PR + purchased by me.
Best Lipsticks of 2014
All brands are cruelty free and many are vegan.
Fyrinnae Matte Liquid Lipsticks
I haven’t had time to write a review for these yet but they’re amazing! I’ve tried a ton of matte liquid lipstick formulas and these have been the best so far. Desire, Delicious and Vixen are the 3 shades I own and I plan on buying more. This is my favorite matte liquid lipstick formula. (vegan)
Too Faced Melted Lipsticks
I love the Too Faced Melted lipstick formula and colors. They’re expanding the line with 8 more colors, too! I can’t wait to get my hands on Villain, a dark purple! (see me wearing them) (vegan)
Colour Pop Lippie Stix and Lip Pencils
Colour Pop is a new brand but they hit the ground running with great packaging and awesome colors. My favorites include Bull Chic (black), Bunnyy (emerald green), Charm (minty green), Brills (lavender), Feminist (blackened purple), Leather (purple), Grind (magenta), Scandy (neon pink), Tuxedo (hot pink), and Lumiere (nude pink). (see me wearing them here and here)
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Technopagan
Seriously my favorite lip tar ever! It matches my hair! I’m also a fan of Pagan, Hoochie, Black Dahlia and Black Metal Dahlia. (see me wearing it) (vegan)
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Colour Pencils
Ok, these aren’t lipsticks, but you can wear them as lipsticks or mix them to create unique amazing shades! They’re awesome. They’re one of my favorite things of 2014. Of course, I wish there was a Technopagan pencil! (see them here)(vegan)
Limnit Lipsticks
These lipsticks have a comfortable formula and they come in teals, sky blues, midnight blues and other unusual shades. (see me wearing them) (vegan)
NARS Audacious Lipsticks
Such a great new formula from NARS. So luxe. Love it! (see me wearing two of them)
Performance Colors Restorative Lipsticks
Performance Colors makes a ton of lovely wearable, and some unusual, lipsticks. The formula is very moisturizing but make sure you use a lipliner! (see me wearing them)
Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipsticks
These were a big win in my book! I wore them with all day wear and minimal fading even with me eating and drinking. (see them here)
Pretty Zombie Matte Liquid Lipsticks
I’m torn on these. I LOVE the colors I have, but people have complained that the company has had issues with filling orders and some colors have never been back in stock, so I’m hesitant to recommend ordering from them. I personally never had issues ordering from them. I still love 3 Witches, Blue Moon, Purple Poison and Black Cat. (see me wearing them) (vegan)

I love that OCC colour pencil in Sebastian on you, it is super flattering! I don’t usually see you in nude lip colours.
Love that red horn.
Amazing post! love the Kat Von D Everlasting Love Liquid Lipstick. nice one 🙂
The Fyrinnae matte liquid lipsticks are my favorites!
They’re so fantastic!
What is the lippie in the main picture? The pink one on the top? Thanks!!
It’s a stock photo. However Dose of Colors Wild Child Gloss looks similar to that.
Awesome Thanks!!
Hah, just like the purple eyeshadows, I really need to try Fyrinnae and Colour Pop (at least!) for lipsticks. ‘Unconventionally’ coloured lipsticks are something I unofficially collect – especially purples 🙂 Technopagan is pretty much at the top of my ‘must get my hands on’ list!
Technopagan NEEDS to be yours!
I love how you covered a rainbow of options!
Thanks Jennifer!
I agree with SO many of these, especially the Kat Von D liquid lipsticks—I own 3 of them! Love the post, you look like a total badass in all of the shots 😉
I knew you’d never be able to pick one!! I like the Too Faced and Wearing Performance Colors Cheeky Monkey best.
Yay thanks Marcia!
Great choices. I simply will have to get Pretty Zombie Purple Poison. It’s so vivid.
It is beautiful!
Melted candy is SO pretty!
It would be stunning on you!
I’m loving Melted Candy on you!
Thanks Brooke!
Oh that emerald green shade is so bold and fun !!!
I love it and I never thought i’d love a green lipstick, Michelle!
Great picks! Can’t wait for the new Melted Lipstick colors.
I’m so excited for them too!
Melted was my favorite too – such a great formula. But you have a lot of great picks here! I need to get on board with some indie brands in a big way.
Definitely give Fyrinnae a try!
I still love my Wet n Wild Megalast Lip Colors more than anything but I just ordered my first NARS Audacious lipstick (in Kelly) and I can’t wait to get it! I also adore the Milani Color Statement lipsticks plus they are releasing a matte line in 2015… My bank account is already crying. LOL Oh, and I need to order those Performance Colors lippies!
I also purchased Kelly and it is really nice. Great pigmentation 🙂
Yeah, girl… We gotta have our namesake lippie.
I wish there was a Phyrra or Courtney!
I need to check out Kelly!
Mattes are my favorite 🙂
Great picks, I messed up and thought we were supposed to pick just one!
You didn’t mess up, I just made the post the way I wanted it 🙂
I just tried out Technopagan yesterday, oh my god it is just AMAZING! Also it looks super awesome on you, as always!
Yay glad you love it!
I love the Melted lipsticks I bought, and I can’t wait for more. I’m not sure about the ColourPop lippie that I bought, I need to try a few other colors to see if I like them better.
Aww, I hope you find one you love!
Technopagan for the win! I have and LOVE Sebastian!
Technopagan is sooo amazing 🙂
very pretty!
Thanks!
