Facing irrational fears - Clinique Chubby Stick Intense (Heftiest Hibiscus) Review/FOTD

Goooood morning! 

Today we're going to talk about irrational fears, and lipstick. So the usual haha!

I have worn Brown,Red,Purple,Pink,Nude, Hell, even Navy Blue lipstick before. But I am TERRIFIED of Orange lipstick. 

I was told as a young preteen by a women working the counter at my local Shoppers, that my skin is too warm/red for orange lipstick. And as you all know I assume, these things stick with you. 

I'v since realized, that with my beautiful warm skintone. I look pretty darn great with orange/coral lipstick, so this is a challenge to myself! 

I have a full sized tube of Heftiest Hibiscus! The packaging is lovely in my opinion. It's 100% purse friendly. I'v never had the cap pop off in mine.

Here is a swatch of the lipstick. It's a very strongly orange leaning coral. I say coral because there is a TOUCH of pink in there.

It's creamy, soft, and smooth. It applies to the lips with ease. It's not so soft It will break as you're applying, nor will it slip right off your lips. It has a sheen/creamy finish to it.

Mine was in my pocket for a long day. And it got too warm and broke off the base. So now I just have to be very careful when applying. I say this as a warning to others!

Here I am wearing Heftiest Hibiscus. I have one medium layer on in these photos. I adore to pair this with a warm blush, or shimmery bronzer/blush. I think that just looks so warm and summery. 

Overall: If you like a warm, orange lipstick I'd highly recommend this chubby stick! It's easy to use on the go, it's not drying. and lasts! 

My all time favourite, Holy Grail lipstick Review

Hey all!! I'm so shocked I haven't made this post yet. But here we are!

I want to share with y'all my holy grail "I only need this lipstick", lipstick.

I want you all to meet, LUSH's Santa Baby Lip tint!

LUSH's Santa Baby and I have been together for one year this past christmas, And we couldn't be happier!!

I feel bad that I'm just getting to this post now. Because It's a christmas exclusive, so I bought a backup this christmas! But if you fall in love with this beauty, don't fret! it'll be back. And you could always find it online!

Anyway,

Santa Baby is a described as a "red lip tint" and boy do I disagree!!

This is a satin finish, thick, opaque, orange lipstick with a touch of red (on me at least)

The consistency is slightly chunky in the tube and when apply it. But when you smooth it over your lips it blends it and it just melts into the lips.

The reason why I love this lipstick so much? it INSTANTLY Stains my lips. I applied the swatches to my arm, snapped a few photos, and right away wiped it off, and there was/is a bright stain. If I wear this for a full day, I'll have orangey stained lips the next day!!

I HATE reapplying lipstick. I feel embarrassed reapplying in public. So I need long lasting lipsticks. And this is IT. It wears at a heafty 8/9 hours on me.

This isn't drying in my opinion, but please remember my lips aren't super dry. I put lip balm on almost every night, and most mornings while I do my makeup. And my lips are in great shape. So if you have drier lips, take this with a grain of salt!

Price: $9

Pros: Non drying, creamy, opaque, perfect for long days, great staying power, brightens up my warm face.

Cons: every time I wear this it gets on my teeth and stains them slightly, Might be drying for some, hard to remove the stain.

Overall: 10/10!!!!

NYC Expert Last Lip Colour Review

Today's another lipstick review, so buckle in, friends!!

We're talking about New York Color's Expert last lip colour, lipsticks!

I own three of them. But am only showing you two of them today, as the third one I might be selling/swapping!

I own the shades, Velvety Fuchsia (Top swatch) and Air Kiss (bottom swatch). Both are creamy, slightly thick feeling, bright pinks! Air Kiss is more warm, on my skin. And Velvety Fuchsia is more blue/cool!

These lipsticks are pretty darn good for the price, But they do come with faults!

The packing SUCKS. The bullet doesn't go all the way down into the tube. So I'm always nicking it. And the cap will fall off if you blow on it! So they are NOT purse, or pocket friendly! They also have a fairly strong synthetic fruit almost cherry, scent to them.

But I continue to wear them in the summer because they're just so pretty! They stain my lips, and they really do last! I just wish the packaging was different.

Price: $2.99 (or 2 for $5)

Pros: Creamy, long lasting, non drying.

Cons: Packaging sucks, super strong scent, a lot of the shades look the same.

Overal: 6/10.
