The first week of the month is always a busy and hectic week for me as I have to put in extra hours and more work to meet our monthly deadline. I was pretty pooped at the end of the days which is why I have been absent from blogging this week. Nonetheless, I did manage to haul a few new products and have taken pix and tested some of them already but that will be on another posts.
I usually take pictures of the stuff I plan to blog ahead of time and have them resized and what not. Some of these pictures get left behind unfornately as I find it difficult to keep up with my busy schedule and the constant hauling. Oh well, I say to myself better late than never.
As you can see on the picture above, I have a little over a dozen of high-end lipstick brands, not including MAC. As a beauty blogger or even just a beauty enthusiast, I believe we all love to experiment with new products.
To be honest, I don't reach for my high-end lipstick as often as I think I should. Thus, why I've refrained from buying anymore unless something strike me as interesting. High-end lipsticks cost about $14-$45, depending on the brand or where you purchase them from. I purchased most of these lipsticks during a sale or from discounted stores so some of them are no longer available or hard to find. I will hyperlink those I have reviewed or have additional pictures.

I'm surprised there are still a few of these lipsticks I still haven't reviewed. But anways, my personal favorites of the bunch are Lancome, Guerlain, YSL, Motives, and Shiseido. They have excellent formula and pigmentation and feel very luxurious on the lips.
Hope you found this post helpful. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for sharing! I'm looking to expand my high end lipstick stash because I like the formulas of the ones I've tried so far. I only have 2 Mac lippies, a Nars, and a mini dior one so far :( I love the Shiseido one you have! You seriously have the best lip swatches :)
ReplyDeletequite a collection! yours is much more impressive than mine, but i dont really care for lip products as much compared to other items! i love the shade of the nars lipstick
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely collection! Lancome is definitely one of my favorite high end lippie brands. Rose Tempest is one of my favorite lipsticks of all time.
