Lip Addict (2016 Version)

So this was a tag that went around a few years ago.  I liked the idea of doing a 2016 version and encourage you to do one too.

1. What is your favorite balm or treatment?

Easy.  Soft Lips.  I absolutely love Soft Lips.  They moisturize my lips and leave them feeling so soft.  They also seem to exfoliate which is nice.  I have three different scents.  Normal, but amazing, vanilla and two limited edition ones, Christmas Cookies and Haunted Marshmallow.  I’ve almost gone through an entire tube of the vanilla and am so proud of myself.  I highly recommend these.

2. What is your favorite eye catching red?

Partner in Crimson from Maybelline.  To be honest I’m not a big fan of red lips.  I’m more of a pink girl.  On the rare occasion that I do wear red, this is my go to.  I love this color and think it works perfect with my pale skin.

3. The best luxury and drugstore product?

Drugstore - Maybelline.  Maybelline makes my favorite lip sticks.  I recommend them over any other brand, drugstore or high end.  They are smooth and creamy and inexpensive.  I prefer my Maybellines over Mac or YSL.  I’m also a fan of the ColourPop Ultra Matte, though you do have to order those online.

Luxury - YSL.  I really like how creamy and hydrating the YSL lipsticks are.  My biggest problem with these is their lasting power.  They could really step it up with their lasting power.  I honestly don’t think the price tag matches the quality but I know that these are going to continue to be popular.

4. Best MAC lipstick?

Saint Germaine.  My first Mac lipstick.  I wanted this shade for years until I finally broke my spending limit and bought it.  It’s beautiful and amazing.  I know this shade is not for everyone but if you can make it work than you need it in your life.

5. Most disappointing lip product?

Mega Last from Wet N Wild and Nyx lip products.  These are both items that bloggers and youtubers will highly recommend.  They are both terrible.  The Mega Last is so dry and can be hard to apply.  They also don’t make a single shade I would recommend for my skin tone.  The Nyx lip products have terrible lasting power and feel terrible on the lips.  The Nyx ones also highlight the lines on your lips.  I think the Mega Last will work for some people, even though they don’t work for me.  I literally don’t know why Nyx products get recommended.

6. Lip Liner: Yes or No?

No.  I’ve always thought that lip liner makes you look older than you are.  It just makes it look like you stepped straight out of the 80s and haven’t looked at any modern makeup trends.  The only reason you should wear lip liner is if you absolutely need it for something, like a dark vampy lip or to prevent bleeding.

7. Favorite gloss?

No.  Lip gloss is awful stuff.  It’s sticky and nasty and disgusting.  It’s rare for me to like a lip gloss.  I also seem to have a weird reaction to a lot of it.  Sorry, but I don’t really wear lip gloss.

8. Something else?!

I have one Marc Jacobs lipstick and one Buxom lipstick.  Both of these are really nice quality.  I don’t know if you’ve ever tried either of these, but I love them.  The Buxom one is a little bulky though.
P.S.  Buxom is such a sweet company.  They once liked one of posts about them on Instagram.  It really made my day.


I challenge you to do this yourself or an updated version if your answers have changed.  Here are the blank questions.
