Top 10 Favourite Lipstick (from 2014)

Hi everyone, this will be my very first post for this blog. And let's make it simple! Straight forward to the topic, I want to share what are the best lipstick that I've ever had in my entire life! Lipstick is the main key for my whole look and make up. Lipstick performs my face the way I want it. And lipsticks are fun, have so many shades and variations, colourful and full of life :D

So let us start with the first one, this will be my MIGHTY favorite one.

1. MAC Kinda Sexy (matte)

This is by far the longest (8 years and counting) lipstick I have ever use since forever. The texture is basically matte with also matte result but I love how it has a full coverage unlike other MAC nude lipstick with sheer result. It has coral with yellow undertone, most likely nude, and blends very well with any other lipstick. I have mixed Kinda Sexy with a lot of liquid lips or other matte lipstick from other brands. I can't find anything works better like Kinda Sexy! Love love!

2. Limecrime Opaque Unicorn Babette (matte).

Limecrime is my most favourite brand for their cruelty-free lipstick products. I might not be as loyal as those vegan-consumers which I still brag about my MAC or Makeup Forever but honestly though I am also trying to learn more about this controversy. Despite all that, I am soooooo very much in love with Limecrime lipstick and Babette is on my top of the list from their collection. I love the coral nude pinkish undertone works so damn well on my skin. I love how it stained even after a bowl of Ramen. I love how fresh the colour to match my favourite season, SUMMER! I completely in love with Babette and I had repurchased Babette twice from last year and I will always keep it in stock!

Softlense looks pretty insane though lol

3. Limecrime Velvetines Red Velvet (matte - full coverage)

This is the craziest yet most amazing liquid lipstick with the perfect red just for any skin tones. It is CRAZY, isn't it?!! You have to apply it carefully though, because once it applied, it'll be hard to remove it. It also dries quickly so make sure you have your lip being moisturized enough before you apply it. And also it will be great to prepare some corrector to define the perfect line. The using of lipliner is also functional, so you might want to check NYX/MAC lipliner to handle this situation. 

Perfect lipliner will create the perfect frame for your lips and the result will be unbelievably gorgeous!

I love how I match the red lips with blonde brows..

4. Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick Jeffree (matte - full coverage)

This liquid lipstick is PERFECTION! I love Kat Von D and all her passion in art, tattoos, make up and pretty much everything that she does. She brings "Swag" to whole another level. She is so edgy and so does her art. This liquid lipstick surprisingly has a super girly result. Works great on my lip and matches my skin like match made in heaven. I am pretty popular for being basically a nude/coral kind of girl. Hahaha! I am not denying anything but coral/nude is really my thang! This JEFFREE shade also has a powerful long-stay-ish. It stands through my lunch and dinner. And only need a little touch up on my inner lips (gotta blame the steak tho hahaha!) after the lunch. A must have! A must try!

5. Limecrime Opaque Lipstick Unicorn Geradium (matte)

Pink is the best! Pink is life! I remember last year when the first time I purchased this lipstick, my first impression after tried it out was like "OKAY I AM GOING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE IMMEDIATELY!" hahahaha.. That is just who I am, whenever I feel like I find my holy grail product, I just have to buy an extra immediately. Geradium will always be my favourite! When you apply it, it has beautiful pigmented pink, not dusty nor sheer, but fully pink coverage on your lips. But after lunch and dinner, it will leave beautiful berry-stain. It is so beautiful, I swear! I also always keep Geradium on my touch-up pouch that I carry around everyday with me. My instant go-to lipstick!

I believe I mixed Geradium + Kinda Sexy here..

6. Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lips Retro Coral (matte - full coverage)

So bear with me here, please take a consideration that I am a nude/coral kind of girl. So when it comes to coral lipstick, I just can't help it. I get easily drawn to the obsession especially when Anastasia Beverly Hills announced the launch of this liquid lipstick collection on her instagram @anastasiabeverlyhills. I WENT BANANAS! And it is haaarrddd for me as Indonesian to grab this product as soon as it launched. I have to build extra patience because it'll take months to get them babies landed here safely. So after a very long waiting, finally I grabbed them beautiful babies! HOORAAAHHHHHH!! And they are exactly as I expected. The packaging is so beautiful, soft brush, and quickly dries to matte, it stays long and the variation of the shades is so wide! I love you ABH I really doooo!

Seriously, it is soooo purrty!

7. Stila Cosmetics Liquid Lips Fiery (matte - full coverage)

This one is pretty tricky but I gotta say that the colour is too pretty to even exists. But I hate how it got so clumpy after hours. It really does stay forever though but it gives a funny taste on my lips. And when it gets too dry, the texture of your lips will turn to cracks. Ugly, right? But I still vote this lipstick as my top 10 fave just because I love how it looks on my lips. I just have to maintain it moisturised by taking the right balm and drink lots of water hahaha.. Sike.

Come on... Look at that beautiful brick red!

 8. TooFaced Melted Lipstick Coral (matte - medium coverage)

The Melted series by far are what I admired the most from TooFaced (besides their Chocolate Bar Palette that I can't live without!). But to be precise, I like Coral (again... really aya?) that suits me the best! I tried nude once but hell naahhhh, I couldn't rock nude as much as Coral. But I'm also curious to try the Candy one. From what I browse, Candy might be perfect for me too. You know that I told you "PINK IS LIFE" right? Coral also impressed me because it has a great coverage but I gotta say, it didn't stay long nor stained. So I need a lot of touch-up when I wear Melted Coral. But the colour is just everything. Just perfection.

Coral is the best match for my skin!

9. NYX soft matte lip cream Antwerp (matte - medium coverage)

Finally some cheap lipstick! I loveeeeee NYX for their quality with that price, that is just amazing! NYX SMLC has so many shades but Antwerp is definitely my most favourite. I wear Antwerp for my daily look, to campus or just around the neighbourhood to do some grocery shopping hahaha.. Antwerp is cute, adorable and such a girly shade. The thing with NYX SMLC is that you keep having this situation where you thought that the lipstick ran out after a month already. The fact is : NO THEY DON'T. The complexion of the butter texture makes it as if the lipstick gone already. You just have to re-dip the brush over and over to mix the buttery texture until it is even out. Afterall, Price does not lie...

10. Limecrime Velvetines Cashmere (matte - full coverage)

And at last, this is the new comer on my makeup stash. Cashmere is one of the most unique lipstick shade that I ever own! It looks grey-ish with a dusty matte finish. I love Cashmere because this shade looks so edgy and different. The thing is that not everybody can pull this look. For some people, dark undertone, they will look so pale, that is why they need solid base to create Cashmere in a perfect form. I am so thankful that I look normal in this shade hahaha! Even though my husband was pretty awkward when he saw it at the first time but finally now he get used to it. Cashmere and ABH Pure Hollywood are very much alike but I have to prefer Cashmere better. The formula is sooo different, all Limecrime Velvetines are still my champs compare to some other liquid lips.

Ash-Grey-Dusty you name it! I love it!
