Hello everybody!
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
Today I thought I would talk about my favourite pink and red lipsticks. If you have been reading my blog posts for some time now, you will know that I am a big lover of lipsticks. Lipsticks are the one thing I cannot live without. Pinks and reds are my personal favourites and I have several of them in various shades. So I was just going through them yesterday, picking out the recent buys and the older ones when I realized that there are 6 shades in my collection which are my absolute favourites.
So I decided I would share it with you guys! So if you’d like to know more about my favourites, then keep on reading!
No. 1: Chanel Rouge Allure in #14 Passion-
This was a present from my mum on my 18th birthday and it tops my list! This is the only Chanel lipstick I have and as you can already imagine, it is very special to me. It a classic scarlet red which reminds me of the lipstick Vivien Leigh wore in her portrayal as Scarlett O’Hara in Gone With The Wind.
I also love its packaging; a golden body enclosed in a black tube. I love the way it opens, by pushing at the golden base. As you can say from the pictures, I wore it a lot! I literally wore it for an entire year! I was so in love with it.
No. 2: Lakme Absolute Lip Tint Matte in Pink Fantasy-
This shade of lipstick is actually quite common and I have a few more of these from other brands. This shade is very easily available and from various brands. It is a pretty pink shade and it has medium to full coverage. It is very lightweight and matte. You know mamma loves matte lipsticks! 😉 For me one swipe is good enough to get that perfect shade and I love wearing it.
No. 3: The Body Shop #125-
This is a very recent purchase but since it made it to the top 3, I guess you can pretty much assume how lovely it is! If you read my previous post on The Body Shop Hand Creams, you know how much I love The Body Shop and when I saw this shade in the store, I knew I had to get it and I did. It is a brick red shade and it provides medium to buildable colour. Since I tend to stick with neutral eye shadow shades, I amplify the look with dark lip colours. The colour really suits me and if you love brick red shades, do give it a try!
No. 4: Lakme Absolute Lip Tint Matte in Magenta Magic-
3 out of 6 lipsticks here are from Lakme and that is because I have been very much in love with the brand for the past couple of months. Lakme is a very old cosmetics company in India and my mum always uses their products. I didn’t use their products much before but after I tried on their CC cream and found it amazing, I explored some of their products and I loved it. Their products are very good and so pigmented. Magenta Magic is a whole lot darker than Pink Fantasy and has a good squeeze of dark pinks and purples in it. Pink Fantasy is a lot lighter than it.
No. 5: Lakme Absolute Matte in Classic Rose-
I saw my mum using this colour and I was like, “Ooo! That is a pretty shade, what is it?” and she replied, “Oh you know Classic Rose from Lakme. You got it for me, don’t you remember?” and I could swear I heard a cricket cry as I stared blankly at her. I had completely forgotten about and the shade. And when I saw it I was like, “Yep, I need to go and get one for myself!” It is a very dark brownish red shade which is so lightweight and absolutely matte! Angels go AAAHHHHH!!! Well… I went AAAHHHH!!! It is perfect for the evenings or for festivities. I love it so darn much!
No. 6: Maybelline Bold Matte by Colorsensational in MAT 1-
It is a very bright neon pink shade and it is such a fun colour! Sometimes I just pop this in my lips and it immediately brightens up the face. I don’t even require additional makeup items to accompany this shade. Just a light swipe of this shade on my lips and I am good to go! It is matte and can be a little drying which is why I always hydrate and moisturize my lips with a lip balm before applying this.
So there you go! I hope you liked my post on my top red and pink lipsticks! Do let me know if you have any other suggestions on lipstick shades or if you have used any of the above or similar ones!
Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you guys soon!
Bye!
