Lipsticks for... When you Want a Rosy Outlook

Time for another lipstick post! Today's installment features all of the lovely rosy pink shades in my collection- those colours that are too vibrant to be nudes, too muted to be hot pinks, and not orange enough to take on a coral hue. Don't get me wrong, a few of the lipsticks below pack a bit of a colour punch, but because I have waaay too many fuchsias in my collection, I opted to include the overflow here. Regardless of whether these roses are vivid or subdued, they're all bound to make you feel pretty and feminine. Hope you spot one that catches your eye!

Here they are:

And now for some descriptions of the shades! I've included links to lipsticks that I've featured previously on the blog:

Chantecaille Lip Chic in Amaryllis is my only lip colour from this luxury brand and, let me say, it's worth the high price tag! Amaryllis is a stunning warm, reddish rose with a semi-sheer finish and a shiny, moisturizing texture. Like heaven on the lips. You can see me wearing it, here!
Guerlain Rouge Automatique in Bal de Mai is a unique brownish rose with subtle gold shimmer. It has a nearly opaque colour payoff and a slightly shiny finish. Also quite luxurious and incredibly versatile!
NARS Semi-Sheer Lipstick in Dolce Vita is my go-to "my lips but better" shade. It's cult status is well-earned; I can't rave about it enough! It's a sheer, warm rose that adds a touch of oomph to the lips without screaming "I'm wearing lipstick". See my review and photos of it, here!
Clinique High Impact Lipstick in Rosette is a lovely, slightly warm, true rose shade with a subtle golden sheen. One of the nicest Gift with Purchase Clinique lipsticks out there! See a couple photos of me wearing it here.
MAC Lustre Lipstick in Lustering is my go-to lipstick when I want a pop of colour on the lips without wearing anything too vivid or neon. It's a slightly cool candy pink with a semi-sheer, shiny finish. Ultra pretty!
Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butter in Sweet Tart is actually a near-dupe for  MAC Lustering. Also a perky candy pink, that's just a touch more sheer and glossy  than Lustering. Very girly! You can see my review of it here.
Chanel Rouge Allure in Boudoir was one of my first-ever high-end lipsticks. Like the previous two shades mentioned, it's a vivid candy pink, but with a slightly warmer hue and subtle gold shimmer. I don't reach for it often anymore, but it really is a lovely shade! You can see me feature it here (in one of my first blog posts ever- a hit of nostalgia!)
Guerlain Rouge G in Grenade is an opaque neutral rosy raspberry shade with a nearly matte finish. Ultra luxurious and surprisingly versatile. Top-notch packaging as well!

And now for a couple more super-sized photos!

There you have it! My most favourite rose-toned lipsticks. This post really made me appreciate this selection of shades. While I often tout vibrant oranges and fuchsias or deep, sultry vampy shades, sometimes a soft, rosy pink is the easiest way to feel fresh and pretty!

What are some of your favourite rosy-toned lipsticks? Any that I featured piquing your interest??
