My "go to" lipsticks this summer

I am not very adventurous when it comes to lip colors , gravitating more toward pinks and browns and pastels. Its fun to wear a bright and bold "statement" on your lip once in a while but i think for every day colors nudes work with most occasions and outfits.For this summer these are the lipsticks that i have been using the most:

The Revlon one toward the very end is the "bold exception " to the rest of my relatively safe choices.I am thinking of adding a "Fuchsia pink " to the group as well :)Whats your "most reached for color" this summer?
Till next time......

Revlon colorstay vs Revlon colorstay

I have been meaning to do this comparison post for quite a while now.But it got postponed for one reason or another:)Lets just begin by saying that i am very taken with Revlon's colorstay line.Especially the foundations.In Pakistan Revlon products are not available in open market.You may sometime find a few shades of foundation here & there or lipsticks / lip glosses but not in an official capacity(correct me if i am wrong). For the longest time i wanted to get my hands on Revlon colorstay foundation with softflex so when i found one at my local cosmetic counter (even though it was totally the wrong color for me) i immediately bought it.What i failed to notice at the time was that the bottle didn't exactly say it had softflex in it.So i ended up(in my haste) not only buying the wrong shade but also the wrong formula :( But i tried it any how, just to satisfy my curiosity about it.Than i got my hands on this other colorstay foundation (Active light makeup). This time the color matched perfectly. But both the formulas/packaging is so different from each other that i thought a comparison post was in order :)

L'Oreal Color Riche Lipstick in "845 TAWNY"

My favorite make up look is always a dark eye and nude lips so i am always on the look out for good nude lipsticks.L'oreal and Revlon are my go to brands when it comes to nude colors.The "color Riche " line by L'oreal is really great.Not only are the lipsticks affordable,creamy,soft but they also bear well with the weather in Karachi,travel and general abuses of regular usage
I recently purchased this color.Its called "Tawny", no.845At first glance it appears to be a brownish nude color but when you swatch it, the color is much less pigmented and is sort of a light pinkish brown.Either way i really like to wear it on a daily basis.It doesn't wash out my lips (which can happen with some nude colors). It can also be worn over or under other colors for a more pigmented look.
If you are going to buy this from a Mall ,L'oreal counter or another such place than you might have to pay 600 to 800 Rs (just a guess,as i haven't confirmed).I got this from a local cosmetic counter,the shop owner had about 10-12 colors and was selling them for 450/piece.I got it for Rs 400.

REVLON LIP GLIDE(Sheerly strawberry 090)

This is one of my most favorite lip glosses.i know it is a discontinued product by Revlon.(But that is a mute point in Pakistan). You may still be able to find these at your local cosmetic stores(just don't go to Naheed or Agha's looking for these....lolz)
