With the limited amount of make up I have here with me in Tokyo, I decided to do a series to show you guys things that I've brought back with me :) I didn't wanna do it all at once because, let's face it, I didn't bring THAT little so I thought it best to do it in categories! Hopefully it'll trigger some review requests or post ideas - if you have any please let me know!
Anyway I decided to kick it off with lips - I didn't include lipbalms, but here are the lippies and lipglosses that have made the trip back with me :)
Lipsticks
Left to Right:
(for my everyday beige nude)
(for my everyday, glossy pink nude)
(not actually sure why this came with..)
* MAC Amplified Lipstick in Warm Me Up (LE)
(MLBB colour, was a candidate for graduation lipstick)
(MLBB colour, was a candidate for graduation lipstick)
(bright but dusky pink!)
(for the brave summer day cravings of reddish coral)
(Rimmel Nude Delight; 17 Beehive; GSpot Lustrus; MAC Warm Me Up; MAC Please Me; MAC Vegas Volt)
Summery colours? Meh, some of them. But I tried to choose on the basis of "what if" - what if I feel like wearing this, what if I start wanting this - so I tried to cover the spectrum in shades. I just wish I had something like MAC's Ever Hip or TopShop's Ooh La La - a pinky peach/peachy pink - anyone have suggestions? :P
I would've done the same in finishes, but I usually love pigmented lips, and 17 Beehive is the only glossy one I have - I'd love more tbh, so please let me know if you have any suggestions for that as well! :)

Lipglosses
Left to Right
* The Body Shop Love Gloss in 17
(it goes with anything and it's also gorgeous alone!)
(just in case I didn't feel like Vegas Volt ;) )
(The Body Shop 17; Jemma Kidd 15 Coral)
To be honest I haven't worn either of the lipglosses.. no idea why! Sometimes I think glosses look too wet, and I suppose in this humidity (it was 91% the other night!) I'm trying to keep my body to look as dried and unmoist as possible! :P
On that gross note, what have your lipstick/lipgloss picks been recently? :)
