Lip Inventory 3: Oranges & Coral

The third installment in my lip inventory project is my orange & coral lipstick collection. Once again a lot of the swatches aren't a true representation of colour in real life but it is pretty close.

 L-R: Nyx Round Lipstick in Margarita, L'oreal Studio Secrets in Coral, BYS Lipstick in Coral Kiss, Jordana Lipstick in Mango, Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Coral Crush, David Jones lipstick in Sunburst, Sportsgirl Pout About It in Fruit Tingle, MAC lipstick in Morange.

 

A lovely light orange colour, however as you can see it is really frosty. Looks beautiful with a pink lipgloss over the top.

 I picked this up on a whim as it was on special, although I think I will probably give it away! It is also very frosty & similar in colour to Margarita except a little more peachy.

It probably looks a lot more pink to you than coral but compared to pink lipsticks it is, well... coral haha. I do like this colour, but I haven't worn it much at all lately.

Hello frost lipstick number 3! I ordered this without hearing anything about it, and will probably just give it away! & It actually does smell like mangoes haha. I think it would look nice blotted down, though.

You have probably seen me mention this lipstick mixed in with a lot of others but it is quite pretty on it's own, too.

This is another "I bought it & tossed it aside" lipstick although the colour isn't too bad on it, but it is more orangey in real life. It looks quite subtle here which is nice & has a satin finish.

This is a light matte peachy colour, perfect with a brown smokey eye, I haven't worn this in a look because I haven't really worn anything for this to go with.

MAC Morange, my new love, I think it was meant to be :P This bold orange is perfect with a neutral, light eye or any minimal makeup look but it can be used with a dramatic eye, too.

Out of these lipsticks my faves would have to be... definitely Morange because it is the most perfect bright orange lipstick, Coral crush because it is more subtle, & fruit tingle for a fun & light colour.

My favourites of 2012!

I am quite late in this post, as January is almost over already but I've wanted to put together a post on my favorite makeup looks that I did last year! Although I still have some that I can't believe I haven't posted yet I will just put up the ones I posted on my blog. At the end I have a few fave products of last year.

The reason why I'm starting a couple of months in is that I did do a couple before but nothing really stood out until now ;) And I did not pick a fave in every month either.

 So they are pretty much my faves for 2012... I tried to get it down to as few as I could but there are still heaps here! And for myself my faves out of these would have to be... the gold & purple look & the dramatic masquerade because I was super duper pleased in how they turned out :D

Fave Products of 2012
I am going to keep this part as short & sweet as possible without rambling on too much! Most of these were bought in 2012 but there were heaps of products bought before that I started loving through the year!

 Rimmel had really impressed me with their foundations, I will continue to use Wake Me Up for as long as I can! I also really like the stay matte powder, even though I like the glowy look I set my makeup lightly with this and the glow still shines through. Both products really helped me through the year!!

I bought so many nice lipsticks that I liked but nothing will compare to these 2... especially Viva Glam Nicki! wow I am in love with the formula and I really like the smell of MAC Lipsticks!

I adore these face brushes from Real Techniques.... They are so soft and can be used for multipurposes, e.g. I use the blush brush for bronzer, the contouring for blush, the precise foundation of undereye concealer etc

So hard for me to choose a couple of cheek products! MAC Lightscapade has been a daily use product for me ever since I got it, the Inglot blush is a colour to die for and Jordana blushes are highly pigmented! (this is in Coral Sandy Reef). If I had gotten NARS Laguna earlier it would be included in here!

I feel really fortunate that I had been able to slowly build my collection with a few better quality products last year, if everything wasn't so expensive over here I would definitely have quality over quantity! The inglot eyeshadows are a dream to work with, although I haven't used them as much as I'd like, and the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette has been a go to for me with neutral eye looks!

Maybelline Color Tattoo bases are a must to use under corresponding eyeshadow colours and they make it stand out so much more! (although Nyx white base does the same thing, too). I have been in love with the Maybelline Master Precise eyeliner ever since I bought it, and the I <3 Extreme volume mascara by Essence has been a daily product!

 I have been expanding my O.P.I & China Glaze collection thanks to a certain sale website, and I love the formulas! Although there are always hits & misses, both of these brands have been stand outs to me. The colours pictured here are O.P.I The Living Daylights, O.P.I Koala Berry, China Glaze Snow Globe, China Glaze Pool Party.

Although I don't talk about my perfume collection (which I have been meaning to go through for quite some time now!) I have been loving these 2 that I received as gifts last year, Jennifer Lopez Live & Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty.

Thanks so much for reading! Let me know what your fave products of 2012 were down below!
