LIQUID LIP LOVIN

L-R Stila 'Dolce', KVD 'Lolita', ABH 'Ashton', Jeffree Star 'Unicorn Blood', Sephora 'Marvellous Mauve', Kylie 'Candy K', Kylie 'Reign'

I am back on the blogging bandwagon with a super-cute marble flat lay. Look at me being all pro n stuff. I figured the best way for me to get back into blogging was to talk about my latest makeup obsession: liquid lipsticks. Along with the rest of the beauty world, I can't remember life before liquid lipsticks anymore.

My collection is small-but-growing, so I figured I'd talk you through each of my shades so if you're wondering what brand is best for you, you can make an informed decision on your next liquid lip purchase. I'm definitely going to be filming a video on this in the near future so expect more in-depth information in that, but I've still got a couple of shades on my wishlist that I want to purchase before then (it's a disease).

Still Stay All Day 'Dolce': This was very much an impulse purchase whilst I was buying my lunch in M&S one day (M&S does makeup?!?!?) and I was so pleasantly shocked at how much I loved this. I don't think I've ever heard another person talk about the Stila liquid lips but this one is fantastic. Only slightly drying, very long lasting, non-patchy and the most beautiful shade. The signature Georgia nudey-orangey-pinky shade but it's got teeny tiny gold glitters in it!!! GOLD GLITTER IN A LIQUID LIPSTICK, GUYS.

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick 'Lolita': My one true love. I love it so much that it's nearly run out and I am savouring the last few applications for very important dates. It pains me that I can't get KVD with ease in the UK because this is my favourite lip shade ever, as well as favourite liquid lip ever. Non-drying, non-patchy, non-flaky, comfortable to wear, long lasting. Everything.

Anastasia Beverly Hills 'Ashton': I've only had this a couple of weeks and I've literally worn it every single day since. It's a very brown undertoned nude that's comfortable to wear and easy to apply. The formula is so opaque that you just need one quick coat and you're done. I will say that this one is pretty drying though so load up with the lip balm beforehand.

Jeffree Star Cosmetics 'Unicorn Blood': I've had this shade for about 4 days so I haven't had enough time to form a rounded opinion yet in the couple of hours I've worn it. I will say that it doesn't dry down completely matte which is unusual, and it is not the prettiest to eat with. But I can't do a liquid lip post and not include the iconic Jeffree Star. I've got Androgyny and Celebrity Skin on the way so I'm going to test out all three and film a video with some coherent thoughts!

Sephora Cream Lip Stain 'Marvellous Mauve': Ah, my first ever liquid lip love and it still doesn't disappoint. I would definitely say that alongside KVD, this is the best. Opaque, comfortable, and even though it's matte, it still feels creamy on the lips?! What is this sorcery?

Lip Kit by Kylie 'Candy K' and 'Reign': The much sought-after Kylie Lip Kits with the age-old question: are they worth the hype? Yes. I know there's the Colourpop controversy surrounding this brand, but personally, even if the formula is still the same as Colourpop, these shades are beautiful. Candy K is the perfect muted pink for daily wear and although the liquid lip itself is very drying, wearing the lip liner underneath improves the comfort 10x. Shoutout to the lip liner: it's the creamiest I've ever used. Reign is a metallic brown-red and unlike anything I've ever seen with any other brand. Perhaps not as wearable as any other shades, but totally worth it for makeup fanatics who just like to know they have pretty colours.

And there you go, an essay on liquid lipsticks for my big blogging comeback. Enjoy and look out for my upcoming video with more in-depth details. Thanks for reading, you babes.
