Happy Australia Day!

I hope you all are having a fantastic day doing all those Australian things like: having a barbecue  eating lots of seafood, drinking beer, enjoying the weather and just celebrating all that being Australian means. The freedom & opportunities we have that others may not be fortunate enough to have. 

Personally I am not doing much to celebrate the day. Therefore I thought I would share my Top 5 Australian Lipsticks with you. These are lipsticks from Australian brands though some aren't Australian made. 

My Top 5 Australian Lipsticks are:

Chi Chi Viva La Diva - Super Socialite $18.95

This lipstick is incredibly smooth and moisturising on the lips. Plus the colour is gorgeous, one of my favourite shades of pink. Chi Chi is a brand I have a soft spot for, I remember my Mum purchasing me some Chi Chi items when I was a teenager and first getting into make up. 

Innoxa Lovely Lips Lipstick - Pink Peony $14.95 

For a 'drugstore' brand Innoxa have some amazingly bright colours. I love this bright pink shade, it is very pigmented and creamy but still wears well. Innoxa also have some fantastic matte lipsticks.

Savoir Faire Lipstick - Miss You $48.00

I received this lipstick in a Bella Box some time ago. Firstly look at that amazing packaging! I haven't seen a lipstick quite like it before. This lipstick is really moisturising and comfortable to wear. It is a sheer nude that with my lip colour, just adds soft shine and a healthy look to my lips. The only bad thing about this lipstick? It tastes really good so I end up licking it off my lips..

Face of Australia Lip Quench Lipstick - Lychee Crush $9.45

I don't know why I haven't mentioned these lipsticks before. They are great! Very pigmented and smooth on the lips. Lychee Crush is one of the few full on nude lipsticks that I can wear that doesn't look like I put concealer on my lips. Also has a SPF30+ which is fantastic (and quite rare in a lipstick). 

Australis Colour Inject Mineral Lipstick - Lick the Icing $12.95

This lipstick made it to the Top 5 Light Pink Lipsticks list too. It is a gorgeous baby pink that feels lovely on the lips. A strongish smell though but doesn't make it a bad lipstick. 

I realised as I wrote this post that besides lipsticks I don't have many Australian brands in my collection. I don't know why, I should try more Aussie products. Anyway I hope you have had (and continue to have) a fantastic Australia Day.

What are some great Australian brands I should try? What did you do for Australia Day?
