The Lipstick Chronicles: Chapter One- The Nudes

 MAC Nudes: (Top- Bottom) Siss, Beach Sand, Freckletone, Peachstock, Shy Girl, Hue, Beachbound, Creme D'Nude, Myth.
 Other Nudes: (Top- Bottom) Givenchy #25 Rose Caprice, YSL Rouge Volupte #1 Nude Beige, YSL Rouge Pur Couture #24 Blonde Ingenu, Illamasqua Sonnet.

How many nudes should a girl have?  Well, if you're anything like me, if it's one shade either side of something you already own, you need it.

There are some nudes which are so much more wearable then others, I'd encourage anyone to go to a counter and ask a MUA, or, alternatively, just try a few on.  Depending on the formula, and brand, you can get a lot of different results.

Stay tuned!

The Lipstick Chronicles- An introduction

I am very aware that this has been done a million times before, but I'm doing a series of every single lipstick in my collection, which may take up to a year if I only do one or two a week.  I'll start off with nudes, and progress to the colours later on.
If anyone has any requests, or recommendations, please feel free to email them through to me at lindsaylreece@gmail.com and I'll see what I can do about purchasing, if I don't already own.
My favourite brands, and the majority of my collection are MAC, Chanel, Dior, YSL, Anna Sui, Napoleon & Illamasqua.
Obviously, these are all personal opinions, no one has influenced my thoughts on any products that will be displayed, and all products have been purchased by me... however, if anyone wants to send anything my way, please, be my guest!
Ps. A little snapshot of what's to come:
