It's been a pale pink week this week for some reason (well, the reason being that I've been wearing very dark eyeshadow, I suppose). This week's entrants to the hall of fame are:
Chantecaille Lip Chic - China Rose
Chantecaille Lip Chic - Tea Rose
Avon - Baby Lips
No7 Poppy King Lipstick - Glamour
Clarins Joli Rouge - Pink Blossom
Vapour Organics Elixir Plumping Gloss - Bitten
Tarina Tarantino - Cameo
Remarkably similar this bunch, if you take the Chantecaille Tea Rose and Vapour gloss out of the equation. Very different textures, all of them, though. I think the Chantecaille Lip Chics might currently be my favourite lipstick texture of all, soft and moisturising, and, whilst sheer, they're pigmented enough for a really polished look. There will be a full review of both of these and the Vapour gloss soon though.
Here are the swatches:
Yup. Very similar. What can I say? I get into a groove with shades sometimes ...
Oh, and a little sneaky preview for you of what I have coming up this week:
Why yes, that IS a wall of Tom Ford. How did you guess? It's incomplete though, I have discovered that True Coral is so disgusted with my total inability to wear it that it's gone walkabout. Pfeh.
The Fine Print - This week a selection of purchases, PR samples and gifts. Fear my overdraft fees this month! Fear them! But then, who needs food anyway?

I think I actually just wept at the Tom Ford wall. Should you ever find that pesky True Coral and fancy a little blog sale to cover those overdraft fees *nudge wink*
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad they've discontinued Pure Pink :(
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your 'Week in Lipstick' posts. You have some really pretty shades. x
ReplyDeleteLip chic is my favorite formula :) Tea rose is my HG for a really polished look and it's so no fuss. I'll have to look into china rose. Don't have that one yet!
ReplyDeletea lovely week of lipsticks there. Super jel of your epic Tom Ford wall x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely selection of lippies. I came over all strange at the sight of the Tom Ford wall. Lush! x
