Hi Everyone, π
A lot of you ask me about my makeup packaging for travels. This time I decided to click some pictures of what all I packed for lipsticks and nail paints. There are two things I considered while packing this stuff:
- I should keep colors that I could mix and match with different outfits.
- I wanted to keep a mix of high end and budget stuff because some of the high end stuff is not available at a lot of places. And we have readers on IMBB from various places. π
I mostly wore bright colors through out the trip but kept a lovely neutral peach shade to compliment with smokey eyes.

Lipsticks :
- Lotus Pure Color Lipstick in Magenta fire. It is a gorgeous magenta red color. I skipped taking the classic red and went for this rather because I felt it was the perfect shade for the wintery season. I have worn it HERE.
- Bobbi Brown Lipstick in Calypso. It is a perfect mix of coral and pink.
- Lotus Pure Color Lipstick in My Peach : This lipstick I used with two of my outfits. One of them is this. I looove this shade because it is n*de , it does not wash off color from my face and it is not that typical concealer-ish neutral shade.
- Bobbi Brown Lipstick in Jenna : It is a beautiful bright orange color. I wore it with two outfits again.One of them is THIS
I knew that I wouldn’t find much time to change nail paints so I wanted versatile colors.
- Lotus Nail Paint in Mint Magic 79 : It complimented so well with my two outfits HERE and HERE. Plus it’s such a pretty conversation starter. π
- Lotus Nail Paint in Crimson : I wanted an orange nail paint and I wanted a red nail paint. This is an orangey red. π Need I say more? π
- Chanel Nail Paint in Lotus Rouge : I wanted a deep wine shade for this outfit.
How do you decide which lipsticks and nail paints to carry with your during your trip? π

I wanna try that lotus mint wala nail paint *happy dance* *happy dance* it looked soo amazing in your ootd *drool* *drool* and i don’t have as many lipsticks as you own… i have only a few toh i take all … no confusion only lol *hihi* *hihi* I just take one shade of nail paint which is versatile… and then i already do a french manicure and go which suits all the outfits *happy dance* *happy dance*

no comments on how many lipsticks i own *silence* *silence* *ghost* *ghost*
Great Picks!
thanks! π
Would Calypso look too neon (in a nicki minaj way) on nc40 skin?
it is quite a neonish shade. If you are not used to wearing very bright lip colors, you may not really like wearing it. niki minaj is a very clashing bluish toned pink. This is a marriage between hot orange and hot pink..if that makes sense. π
Lol…you have developed your own lipstick sensibility…too good! *happydance*
I’m so gonna pick those Lotus nail paints.. π π and this is such a fun post rati.. *clap* *clap*
