Battle of the Corals: Guerlain, Illamasqua, Makeup Forever and Lancome

Okay, so Obviously I have been on the hunt for Corals, and in the search for my perfect Coral which is YSL Peach Faubourg I have amassed some AMAZING lipsticks. Each and everyone of the below I absolutely love and am very happy I went on this search because I would have never found these, Guerlain Guilette, Illamasqua Over, Make Up Forever 405, Lancome Chris and Tell.

They look very orange-y in doors with a flash but they aren't. All of these colors are so great in their own way.

Guerlain Giulette: A creamy, very rich lipstick that lasts and lasts. This is the darkest of all colors and has more pink than the others. There is a SLIGHT golden shimmer, very very slight and undetectable in the texture once on the lips. For me, this color would look better with a tan, this one out of the bunch I will wear the least because it is a darker color but its fun!

Illamaqua- I love this color, this might be my favorite color out of the bunch, however the texture isn't my favorite. It is very matte and very thick. Do not wear if you have dry lips, it would look terrible. This wears forever, Which is a huge plus and is Super Opaque which is super awesome. This is almost a neon coral, I am VERY happy i found this, I will be rocking this A LOT!

Lancome Chris and Tell: Easiest shade to wear, definitely the most flattering on every skin tone. Very light, creamy and opaque. Its a perfect mix of coral, peach and pink. This so universal. This would also be fab used as a cream blush in a hurry.

Make Up Forever 405: Great Color, Great Consistency, Great Formulation. I am very impressed, this is my first MUFE lipstick and I am loving it, I will be looking more at this lipstick line. This is most similar to chris and tell but with a more neon kick. I love it, its a little spicier and daring.

All in all, these are all great lipsticks!

Thoughts? Do you own any of the above?

Obsession Du Jour: YSL Peach Faubourg #30 Rouge Volupte Lipstick

I finally found my HG Coral/ Peach lipstick!

As you all know I have been OBSESSED with coral/ peach. I have been searching high and low for the perfect one (I will update you on all my different findings).

However, I have FOUND the Holy Grail. This is the end all, be all to my search. It is the perfect mix of peach and coral with the creamy almost soft neon color to it. It is not too orangey but not pink, perfectly peach!

I should have known all along it would come back to my beloved Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte. This is Peach Faubourg #30. This calls for a back up and I NEVER buy back ups!

The package was bling blinging...

Messy lip swatch

The picture does not really do it justice as it was taken on my crappy blackbery and just messily swiped on my lips. The color is a bit more vibrant in real life!

If you are looking for a version of Coral Peach with a soft creaminess to it reminiscent of a sophisticated orange creamsicle this is it! This is excatly what i have been looking for. It looks like PeachyKeen from China Glaze in Lipstick form.

Like all other Rouge Volupte's so perfect, so creamy, and so opaque.

HOME RUN YSL!
