Happy Hump Day people!

So, I’ve been thinking a while about sharing current favourites/things/bits and bobs I’ve been inclined to lately. And recently, it’s been wearing lip creams and liquid lipsticks. I know that most of you know me for my matte lippies, so I know liquid lipsticks were bound to be tested. I’ve found myself reaching for them more often than not, as well as trying out new makeup looks, which essentially is just wearing a blush/face powder as my eyeshadow, without eye liner and wearing the best mascara ever.

I don’t know about you, but do you get excited whenever you get a new makeup item? For me it usually starts like with “yaaasssssss guuurrrrrllllll you’re gonna slay in this new lippy!” to things like, “OMG I hope I meet all those people who said I have big lips to see my slaying the damn life out of this makeup!” Haha. This mostly happens when I try out a new product -case in point- the mascara in this post. I got it as a gift from an aunt who came visiting, and when I tried it out, I swear it made me look like I was low key wearing falsies! I live for such mascaras. THEY. GIVE. ME. LIFE.

Anyway, I know most of you have probably never seen me talk about liquid lipsticks too. (Remember this post??) To be honest, I’d never tried a liquid lipstick until about July last year. I was somewhat fearful of how they’d apply, because trust me I get a bit OCD when applying my lipstick. I was lucky enough to get my first liquid lipstick from the Kat Von D brand, and I fell in love. The rest of the NYX lipsticks shown in today’s post were also gifts. I’m so lucky to have very generous friends who know my love for lipsticks.

Waaaaaayyyyy up I feel blessed. Ha.

I know some of you will ask where the lipsticks are from. You can purchase the stuff through various Instagram online stores. You can’t go wrong. Also, my previous post shows an example of how I’ve been loving wearing my makeup lately, the bold lip, no-eyeliner look. Let me know if you want a step-by-step tutorial on how I achieved it.

Jordana Cosmetics Creamy Concealer in Beige (I use this to highlight and conceal my eyebrows. It’s pretty affordable and does great justice to my brows!)

    Love the post! I am currently in love with the Colourpop Ultra Matte Lippies…..when I wear them I am like ” who gon check me and my big ol Lips”. They are super, cannot wait to get my hands on the NYX ones but I am embarrassed by how many lipsticks I have in my possession 🙂

    • FromCurvesWithLove

      OMG I need Colourpop Ultra Matte Lippies! Especially the Limbo and Tulle I think. Team Big Lips Unite! *fist bump*
      Thanks for reading!

  • Ms. Shee Art

      Thank you Ms. Shee! Haha catch me if you can!

  • Soni Asumpta

    Since I tried out liquid lipsticks they’re all that I want to wear.
    ‘Normal’ lipsticks just don’t do it for me anymore. Colourpop ultra matte is high on wishlist especially Limbo

    • FromCurvesWithLove

      I still like my normal lipsticks but liquid lippies are rising through the ranks!

  • Linda Otiende

    Do you by any chance know where the NYX lipsticks are from?Coz nowadays counterfeit products are so many 🙁

  • Nelly Wamuyu Thoithi

    Copenhagen and Transylvania are two NYX matte colours that I need! And Colourpop’s StingRaye and LAX.
    I agree with Linda, counterfeits in Kenya are such a problem! You have to wait for a friend coming from the States. So annoying.
    Love your blog!
