Lovely lippies

S came home bearing some pretty new lippies from the states. I got a MAC prep and prim lip primer which claims to keep lipstick on your lips longer. Perhaps I am not using it properly, but I have not noticed a difference. Lipstick doesn’t tend to last too long on my lips and I usually re-apply a few times a day. What are your tips for long lasting lipstick?
 
 I got: MAC Plumful and MAC Pink Pearl Pop
MAC Plumful
 
This is my new favourite every day lipstick. It is a natural colour and provides a pop of colour to freshen up your look. I usually wear this to work as it is not too bright and over the top for my workplace. No-one wears lipstick here it seems, so I can’t wear bright red lippie without standing out a lot. As the name suggests, it is a plum coloured lipstick.
 
MAC Pink Pearl Pop
 
Another beautiful lipstick to add to the collection. Pink Pearl Pop is a brighter pink that I will probably only wear when going out. It is a light and bright pink and a very sweet colour. I’ve noticed the staying power on this one is not great and I need to apply a fair bit for the colour to show well enough.
 
Have you gotten any new lipsticks lately?
 
What are your go-to colours?

  1. To be honest, I haven't worn lipstick in ages! I have MAC Russian Red and Lady Danger but feel they're waaaay to bright for work. I like the look of Plumful though, I think it could work. I just want one that makes me look better without looking like I'm trying too hard haha

    1. Yeah, I agree that bright red feels too bright for work. I wore my MAC lady danger once and I felt so odd!

      I find rose coloured ones with just a subtle colour do a lot to brighten the face.

  2. I only have bright lipsticks which aren't work-appropriate :( Maybe I need some more muted shades

    1. Yes, you definitely do. I love wearing lipstick and do pretty much every day unless I am sitting around at home doing nothing.

  3. These colors are BEAUTIFUL! Gosh, I wish so badly I could pull off lipstick! I'm so intimidated by it! But I would love to sport these colors!

    1. I used to think I couldn't pull off lipstick, but I was just wearing the wrong shade that looked ridiculous. Have you tried using different shades?
