I broke my no buy rule (yes, I do actually have one…sort of) to splash out on this Shu Uemura Lip Vinyl Lip Gloss in PK359 (a hot pink) and their lip pencil in PINK 360.
I love hot pink lips, I do, but it has to be the right hue and the right texture.
I love Nars Schiap Lipstick but the texture is too drying on me. Hence, I was looking for the perfect hot pink for me.
Lip Vinyl is lovely because its madly pigmented and shiny without any sparkle.

The lip pencil is just perfect – I couldn’t find anything else quite as suitable (I wouldn’t normally spend £15 on a lip pencil!).
With the lip pencil as a base and the gloss on top:

I love it! I think its a really nice hot pink (slightly brighter in real life), wearable too.
The lip vinyl was £18. There aren’t many shades to choose from in the Lip Vinyl but I like it, its different from the usual mega sparkly or extremely sheer glosses out there.

I just realised, while looking at your picture, that my old Zara eyeliners and lipliner pencils look exactly like the Shu one! Hmmm. I actually love my Zara ones, wish they still did make up.
That combo looks gorgeous on you, I like!
