A few of my favorite things... Lippies

What's more alluring than a nice pair of luscious lips?

Uh.. nothing?

Well, maybe the lippies that make those lips so luscious. I'm obsessed with the pucker for fall.

Here are a few of my current favorite.... lippies!

L'Oreal Infallible Plumping Lipgloss - It's an anomaly. Seriously, part gloss, part stain (not sure if it is actually a stain but the color stays on for so long it very well should be), all plump. My lips look more than massive, they look magically enlarged. Plumped rose and plumped tawny (pictured) are by far my favorite, must-have fall nudes. The wand is an added bonus. Exactly like Lancome's wand, the sponge is large and a bit flattened for precise paint-on application. Score! $9.99

Korres Lip Butter - Jasmine is my favorite - extra moisturizing, mega shine in a sheer seashell wash. It's definitely more of a chapstick (sans the stick) than a lippy (reminds me of Labello but in a soft form). The lip butter is the perfect go-to balm for day as it literally only adds a hint of hue. I like it for night layered ontop of a stain for a bit more color with shine and hydration (so lips don't look chaffed). BONUS: Can also be used as a cheek tint! Wild Rose is a lovely deep red sheen, great for faux-blushing. $9.00


Givenchy Gloss Interdit Ultra-Shiny Color Plumping Effect - a little bling never hurt a pout. This lippy is full of color, plump, shine and shimmer. In fact, the bristled wand is so precise that it's truly like painting the pout. And the color -- more than a wash but less than a lipstick -- lasts surprisingly long for a gloss. The plump is similiar to the L'oreal Infallible Plumpers with extra sparkle. Favorite hue is #13, Delectable Brown, a warm golden beige. $24.50 (Sephora exclusive).


Clinique Vitamic C Lip Smoothie - Vitamins and antioxidants + a hint of color? Fabulous! As always, Clinique delivers an amazing lippy in gorgeous sheer hues. It moisturizes, protects and shines. Nude-tricious, a gorgeous beigey-nude hue and Fig-a-licious (pictured), a barely-there mauvish-pink, are my picks. I heart the brush-on applicator with actual bristles! $17.50

Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain - It's like a magic marker... actually, it's a pen that stains lips for the ENTIRE day -- through breakfast, lunch, dinner and a few kisses in between. Application is as easy as writing your name. Color 400 (pictured) is my favorite. It's so universally appealing -- a raspberry meets watermelon pink -- that the fairest of skins to the darkest tones will look fab in said hue. My only gripe is that the applicator tip has a tendency to try out rather rapidly. $7.49


What's your current favorite lippy?

That CG Lipstain looks really interesting, I've not seen anything like that before! I'd love to try it out but we don't hvae CG here in the UK :(
My favourite lipstick at the moment is probably Fatal Red, one of Maybelline's new Color Sensational shades.

The YSL Gloss Volupte No. 3 is my current favorite but I'm also using the Clinique Vitamin C gloss as well when I'm indoors.
