The Lip Product Addict Tag


Hey guys, so recently on youtube I've been enjoying watching 'The Lip Product Addict Tag' and thought I would do my own version of it here on my blog. Not much else I can say really apart from lets get started!

1. Favourite lipbalm/treatment
Carmex Mint Lipbalm. I had to choose good ol' Carmex since I've been a fan of it since I was a teen. I love this for the fact your lips really feel hydrated once you apply it, yet it doesn't leave a slippery residue on your lips like some other balms of a similar consistency do. I can apply this directly before applying my lipstick and it helps hide any dry patches. I also prefer the tube formula as you don't have to go poking your fingers around in there (eww yucky germs!) PLUS, it has SPF15 in there too, BONUS!

2. Best Eye Catching Red
Rimmel Colour Show Off Lipstick in Red Fever. A true classic cherry red colour at its best from Rimmel. If you want a lipstick that says 'Baamm!' when you put it on then this is definitely a colour for you. The staying power of this lipstick is brilliant from the high street, it only needs a little touching up in the middle of your lips after eating. The only downside to this one is its a little drying due to its matte formula, however with the lipbalm on before this doesn't seem to bother me:)

3.Best Luxury and Best Drugstore
Luxury-Ysl Rouge Volupte(shade 11?) How could I not pick a Ysl, I mean just look at the packaging, its gold and shiny and really heavy!! Plus I absolutely adore the peachy coral colour. These lipsticks are soo soo pigmented and really creamy.
Drugstore- L'oreal Made For Me Intense Blondes Color Riche No. 290. This isn't a colour I wear everyday at the moment, but I love it in the winter as a berry lip. Again mainly for its longevity. This is the perfect purple, not a reddy purple, or a pinky purple, just pure deep purple!!       (how any times have I said purple ha!)

4. Best Mac Lipstick
Mac Creamsheen in Creme Cup/ Mac Matte in Candy Yum Yum. OK so cheated, but I just I couldn't choose between the two of these. Creme Cup is my perfect nude. I always get so many compliments on this colour and it's one I know I can throw on and I will look nice and polished. I also love Candy Yum Yum again because everyone always asks what the colour is, and it's a real statement lip that can jazz up any look. I feel really glamorous and made up when I wear it.

5. Most Disappointing
Mac Glaze in Hue. This might be quite a surprise to some of you as this is such a classic favourite of a lot of people. I actually like the formula of this as it glides on so effortlessly, but the colour just does nothing for me. I keep trying it in the hope I will someday figure out how to pull it off but I just can't. Guess I'm just not a nude gal!

6. Liner- Yes or No? -No. I only have 3 lip liners, Yes 3!!! A pink, a neutral and a red. I know I should probably get into them more but I just haven't got enough shades to go with my lipsticks at the moment, so I usually skip this step.

7. Best Lipgloss
Mac Dazzleglass in Sugarrimmed. Look at it! Just look at the beautifulness that is pink and sparkly eee!! As soon as I saw this in the store I had to have it! It goes over so many different colours due to it's subtle pink colour and adds a touch of glamour with it's soft shimmers. I wouldn't say it's a full on glitter look, it just makes your lips look slightly sparkly. The formula is quite thick and gooey, but I don't mind this at all in lip glosses.

8. Something Extra
Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Audacious. This is my something extra since it's a product I've found myself reaching for lately. A really bright summer orange matte shade, this is a great orange which won't brake the bank either. To say this is a matte formula, I find this doesn't dry out my lips in the slightest and has great staying power. I'm definitely going to try out more shades from the range.

Well thats it for my Tag but I'd love to see yours!

Until next time

Loves, Chloe
