Lipstick is my favourite makeup item. In 2015 I bought way too many lipsticks and loved way too many formulations, but today I'm going to show you a selection of the best ones that I tried.
Urban Decay Revolution Lipsticks
I'm not the biggest fan of lipsticks that come in a stylo bullet, but the Revolution Lipsticks are really good. I only own a couple of colors, my favourite is Turn On, which is a mauvy/pinky shade, a "my-lips-but-better" kind of shade. The darker shades are really nice too, but they go on a little bit more "glossy" for my taste, so I usually blot them or use a light translucent powder to make them more matte.
Nars Audacious Lipsticks
Probably the best lipstick I've ever tried. I only have one shade but I plan on buying more. Those lipsticks are matte but yet extremely hydrating on the lips and they last forever without fading. The shade I own is called Raquel and it's a perfect nude shade that doesn't wash me out like most nude lipsticks. The Audacious line is on the pricey side (30€ each lipstick) but they're amazing and you wont regret buying them!
Nabla Diva Crime
Probably the "drugstore" version of the Audacious lipsticks. Those lipsticks are lightweight, full coverage and completely matte on the lips. They're not drying at all and they feel velvety and comfortable after the application. I like them also because if they start fading you can re-apply the product straight from the bullet without it looking strange or gross on the lips. The shades are amazing and extremely pigmented. My most used one is Alter Ego, but I also used Underground a lot.
Sephora Rouge Lipsticks
Another drugstore favorite with an immense shade range. Sephora has some pretty cool lip products: those lipsticks are really easy to apply, moisturizing on the lips but they also last for hours. The finish is not completely matte - it's more of a satin finish, which makes it easier to re-apply throughout the day.
Sephora Cream Lip Stains
Old favourite of mine, my best and most used red ever. The Sephora Lip Stains are amazing liquid lipsticks that feel comfortable on the lips but with a full coverage and matte look. The shades are not many and I wish they had more colors -especially darker ones, but it's worth mentioning because it's a budget-friendly alternative to the more expensive liquid lipsticks that came out this year. The shade I wore the most is Always Red.
Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks
I featured those liquid lipsticks in my "15 beauty discoveries of 2015" because I love them a lot. As I said in my previous post, these are not the most comfortable lipsticks to wear if you wear your lip products all day long, because after 5-6 hours they tend to fade (it depends on the shade), but the result on the lips and the shade range make it worth trying them.
Mac Lipsticks
Trusty old Mac lipsticks. In 2015 I was so overwhelmed by other brands and I didn't really buy many Mac lipsticks, but I can't lie, I like them too much. My most used one is Flat Out Fabolous, that I used to death during summer.
That's it for lips, but I still have my Most Played Eye products to show you! Which lip products were your favorites in 2015? Something I need to try? Let me know!
