My Favourite Winter Lip Products

My Favourite Winter Lip Products

Hello Lovelies

I love lip products and out of all the beauty products I own, lip products have to be one of my favourites. I change the shades of lip products that I wear during the different seasons and today I thought I would share with you my favourite winter lip products. I have split them up into shade categories and am going to share with you a little about each shade including photographs and swatches so sit back and prepare for a long and photograph heavy post, I hope you like my choices. 

Nudes


I don’t wear a nude lip very often but when I do my first choice is always Brave from MAC it is a pink toned nude shade, these are the nudes that suit me best and I always choose pink toned nudes over brown toned nudes. I do own other nude shades but over the last year if I choose to wear a nude lip, it's always been Brave.  If you would like to try Brave, you can find it HERE for £15.50.

Pinks

My Favourite Winter Lip Products

 I love to wear a pink lip all year round but I have certain pink lip shades that I would consider a "winter pink" and some of my choices are those but some are just pinks I love and wear all year round.

Nars Satin Lip Pencil - Yu


My Favourite Winter Lip Products

 This was the first of the Nars lip pencils I had tried and I absolutely adore it! I have a full review post here if you would like more information and to see a photograph of me wearing it. I love everything about this pencil, the shade is stunning it is a bright blue toned pink and is not for the faint hearted as it is very bright but I love it, I do wear it more during the summer months but it looks stunning when worn with an all black outfit and nude eye makeup to give that flush of colour, the wear time is incredible and if you haven't already done so I would highly recommend you give the Nars lip pencils a try, I have one of the matte ones in red on my wish list. If you would like to try the Nars lip pencil in Yu, you can find it HERE for £19.00 inc free delivery.

MAC - No Faux Pas 


My Favourite Winter Lip Products

How amazing is the packaging of this MAC lipstick? It was part of the Christmas collection from 2014 and was limited edition but MAC do tend to re promote products and No Faux Pas has already been re promoted once since the first launch so don't be disheartened if you like this shade it will probably do the rounds again at some point. It is what I would call a "winter pink", it's a bright pink that can be worn all year round but definitely doesn't look out of place during the winter months. MAC Girl About Town is a similar shade though if you don't want to wait for a re promote although it isn't a dupe it is a similar shade which you will see from my swatches below.

MAC - Viva Glam Miley


My Favourite Winter Lip Products

The viva glam Miley lipstick from MAC was launched just in time for my birthday (Valentines Day) 2015, now I'd say that was fate wouldn't you? It is a beautiful bright pink and again I do wear it more over the summer months but I love it during the winter months worn with an all black outfit. I wore it for my daughters 18th birthday party with a black dress. It applies well and wears well and the wear time is fantastic, it looks lovely and I always receive lots of compliments when I wear it. I do have a full review post here if you would like to read an in depth review and see photographs of me wearing it. If you would like to try Viva Glam Miley you can find it HERE on the MAC website for £15.50.

MAC - Girl About Town


My Favourite Winter Lip Products


 I love girl about town it is another lipstick that I would describe as a "winter pink" I don't wear it much any other time of year but it is a nice alternative to a red or berry lip when I want to wear some colour, it's a lovely shade. If you would like to try Girl About Town you can find it HERE for £15.50.

 Reds



My Favourite Winter Lip Products



 MAC - All Fired Up 


My Favourite Winter Lip Products


 I love wearing a red lip during the winter months and I can safely say a red lip is my favourite "go to" lip colour for the winter, narrowing down my favourite reds for this post was really hard as I do own rather a lot of red lipsticks, I did recently post my favourite red lip products post, here if you'd like to see some of my other favourites, but All Fired Up is one of my favourite red lip colours it's a pinky red and one I wear all year round. If you would like to try All fired up, you can find it HERE for £15.50.

Rimmel Kate Moss - 22


My Favourite Winter Lip Products

The Rimmel Kate Moss in shade 22 is one of my all time favourite red lipsticks, it's a bright true red and one I always receive compliments on when I wear it. It has brilliant wear time and doesn't bleed and for the price is a fantastic lipstick. If you would like to try shade 22 you can find it HERE for £5.49.

MAC Lipmix - Red


My Favourite Winter Lip Products

 MAC Lipmixes are a product that you don't really see mentioned on blogs but I honestly don't understand why, they are fantastic products and are available in a variety of shades, you can mix your own shades too making bespoke shades. I love them and love my red one, I use a teeny tiny amount for a full lip and the wear time is brilliant, I honestly cannot recommend them enough, I do have a full review post of the MAC Lipmixes here if you would like to find out more about the shades I have. If you would like to try the Lipmixes yourself and I do recommend you do, you can find them on the MAC website HERE for £14.50.

My Favourite Winter Lip Products


Berry Shades


My Favourite Winter Lip Products

Smashbox - Fig

My Favourite Winter Lip Products

My Smashbox lipstick is a teeny tiny sample sized lipstick which came in a set of two as a free gift with my Primer Water, the other shade in the set I got is Posy Pink a pale peach/pink shade. I adore the finish and wear time of both of the Smashbox lipsticks and they are the first and only Smashbox lipsticks I have and have tried but I would like to try more, and despite the size of the lipstick I have used it a lot and it still has a lot of product left. If you would like to try Fig you can find it HERE for £17.00. 


Topshop - Beguiled 

My Favourite Winter Lip Products


My lovely friend Jessie bought me my Topshop lipstick in Beguiled around 2 years ago now and I love it, it is the only Topshop lipstick I own, I do always say I am going to pick up some more of their lipsticks but haven't ever done so as yet but I would like to try some more shades as I love some of their brighter shades. Beguiled is a lovely berry toned lipstick and has a brilliant wear time, again it isn't as dark on the lips as it looks in the bullet and if all Topshop lipsticks are this good I look forward to finally trying more. If you would like to try Beguiled you can find it HERE for £8.00. 

 MAC - Darkside


My Favourite Winter Lip Products

Years ago I only ever wore very pale shades of lipstick and wouldn't ever wear reds or brights and I didn't get much more daring than MAC Angel but I started to get a little more adventurous and started to wear colour, I first tried a berry lip when I borrowed one of my daughters lipsticks for my nephews christening and loved it, since then I have added a few more berry toned lipsticks to my collection and love to wear them during the winter months. MAC Darkside was the first berry toned lipstick I ever bought and I love it, it isn't as dark on the lips as it is in the bullet and is a lovely blackcurrant shade. You can find Darkside HERE for £15.50 if you would like to try it. 

MAC Lipmix - Crimson

My Favourite Winter Lip Products

Another of the MAC Lipmixes but this time in the shade Crimson, it's a gorgeous deep red shade and one that's perfect for the winter months, I won't go on about how much I love the lip mixes again, I think you know that by now, but I do highly recommend you try them. You can find them on the MAC website HERE for £14.50.

My Favourite Winter Lip Products

So those are all my favourite lip products to wear during the winter months, it was really hard narrowing it down to these choices as I own a lot of lip products but I hope you liked my choices, do you own any of the lip products I chose and are any of my choices your favourites too? 

If you would like me to do any more favourite product posts please let me know, I have been asked for my favourite summer and winter nail polishes so I will be writing those posts but if there are any other favourites you would like to see please let me know.

Thank you for reading, much love as always
