When the Lipstick Gal is speaking about the best lip products of the year, one must sit up and listen!!! I have tried (and loved) so many of your favorites … most likely because you recommended them! 😂 I have one of the new Queen Musia lip balms. I LOVE IT! I really liked the Sarah Creal lip balm, too. It’s so nice. You’ve hit all of my other favorites except the Ilia lip crayons. I don’t ever hear anyone talk about them, but I really like them. They don’t last forever, but fade very gracefully on the lips-even the dark shades. Oh! My other lip find of the year was the Kulfi lip stains. I don’t really like lip stains, but these are good!
Ooh, I've been eyeing Kulfi as a brand, and I might have to do a brand review next year. I'd be excited to try out the lip stain. I've heard so many good things about the Sara Creal lip balm. Another thing to add to my list of things to try. I'm also going to have to pick up the new Queen Musia balms. Thanks so much for watching this year, and taking the time to share your favorites. Happy Holidays!
There’s really no understating how bougie the new Lisa Eldridge refillable case is! I had mine engraved with my initials and when I held it the first time I said DAMN girl, you have spoiled yourself! Nothing compares. Both elegant and could be used for self defense 😏
I love all these end of year roundups! My favorite of the year, hands down, no competition, is Lisa Eldridge Velvet Rain. Great formula, perfect colour!
Thanks so much for watching and enjoying the year end round ups. I enjoy making them so much. I LOVE Velvet Rain. It's such a pretty everyday pink. Just bright enough, without being too much of a statement.
Buenos dias Sonia! I've got my second cup of coffee in hand as I'm writing replies to the comments. It's one of my favorite things to do! I hope you're doing well, and you're having a wonderful holiday season. Besitos.
@thelipstickgal I hope you too, if your pain let you do it 💜 I am having a great time with all the Christmas traditions, my daughter (she is 6) has so much fun with calendar, elf, tree, christmas markets,... it is much nicer in Germany than in Spain (my opinion). I am not that into Christmas myself but the kids happyness has no price. So enjoying it nowadays. I wanted to ask you... would it be possible to have a photo swatch of LE velvet blush, medici & velvet blush lightly? I am finishing my velvet blush lightly, I prefer velvet.blush because it has more red/plum, at least on me, and I think I may try the medici but I am not sure how different these are. I know you made a video comparing these but it would be great to see these 3 together. Only if it is possible for you and no rush with it 😘
I tried the Queen Musia lipstick in Montreaux, and I adore it. One of my favorites. Another I found this year (although it's an older formula and shade) is the Chanel Rouge Coco in Antoinette. I became obsessed with finding the perfect brownish tone for me and I found it in that shade -- plus it's very hydrating. Love your earrings! Thanks for sharing your favorites.
Thanks so much. I made the earrings myself several years ago. I love a sparkly dangle! I really like the Queen Musia formula and I also love Montreaux. I haven't tried the Rouge Coco line at all, but I need to. I may start with Antionette. Thanks so much for sharing your favorites. Happy Holidays!
I really like the Lancome Balms. The Coral shade is so pretty, and just the perfect shade to perk up my face. I might have to get a few more. I really like them. Thanks for sharing your faves and happy holidays.
I absolutely loved the new MAC Macximal Matte and Satin lipsticks. Their new matte formula is probably my new favourite matte formula or tied with Dior and Guerlain's velvet lipstick but I'm tempted to give it to MAC because of the cheaper price point. I also really love the satin one but do find in one shade (Brave Red) I have it fades after a few hours without eating and drinking, but then another shade (Dubonnet) I have doesn't do that! It doesn't get on my teeth at all which is shocking for a satin lipstick. I also find the satin formula very comparable to the recently reformulated YSL Satin lipsticks, not the same but definitely a similarity. I did also really love the YSL Satin lipstick and Shiseido TechnoSatin lipstick but those got eclipsed by MAC. I never got round to trying the reformulated Dior Velvet lipsticks but will need a new tube of 999 soon. I didn't try the reformulated Guerlain Rouge G lipsticks and likely won't since I'm still annoyed at the refill packaging changing. I've been really wanting to try the Prada lipsticks but they aren't sold in New Zealand and I don't want to pay large shipping fees to get them. MAC also released new lip pencil shades and the shade Chili Rimmed is the perfect burnt orange red pencil I've been looking for! I'm eyeing up their new red pencil shade Centre of Attention when I run out of Cherry since Cherry looks hot pink on me not red. I also saw MAC's next lipstick collection of solely nude shades leaked... and I'm very tempted to buy some even though I only wear red lipstick. I don't know how MAC did it but for me they really turned it around this year and I have mainly been using MAC products this year. Thanks for the great video.
I was so impressed with the reformulation of MAC's matte formula. I still have to try the new satins, but I love having Ruby Woo in a formula that won't dry my lips out. I should've included it in this round up, but forgot about it. You have so many lovely lipstick favorites. I haven't tried the Technosatins from Shiseido, but I'll put them on my list. I'm also very upset that Guerlain changed their packaging AGAIN. It's such a bummer that they did that. I have 2 of the new formulations, but I have a beauty budget that allows me to pick up lots of different things. Are you able to get the Poppy King lipsticks in NZ? I know they're available in AUS, but not all shades are available here in the US. I've been interested in trying some of the 90s shades. They're a re-release of the 7 Deadly Sins Lipsticks that she made in the 90s. I'm curious. Thanks so much for making the time to watch and share your favorites today. Happy Holidays.
Hola from Mazatlan Mexico. My favorite lip purchase for this year is the WetnWild Soft blur matte lipstick, which is a dupe for Violet's French bisou balm. I have most of the shades. I don't feel that they are drying. Since I'm in Mexico I am missing all the great sales. I'm saving so much $$$. I did get Merit limited edition set. I'm not impressed with the shades. I didn't feel they flattered me. They look great on you. I am enjoying all your year end reviews. 😊😊
Hola. I hope you're have a wonderful holiday season in Mazatlan. So much warmer than Washington state. I haven't tried the Wet N Wild Soft blur matte lipsticks. I'll have to look for those next time I'm at the drugstore. When Wet n Wild gets it right, they hit it out of the park. I'm so glad you're enjoying them. I'm so sorry that the Merit Dress Code set didn't work for you.
I love these round ups! I have 2 shades of the Lancôme balm and really enjoy them. One shade has more of a white base than the other which isn’t great for me, but I love the feel of them. Dior Addict is another of my favorite formulas. I got a few shades of the rereleased Revlon balms- Honey was gritty but the others that I got are perfection just like I remember ❤ I got a shade of the new Nars lipsticks recently. On the Nars website they have a recommendation to replace Tolede (my perfect pink)- it is not anywhere close to Tolede 😂 Its neon orange and I ended up sending it back. I took my old, broken Tolede bullet to Sephora to swatch a bunch and found that the shade Decadence is very close- only slightly more brown based. I haven’t been able to put it down since I got it. Lancôme reformulated their liners this year and they are almost exactly like the Charlotte Tilbury lip liners. I’ve really been loving them. Charlotte Tilbury Mark of a Kiss lip liner has been a great warm red liner for me. It stays red and never skews pink. Hope you have a great day!
Thanks so much for sharing your favorites. I might have to try the new Lancome lip liners. Sorry it's been so hard to find a dupe for Tolede. I remember having that shade and loving it. It was a perfect everyday lipstick. I feel like the new line of NARS lipsticks all pull very warm. I have 2, and they're just ok in my opinion. I miss the old formulas and shades. Thanks for watching today, and happy holidays!
My surprise product was YSL Lash Clash mascara. I only bought drugstore because they have a short shelf life, but I was amazed at how much better the YSL is! My lipstick surprise was the Merit signature satin in 1990. It was also a splurge and was pleasantly surprised. So I ended up with a Lisa Eldridge and Tom Ford. 😊
Ooh, I love the Merit Signature satin in 1990. It's such a beautiful brown. I hope you're enjoying your luxury lipstick splurges too. I haven't tried the Lash Clash, but I have it on my list of things to try. Thanks for watching today.
They say the Nip is your perfect lip color. I have always thought what if I just popped it out at Sephora and started switching!🤣. I have been on a lipstick no buy. Happy holidays to you and your family ❌️❌️
Hee-hee! That would be hysterical. I feel like there are several shades of the Glossier liners that would work for me, but that's perhaps because they're skin native shades. I love the 2 I have and reach for them all the time. Happy holidays to you and yours too!

Clicked on this so fast! The red lips are 🔥 ❤😘💄💋
Thanks! I love the red lipstick from Guerlain. It's so punchy and bright.

My favorite lip balms this year are Glossier in Wild Fig and Ole Henriksen in Strawberry. I’m also a fan of the MAC Squirt stick balms.
@@carols.4252 I love the balm dot com and the Ole Henriksen. I haven't tried the Mac ones, but they look really cool. Thanks for watching today.
I bought Eadem based on your recommendation. Thank you. 💚
I hope you're liking it. I think it's such a beautiful product in beautiful packaging. Thanks for trusting my recommendation.
@@thelipstickgalI love it. 💚
Watching with a cup of coffee in my hand. Buenos días desde Alemania preciosa 💖

This is a wonderful list the lip product release of the year for me is LE rouge experience in the shade ashes of roses
Ooh, I love that one too. I was wearing it yesterday. Such a beautiful formula and a stunning shade. Thanks for watching.

@ Happy Holidays to you too!
I echo the MBM lipsticks and YSL loveshine, I find myself reaching for those over and over.
They're so good. I really like them. Thanks for watching and happy holidays.
@@thelipstickgal you too!

Yes! Try the new velvet teddy and overstatement! Theyre the best!!!
@thelipstickgal
Off topic but where did you get those lovely earrings? ❤❤❤
@@Ari_Kle thanks, I made them several years ago. I love making jewelry, and many of the earrings I wear I make myself. 😊
@ Aha! I have a massive bead collection and wondered if I could make them! They are lovely - great choice of bead. ❤️
