Before I go on, Happy Eid-ul Fitr / Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri to all Muslim readers! 😀 Enjoy your celebrations and the inevitable feasts 😀 I hope everyone else is enjoying the festive break wherever you are.
Ah, 4 months after I said I’d do a 30 Days of lip colours project, I’ve finally completed it. Yay for me 😛 Instead of boring everyone by going at it straight for 30 days as I did before, I opted to take it slow this time. Clearly, taking it slow means dragging it out but I’m glad I did, because in between, new lippies came into the picture which allowed me to showcase them (and give me an excuse to use them).
So by way of a round up, here are all 30 lip colours which include lipsticks and lip glosses. I will be on a break tomorrow (I’m presently away on vacation actually) but please come back in September. I have something terribly exciting lined up on the blog and I’m bursting to share the news. But it’ll have to wait till I get back 😉

Personally, I think I like the reds and the bright colours the most. I attempted to inject more variety this round as opposed to the last round where some readers complained that all swatches were looking the same LOL! This time, I unintentionally started out with lighter shades – peaches, light pinks – and then going on to bright colours like fuchsia before taking on some corals and then rounding off with a whole series of different shades of red lipstick.
Do you have a favourite? Were you inspired to try any one of them at all? 🙂
Paris B
Oh Paris, you’ve brought out the worst in me!! My favourite of them all is still the Le Metier de Beaute Lip Creme even though the red’s uh, red. Then there’s that Burberry one and the Ellis Faas one…. the list just goes on and on :s All too pretty! Thank you so much for featuring such lovely lippies (and for making my never ending wish list even longer!) 😀
You’re welcome Sukie 😀 And you have expensive tastes! 😉
The prettiest to look at is definitely the Burberry one, but I’ll have to say that Le Metier looks absolutely divine on your lips!! 😀
Thanks Jenn 🙂 The Burberry one seems so long ago now LOL but I do like it for its everyday wearability too. The Le Metier one is a little bright for day to day wear
i think the most ‘stunning’ color has to be the Eyeko – hot fuschia!
Oh yeah! That was one bright lip
I agree with xin, I’ll go with the fuschia. However, you did influence me to get a Shiro Cosmetics intertube, heh heh heh.
Ooh I hope you like the colour you got! 😀 The Shiro Intertubes are quite impressive for their price although I still maintain they need to come in a round tube 😛
I do like the soft shades on you, but I agree the bold reds are va-va-voom! Since I’m pretty shy about lip colors, you’ve inspired me to pick up a wearable red!
Please do pick up a red lipstick Peach, I promise you your makeup life will never be the same 😀 I did notice when I visited Japan that girls in Japan prefer a softer lip shade and this is also quite prevalent in most Japanese brand cosmetics.
All I can say is you have great taste in lippies Paris 😉
Thank you Ling! 😀
You are indeed a lipstick queen! The best part is you can sport almost any shade.
thanks for sharing.
LOL I do don’t I? 😀 Thanks Lavender!
omg, the color of Chantecaille Lip Gloss in Guava is just fabulos!!!
i soo want it in my lipstik collection.
Its a very wearable colour and quite nice to have. Do check it out 🙂
I love the reds too! Especially Barry M Lip Lacquer Crayon in Scarlet and Le Metier de Beaute Lip Creme in Framboise Creme. I recently acquired Bobbi Browns’ Old Hollywood 2 which is this siren red in the tube and with one application on the lips, but with a lip brush, it becomes a petal pink which gets redder and redder. I use it every day!
Thanks Applegal 😀 I love the idea of a siren red lip colour – will have to check out the Bobbi Brown one. I don’t own a BB lipstick yet! 😀
Hi dear, wearing lipstick has us run the risks of exposing to leads in lipstick. what’s more, when we eat and drink, we are also consuming harmful leads in our body. i think there is some studies that shown some brand have higher leads and i think YSL range is among the top. what is your view on this?
and also the brighter the color, the higher the lead amount..such as berry red, passion red etc.
Oh coming to this I would agree to Audrey too, i am curious too!
Hi Audrey. I’ve been reading a lot about this lead in lipstick scare for many years now and Snopes has exposed it as being mostly false. I do believe there are trace elements of most chemicals in many day to day items or food we consume but I also believe that most brands would by now, with heightened consumer awareness, reduce the inclusion of harmful chemicals in large quantities. So, I would be more willing to use a red lipstick from a present collection as opposed to one manufactured back in the 1800s when lead and mercury were popularly included into cosmetics like powders. I personally am not fussed with a lipstick from a reputable brand but I draw the line at unknown brands or fake goods because there is no telling what might be in them. Just my personal view 🙂
I love love the Clarins Red Terra, I agree w ya red lipstick is always right one for every ocassion and personally I love brown tone just like the Red Terra, but I can’t find anywehere for this! Any dupe for this u think? I am seriously wanting to have this one!
Yay for Red Terra! 😀 I’m afraid I haven’t looked for a dupe for this colour anywhere – have you considered just getting it? I sometimes find that it costs more in terms of energy and money to find a dupe than to just purchase the item outright 🙂
hi girl, if only i can just get from strawberrynet! of all the shades, they just doesnt have red terra anymore.. sigh!
Oh no that sucks 🙁 Perhaps it might make another appearance? Strawberrynet is like that sometimes.
I just got mine – NARS Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil (Happy Days) from Taiwan.. Fabulous!!!
