My Top 6 Lipsticks

Lipsticks are my favourite make up items. They are the easiest way to change your look. Mostly I wear light neutral pinks (hence the amount of them in my top 6), but I also love wearing a bit brighter colours (paired with very neutral eyes). 

And here are all six of them. From left to right they are Oriflame Pure Color 00012, E.l.f. Mineral lipstick in Runway Pink, Mac's Hue and Creme Cup, Gosh Darling, Nyx and Manhattan Soft Matte/Mat lipcreams in Istanbul and 45H. (Colored text is a link.)

Oriflame Pure Color 00012 - I don't really know how it's called exactly, which is a shame because I would repurchase it when the time comes. It's the brightest pink in my top 6 bunch. It's a bright pink but slighly peachy with a cream finish. It's one of my four most-worn shades.

E.l.f. Mineral lipstick in Runway Pink - My absolutely most-worn lipstick. It's a light matte pink that goes with everything. Here is another swatch.

Mac Hue -  is my absolute favorite lipstick. It's a gorgeous light milky pink, slightly peachy with glossy finish  This lipstick is my ultimate to-go shade. Here is another swatch.

Mac Creme Cup - is a light blue pink and is a part of their cremesheen line. It's a very wearable, neutral everyday colour. This shade looks darker on me than on most, but here is a swatch from a lovely fellow Slovenian blogger from The Dollhouse Diary.

Gosh Darling - is my favourite nude lipstick. It's just one of the most flattering nude shades ever. To bad Gosh isn't sold in Slovenia anymore.

Manhattan Soft Mat Lipcream in 45H - I love soft mat lipcreams, from both brands Nyx and Manhattan. First off they are mat (I love mat shades), secondly they are all really pigmented and after they dry they survive through everything (eating, drinking). 45H is a gorgeous red shade which after it drys doesn't budge so you don't leave lipstick stains on the glasses.

Nyx Soft Mat Lipcream in Istanbul - is another my to-go shade. It's a neutral, light to medium pink (on me at least) and the colour lasts for hours. And another thing about mat lipcreams, after they dry they tend to change colour a bit, Istanbul for example becomes a bit lighter.

So this is my top 6. Nothing terribly exciting. I'm sure I've already talked a lot about all or at least most of these shades.

Oriflame Lipstick Swatches

I need some help with identifying these lipsticks. My cousin gave me these, she got them as samples of to her unknown lipstick. Does anyone recognize these? I've done some investigation and I suspect they're called Pure Colour lipsticks, but I'm not sure. The numbers are odd too.

Rabim malo pomoči. Namreč dobila sem te Oriflamove šminke od sestrične in ona ne ve točno katere so. Sama sem že gledala po novem katalogu in predvidevam, da so Pure Colour šminke. Številke so mi zelo čudne in spodaj na dnu šmink so informacije zelo skope. A jih katera prepozna?

These aren't particurlary moisturizing, however also not particurlary drying. The two frosty shades don't stay long, but the two creamy one's aren't so bad.

Šminke niso ne vem kako vlažilne, ampak tudi ne izsušujejo. 2 odtenka sta frosty in sta bolj malo obstojna, druga dva sta kremna, ta dva sta bolj obstojna.

00008 - is a frosty lavender, not that pigmented, actually really unflattering shade. I wouldn't recommed this one. Essence 01 Frosty is really similar./ Sivka s frosty finišem, ni kaj preveč pigmentirana, v bistvu se na ustnicah vidijo le bleščice. Meni zelo nevšečen odtenek, Essence 01 Frosty je zelo podoben odtenek.

00011 - is a pale bubble gum frosty shade, again not that pigmented (but more than 00008). Not my cup of tea (I really dislike frosty shades), it's similar to NYX Harmonica/ svetlo roza s frost finishem, ne preveč pigmentirana (vseeno bolj kot 00008). Meni ni všeč, je pa podobna NYX-ovi Harmonici.

00012 - is a bright pink but slighly peachy with cream finish. The most wearable of the four, a really pretty shade and my favorite. I'd definitely recommend this one./ roza s malo breskve, kremni finiš. Najbolj primerna za vsakdanjik in moja naljubša.  Priporočam (če ugotovite kateri odtenek v katalogu dejansko je :) )

00007 - a bright pink, the darkest of the bunch. My second favourite, perfect if you like something a bit brighter. Another shade I'd recommend./ živo pink in najtemnejša od štirih. Moja druga najljubša, super če imate radi bolj žive barve (vseeno ni preveč živa). Priporočam.
