I love pretty, pink lipsticks. They are girlie and remind me of my Barbie dolls growing up. I remember one of my first lipsticks I began wearing in middle school was called Zinc Pink. It was an ultra nude, ultra frosty Revlon shade that my girlfriends and I wore incessantly. The look was so 80’s and so not good. Ah, live and learn…
I recently became obsessed with these princess pink shades of lipstick. I like to put a sheer, mauve colored gloss over them to achieve a shiny, feminine look. Two of my favorite lipsticks of the moment are YSL #7 in Lingerie Pink and NYX #595 in Strawberry Milk. The price difference between the two is quite shocking – the YSL can be found at department stores and Sephora for $34.00, whereas you can pick up a tube of NYX for $3.99 at your drugstore or Ulta. From a quality perspective, they are relatively equal. I do feel that the YSL lipstick is a bit more moisturizing and YSL packaging is second to none. That said, you could save $30 and pick up a NYX tube and be perfectly content in my opinion.
As you can see from the swatches below, the two colors are nearly identical. If you are looking for a pretty pink lipstick you can’t go wrong with either of these pretty shades.
