The Lip Product Addict Tag

Hey everyone!

I've recently seen quite a lot of youtubers/bloggers do 'The Lip Product Addict Tag', so i decided to give it a shot! Sorry for the lack of posts recently, it's finally University break and i've been going out pretty much everyday, but i promise i'll make it up to you guys!

1. Favourite balm/treatment?
To be entirely honest, i haven't found a lip balm which i absolutely love 100%. I've tried many lip products such as EOS lip balms, Maybelline Babylips, Carmex, Vaseline, Nivea lip butters, but i think my favourite one so far is the Natio Lip Balm with SPF30+. It moisturises my cracks lips without being overly sticky, and i love how it doesn't have a scent/smell. I absolutely hate lip balms which smell 'nice' as i end up licking them off my lips! An added bonus is that it contains SPF30+.

2. Best eye catching red?
Recently on my trip to Hong Kong, i purchased Russian Red by MAC. I've heard so much good reviews about this product and i understand why! It's the classic red lipstick which every girl must have in their make up collection! Although it has a matte formula, it's not as drying as other matte lipsticks. It also makes your teeth look extra white and clean!

3. Best luxury and best drugstore?
I have a few lipsticks which are more luxurious than MAC lipsticks (e.g. YSL), but nothing beats MAC's Plumful in the winter months! It's an absolutely gorgeous wearable plum shade lipstick and perfect to wear in winter! My best drugstore lip product would have to be Maybelline's Colour Sensational Lipstick in Shocking Coral. I absolutely love the formula and the colour of this lipstick! It glides on so smoothly, but dries to a semi-matte finish which isn't drying at all!

4. Best MAC lipstick?
I would've said MAC's Plumful in the colder months, but since i already mentioned that above, i would have to say MAC's See Sheer. It's a wearable everyday coral colour for any month of the year!

5. The most disappointing?
Definitely the Revlon Lip Butters. I've tried five different shades to see if they had a different texture/formula, but nope, i hated them all. I have really dry/cracked lips and whenever i wore these lipsticks, it would sink into my cracks within minutes and it looks hideous. I've tried apply a lip balm underneath but it didn't make much of a difference.

6. Liner - Yes or no?
I have several lip liners in my collection, but to be honest, i've rarely ever used them. I guess i'm just too lazy to line my lips before applying lipstick. I have a few from Essence and some Asian brands like Etude House and they're alright.

7. The best gloss?
I don't use lip gloss as i have long hair and whenever the wind blows, hair gets all over my face and in my mouth. I already hate the feeling of sticky lips and the thought of hair sticking on sticky lips is unpleasant.

8. Something extra?
I've really enjoyed using MAC's Crosswires in the Autumn months. It's looks very similar to MAC's See Sheer in the tube, but when swatched, it's actually slightly more pigmented and has a pinky/red tone rather than a coral/orange.

I hope you've enjoyed this tag and they'll be more blog posts to come, i promise!
