You know those days when you just don’t have the time (or let’s face it, the energy) to put on a whole face of makeup?  Those are the times I reach for lipstick and like magic, I’m ready to conquer the world!  Here are my 5 “Santa approved” lipstick holiday kits that I’m hoping to see under the Christmas tree this year. 🙂

lipstick kits I'm dying to tryMAC “Nutcracker Sweet Nude Lipstick Kit”

Wearable nudes.  Can we ever have enough nude lippies in our makeup repertoire?  I think not.  MAC lipsticks have always been a favourite among makeup artists.  Not just because they wear well but because MAC is always on trend with new colours.   If I need an usual lipstick colour I always head into MAC.  They never disappoint.  In this holiday kit there are 4 really pretty toffee coloured nude shades that  are perfect for a paler skin tone.  I love the fact they are mini sized which makes them perfect for travel.

Sexy packaging and quality products.  Kat Von D does both perfectly.  When I’m choosing lipsticks for my pro kit, packaging isn’t important to me as I depot all my shades into a Vueset palette. But when I’m on the hunt for new lipsticks for myself I do love pretty packaging and Kat Von D’s studded kiss packaging is really lovely.  Sexer, Cathedral and Hellbent lip shades are bestsellers for a reason.  These colours are wearable for many women including myself!  I love the hot pink colour in this trio as it’s one of those shades I can pop on and have it transform my look instantly.  Dark scarlet red is a perfect winter red and the rosy nude shade is a great everyday lippy.

I like having a range of lipsticks in various textures and finishes.  Sometimes I feel like wearing a satin finish, other times I reach for a sheer finish and then there are those times nothing but a matte finish will do.  If you haven’t heard of Colour Pop Cosmetics, be sure and check them out.  They have a great range of products.  I love the staying power of a good matte and the colours in this kit are all useable.  I can see myself getting plenty of mileage from the colour “Baewatch.”

If I found this heavenly lipstick kit under my Christmas tree I would be the happiest woman alive!  Everyone who knows me knows how much I adore BITE beauty.  Their lip products are all sensational and the colour ranges are always spot on perfect.  This kit is lipstick paradise!  Every colour I could ever imagine wearing with a creamy luxurious finish.  (just in case my hubby is reading this, you can only buy this kit online!!)  Plus, hey,  it’s a Canadian company.  Three cheers for that!

 

 

lipstick kits that vicki lea recommends for the holidaysSephora Collection “Mini Cream Lip Stain Set”

I love me a good old lip stain!  This set from Sephora has 4 fabulous wearable shades that go on creamy and then dry matte.  I really like the fact these lippies are mini in size.  Although I love a good lip stain it’s not something I normally wear every day.  There is a time and a place for lip stains and on those days when I need my lipstick to last for hours and hours, lip stains are my go-to product.  I mean….it’s only $15.00 Canadian for this set!  What an excellent stocking stuffer idea.
