Lipstick Challenge Day 6: Lilac

Today's lipstick is a cheapie by the Australian makeup brand BYS.


The colour is called Flamingo Pink but in my opinion it's more an iridescent blue based lilac than a pink.


It's no secret I love BYS lippies, and this one is no exception. It's a lovely vibrant colour that's not too OTT. My only gripe with these lippies is the packagins, it looks cheap, I'm talking clear plastic lids...eeek, but the quality of the lippies are fabulous! The formulas are very similar to the NYX lippies, very creamy.


I wear this lipstick quite a lot, and will definitely re-purchase it when it runs out. At around $4AUD why wouldn't I repurchase! That's the price of my morning coffee.

FACE
Foundation: Revlon Colourstay in Nude 200
Powder: MAC MSFN in Medium

Have you tried BYS Lippies yet? And do you know any other lilac lippies in other brands? I'm keen to try others.

  5. I have a few bys lippies and i agree with you they are awesome especially for the price! some I find can be a bit too creamy though...maybe i need to put them in the fridge!

  6. @Marusya - thanks hun, challenge is almost over :)

    @Haute_style - thanks gorgeous, it's only coz lips are easier to do than doing the dark smokey eyes you're so good at.

    @Vita - thank you, suprisingly I really liked the coral too

    @Ellysmakeupbag - maybe with greyish eye makeup you can make lilac work for you? And thanks for the recommendations, I've been meaning to check out Lavender Whip but can't find them anywhere.

    @Hannah - yeah some of my BYS lippies I have to put in the fridge during summer as otherwise they just melt!

  10. Hi, just found your blog. It's excellent! I was wondering if this colour is a close match to Covergirl Spellbound? Thanks heaps.

  11. Hi Anita, thanks for your comment! No Covergirl Spellbound is slightly darker and more vibrant than this BYS one. Hope that helps.
