Hello! A while back I decided to start a series where I talk about my top 5's but I kind of forgot about it! So today I am back to talk about my top 5 lip products.
Before I start, I would like to say thank you for the lovely feedback I received on The 'Perfect Body' post. I really want to start writing more posts like that, rather than talking about beauty all the time.

Here I tried to swatch the products and I actually spent more than 10 minutes trying to take the photo but the camera wouldn't focus so I had to settle for this one. #bloggerproblems
Lipgloss
Catrice Infinite Shine Lipgloss in 120 Little Red Dress
I had forgotten about this lipgloss but while I was searching in my makeup box I found this gem at the bottom and remembered how much I loved it. It is in a cherry red shade with a hint of shimmer which I find really nice. I love that it's able to stay on my lips for a long time and that it is not sticky. I find that it's better to apply over a lipstick or lip liner because when applying alone it is easy to go overboard and end up with Kylie-esque lips! The only thing that I don't like about it is that it is not as opaque as the shade in the tube but it isn't that much of a problem since I am applying it over another product anyway.
Essence Long Lasting Lipgloss in 01 Baby Doll's Favourite
The first lipgloss that I ever bought was from Essence and I chose the lightest nude which-looked-kind-of-purple shade that without doubt looked awful and has never seen the light of day since. (11 year old me choices) So I had stayed clear away from their lipglosses just because of that first purchase. A few months ago I decided that I will buy another one and I was definitely not let down this time. The shade is a shimmery coral pink and I find this perfect for everyday wear since it is close to my natural lip colour but is still visible. Like it says, it is long lasting but on the other hand it is a little sticky. Another thing that I like is the applicator, which helps to apply the product easily.
Lipsticks
Kiko Smart Lipstick 903 Candy Rose
If you have been reading this blog for a while you will know that I love this lipstick as I have mentioned it a couple of times before. It is definitely a staple in my makeup routine. The shade is a nudish pink (this photo makes it look more on the pink side) which I also think is great for everyday wear. It applies smoothly and leaves my lips feeling moisturized. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it wears off easily since it is a light colour. So I definitely have to top it off every two hours or so.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in 084 Amethyst Shimmer
As the name suggests, the shade is both purply and shimmery although not as dark as the colour in the stick. This is my go to when I don't feel like wearing a natural lip shade. (I am wearing this lipstick in my profile picture) It is really lasting and it actually stains my lips a little after removing it.
Lip Balm
Sierra Bees Organic Pomegranate Lip Balm

This is another well loved (and mentioned) product. I wear it nearly everyday and I will be really unhappy when it finishes. It is made of organic and natural ingredients which I find really nice. The smell alone is amazing and it keeps my lips very moisturised.
Also I have recently noticed that I definitely use definitely a lot. There, I did it again! I'm really sorry if that bugs you haha.
