love lipstick. I wear the rest of my makeup just so I can wear lipstick. Lipstick alone would look weird wouldn't it?
So this tag is all about lipsticks. It has 10 questions. So please enjoy.
I tag Katie, Nikki, Lyd, Hannah, & Kimberly.
Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks
"The pigment load in Vice Lipstick is insane! Just one swipe
provides an unbelievable laydown of color. And every shade applies
smoothly (without dragging or skipping), hugs lips, and feels amazing!
Our proprietary Pigment Infusion System™ gives the formula its
super-creamy texture, rich payout and superior color dispersion."
-Snippet from Urban Decay's Product Description
So Urban promised that these lipsticks will have great pigment, a super-creamy smooth texture.
The creamy formula is also "loaded with nourishing ingredients. A yummy butter blend
comforts, hydrates and enhances, leaving lips soft and conditioned,
never dry. Aloe Vera, jojoba, avocado and babassu oils nourish and
soften lips. illipe butter (derived from Malaysian illipe trees)
provides long-lasting moisture. And Vitamin C and vitamin E provide a
hit of antioxidants."
There are 101 shades and 6 finishes. The shades range from pinks to nudes to reds to dark berries and everything in between.
The 6 finishes are Mega Matte: super-intense matte, Comfort Matte: our creamiest matte, Cream: the original, creamy, badass luxury, Metallized: cream with a high level of pearl, Sheer: a punch of color with a sheer, shiny finish, and Sheer Shimmer: slightly transparent finish with floating pearl and a smooth texture.
Today I will only be reviewing the Mega Matte, Comfort Matte and Cream. I prefer Matte so I doubt I'll ever get the Metallized, Sheer or Sheer Shimmer.
Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks are available for $17 each in the US at Ulta, and Sephora. If you are in the UK they are available for £15.50 at Debenhams. You can also find them for $17 on urbandecay.com or find a store near you on UD's Store Locator.
Here is my experience with the Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks.
I'm so excited to do one of these posts. I've seen them all over Instagram and Twitter. I love lippies so the idea of a recap of the lippies I've been rocking this month is really exciting!
So today I want to share the lipsticks I have been wearing in March.
NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella
"Lips are instantly saturated with rich pigments and a velvety matte finish. The long-lasting, non-drying formula is enriched with emollients for a creamy texture, while a combination of unique silicones ensures long-lasting, seamless color for hours. Use for lining, all-over lip color, or pairing with another lip product."

MAC Retro Matte Lipstick
MAC describes their lipstick as "Formulated

Mac Retro Matte Lipstick is available for $17 on maccosmetics.com and you can find a MAC Store or MAC Counter here.
Here is my experience with MAC Retro Matte Lipstick in Ruby Woo.
In my last post I listed out a ton of beauty products I wanted to try. I had so many lippies in it and I left so many out that I decided to do a post all about the lippies I want to try.
I'm a 100% a lip product addict. I can't got to Ulta or Sephora without getting a lipstick. I have such a long list of lippies I want that it was really hard to choose what to include in my beauty wish list post.
I love matte lip products so much I can't even tell you! It say I'm an addict or have a lip product obsession is an understatement.
All products will be listed and linked at the end of the posts.
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss
Rimmel doesn't have much of a description on their site about this lipstick. Ulta's description says "Lasting Finish Lipstick by Rimmel London locks color to lips for up
to 8 hours wear. 50% more color. Soft, smooth, comfortable formula."
The Boots description says "Kate Moss brings colour to a new unique dimension. The gorgeous
colour richness and comfort of Kate’s lipstick, now in a Velvety Matte
finish. Ruby Powder enriched formula to intensify the colour while
keeping a matte finish all day long! Matte is re-invented for the most
velvety comfortable colour ever!"
So this lipstick promises to be soft, smooth, with great color and matte finish. Both descriptions say it is a comfortable and long wearing formula.
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte Lipsticks are available in the US for $5.49 at Ulta, $3.29-$4.99 at Target and is also available most places where drugstore makeup is sold. It is available in the UK for £5.49 at Boots, Superdrug, ASDA, you can also find other locations in the UK on Rimmel's site.
