valentines picks for irresistable lips!

It's that time of year again... the time that has us all feeling flirtatious! whether your single and loving it or loved up and adorable Love is on every ones mind. I think everyone will agree that when it comes to your make up regime on valentines day everyone wants gorgeous inviting lips, even if your just spending the night in watching chick flicks and lip syncing to Celine Dion, a tradition in my household regardless of the wonderful and long suffering boyfriend (it's o.k, he has earplugs)


So, above I have picked my favourites to cover any look you will be sporting on the big day/night. Left to Right - L'Oreal Color Riche Julianne's pure red, Rimmel lasting finish by Kate lipstick in shade 30, Mac Lipstick in Creme cup, L'Oreal Paris Rouge infallible Lip liner in always toasted, Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in LA exclusive.

I love this red as it is so unique, its like no other red I own and is like a real cherry pinky coral toned red. I think L'Oreal Color Riche Julianne's pure red is most flattering on pale skin tones and it is super comfortable and long wearing. this one comes in at £6.99 here

 

The thing that I love most about this line of lipsticks is the smell. These actually smell like berries, which is very fitting with the shade of  Rimmel lasting finish by Kate lipstick in shade 30. I had to have one berry toned red in the line up and this is a great one. Its quite moisturising on the lips but isn't as last longing as the loreal one so I usually team this with a liner. This one is £5.49 here

 

This was my first Mac lipstick and the reason I got this is as it is so wearable for day or evening paired with a smokey eye. Its a blue toned pink so it is super flattering and makes your teeth look whiter and is so girly. Ive been wearing Mac Lipstick in Creme cup a lot and I sometimes pair it with the liner featured next. This one is the most expensive at £15.50 and is available here

 

I have never really been into lip liners until recently as it always bought back images of dodgy darker liner than the lipstick lips of the 90's but when applied all over the lips, you achieve a really on trend matte finish and this liner is such a pretty dusky pink colour. I like to wear L'Oreal Paris Rouge infallible Lip liner in always toasted on its own some days and it really has the staying power so is perfect for dinner dates. I also like to add creme cup just in the centre of my lips for a fuller pretty look. This liner is £5.19 here

 

 

If you've been following me, you may remember I reviewed this lip stain here when they first came out. This is such a candy coloured Barbie pink and you can really build up the colour which makes it a great day to night option. Revlon Colorstay Moisture Stain in LA exclusive looks great if you have blue eyes, it really brings out the colour. This comes in at £7.99 and is available here

 

 

Its also really important to keep lips in tip top condition especially if you are going for a matte look. Also if you are going for a more dramatic eye you may opt to just go for a lip balm too. Here are three of my favourites and I've included Vaselines rosy lips which is tinted, carmex which is my favourite for really conditioning the lips and I also have a balmi in coconut flavour which has the best flavour.
