My favorite lip products at the moment

Hi everyone! Last week I organized my makeup products on Instagram and realized I had built a collection of lip products. Among everything I bought for makeup, lip products are my favorite. So, today I want to share my favorites to make your lips fabulous. 

Lip oils

I think I found my holy grail lip oil! It's the viral Fat Oil by NYX, and I bought it transparent, and in the shade, That's Chic, a beautiful cherry shade. Don't be afraid of the intense color of the bottle; it gives you a beautiful shimmer glow with a subtle cherry tint. 

Every time I use them, my lips are so happy to feel hydrated and plump. Also, they are versatile because you can wear these lip oils alone, over a lip liner, or as a gloss over your lipstick. 

Lip mask

I have only one lip mask, but it's the best. I apply it before sleep because I love waking up with nourished lips. My lip mask is from Veralab and is practical, delicious, and effective. It smells like a cherry, leaves your lips like velvet, and it's easy to apply. 

Also, the bottle is small, so that I can bring it everywhere! 

Lipstick

I love lip products because they can twist makeup and an outfit with small touches. Also, the boost of confidence I get from them is incomparable. So, when I want to feel a little bit extra, I swear by some lipsticks. My go-to red and magenta lipsticks are from Rimmel for Rita Ora and from Armani Beauty. The red one is the perfect shade of cold-toned red, making your teeth shine bright. Also, it's comfortable on your lips; even if it's matte, it doesn't dry your lips too much. 

I bought the magenta lipstick over Christmas in a matter of seconds from Armani Beauty. It has some micro-blue particles that make the lipstick somehow iridescent. It's so beautiful, and I swear by it. It's a little warmer than the previous red one, but I love that shade of magenta so much. 

Speaking of nude shades, I stopped my search for the perfect nude for my lips because I recently created my customized lipstick with Citylab Cosmetics, and now I have my perfect nude shade in a beautiful stick. It's a 45-minute experience that you can do in-store online, and you'll have your ideal lipstick in your hands at the end. 

Lipgloss

I have tried different lipgloss lately, but I keep using the same repeatedly. So, my go-to is a nude one from Essence, which I found a long ago, but it's still one of my favorites. It gives you a fantastic shiny, plump, and velvety finish. I often wear it over nude lipstick to give an extra shine or stand-alone. Then, I found the same lipgloss with glitter and an iridescent finish, perfect over lipsticks to show the glitter touch. 

Then my favorite red lipgloss is from Dior Beauty, which I got from my makeup artist friend. It's like a cherry red shade, and I love it day and night. 

What am I doing with all the other lip products? I still use them, but less often than those I mentioned. I love playing around with colors, and I often live my eras when I wear or love a specific product type. So, I keep all my lip products in my makeup organizer, patiently waiting for my new era.
