A few years back you would never catch me wearing a liquid
lipstick. Shocker. For someone who
suffers with extremely dry lips, of course I found them to be an absolute pain
to wear. They were uncomfortable and they made my lips crack and flake. I
know, gross. Fast forward two years later, and I love them so much to
the point where I literally wear them almost every day. I discovered the
wonderful joys of lip scrub and lip balm which helped tons with my dry lips. I
am now slowly building up my own little collection of liquid lipsticks and I
have picked out a few of my favourites which I have currently been obsessed
with recently…
NYX Lip
Lingerie – Bedtime Flirt
This was definitely a ‘Blogger made me buy it’ product as I saw so
many great reviews about these liquid lipsticks that I wanted to join in and
not feel left out lol. The texture
of these lipsticks are kind of mousse like at first and then they dry down
completely moments later. I have 4 different shades however my favourite is ‘Bedtime Flirt’ which is a gorgeous
pinky nude that I find perfect for an everyday use. After a while, it does
start to show all the fine lines on your lips but it’s nothing a lip balm over
the top can’t fix! The longevity of these are great, they last for a good few
hours and they don’t transfer.
2 Jeffree Star
Liquid Lipstick – Leo
These liquid lipsticks have one of my favourite formulas ever!
Unlike the lip lingerie’s, these ones are much more liquid in texture and they
feel very smooth when you first apply them on to your lips. They feel quite
tacky at first but then they dry down to a matte finish within a few minutes.
They aren’t completely transfer proof so keep that in mind and they can tend to
come off around the inside of your lips after eating or drinking which is
something most liquid lipsticks tend to do after a few hours. I have two shades
out of his collection – ‘Posh Spice and
Leo’ with Leo being my favourite as
it’s more of a warm toned brown. If you
didn’t know, I am literally obsessed with brown lipsticks.
3 MUA Velvet
Lip Lacquer – Flair
I discovered these a few weeks back and I thought as the price
range was only £3, these were going to be crap. I was very wrong. They work just as good and wear just as long as
any other liquid lipstick that I have tried, it’s a bonus that they’re just
extremely cheap! After a few hours of wearing this, the colour does fade a bit
so you do have to re-apply once throughout the day. I have mine in the shade ‘Flair’ which is a dark burgundy colour,
perfect for the autumn months (although I
do love wearing this all year round). I wore this so many times throughout
November/December and I got a hell of a lot of compliments on it.
4 NYX Soft
Matte Lip Creams – London
I rave about these all the time to everyone. If you’re not much of
a liquid lipstick lover due to how drying they can be, then I definitely
recommend in picking up some of these bad boys. These are what got me into
liking liquid lipsticks. They’re lip creams which don’t dry down completely on
your lips yet still giving you the appearance of wearing a matte lipstick. It
feels like soft velvet on your lips and they are very comfortable to wear. They
cost £5.50 each which is an absolute
bargain. My favourite shade is ‘London’
– it’s a perfect nude which works with a lot of different skin tones. I also
love the shades Amsterdam which is a
bright red and I have also got Moscow
which is a dark blue… BLUE. I bought
it because I thought it would be perfect for Halloween, but I seem to wear it
on a daily basis when I’m feeling very daring.
I’m always on
the hunt for some more liquid lipsticks, what are your favourites?
