Beautiful with brains says: Sleek Makeup True Colour Lipstick in Rose Petal. It’s such a beautiful pink shade that complements any look. And it is very pigmented too.

That’s the perfect shade for you. Perfect for daytime and nighttime looks. I love NYX’s African Queen. It’s goooorgeous.

Brittany, thanks. African Queen is a gorgeous shade too.
For now, its an old The Body Shop Roseflower lipstick which I have been trying for ages to finish up, so that I don’t have the guilt of either opening up a new lipstick or to purchase new lipsticks! I am eyeing NARS Valparaiso from the Spring 2012 collection!

Vonvon, good for few for trying to finish what you have before buying something new. It must not easy with so many tempting shade, like Valparaisio, around..
My favorite has to be NYX Round Lipstick in Tea Rose or Heredes. But to be honest I don’t really have a go-to that I will wear time and time again. I try to find a lippie that fits my look at that time.

Chriselle, I used to do that too but since I got Rose Petal I find myself reaching for it almost daily, it’s just so pretty. And it helps that it complements any type of look I do.
At the moment (and it HAS to change, as it’s limited) I LOVE Mac Gem of Roses – luckily I bought two when it was out
I do love that Rose Petal though, and will make a note of it and check it out – it certainly suits you 
Viv, Gem of Roses is very pretty too. And well done for getting a backup.

Harshleen, thank you!
I have two: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Peach, and although technically not a lipstick per se, Burt’s Bees Moisturizing Lip Balm in Tiger Lily. Both very moisturizing and probably would flatter most skin shades from lightest to olive, I believe.
Sophie, they’re both pretty shades and it’s good to know they are moisturizing as well.
I don’t have a to go lipstick right now, but it’s usually whichever lip gloss in my pouch

Xin, it’s nice to change all the time, isn’t it?
I don’t have one: Kiko Mat Lipstick 286 and L’Oréal Infaillible Rose Tattoo would be perfect, if they weren’t too drying. I prefer bold colors for lipstick, so it’s ok!
La Bisbetica´s last [type] ..Confronto: Models Own Pinky Brown VS Orly Space Cadet
La Bisbetica, those are very pretty shades, but it’s too bad about the drying texture.
haha, this is a difficult question, because I have one go-to lipstick for every colour.
Nude: M.A.C Ever Hip from Liberty of London
Orange Coral: GOSH Exotic
Pink Mauve: NYX Round Lipstick in Paris
Penultimate Pink: Chanel Rogue de Coco in Legende
Red: Dior Almee

Jyoan, that’s great that you have one for every color! I love the Chanel too, it’s very pretty!
Right now, I’m trying to avoid using the last two centimetres of my fave. lipstick. Prescriptives in Cabaret. It’s a very deep blue-toned red, somewhere between a bold wine when held to the light, and arterial blood. It stains burgundy, too, so it’s very long-lasting. But… as with so many things I love… it’s been discontinued for about two years now. I know I should throw it out, but… it’s so perfect… everything else either turns pink or orange on me!
The only way I can get a similar effect is to mix two red Nyx pencils before layering it with a thin amount of Shiro Cosmetics’ 3WolfMoon, powdered and set with SC’s Subrosia. It’s pretty close, but not *quite* the same. And it’s a lot of work. x.x But for that perfect red…
Thurisaz, sounds like a wonderful red and I can see why you’re trying to make it last as long as possible. As long as it doesn’t change smell, color or consistency, you can keep using it. And what a shame it’s been discounted! It’s so annoying to find the perfect shade only to see it disappear off the market shortly afterwards. It’s good that you’ve found an alternative, but like you said, it’s a lot of work indeed…
