Did you know yesterday, 29th July, was National Lipstick Day? Me neither! Anyhow, every day is lipstick day for me, so I didn't miss out.
My all time favourite lipstick was MAC's Fresco. A soft rose colour, that made my lips just a little darker than their normal colour. Perfect. I've tried more deeper red tones but find those colours look to 'obvious' for my liking - although I do love the look on other women. I wore Fresco for years and even on my wedding day. But back in 2007 it was discontinued. Nooooooo! Luckily I had an extra one hidden away but that didn't last beyond another few months and then Fresco was no more.
And so after trying out a few more different colours, I eventually found another that was to become a staple in my make-up bag. Beach Coral by Clinique. I'm pretty much a creature of habit (apart from a BIG shake up every few years - like moving continents!!), and so Beach Coral (like Fresco) stayed with me for 4 years or so. And now much to my horror whilst out shopping for a replacement recently I found that it is no longer available. And its not even available on the Estee Lauder '
GoneButNotForgotton' website. Whaaaat!!! So once again I'm sampling new shades to find a future favourite.
When I do find it, I should probably stock up on a lifetime's supply shouldn't I?!
Do you have a favourite brand or shade?
I was liking that Clinique one so gutted when I read they had discontinued! I change all the time and don't have one particular favourite.
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't know & that first photo is great. I'm not a big lipstick wearer, I prefer a tinted balm myself but then I'm quite low-maintenance when it comes to makeup.
ReplyDeleteI love buying lipsticks but never seem to wear them. After a few years, they end up pretty much unused in the bin :-(
ReplyDeleteLip gloss though really works for me. There is a new one by Clarins - smell is divine and it doesn't dry the lips out.
i dont wear lipstick... i might put on some gloss for a special occasion but that is about it.
ReplyDeletebtw i am hosting a giveaway ... would love for you to join in.
I hate when I fall in love with a lipstick and then they discontinue it. I have been wearing more lipgloss these days than lipstick.
ReplyDeleteMAC has great lipstick colors, don't they. I recently bought Lady Danger, a vibrant orange-red matte color.
