Additions to my Obsession | New Lipsticks

As many of you may be aware, I have a rather on-going love with both orange and red lipstick. I simply adore each of them, and find they add a little chic to any makeup look. As my lips are constantly lacquered with a shade of orange or red, it is only common knowledge to presume I am constantly on the look out for newbies to add to the extensive collection. This is completely accurate, and my radar is always on high alert for new shades of orange and red lipsticks. For Christmas, I received two new lipsticks. Let me give you a moment to predict the colours of these lipsticks...

Yes, you got it. An orange and a red. Surprise surprise. I was kindly gifted a MAC lipstick in the shade 'Dangerous', as well as a Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick - number 317. I am highly grateful for each of them and have been gaining great pleasure from flaunting these two lipstick wonders on my lips over the past few weeks. As with all of my beauty faves, it is only fair I share them with you - obviously. Let's take a closer look at the lippies at hand.

MAC's Dangerous is a firey orange colour, rearing the lower end of the orange scale and almost being a red. The pigmentation of this lipstick wows me beyond belief, as well as the incredible staying power. The colour lasts on my lips for ages, with only a couple of touch ups needed to ensure the colour is looking as full as it can at all times. It has a matte finish, which I personally do like. However, if you prefer a glossier lip, then this lipstick pairs excellently with the Revlon Colourburst lip gloss in the shade 'Sizzle Canicule'. I love the versatility of this lipstick as it co-ordinates well with the trends of both the colder and the warmer months. 

I have my two rather lovely best friends to thank for this lipstick, Caitlin and Eden. They were ever so kind to gift this to me at Christmas and clearly have very high skills when it comes to present picking - you both know me all too well. They each have beauty blogs, and I would highly appreciatr it if you could head on over and show their blogs some love;

The Chanel lipstick was a gift from my parents this Christmas, and I am extremely grateful for their generosity. I would class the colour of this lippie as a 'classic red' - the type every girl needs in her makeup collection. Its creamy, moisturising texture and high pigmentation make this lipstick a dream to apply, and leave your lips looking full, with a high shine. Unlike the MAC one, this lipstick has a shinier finish, and is very mousturising on the lips. The packaging is also somewhat rather beautiful, as with everything from Chanel. Ever so elegant & classy.

I adore both of these lipsticks greatly, and  recommend each of them in all aspects - whether it be colour, formula, consistency or quality. Each are excellent. 

Hopefully, these two new little beauties will fulfill my orange/red desires for a while. What are your favourite colours to wear on your lips? 

Thanks for reading!
