The Lipstick Index: a Few of my Faves

Have I ever mentioned how much I love lipstick? Oh, I'm sure I have, a time or 400. And as a result of that, I have Quite a Few Lipsticks lurking about the place in various stages of usage, and thought they might make for a nice post. Now, this is not my entire lippy collection (far from it) but here are some I use regularly, across the three basic shade choices I go for: slag pink, coral and whoreish reds. Yes, there's not much of the shrinking violet about me.

Pix and listings are after the cut, but please note as there are so many, lots were limited editions etc, I am not including prices in this post.

THE PINKS

It makes the boys wink, apparently, and I adore pink lipstick. Really bright shades I keep for night time and soft pinks are often a choice for day. Here are a few I keep on hand:

  1. Shiseido Perfect Rouge in PK417
  2. YSL Rouge Volupte in 9
  3. Illamasqua lipstick in Avenge
  4. Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Colour in Retro Pink
  5. YSL Rouge Pur in 138
  6. Estee Lauder Signature Lipstick in Venetian Rose
  7. Rouge Dior in Pink Preview
  8. Rouge Baiser Rouge Intensement in 103
