My Favourite Lip Liners

29th July 2016

 

Todays post is all about My favourite lip Liners, it was supposed to be my top 5, and a continuation to my top 5 series but I couldn’t pick just 5 and although all of these look similar they look completely different on the lips! And yes they are all nudes, whoops but you can’t have enough nude shades right?! A lot of these shades are dupes for higher end lip liners so keep on reading if you want to see my favourites!!

So I have a bit of a mixed bunch here, most of these are really affordable.

NYX Nude Beige – brown toned beige

NYX Mauve – rose toned mauve

MAC whirl – dirty rose mauve

Barry M toast number  16– warm brown beige

Jordana cosmetics Rock n Rose– brown toned mauve

Colourpop Chi– cool toned brown beige

Kylie Dolce K –  brown toned beige

 

MAC Whirl £13

I couldn’t have a favourites post without mentioning MAC, I think everyone loves MAC lip pencils, they’re a cult favourite as they have so many shades, I have a lot of Mac lip pencils and to be honest I don’t reach for them anymore apart from whirl that is which has and always will be my favourite shade, it’s the perfect mauve type nude one of those your lips but better shades. These Mac lip liners retail for £13 so they aren’t exactly cheap. I can’t even remember the last time I purchased a Mac lip liner I think there is so many cheaper brands that sell good dupes and if not better.  But the fact this was my ride or die lip liner all last year when the Kylie lip colour craze was going on I couldn’t not include it in this post.

 

NYX nude beige & mauve $3.50

NYX lip liners are seriously amazing I have about 5 different shades in these and if you want a dupe for Mac then these are the ones you need, they’re the exact same formula and the shades are pretty similar as well. They’re creamy and pigmented and aren’t dry at all, which is what I look for in a good lip liner. I got mine in America they were only $3.50 such a bargain, but I’m sure now that boots have lots of NYX counters it won’t be long till these are available in the UK, I don’t remember seeing them in my local boots only the retractable liners but if you do see these online I would definitely purchase some to try, you won’t be disappointed. My faves out the bunch I’ve got are nude beige and mauve, mauve is so similar to Mac whirl so if you’re looking for a dupe that’s a real close one. And nude beige is just a lovely browny beige colour that goes with so many lipsticks and liquid lipsticks.

Barry M Toastv£2.99 

Barry m cosmetics number 16 (toast) is supposed to be a dupe for MAC stripdown, I don’t own stripdown so I can’t compare but I would definitely say it’s a brown toned beige and that’s how Mac describes stripdown, and for £2.99 these Barry M pencils are really nice, again creamy and nice to apply, I’ve also got the shade 17 blush which is also really Similar to MAC whirl. I feel like whirl is the easiest shade to dupe. But I would definitely recommend picking some of these up to try I’ve been wearing this one daily at the moment with NYX London soft matte lip cream and I love it.

Jordana Rock n rose $2.49

Jordanian lip liner in Rock n rose, again I picked  these up in America I picked up a few shades but rock n rose is my favourite, it’s a cheap drugstore brand and loads of people rave about this brand especially the lip liners, for $2.49 these are an absolute bargain, I’m sure you can find these on eBay or Amazon, I’m really sorry I can’t be more help I know I shouldn’t Include this one as it’s not easily available in the U.K. But it’s such a nice lip pencil and one I use a lot so I couldn’t not mention it. It’s a retractable liner so can’t be sharpened etc but again it’s really soft and creamy, all of the ones mentioned in this post are creamy as I hate dry and patchy Lip pencils.

Colourpop Lippie pencil $5

Colourpop Chi lippie pencil, These are fairly new in my collection although I’ve had the Kylie ones for some time and they are the exact same in my opinion, shame design and formula so when I recently ordered from Colourpop I ordered a couple of lippie pencil to try out and I love them, My favourite is chi it’s a darker brown beige shade. It’s so creamy and just glides on the lips, you can wear these alone as it’s so pigmented, I’m definitely going to be picking more of these up in the future. Don’t forget Colourpop ship to the uk now although shipping is expensive I used a shipping company  last time I ordered that you can read all about here.

Kylie dolce k $14-29

Lastly is the Kylie lip liners that comes with the Kylie lip kits, $29 although she has now started selling the liners separately although for $14 I still think is a little expensive for just the liner when Colourpop is basically the same, but dolce k is my favourite at the moment I wear it non stop and I just love it. I mostly wear it with the matching dolce k liquid lipstick. The only thing I don’t like about these type of lip liners is that they run out really quickly, although it doesn’t look like you can sharpen these you can and I have to sharpen mine a lot as they are thick and creamy it gets blunt pretty quickly. But apart from that I love these and I’m seeing more brands bring out this type of pencil with the same design, packaging and the formula, I think even huda beauty lip contours are the same.

As you can see they are all pretty similar, just a few have different undertones, some are more warm toned. Although these look identical swatched they look different on the lips and once paired with lipstick etc.

I hope this post has been helpful, and hopefully I have helped you  find some dupes for your favourite lip pencils.

As always thanks for reading xo

    I love mac’s Lip Liners. Whirl seems like a beautiful shade, but I’m partial to Dervish!

I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads fo I’ve been looking for dog harnesses and leads for a while now as we wanted something new for the new additions we have. I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house! Oh take me back to being a kid and being excited for Christmas ha ha! 🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feel I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pret Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next fo Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
