 On my quest for the perfect 90's lip, I have finally found it!

I can't believe I have only just got round to trying Kiko Products, I'm so impressed with the stuff I have tried so far, I can't believe how cheap the brand is. They really are on to something good, especially with their lip products.
Velvet Teddy from MAC
It's a matte lipstick, which for me is great because it's super opaque and long wearing. If a matte finish is too drying for you, or just isn't your thing, MAC Viva Glam 5 is a great pick too, and my favourite!


So the first things first, the perfect 90's lip (in my opinion) is a pretty muted brown/nude lip, think Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Aniston in friends and you're there!
I think a brown nude suits both fair and darker complexions, and humble brag but I love it on me! I'm a mac lipstick fiend but I know they are pretty pricey...so if Mac isn't quite within your budget or if Velvet Teddy is out of stock as usual, here are some other suggestions:
MAC Viva Glam 5
Clinique Bamboo Pink
Kiko 300 lip liner worn alone with a bit of lip balm on top of prevent it from being super drying
Kiko Rosy Beige (which are on sale at the moment!)
Rimmel Colour Show off in 'Have fun'

*Just to confirm I did not personally pay for this item*


I got this little beauty in Boots after spending over £15 at the Max Factor stand, along with a False Lash Effect Mascara and a nail varnish in Blue.
I'm usually rather sceptical when it comes to lip products that claim to be 'long wearing' and to be completley kiss, food and party proof...and this may be one of the only times that I have been proven wrong. I was lucky enough to get this lipfinity box set a couple of days ago, and oh boy do I love it! 
It's rather different to a regular lipgloss/lipstick..you apply a sort of 'paint' to your lips, allow the colour to dry and then apply the top coat. If you're not a fan of a shiny look on your lips, I don't think you're going to get on well with this stuff, as before you apply the topcoat your lips feel gross and dry..but maybe that's just me!

I'm super, super happy with this product, I've tried and tested it for a few days now, drank with it, ate with it, went shopping and even had a few cheeky kisses here and there (purely for testing purposes of course!)...but I have to say, all in all, kudos to Max Factor for this one! If you want kiss proof lips with a pop of colour this christmas, look no further! 

I got my Lipfinity in 'Essential Natural' it's a nice pretty pink, perfect for every occasion! 

You can buy your own at Superdrug, Boots, Amazon and of course you can find out more at Max Factors online store.
