Just can’t seem to keep a ‘normal’ amount of makeup in my
handbag! They really seem to multiply, but it is great for giving me a snapshot
of what I have been loving lately if I’m too lazy to sit down and nut it out
myself. I was at my sisters for dinner last week and decided to rifle through
my stash, and here is what I retrieved.

That typical winter thing, a stack of moisturising lippies
or balms to keep the chapped flakiness at bay. I feel like I need to get
cracking with my Lush lip scrub, which is sitting forlorn wondering
where the love has gone. Love is still there for it (despite it being something
I could essentially make myself) it is just that I have become a busy lazy lady
of late you know how it is. Have
cracked out the Baby Lips stash and it is a tad more extensive that I
first thought it would be. The pictured tube is Energising Orange, but I
have my eyes on the Relieving Menthol because I am a sheep who adores
Sleep and Water and must have anything she approves of.
La Roche Posay Ceralip also gets a look in, though I
haven’t used it enough to decide if I love it yet. It does feel pleasant and
smooth on the lips, which is a positive first impression I suppose. The Jack
Black balm is ace, and because I have this formula in almost every scent
you can trust me on that! This Vanilla & Lavender is my personal
favourite, and is great for a nice sheen and some wind protection on my nightly
walks with Mister Bovary and his Papa. Last but not least for balms, my beloved
Carmex Peach Sheer Tint*, of which I professed my love for in this post
quite recently.
I was all about a strong chocolate crease for the eyes last
week, so the lipsticks were a change from my bright line up of late. YSL
Rose Bergamasque is one of the best lipsticks I possess, and a wedding lip
contender at that (full post and comparison swatches are here for you) The
other nude lip love to enter my life is one I am wearing as I type this – L’Oreal
Color Riche 378 Velvet Rose*. This formula is seriously stellar, doesn’t
fall into my lip lines or get cakey, just sits beautifully and is my perfect
MLBB shade right now. Much love for both of these nudes, and that is a lot
coming from a fair bear like me.

Fess up- have you found a good nude for your
complexion yet? And do you have any tips of
taking care of lips during harsh weather?
*Marked items provided for consideration, but were really in
my bag! Honesty, always.
My lips are absolutely dreadful this winter, but I will admit I'm not hydrating them enough as I should! I like the sound of the Jack Black balm! It sounds lovely!

@Jasmine I really need to drink more water I think, I have had a bottle in my bag but am so lazy to stop off to go the bathroom during the day so don't drink as much as I should from it >< The JB balms are seriously good, I love my collection of them!
DeleteAll of these look really lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to find the perfect nude lipstick for me... I just do not look good in nude ;)
When the weather is really harsh here I just always moisturize daily... LOADS of times/day :) I also scrub away the dead skin on my lips with a toothbrush :D

Thanks Anna - nudes can be hard to make work, I'm really glad I have a few that I love now :) I have found that using overnight masks has been great for my skin re: moisturisation, nice and easy to do as well :)
DeleteLove my baby lips- I have like 6!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Sarah- I have probably that many as well, just bought one of the tinted ones and now need the mint version :)
DeleteI am the same - I swear that my lippies completely multiply in my handbag!
ReplyDelete@Katy it is like they procreate all by themselves, right?! Crazy!
DeleteI love Carmex, and babylips, and ...never mind.
ReplyDeleteI try to keep chapped lips at bay by having a lip balm pretty much everywhere you can think of!

Love it Nalini, you are obsessed like me! I have been using Baby Lips a lot lately, but Carmex are definitely numero uno for me ;P
DeleteI hardly ever wear nude lipsticks. I feel really washed out without the pop of colour I get from my lip products. I'm as fair if not more fair than you and I do like Creme Cup and Angel by MAC, but I consider them light pinks more than nudes. I think that's the closest I'll get to nude lips! x
ReplyDeleteI think you are definitely a bright lip advocate Angie ;P I think our skin tones are pretty similar, you have a porcelain look that I think I need to work on though ;P
DeleteI'm forever finding stray lip products in my handbags - sometimes forgotten about! I know I have to clean out my makeup bag regularly too because they tend to accumulate there at an incredible rate too! With regard to nude lippies I find it challenging too and I find rosy mauve nudes work better on me than true beige nudes :)
ReplyDelete@Vita I can't help but marvel at how they collect without me realising over each week! I think rosy nudes (like Revlon Honey) are best for me as well :)
