2015 Beauty Favorites | Lips

 I am on it this year! Last year it took me almost all of January to complete my yearly favorites. I guess I had a lot of repeat winners this year. Plus, I have been inspired to talk about my own thanks to Youtube.

In this post I included all of my favorite lip products. I am going to write one more post with all of the links to each segment for my 2015 Beauty Favorites. I may include some of my favorite brushes and skincare items. So be sure to come back and check that out. You can find me on  Bloglovin for your convenience. 



Lipstick (Tube) 

Highend: Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick $22

  The Revolution lipsticks apply evenly to the lips and provide extra moisture from the creaminess of the lipstick. I'm a big fan of matte lipstick but creams are still my favorite... And these are the best! The stay on my lips for 5 or more hours. The darkest shades don't bleed from my lips or smear around. And Don't even get me started on the packaging. It's a good lipstick line all around. 

Drugstore: Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte lipstick in Touch of Spice $7.99

Maybelline's Color Sensational Creamy Mattes are the definition of creamy lipsticks for a matte formula. Touch of Spice is a affordable lipstick that has high end qualities. It's creamy, pigmented and long-lasting. If you're looking for that perfect Kylie Jenner look that is affordable, this is your best bet. It's an amazing lipstick and the shade is trendy.



Lipstick (liquid) 

Highend: Too Faced Melted liquified Long wear Lipstick $21

The first thing I have to mention about Too Faced Melted lipstick is the smell. They smell A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. They feel very thin on the lips but pack a serious punch of color. They don't apply streaky or patchy. I can't find a single thing wrong with them. Even the applicator is perfection. They also last for hours and hours!

*Drugstore: Colourpop Ultra Liquid Lipstick $6

Colourpop is the best brand out their for affordable liquid lipstick. The formula actually dries down to a complete matte finish and stays on for the whole day. The Lipstick line has many options to choose from and the price is only $6. The formula is very drying but that's not irregular for matte liquid lipsticks. Some of the shades do have a different formula. They seem to be more hydrating but don't dry completely.  Usually it's the limited Edition shades that have that unique formula. Other than that all of the other liquids have the complete matte, not going anywhere, formula. The only thing I have noticed is if you rub your lips the lipstick can crumble. Nonetheless, It's still my favorite drugstore liquid lipstick line. 



Lip Liner

Highend: Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Lip Pencil $20

 Both of these lip liners are smooth and creamy. They pro long the wear of my lipstick and give me a much fuller look that lasts all day. I love the Urban Decay liners but for the price, I say go with the Nyx slim lip pencils. 

Drugstore: NYX Slim Lip Pencil $3.49

Please read the description for the high end option above. 



Lip gloss

Highend: BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lip gloss  $18

 The Marvelous Moxie lipglosses are beautiful, long wearing, non streaky and very creamy. They are one of the best lipgloss formulas out there. Not to mention their shades are adorable. They're my favorite high end formula but not my favorite formula on the whole market. This next product is! 

Drugstore: Rimmel Show Off Lip gloss (being discontinued in 2016) $4.99

Rimmel Show Off lip lacquers are my favorite lip glosses. They're so so creamy, non-sticky  and pigmented. The shades are so pretty and the price is affordable for everyone. I really wish they weren't being discontinued this year! Buy them while you still can! 



Lip Stain

Highend: It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Gloss Stain $24

The It Cosmetics Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Gloss Stains are sooo moisturizing. If you want a nice tint to your lips when you wake up in the morning and hydrated lips, then buy this Lipstain. The shades are beautiful and pigmented. The packaging is really nice and the wand is super useful. The only downfall is the price. I think they would be a lot better if they were more affordable. 

Drugstore: Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain $9.49

These balm stains come in the form of a chubby stick. The chubby stick allows precise application with easy effort. They come in tuns of cute colors. They're affordable but still perform like beasts. They stay on the lips all day and wear off evenly. I'm sure you'll love 'em.



Chapstick/ Balm 

Highend: Benefit Lip Hydrator $18

 I really like these lip hydrators because they have a tint to them but are still moisturizing. They last a really long time for a lip balm. The packaging is adorable and convenient.

Drugstore: Burts Bees Lip Balm Tin $2.80-3.29

You need this in your life. It's super moisturizing and affordable. It's my favorite lip balm of all time. That's really all I can say about a Chapstick, haha. 




Well, that's it! I had a lot of fun writing this post. I love lip products so much. Don't forget to leave a comment telling me your beauty favorites. Are ours the same?
