All About My Lipsticks: Lipstick collection, favorite lipsticks and lipstick tag!

I’m not a lipstick person, in fact, I can definitely go out without wearing one. However, due to my journey of finding “THE ONE” for me, I ended up having more than what I needed in my life! Hahaha!

So far, I have 44 lipsticks (lipglosses, lipbalm, lip palette not included in the counting, except for Careline Lipglosses since I consider them liquid lipstick rather than Lipglosses).

If you found a lipstick that you’re interested in the list and you want me to review it, just comment below. But please, I need more time to do so (since I'm so busy with my review for board exam).

I know other bloggers have more lipsticks than I have, however, I feel like this is already too much for me. Believe me; I’m trying my best not to purchase another lipstick/s until I’m done with my favorite lipsticks.

From 44 lipsticks, I will show you my top 10 favorites

Nyx Rls in Tea Rose | Rimmel Moisture Renew in Pink Chic | Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream in Addis Ababa | Maybelline Colorsensational in Park Peach Avenue | Covergirl Lip Perfection in Heavenly | Ever Bilena Matte Lpstck in Pink Flame | Mac Lpstck in Ravishing | Mac Pink Nouveau | Mac Lipstick in Cosmo | Etude House Lipstick in Chic Beige

NOTE:
LIP SWATCHES PROVIDED SEEMS A LITTLE LIGHTER IN REAL LIFE DUE TO THE LIGHTING CONDITION. I TOOK THE LIP SWATCHES AROUND 7-8:00am
TO SELLERS, YOU MAY USE THE PICTURES BELOW BUT PLEASE PROVIDE A LINK BACK. I WORKED HARD FOR THOSE PICTURES. NOT ALL BLOGGERS WILL ALLOW YOU TO USE THEIR PICTURES SO PLEASE GIVE CREDIT TO MY BLOG AT LEAST :)

TAG QUESTIONS: LIPSTICK TAG

(1) When you were a child, did you use your mother's lipsticks?
Yes, I use my mom’s and sisters’ lipsticks when I was a child.

Trivia: I never had my “own” lipstick until I was in college. I started collecting my “own” lipsticks just few months before I started blogging (fyi, I started blogging on October 2010).

(2) How old were you when you bought your first lipstick?

I was 18 years old when I purchased my very own lipstick. Before, I just borrow lipsticks from my sisters. However, I use (my very own) lipglosses when I was in highschool to early college years.

(3) Pink or red lipstick?

I don’t wear Red lipsticks so it’s definitely Pink

(4) The most expensive lipstick you have ever bought?

MAC lipsticks --- would probably the most expensive lipsticks I purchased so far using my own money.

(5) And the cheapest?

Careline Lipglosses --- I consider them as lipsticks, not lipglosses. These were just Php 60/tube, amazing for the price.

(6) What's the most bizarre thing you have ever done with a lipstick?

None? I can’t think of any. Hahaha! I just use lipstick on my lips and cheeks(sometimes).Haven’t tried anything weird with lipsticks.

(7) If you had to recommend a lipstick, which brand would you recommend and why?

If you’re looking for wide range colors:

Splurge: I would definitely recommend Mac Lipsticks!

Save: Nyx Roundlipsticks .I like how creamy their lipsticks are and Nyx has amazing range of shades for round lipsticks. However, these were not long lasting on lips plus very cheap packaging!

Formulation-wise:

I highly recommend Mac Lipstick, Covergirl Lip Perfection and Maybelline Colorsensational (USA version).

Long-wearing:

Nyx Soft MATTE lip cream stays on amazingly on my lips! (However, very limited colors)

(8) Favorite Pink Lipstick

For bright lipstick: Mac Pink Nouveau

For wearable pink: Nyx Lipstick in Tea Rose

(9) Favorite Nude:

Mac Lipstick in Cherish, Careline Lipgloss in 101 and Etude House Lipstick in Chic Beige

Maybelline Colorsensational lipstick in Park Peach Avenue;p

TAG: MY MAKEUP STORY

I know, I just did my first ever tag post and here i am doing it again. Sorry but at least this is makeup-related thing. (A+ for my excuse!)

I saw this tag on Bubzbeauty’s Channel. I thought it would be fun to share with you ladies my makeup story.

Let’s start!

1. How old were you when you started wearing makeup?

I’m not really sure but I think it’s on my cousin’s wedding. I was one of the flower girls during her wedding.

2. How did you get into makeup?

At first, it was just to get rid of oily skin. I was on my 4^th yr highschool when I started wearing pressed powder. Then I went on college and started to wear blush-on, eyeliners, mascaras, concealers and lipstick but it was pretty much natural-looking. I only got interested with makeup just last year when I started learning about youtube and makeup blogging. I was greatly inspired by makeup bloggers and started creating my own beauty blog last October 2010. From there, everything else just happened. I learned the proper ways of applying makeup and doing eyebrows. But just recently, this year 2011, I tried experimenting more and started learning about eyeshadows.

3. What are some of your favorite brands?

The first brand I fell inlove with is Elf cosmetics. They’re cheap but works well for me. Other brands that I just recently discovered were: Maybelline, Ever Bilena, In2it, Nyx, Revlon and Wet n Wild.

4. If you could only wear 4 products on your face what would they be?

Foundation, concealer, eyebrow pencil and lip balm.

5. What does makeup mean to you?

For me as woman, appearance is very important.It is important to look presentable at all times. When you feel more beautiful, you feel more confident. It helps you boosts your self-confidence because it covers your imperfections. Makeup does not only cover imperfections but also helps women to enhance what they already have.

6. What is your favorite thing about makeup?

You can turn yourself into whoever you want to be. A Disney princess, rockstar, a diva, a character from your favourite anime or the likes

7. What do you think about drugstore makeup vs. high end makeup?

High end products are great if you’re good enough to afford it. If not, drugstore products are great alternatives. But i wouldn’t say that high ends product are always better than drugstore ones. There are good and bad in both of them.

8. What is one tip of advice you can give to a beginner?

I would consider myself a beginner also since I’m not really an expert. I’m not really into makeup world; I never had any makeup related jobs except for doing makeover for my friends and family.

But if I’m an expert I would probably advice to keep on practicing. I’m a strong believer of this famous line, “practice makes perfect.” Nobody starts from best.

Also, Youtube videos and reading blogs will help alot in improving your skills. But remember, what works for the others may not work for you so try practicing and experimenting other ways on applying makeup. Who knows, you might find the best trick that will works best for you.

9. What is one make up trend you've never understood?

Leopard prints on lips. Don’t get me wrong. But I don’t think it looks good.

10. What do you think about the beauty community on YouTube?

Totally awesome.

· -No need to enrol for makeup classes in order to learn about doing makeup. Makeup classes are expensive nowadays.

· -More options, more tricks, more techniques and more tips!

· -Reviews and product dupes help me save alot of money

· - They inspires me! Hope i could be as good as them in the future.

I love BAGS

That's only 1 photo of a bag but I do have alot of bags. Some branded, mostly are not. I have different kinds of bags like backpack, shoulder bag, handy bag, small bags, etc. I just love them. Truth is I don't really care if it's branded or not. When I want the design, I want it.

DOGS AND TWO RABBITS

We don't have alot pets at home but I love them all! I love seeing them every morning walking around. They're the cutest! :)

I love CHOCOLATES
