Top lip colours for winter

Top lip colours for winter

Hi beauties!

So in New Zealand winter is coming up, and I thought I would share my top 5 lip colours for the winter, including a mix of some darker berry reds, and some pinky nudes, as well as lipsticks and lip glosses, just to mix it up a bit. 

First up is a beautiful nudey pink, thats a bit your-lips-but-better. This is Gerard Cosmetics in buttercup, and I am super in love with colour and wear it most days. Its also one of those colours you don't have to worry about going everywhere. The photo is not really true to colour, making it seem a lot more orange.

 This next lipstick is Mac pink plaid in a matte formula, and my absolute go to lipstick. it's perfect to dress up a look a little, but its still really natural looking, and does not budge. 

 Another Gerard cosmetics, but this time it's the Kylie Jenner lip colour, 1995. I am a huge fan of Jaclyn Hill, and love this colour. I think the one I received is a bit darker than it is supposed to be, but I love it for a deeper winter lip look. 

 Next up is a lipgloss, which I have just recently discovered and am in love with. This is Rimmel London Provocolips. It has the gloss at one end, which is a beautiful shade, and a lock and shine gel on the other end. now i'm not usually a fan of glosses but this gel makes the gloss dry like a lipstick while feeling really secure but not drying in the least. It actually feels super light-weight on the lips and is AMAZING. I totally recommend this lip gloss. 

 Another Rimmel London gloss, and this colour is to die for. the perfect winter red lip, its the Apocolips in 400 'big bang'. the colour is amazingly opaque, true to form, and really moisturising and hydrating for the lips which is a must have in winter.

These lip colours are wearable for every season, not just winter!

Thanks for reading!

Love Becca

Gerard Cosmetics, 1995 lipstick by Jaclyn Hill

"Help! I have money for another beauty product I must have, but I just don't know what to buy!" I here you say? 

Not to worry, I present to you the xo Beauty lashes and Gerard Cosmetics lipstick.

I recently purchased myself a pair of the "Romantic" false lashes for a bargain $6. 99NZD, along with the Duo false eyelash glue for $12. 00NZD, which is an investment, I assure you. To start with the glue, I purchased it in dark but I do recommend the clear for less of a mess, and less need for two- inch eyeliner ;) However, the tube comes with a very generous amount of glue that will last you awhile.

I also really love these lashes as they have a clear, comfortable band, and are lovely and soft, comfortable and are made of real hair. Now, if you are not after the dramatic and rather 'showy' looking eye, I would recommend another type of lash as I found the "romantic" a bit too much for  daytime time wear, but other than that I have no complaints. 

These lashes are designed by New Zealander, and you tuber Shannon Harris (Shaaanxo), so it's always good to support a local, plus it means cheaper shipping of $4NZD.

Another purchase which just arrived is my Gerard Cosmetics 1995 lipstick by Jaclyn Hill, which I picked up from whitening lightening for I believe $20USD. This lipstick is described as the 'Kylie Jenner' lip colour, and I have to say this is very true to form. While appearing a slightly darker shade of red than I imagined, i still love this colour and its perfect for winter/autumn and those colder months, or a dark berry summer lip (if thats what your feeling).  The formula for this lipstick is creamy smooth, and rather moisturising. It also comes in the most gorgeous gold tube, a total must have!

Once again, thanks for reading!
