Lipstick Wishlist + OOTD

Hey! Today I bring you a lipstick wishlist and an outfit of the day.

Lipstick Wishlist

To be completely honest with you, this was a really hard list to make because I initially had 27 lipsticks in my list but I had to reduce it to around five, so you lipstick addicts can feel my pain.
I will have to admit that I am still not that much of a lipstick addict for two simple reasons: it requires quite a lot of maintenance and I'm really clumsy and all so I'm constantly scared that I will smudge it and make a mess out of it during the day.
Lately I have been trying to get into the lipstick world a bit more just because a lipstick makes a huge difference in a person's face, specially if, like me, you tend to do the same eye makeup every day.

Going through all the lip products in my list, I actually found out that some of them were discontinued, so I am only including lipsticks that are available in stores and online at the moment.

There's no specific order to this list.

MAC's Cyber 



I have had a crazy obsession with MAC's Cyber lipstick since I found out about it in a makeup video, quite a long time ago, so I decided that I would have to include this gorgeousness in this wishlist.

Cyber is a deep, dark, reddened purple, as described by MAC.
Since it is a satin finish lipstick, the pigmentation seems to be a little on the sheer side, which is, is my opinion, unfortunate since the color is so beautiful.

OCC's Technopagan


This is not a lipstick! But I had to include it in here.
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics came up with this genius idea of making a lip product with loads of pigmentation and you don't even have to use a lot of product!

Technopagan is a metallic tip tar from the Unknown Pleasures collection, their fall/winter 2014 collection.
Technopagan in a blackened purple with blue pearl, as described by OCC. This lip tar attracts me so much for it's beauty on the lips. It comes out as a very dark metallic blue that has a purple base.

OCC's Black Metal Dahlia


Black Metal Dahlia is a blackened burgundy with red pearl, as described by OCC. This lip tar is in their permanent collection of lip tars and is a metallic version of the original Black Dahlia lip tar. It is so beautiful! It shows off on the lips as a rich metallic deep red color.

LimeCrime's Serpentina 

Serpentina is a metallic, iridescent green with a snake-like sheen, as described by LimeCrime.
This is, unfortunately, a limited edition lipstick. I've been dying for this lipstick since I saw it in their last collection. It's a true metallic emerald green.

LimeCrime's Poisonberry

Poisonberry is a bright berry-purple with a snake-like sheen, as described by LimeCrime.
This one is, again, a limited edition lipstick from the same collection as the lipstick above.
I've been in the purple mood lately and this is metallic!!!

As you can see, most of the lipsticks in my wishlist are rather dark or bold colored.
The last four lipsticks remind me of jewels since they are metallic and have amazing color payoff. They just look so precious and beautiful!

OOTD

I thought of adding an outfit of the day to this post just because I thought it would be too short only with the wishlist.
This is just a little "sample" of my "fashion".


This is the outfit of friday actually. It wasn't the best, to be quite honest. I just threw on a pencil skirt, an oversized top and a jacket and I was ready to go.
Since I wear mostly black, textures and fabrics are really important to make things a bit more versatile, so here I decided to pair a black satin pencil skirt with a loose cotton top. I also decided to wear fishnets under regular black tights, just to mute it out a bit. 



Oversized top: H&M
Skirt: Zara
Jacket: Stradivarius
Shoes: Seaside
Skeleton hand ring: Unkind
Labradorite ring: Medieval fair
Necklace: Swanheart
Sun glasses: Bijou Brigitte


I hope you have enjoyed this week's post.
Love,
Anna
