December Lippies

I’m trying something new this month. I’m putting more effort into blogging my choice cosmetics so I will be presenting them by batch. Let’s start off with the lipsticks. Since it’s December, I will be using all my red lippies: Here are swatches: From left to right: MAC WonderWoman, MAC Russian Red, Estee Lauder Pure Color Berry Pink, Maybelline Rose Pearl, Maybelline Wine, Maybelline Brick Rose, Avon Rose Gold and Avon Ruby in Gold. I just discovered that the Ruby in Gold lippy came off the tube so that will probably be melted and put into a palette. My every day lipstick is pink so this December is really a welcome change. I don’t know why even after years of wearing red lipstick, I still get intimidated by it. I guess wearing red everyday will change that.

Wine and Brick Rose are kinda tricky to apply. I didn’t swatch them when I bought them because at that time I just wanted to buy red lipsticks, period. I sometimes layer these with other shades. I think Wine is very pretty on very fair girls. R22 is a very pretty shade. It’s also easy to apply and it stays true to its water shine name. I love Rose Gold because it has tiny gold specks that make my lips oh so pretty. This is the first time I’ve swiped Berry Freeze and I was surprised that  it complements my natural lip color very well. I think I’ll be using this more often. If you like wearing red lipstick, here are a few tips that might come in handy. This is what I do. It may or may not work for you. ...
