• #ALipADay // #14 - Laqa and Co. Sheer Lip Lube Menatour •

A paired-down bright purple with blue undertones.

I received this Laqa and Co. Sheer Lip Lube in Menatour in a recent Birchbox and as at first quite scared of it, but since daring myself to wear it out of the house, I've come to love it. The lipstick is in jumbo crayon form which, already, makes me like it as it's super easy to apply and the twist-up applicator makes it easy to see how much you have left. It's quite a bright colour and I don't think the camera has picked it up enough but in real life it's more purpley, instead of pinky. It feels very soft on the lips and is so pigmented that you only need one layer of it. I've worn it with very simple winged liner and deep rosy cheeks and it looked really lovely. I also tried it with bronzed cheeks and smokey eyes, but for me, it was just too much - so I soon took it off! With this lipstick, I think you need to keep everything else quite minimal, as it deserves to be the focus of the make up look.
