Getting Girly with YSL and Maybelline
Is it just me, or have a lot of YouTubers been rocking a pretty pink lip lately?! I adore the bright pink thing that Ingrid has going on in this favourites video, and even Estee from Essie Button has been getting into some pretty awesome pink lip action over here. This post proves that not only am I easily influenced by others, but that it is wonderfully invigorating to take inspiration from beautiful people and in turn dive into your stash to come up with some buried treasure.
A glossy pink lip has been on the menu for me for a while now, and seeing videos with pretty pinks involved has kept the trend strong. I am only just beginning to really appreciate the beauty of the Maybelline Color Whispers, and in particular the shade Petal Rebel* is totally rocking my world. It doesn't sink into lip lines and remains nice and glossy while keeping the pale pink pigment strong, which is a pretty mean feat for a light pink shade am I right?
A high end pink beauty that I've been pairing with my glossy lips is the YSL Crème de Blush in Fuschia Temptation. A lemming spurred on by the ever-inspiring Pink Sith, this appears quite a bit more fluorescent on me than it may on most thanks to my pale colouring. As you can see in the first image though, it is still very wearable and in my opinion, best applied with a nice stippling brush. As you can tell by the surface of my YSL pot, that is how I always apply my Crème de blush!
How do you go about getting girly with your makeup?
Is it just me, or is it quite hard to find a flattering pale pink lip product in a lovely formula?!

SO pretty Emma! You look gorgeous in pink! I'm going to the drugstore today and am going to look for this lipstick! i haven't tried the Whispers yet, but this looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Tracy!
DeleteWow you look great in pale pink and pull off that fluorescent blush really well! I tend to go for bright pink or nude pink, might have to try out some pale pink lip colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you Emily! I find pale pinks are a bit tricky but when they work I adore them!
DeleteAwww...they are so cute! I super love their colors for they are def so girly and classy. A must try. Love your look for you look so sweet and charming.
ReplyDeleteA very girly look for me indeed, glad you liked it Julie
DeleteI'm an eternal sucker for pinks! Petal Rebel is probably too light for me but I do like Lust for Blush :) As for pale pinks with a good formula ... they're not perfect but MAC Creme Cup comes to mind as well as Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Lemonade.
ReplyDeleteI haven't worn Lust for Blush yet, must get on that considering I was sent all of the shades! Pink Lemonade didn't really work for me, but Crème Cup looks super pretty (and I can Back2Mac for that, hmmm)
DeleteAbsolutely flattering and pretty! I love your cheek color, its just so natural and such a glow. For most asian ladies like me with yellow undertones its very very difficult to find light pink lippies that are flattering! They tend to make our skin look dull or dead so I always mix a bolder pink with my very nude pink shades for some life!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sharlynn I adore the YSL crème blushes they are so glowy in the best way!
DeleteYour skin looks so good! Whatcha been doin, girl???
ReplyDeleteI've been a good girl with my cleanser, and using Lancôme Dreamtone baby!
DeleteI'm surprised that the bold pink blush didn't look too bright on your cheeks! LOVE LOVE LOVE! Hmm..how do I add some girlyness? Never thought of that really. I guess...some bold pink lips?
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a stippling brush for bright blush I'm tellin' ya!
