L'Paige Aloe Vera Lipstick

Hello there, how are you?
Today I wanted to share with you my new favourite Lipstick.
It is by the brand L'Paige and the colour I have is #21 Electric Fuchsia.

The special thing about this lipstick is that the key ingredient is Aloe Vera and Beeswax, making it really moisturising, long lasting and good for your skin!
Something that I wasn't aware of was that there is a lot of lead, aluminium, tin and petroleum in Lipsticks ... which when you think about it your actually eating off some of your lipstick during the day, kinda a creepy thought right? I am not one to read the ingredients list on my makeup and look up what all the 17 letter words actually are; I tend to go with a
'if it doesn't break me out, make my skin oily and it looks ok, then a-ok'

My Mum was actually the one to find this Lipstick brand at a store in Western Australia and she found them online so I purchased a few for her Birthday and picked one up for myself to see how I found it. I am obsessed with Aloe Vera, I drink the stuff, I use it on the daily in summer so I thought hey having it in lipstick form could be another addiction for me too! I also sadly have very dry lips so I need creamy lipstick formulas to avoid that whole colour clinging to dry bits, horrible look that can come with some lipsticks.

It is safe to say I am in love with this lipstick! It has such good pigmentation, is a unique colour in itself (I don't own anything quite like it), it is creamy in texture and lasts for AGES! It slowly wears off in a way that by the time you feel the need to re-apply it just looks like you have a light tint on, it doesn't fade off in blotches or anything like that.
Most defiantly will be looking into getting a few more of these, I love that they are so pigmented and made up of products that are not going to do any damage to you!

Holiday Beauty: go to lips


Hello everyone,
As you have seen from a few of my most recent posts I have been on a holiday.
Whilst trying to pick what to pack makeup wise, I thought I would snap a few picks of what lip products I decided to take.
~
I think overall I picked a good selection, next time I think I would also throw in a bright coral - Mac Vegas Volt springs to mind.





L-R:
Revlon Color Burst in True Red: LINK!
Maybelline 235 Warm Me Up: LINK!
Mac Girl About Town: LINK!
Mac Shy Girl: LINK!
Mac Chatterbox: LINK!




The Revlon Red lip was perfect for one of our dressy nights out for dinner, the Maybelline is really that 'my lips but better' colour so it suited the plane trip to a T, Macs bright pink was perfect for nights out, Macs Shy Girl is my holy grail nude colour and suits almost every occasion - I wore it mostly during the day and finally Macs chatterbox is the perfect pink, just the right shade so that it isn’t too overboard.





Overall I was happy with what I picked, I didn’t actually wear them all too much as I was on the beach all day everyday (ahhh the beach), so lip balm with sunscreen in it was much more used than anything! But I think for a non beach holiday, this selection would keep you covered no matter what outfit or situation!

What do you pack lips wise on holidays?
