The Everyday Lip Edit

I'm not going to lie, I've been going make up free quite often for the past couple of weeks. My skin has been acting up a little (oh the joys!) so I decided to take a natural approach instead of popping a bunch of different skincare and make up products on top. When there has been the odd occasion when I've actually worn make up, I have been going for a minimal and natural look.

So I thought I'd share some of my everyday lip products that I've been reaching for when trying to achieve this natural look.

LAQA & CO // Cloud Lips

For something a bit 'bold' but still comfortable to wear on a day-to-day basis, the Laqa & Co Cloud Lips in the shade daydream is perfect. A satin, creamy & non-drying formula, it is ideal for a soft natural look. I got this in December's Glossybox and having never heard of the brand, I was pleasantly surprised by this product!

NYX COSMETICS // Butter Gloss

I haven't worn lipgloss since I was probably about 15 and boy, have I been missing out. The NYX butter glosses aren't super sticky or tacky, like the ones I used to wear back in the day, but are creamy and don't make your lips feel gross. I thought I'd try this product mostly because I heard great things and now I completely get it! I bought this is a pink shade called tiramisu and it is fab for everyday wear.

FIRST AID BEAUTY // Ultra Repair Lip Therapy

When my lips are dry and I'm not slathering Vaseline all over them, this product is a great option for something to hydrate yet add a tinge off colour. It is red toned, but don't be scared off as it is very subtle and has a lovely rosy finish when on the lips. I bought this when I went to New York back in January 2017 and it is still going strong! 10/10 recommend.

SOAP AND GLORY // Sexy Mother Pucker Lipstick

I recently got this product for free because I'd accumulated enough Boots points - woo! I thought I'd try it out because the colour looked like it would be a really nice nude for my skin tone. And it is a pretty great match. It's in the shade cinnamon and I really like the soft, satin and non-drying formula and how it doesn't feel heavy at all. I also like the packaging, I always appreciate a bit of rose gold!
