The Lip Product Tag | Beauty

A few days ago the lovely Yana tagged me to do the "Lip Product Tag" - if you've been reading my blog for a while, you might have realised that I have a serious weakness for lippies. They're my all time favorite beauty products and I will never stop adding more of them to my already huge collection.
Due to my undying love for anything lip-related, I've been really looking forward to writing this post - so let's just get into the questions!


1. What is your favorite lip balm or treatment?

I have pretty sensitive lips that chap really easily, so I try to make an effort to look after them as much as possible. As much as I love my EOS lip balm, Blistex's 'Lip Relief Cream' works wonders on my lips when they're worn out, it feels so calming on them.
I'm also looking to add a lip scrub to my lip care routine soon, so if any of you have one you particularly like, let me know in the comments!

2. What is your favorite eye-catching red?

I'm very pale so I usually avoid wearing red shades because they often wash me out and leave me looking like a vampire, but when I'm feeling a little braver I always go with the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick in '107', which is actually not a true red but more of a dark red with berry undertones - still pretty intimidating to me, though, so I definitely need to be in the mood for it!

3. Best luxury and drugstore product? Also, best MAC lipstick?

If you're looking for great quality drugstore lipsticks, KIKO and Rimmel are a good place to start - my two favorite drugstore lippies are KIKO's Velvet Mat-Satin Lipstick in '602 Natural Rose' and Rimmel's Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick in '03 My Cool Nude'.
My favorite high-end lipsticks also happen to be MAC lipsticks - I just have to name two because chosing one over the other is absolutely impossible - and those are 'Viva Glam II' and 'Velvet Teddy', both of which are lovely nude shades I've had on rotation for a while now.

4. Most dissapointing lip product?

Much like Yana, I don't think I've ever tried a lip product I truly hated. Sure, there has been the odd lippie that I didn't particularly love, but no exceptionally bad ones. Except for all of my Mom's lipglosses which I used to snatch from her - and then put them back because I could just not deal with them.

5. Lip liner: yes or no?

A definite yes for me! I know that a lot of people can't be bothered with using lip liner, but I actually take my time to apply it on an every day basis. I feel like while you're not wasting a lot of time on applying it, it rounds of your lip look a lot!
Not to mentioned that I sometimes like to wear lip liners on their own because some shades are too pretty to be worn under lipsticks.

6. Favorite lipgloss?

I'm not big on lipgloss, up until a few weeks ago I actually really disliked it because most lipglosses are so impractical to wear, especially when you have long hair.
Then I discovered Essence's XXL Long Lasting Lipgloss Matt Effect and it really changed the game for me! As they dry to a matte finish, they feel more like a lipstick on the lips, meaning that they don't leave your lips feeling all sticky and that you don't get your hair stuck to your lips every 30 seconds. I especially adore the shade '06 soft nude', which I even reviewed here.
