During the last couple of months, well, more like a year, I’ve become pretty obsessed with more luxury makeup. I don’t really remember where it all started but it just happened. I’m mostly obsessed with buying high-end foundations, but I also created quite a lipstick collection filled with some nice high-end pieces. High-end is different for everyone. For today’s post I decided it might be fun to share my high-end lipstick collection with you guys. Now for some people MAC is a mid-range brand, however some feel like it’s high-end. I decided to include everything that isn’t available at the drugstore (or drugstore like stores) in this post. Anyways, if you’re interested in finding out which lipsticks I own, make sure you continue reading!
Let’s start off with my MAC collection. I believe it now consists of 7 lipsticks and one lip crayon. Two out of the seven lipsticks are from limited edition collections. One is from the Ellie Goulding collection and the other one is from a more recent collection: the MAC Mariah Carey collection.
Most of the MAC lipsticks that I own are very natural. That because I just prefer wearing more natural tones and when I spend a bit more money on makeup I want those pieces of makeup to be pieces that I wear a lot. The only one that isn’t very wearable is MAC Ruby Woo. I won this about two years ago I believe and I love it. It’s one of my only and favourite red lipsticks and I wear it every Christmas.
Aside from MAC lipsticks I also have a few more high-end lipsticks. These are more luxury than high-end, but what’s the difference right. Before I jump into them I have to say that I don’t own that many high-end lipsticks just because I already found my perfect everyday lipstick and because I don’t wear lipstick that often so I don’t feel like spending my money on it.
The first luxury lipstick I ever bought is this Dior Addict lipstick. I bought it at the airport in Stockholm about 6 years ago I believe and I wasn’t that in love with it back then, but I do really love it nowadays.
About two years ago I added another luxury lipstick to my collection. It’s the Chanel Rouge Allure lipstick in Melodieuse. It’s a rather bright colour but it’s a stunning colour. I also really love the packaging of it.
The last luxury lipstick I own is by YSL. I bought this on my birthday this year. It’s the YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in the shade Beige Blouse. This is my favourite and go to lipstick. It’s just the perfect everyday neutral shade and it looks good with pretty much everything. Literally 90% of the time when I’m wearing lipstick, I’m wearing this!
I almost forgot about these, but I also got two Stila lipsticks in my collection. I can’t remember when or where I got them, but they are amazing. These are the Stila Lipstick Balms thingies in two very out there colours. Like I said, I normally don’t buy extreme colours like this, but because of the amazing texture and because I do like a colour like this every now and then, I ended up buying them anyway!
Another lipstick I’d consider as high-end is this Clinique lipstick. My best friend gifted it to me a while back and I really like the way it looks. It’s a great and super pretty lipstick with a really nice texture. It’s stunning!
Lastly I have to Tarte lipsticks. I didn’t buy them on their own because, like I said, I don’t buy that much lipstick. But I got these when I bought a set of makeup from Tarte on QVC. However, I do really like these lipsticks. The Tarte lipsticks just have something about them that makes them absolutely incredible. They’re insanely soft and smooth and I love wearing them!
And that concludes today’s post. I know it wasn’t that much, but I hope you enjoyed reading this post and seeing my lipstick collection anyway! Thank you so much for reading and be sure to let me know which high-end lipsticks you own!
XOXO, Nicole.
Wow, that’s a big stash! Love it! Once i had the Dior lipstick. Loved it.
Er zitten echt pareltjes tussen. Ik zou mezelf wel een YSL cadeau willen doen.
Dat moet je zeker doen! Het is zeker geen goedkope lipstick, maar dat is een van de enige die ik het geld echt 110% waard vind.
Wat een mooie collectie zeg! Daar ben ik wel een beetje jaloers op haha. Mijn favoriete high end lipsticks blijven denk ik de Pure Color Envy lipsticks van Estee Lauder, die vind ik zo fijn!
