12 Days of Catmas: Day Four - My Favorite Holiday Lip Colors

Hello Friends!  It's Day FOUR of the 12 Days of Catmas and today I bring to you my favorite lip products during the holidays!  The following is a list of seven of my favorite products and why!  It's a solid mix of high end and drugstore products so I hope you enjoy! *I also actually took the photos this time and remembered why I never do... BECAUSE IT TAKES FOREVER*

- Too Faced Melted Liquified Lipstick in Melted Fig

This lip color is a cult favorite and it is one of my absolute favorite lipsticks that I own.  It's described as a "rosy orchid" color on Sephora's website and I think that's pretty accurate.  It has a brush tip that can be kind of difficult to use but once you get enough product on it, it's pretty smooth.

- Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick in Rapture

I'm pretty sure I've raved about this lipstick before but if I haven't said it already, IT'S AMAZING.  I love the color - I also have the matching blush - and it's pretty much my lipstick of choice whenever I go somewhere.  Sephora describes it as a "dusty rose" but I think it's more of a mauve.  The color is similar to Melted Fig so if you're debating between the two, go for your preferred texture and application style.

- NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella

Red lips were never really my thing until I found this lipstick.  I got it in the little birthday gift thing from Sephora and immediately fell in love.  It's a "scarlet red" and it definitely fit's it's name.  I wore this for Fourth of July this year but it's also a really gorgeous true red for Christmas.

- Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Wine with Everything

I bought this lipstick about two years ago (I know I've had it longer than it's shelf life but oh well) and never really touched it.  I wasn't comfortable with non nude or pink colors but after rediscovering this year, I love it.  It's a orange-y red, which totally doesn't fit with it's name, I know, but it's really pretty if you have a toned down eye look and just some winged liner.

- NYX Butter Lipstick in Licorice

I LOVE this lipstick.  It's a gorgeous dark plum color and it's super buttery, hence the name of the collection, and really easy to apply.  As it is a buttery kind of formula, it isn't long lasting or anything, but it's a great lipstick to wear if you don't plan on eating or drinking. It's also a dupe for Revlon's Black Cherry which I know is difficult to find since I had the hardest time ever finding it.

- Sephora Collection Rouge Lipstick in Crush

This lipstick was my first ever dark plum-y lipstick and since I've not been able to stay away from them.  Sephora described this color as a "deep reddish plum" but I've discovered that it looks different on everyone.  It looks more of a magenta plum on me while it looked darker and deeper on one of my friends.  Either way it's an amazing color but my only complaint is that it has this weird smell that reminds me of the cheap lipstick that used to come in the makeup sets I had when I was 8. Once I got over that oddity, it became of my go-to lipsticks.

- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen

Of all the lipsticks that I have, I've never struggled so much to find one as much as I did for this one. Of course it was extremely popular when it first came out which is why I could not find it for over a month, but once I had it in my hands, this lip color and I are best friends forever.  It's basically NYX Licorice in a cream lip color form and I love it.  I wore it to prom, Thanksgiving dinner, and honestly, I'll probably be wearing it to Christmas dinner this year too.  NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams and I have such a good relationship.  It's lasting power isn't amazing but it does the job if you're careful.  If you're a dark lip color lover and you don't have this in your collection, grab your wallet because YOU NEED THIS.

Here are the colors swatched on my arm:
