July is over and that means I finally get to stop taking daily selfie. Top tip for a happy life, don't take a selfie every day. It's stressful. I'm blaming Tami!
I survived anyway! And I managed to wear a different lipstick every single day, something I never thought I'd manage. And selfie taking aside? I quite enjoyed it!
On the 22nd, I was feeling something pretty bold, so I whipped out the MAC All Fired Up lipstick from the Retro Matte Collection for the first time. This is a gorgeous bold blue toned pink, not too drying for a matte formula, but super long lasting. It makes your teeth look whiter, and I think I might be slightly in love with it.
Day 23 I went for something a little calmer after the bold pink madness of the previous day. I went for the Wet and Wild Lipstick in 902c a brown nude which, when pared with lots of bronzer and highlighter, looks pretty summery.
I fell in love with my pick for Day 24, my first swipe of the Josie Maran Love Your Lips Hydrating Lipstick in Playful Pink was a joyous one. A beautiful summery pink that isn't too bright, but is incredibly moisturising, and so so pretty.
Another new pink purchase, I went for the Maybelline Colour Whisper in Pink Possibilities, a slightly sheer light bright pink, perfect for summer. This was nice, but nothing to write home about. I think I must have bought the wrong shades though because Tami loves these!
Day 26 I went bare! I spent the day rock climbing, hiking, and snorkeling with my boyfriend, no lipstick required!
To make up for the lack of lipstick on Day 26, Day 27 was all about the Jouer Tint in Peony a definite radiany orchid shade. This is pretty dry on the lips, but it's super long lasting and with a little balm over the top it works a treat.
The Buxom Full on Lip Creme in Mudslide stole the show for Day 28's minimal makeup look, it's a lip enhancing gloss in a pretty nude shade that just makes my lips appear to be a little more than they are.
Day 29 was filming day! I opted for the Lipstick Queen Lipstick in Trance, a deep blue toned pink that has a sheer formula, so is super easy to wear. I really like this shade, you can see it in action in my July Favourites Post.
Another nude, because you know I love those, this time the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in 01 Curviest Caramel. Not much to say on this, a pretty creamy nude-nude. I much prefer the Intense formula to the standard, much better colour payoff!
And to round off a month of horrendous selfies, a pretty pink duo. I wore the Estee Lauder Pure Colour Sheer Lip Shine in Plexi Pink, with the Benefit Ultra Plush Lipgloss in Lollibop over the top. Pretty and pink. I love this combo!
So what have I learnt? I wear too many nude lipsticks, I take a bad selfie, and I have too many lipsticks!
Wow well done for sticking with it!! I'd have well given up or forgot to take pic each day! Day 24 Josie maran lipstick looks lovely. Adele acesparklestar.blogspot.co.uk
