My Top 5 High End Lipsticks

Hi girls!

This morning, I was texted by a good friend and she requested me to do a post on my favourite lipsticks, lip balms and lip glosses. So what I am going to do is sort of do a lip post series where I will be talking about my top 5 high end and drugstore brands lipsticks, lip balms and lip glosses. 

So let's just get to it. Ive done swatches on the lips and for reference,  I am an NW20 in MAC and I want to show you how the colours look like against my skin tone. 

Top 5 High End Lipsticks

**Please note that I am wearing the lipsticks on their own, no lip balm or any base underneath and no foundation or whatsoever to bring out the colours.**

1. YSL Rouge Volupte in 23 Luscious Pink

I love YSL lipsticks, they are very expensive but then again you are paying for the quality of the lipsticks, not just the brand. They go on smoothly and they are the most buttery lipsticks that I have ever tried! They make my lips look fuller (no lip liner needed) which I always aim for, and what's nice is the staying power is quite decent. Nothing like the Lime Crime Velvetines but then again, you get a good 3-4 hours of wear as it leaves a stain on the lips when wiped. I love them so much that I don't mind the hefty price tag. I do have other colours besides Luscious Pink but I find myself reaching for this more often. 

Where you can get this? Saks Fifth Avenue (They ship to Brunei)

For how much? USD 36 (approximately BND 49)

2. Dior Addict Lipstick in 578 Dior Kiss

My first love! I saw the girl in the Dior ad wearing this lipstick and I remembered immediately asking the sales assistant what shade the model was wearing and she gave me the sample of this. Refusing to test the colour in store, I told her I wanted the lipstick as well as the matching lipgloss and I definitely did not regret! A beautiful glossy toned down barbie pink that gives life to a simple look!

Where you can get this? Saks Fifth Avenue (They ship to Brunei)

For how much? USD 33 (approximately BND 45)

3. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Rivage

This is an awesome lipstick with an amazing formulation. It is moisturising and buttery but the downside is the staying power. You need to keep reapplying this. It does not leave a stain like the YSL rouge voluptes do but nevertheless, I do love this shade whenever I want to go for a pinkish nude lips.

Where you can get this? Any nearest Parkson Malaysia or any Sephora 

For how much? RM90 (approximately BND 38)

4. MAC Lipstick in Viva Glam 1

This is my go to red whenever I am feeling bold. It is a matte finish and it can be a tad bit drying but you can always wear a lip balm underneath. I don't like glossy reds as they are not flattering on my skin tone but deep reds like this, especially when it is matte, can never go wrong for me. LOVE THIS!

Where you can get this? Any MAC stores

For how much? RM 70 excluding GST (approximately BND 30)

5. Tarte Lip Surgence Matte Lip Tint in Envy

I call this my "working lipstick". For work, I sometimes want to use a bit of a lip colour just to give life to my tired face (lol!) and I find myself reaching for this often. It has a minty scent which I like and a tingling sensation to the lips but nothing crazy. It is not a lip plumper but somehow it gives you that nice pout on the lips which I adore. Envy is one of the many colours I like from the Tarte Matte Lip Surgence line. But I do need another Envy as I am running out with mine!

Where you can get this? Zalora (They ship to Brunei)

For how much? RM 90 excluding GST (approximately BND 38)

So I hope you find this helpful. Stay tuned for another of my lip series post, next will be my top 5 drugstore lipsticks! I also want to give a shoutout to my friend who requested this post, you know who you are! Thank you for reading and supporting me with my blog. Xx
