I must say - I am starting to worry myself. I have found that lately I have been some craving a dark tan and pale pink lips, one of the worst pairings in existence! I have no idea where it has come from...maybe the recent bout of wag wannabes in the press have subconsciously been inspiring me? Oh Lord. If I ever look like this, please schedule an intervention for me!
ANYWAY - you want to read about lipstick, not my 1/4 life crisis, right? I bought 17 'Heart Throb' sometime last year when it was part of some sort of three for two offer at Boots. With it not really being a 'me' lipstick colour (AKA, not nude) I've hardly worn it - but I rediscovered it recently and have been loving it ever since!
[[ Another perfect lippy colour for Spring! ]]
'Heart Throb' is a pale, but light, blue toned pink which also doubles as a decent blush colour for a fresh, clean look. It reminds me a lot of Pantone's 'Colour of 2011', 'Honeysuckle'. This is the only 'Lasting Fix' lipstick I have found particularly drying, but it's nothing a slick of balm can't handle. I don't often notice wear time for lippies since it's rare that I don't have my lips pressed against the rim of a cup of tea, leaving lippy marks behind, so I couldn't fairly comment.
Now I'll do that annoying thing - 'Heart Throb' has been discontinued. However, pale pink lippies are a staple of any line aimed at teenagers so their other shades 'Dreamy' and 'Marshmallow Whip' might be worth a look! 17 'Lasting Fix' lipsticks are available from Boots for £4.29.
Gorgeous shade, shame that it's been discontinued. I really like 17 Lasting Fix lipsticks, I find that they wear really well and are such good value. x
ReplyDeleteThat's a really lovely color. It looks good on you. =]
ReplyDeletelove the color not too pale just perfect
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! I can relate about the wag thing... I like to wear fake tan (a lot) but I am always immediately attracted to pale pink lipsticks :( that one looks gorgeous though :) love!! Xxxx
ReplyDeleteThat colour is absolutely perfect for you, I'm currently on the hunt for a lipstick that just really suits my colouring (blonde, pale pink toned skin, dark eyes) but I'm having no such luck!

Oh wow, it's gorgeous! Great pictures x
ReplyDeleteperfect perfect colour, and you make me want to buy it xx
ReplyDeletevery nice .
ReplyDelete@ Lily, it is a shame but I bet there are plenty of similar shades. I love the 17 lasting fix lippies too, 'Hot Chilli' is a fabulous colour if you ever spot it!
ReplyDelete@ Manda, thanks, I'm surprised I found a blue-pink which suits me.
@ CopyCat, I'm still thinking I need a brighter one!
@ Hannah, haha, I hope we both come across other lippy colours to lust after, then! The minute I look too wag I will be terrified for my mental health :P
@ Sarah, try a true neutral pink or one with a bit of a touch of coral :)
@ GABY, thanks!
@ Liloo, thanks! Shame you can't buy it anymore :P
@ beauty combat, indeed it is :)
