corals & peaches .. lipglosses

when it comes down to lipstick vs. lipgloss, im more of a lipstick person . i never thought i'd be a lipstick person until my first lipstick application . then, i learned that all lipsticks arent like my mom's that i used to play with when i was a little girl with stinky lipstick scent .

although i hate wearing lipglosses during summer, i love corals & peaches .




MAC lipglass in pink lemonade: im not a big fan of mac lipglass, especially during summer cuz its so sticky . but i couldnt pass up this color . i love the color payoff and its one of my fav lipglosses . it looks amazing with tanned skin tone . however, it is really thick so i like to wear it by itself over lipbalm . i think this lasts longer than any other MAC lipglasses i own !

Tony Moly plumping lip in sparkle peach 02: tony moly is a korean brand & i picked this up while i was in korea . i love this lipgloss paired up with rimmel crush lipstick . its a bit sheer to wear by itself unless you like that look, but it has a pretty peach tint that looks perfect with crush . it tones down the orangeness of crush just the right amount . i dont think it does any plumping, but it stays on for a longgggg time ! it smells like eyeko's fat lipbalm strawberry scent but with mint !

NYX round lipgloss in apricot: i love NYX lipglsses cuz theyre not sticky and they have color payoff as good as MAC's . this is a true coral color in the tube . i wear this with a nude lipstick or etude house's lip concealer underneath since my pigmented lips make it look like i have sheer red gloss on . its a lot more sheer than it looks but it has that pretty coral tint .

Revlon's colorstay liquid lipstick in prized peach: i guess this is more of a lipstick than lipgloss but i added it to the list of lipglosses since it looks like one . i really really want to like this since it has one of the longest lasting finish . after eating, drinking, kissing, it stays put loyally . but I CANNOT STAND THE SMELL ! it kind of smells like old lipsticks from the early 90's and doesnt fade away fast enough . and the color ! it looks so pretty in the tube but when it goes on my lips, its a LOT darker than i'd like it to be . they need to make pretty, lighter colors for this line !!

corals & peaches .. lipsticks

i knew i was more of a peach girl than a pink girl the moment i put on a peach toned lipstick .


& summer means lots of peach & coral toned .. well, anything ! especially lipsticks :)


i still suck at capturing the real colors on camera, but i think im getting better ! but i thought i'd add another picture in a different lighting . the colors are a LOT more vibrant in person !






in order of my preference,

my first ever peach toned lipstick was YSL's rouge volupte #26, tender peach . this is my peach toned lipstick for ALL YEAR around . everyone knows about this lipstick & i, too, fell in love with it & it became my hg lipstick . this is actually my first & only hg product so far, i love it to pieces ! just wish it would last longer on my lips ..

my newest favorite is rimmel's lasting finish in crush, 202 . i actually had this for a while, it was patiently waiting in my lipstick drawer until i was tanned enough for this shade . its AMAZING with bronzed skin, paired up with stereo rose !!! instant beachy summer look ! first time i wore it, i kept on looking at my lips in different mirrors with different lighting cuz it amazed me how pretty this lipstick can be ! i think it just MIGHT be my summer hg lipstick . its definately been in my regular rotation for a few weeks now . oh, not to mention it lasts a long time (~4 hrs) when worn with tony moly's plumping lipgloss !

my next favorite is MAC's shygirl . its extremely similar to rimmel's crush but a bit more peach toned nude whereas crush would be more coral toned . i think its a little more easy to wear than crush . i had this for a while now too but was never in my regular rotation since all my attention were held by blankety during winter/spring . at first i kind of cringed at that little frostiness . i HATE HATE HATE frosty finish on my lips . but with darker tanned skin, it creates a perfect effortless summery look . i just hate how creamsheen lipsticks tend to tilt in the tube and nick on the side of the lipstick . bleh .

NYX's round lipstick in vitamin . this is such a vibrant coral, pink tinted color . it almost looks scary bright in the tube but when its worn, its not at all ! it does have that frosty finish i dont like but frostiness is forgiveable with tanned skin ! everyone knows NYX lippies .. well, i love them too !

cello's #14, pink tint . i dont know why this is called pink tint unless they meant coral with fuschiaish pink tint . i got this when i was in korea . its a cheap brand that i just got cuz it was cheap . it smells soooo bad !!! it smells like old school lipsticks that my mom used to wear in the 90's . i'd love to wear this since the color is so pretty & wearable, but my nose doesnt let me whenever i bring this near my lips . so .. boo .
