Two weeks ago Lauren tagged me to do The Lip Product Tag. Lipsticks and lip products are without a doubt my favourite makeup items to purchase and to apply so I’m more than happy to do a tag all about them! Also, make sure you check out the seasonal makeup collaboration Lauren and I did last week. CLICK HERE to read Lauren’s post and CLICK HERE to read mine.
What is your favourite lip balm or treatment?
I have two. Nivea’s Pearly Shine lip balm is really nice for those days when your lips aren’t looking their best and you want to wear something to keep them hydrated and nourished. If my lips get really dry and horrible, popping on some Vaseline before bed works wonders.
What is your favourite eye-catching red?
I don’t know about you but I always feel fierce when I’m rocking a red lip! If I could only pick one red lipstick to wear for the rest of my life it would be Ruby Woo by MAC. It’s a true, blue toned red which helps to make your teeth look whiter and the colour lasts all day (or night).
Best luxury and drugstore product? Also, best MAC lipstick?
I don’t own any luxury lipsticks partly because the price tag would be astronomical. It costs me $40 NZD for a MAC lipstick and if that’s not ‘luxury’ I don’t know what is!
When it comes to the drugstore, I really like Revlon’s Lip Butters. They come in lots of different colours and are so comfortable to wear. The colour can be worn lightly as a stain or built up with a few layers.
MAC lipstick wise my favourite is Syrup. Syrup is such a pretty, everyday colour that would suit just about everyone. This colour is still nude but not your usual brown-toned nude. I also think this would be a pretty lipstick to wear on a first date.
Most disappointing lip product?
BYS Pretty Little Thing. It pains me to say this as my favourite lipstick of all time is made by the same brand but they can’t all be perfect. It’s not the colour I have an issue with but when I apply this to my lips it applies patchy and doesn’t coat my lips properly. I have barely worn this lipstick as a result.
Lip liner: yes or no?
Not for me. I see the point of it but I haven’t ever felt like I need to wear it. Sometimes it’s too obvious when someone is wearing lip liner and it doesn’t look natural.
Favourite lipgloss?
In all honesty I haven’t tried a lot of lipglosses but at the moment I’m loving Rimmel’s Oh My Gloss! in the shade Glossaholic. It lasts well when I wear it to work and is a pretty, pink, everyday shade. The pink colour is more prominent in the tube than on the lips but it still looks lovely.
I’m going to leave this tag open to anyone who wants to do it as I know there are a lot of lipstick lovers out there! Thanks for reading!
That is a pretty great tag and I love your gorgeous answers. I can’t believe a MAC lipstick costs $40 in NZ. Oh my!

Thank you 🙂 $40 is cheap-ish for a lipstick, high end ones can be even more than that!

$40 NZD is roughly the equivalent to $27 USD or £19 so it’s not too much more. Syrup is one of my favourite everyday shades too x

Maybe because it has to be shipped in and the companies need to make money somehow

I also love buying lip products most. For some reason, it’s just so satisfying! I work right next to a drugstore as well so my bank account is always in danger around all those beautiful lip products. 😀
Ruby Woo looks beautiful! I think it would look stunning on you. 🙂
Lovely tag, Chanelle! xx

Yay you did the tag! I will definitely need to add Syrup to my list of MAC lipsticks to check out! I really want Ruby Woo, I may treat myself to that one later this year.

I’m constantly shocked by the cost of makeup there! I guess it’s the cost of shipping stuff over? I can’t imagine what a Tom Ford lipstick would cost there… probably over $100!
Similar to you, I never feel like I need to wear a lip liner. Although that hasn’t stopped me from buying a few of them to try out… they’re neglected.
I did this tag last year, if you’re interested in reading:

I figured it’s the shipping too that makes everything cost more. I don’t think I could spend $100 on a lipstick 😮 I’ll have a read of your tag!
