Orange Lipstick Collection

Hello beautiful people;

"when life gives you lemons, apply more lipstick!"

This time last year I would not of dared to even consider wearing an orange lipstick, let alone owning one. How times can change! 

Here is my very small orange lipstick collection!

Vegas Volt by Mac is a very peachy toned orange and it's something I can only ever wear with a tan!

Wet N Wild honestly do the best cheap lipsticks ever, and 24 Carrot Gold is just insanely good. I love everything about it and it's for sure a great dupe for Mac's Saigon Summer.

The holy grail of orange lipsticks! Summer wouldn't be possible without this Mac lipstick.

I am such a make up snob and I definitely never thought I'd love a Rimmel lipstick as much as I love this one. The opacity takes a while to build but the colour and finish are wonderful.

Do you have a favourite orange lipstick?

lots of love, effstarbeauty xoxo

Nude Lipstick Collection

Hello beautiful people;

"On a bad day there is always lipstick"

So today's post is all about nude lipsticks, which is my favourite look to rock during the summer months. I love the effortlessly glam look it creates without looking too much.

Wearing a nude lipstick just doesn't sit right with some people, nude doesn't mean you'll look like you've got foundation on your lips - come on now, we've all done it! - it's about finding a neutral shade that complements your complexion and natural lip colour.

This is an extremely MAC heavy post, but well ya'll knew it would be anyway!

Mac Honey Love - warm brown toned pink with a matte finish
Mac Velvet Teddy - warm toned brown with a matte finish

Mac Blankety - pink toned brown with a amplified finish
Nars Pago Pago - warm brown tone with slight shimmer and a frost finish
Mac Myth - peach toned flesh colour with a satin finish

Wet N Wild Bare it All - warm toned brown with a matte finish
Mac Nude (RiRi Holiday Collection) - true blue toned brown with a matte finish (limited edition)
Mac Brave - pink toned flesh shade with a satin finish

Whilst swatching I realised how much Bare It All is a dupe for Velvet Teddy! A much cheaper version but the quality of the Wet N Wild lipsticks is incredible. I buy mine for around £1.50 off BeautyJoint!

My favourite Nude lipstick is Myth, which wont be a surprise to anyone that knows me!
What's your favourite Nude lipstick?
Hope you enjoyed this post!
