I definitely feel adding a pop of colour to the lip whether it's bright and vibrant or a cool, neutral shade, it really brings the look together making you look gorgeous! I own so many lip products as I always try to step out from the 'safe zone' of pinks and neutrals, however every time I do my makeup, I apply the same colour! I guess thats just the shade I feel comfortable in and what suits my skin tone best! Instead of boring you all with every single lip product I own, I thought I'd choose a few I wear every week! So enjoy :)
These are all my favourite products ranging from High End products and Drugstore! I also swatched them for you which I'll show below:
From Left to Right:
1. The first product is the 'Maybelline Baby Lips' in the shade 'Pink Punch' - such a cute name! Is it just me who loves to read the names of makeup products and nail varnishes haha? Rather than a lipstick, this is more of a balm for the lips to help moisturise and nourish providing your lips with 8 hours of lip protection! The balm also has an SPF 20 in it which is perfect for the summer days. This product is available in six shades, ranging from the ordinary 'Hydrate' or 'Intense Care' balms to others with a pop of colour like 'Pink Punch and 'Cherry Me'. I love this product for when my lips are a little chapped as it leaves my lips feeling soft and conditioned! Perfect for only £2.99 and available at Boots or any other drugstore. Also...how cute is the packaging?!
2. Next up is a Mac product! I bought this particular lipstick for my prom last year as it is the perfect coral shade which goes perfectly well with any aqua blue which was the colour of my dress which is why it purchased it. This lipstick is a 'Sheen Supreme' in the shade 'Blossom Culture'. The name says it all, this lipstick gives an amazing sheen to the lips! It is a very creamy and moisturising shade and is very shiny and glossy on the lips. It's the perfect pink/coral shade which is great for Summer. A little more on the pricey side £15.50, but a great product and very long lasting on the lips. Can be purchased at any Mac counter or stockist.
3. This next lip product, I purchased to match the previous lipstick, 'Blossom Culture' however it can be worn on it's own if you wish as it has such great pigment for a gloss. This is another product from Mac and is a 'Cremesheen Glass' which is a gloss that provides the same creamy and sheen-filled look as a Cremesheen Lipstick. This is in the shade 'Imperial Light' which is a coral gloss with hints of gold shimmer running through it. Sadly, this is not available as one of the colours on the Mac website so I don't know whether they have removed it from the collection which is such a shame if they have! The colour is so pigmented it can easily be worn on it's own. The Cremesheen glosses retail at £17.50 and can be purchased at any Mac counter or stockist.
4. Seems to be a Mac theme here haha, I just love the lipsticks, as does everyone! This next product is a lipstick called 'Creme Cup' which again is from the 'Cremesheen' lipstick range. I just love the soft, creamy feel on the lips rather than a dry, matte shade! This is a cool tone, light pink with blue tones in it. This is very easy to wear, it can be teamed up with a dark, smokey eye for a neutral pink look or can be worn with a bright eye! This shade is perfect for fairer girls like me as it really compliments the skin tone well. Great product and is very easy to wear! Again this product, like all Mac products is a little pricey at £15.00 but I think there all such good quality and greatly colour pigmented whether it's a light or dark shade.
5.'New York Apple!' I love this shade, it's that perfect muted red with a gorgeous pink shimmer! It's not too red or too purple, it's a great in between and I think I will have to pack it with me when I head off to New York in July...just for the name haha! I tend to wear this colour throughout the Autumn/Winter months as it's that berry lip colour that becomes very popular around that time, but personally I love wearing it all year round. I looks great with pale or slightly tanned skin, with a nude eye, winged eyeliner and a berry lip! This is a 'Frost' shade from Mac which, hence the name gives a less creamy and a more frosty shimmer to the lip which can cause a lipgloss to be needed over the top, but for me I find I can wear it without! Its in between creamy and matte and I love it! Again very pigmented and excellent colour pay off! £15.00 for this one!
6. As you can see from the picture, this little baby is nearly gone! Just goes to show how much I love it. This is my second purchase of this shade from Mac and I really need to go out and buy myself another one! I think if you could marry a lipstick... I would marry this one haha! This is 'Japanese Maple' which again is a 'Cremesheen' shade. This is a light beige, shimmery colour which to me is the perfect nude! It's not too nude but not too pink. With me being pale, I thought staying away from pale colours like nudes was a big no no... it's instead a big yes yes! It looks perfect on the lips and great with many eye looks. If Mac ever discontinued this product I would probably shed a tear! £15.00.
7. Last product from Mac guys you'll be happy to hear! This is my most recent purchase as you can see it's still pointy! I've only used it a couple of times. This is a very light, pale nude...so pale I actually regretted buying it when I first applied it onto my lips! But now, I love it! This is 'Myth' which is one of Mac's 'Satin' shades. Satin shades are semi-matte so can be moisturised with a gloss. I wear a pinky gloss with this shade if I want to warm it up a little. Perfect for fair-medium skin! £15.00.
8. Back to drugstore! This next product I LOVE! I have 3 of these, however this shade is definitely my favourite. They are the 'Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers' and this one is the in the shade '102 Nova'. These are great if you love an intense and bold colour on the lip! They are a rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced with a satin smooth shine therefore they are neither a lipstick or a lipgloss. This shade is a hot, baby pink colour, if that makes sense haha? It's not as vibrant as a hot pink, but not as soft as a baby pink! It has a lovely, creamy consistency on the lips which I love and is so highly pigmented that once it's on the lips, there's no going back! Such a girly colour perfect for a night out if you're wanting you're makeup to stay put all night. This product is great for only £5.99!
10. Lastly is a lipgloss from the Tanya Burr collection! I love Youtube and one of my favourite youtubers is of course Miss Tanya Burr and I was so excited when she announced she was releasing her own lips and nail collection! Tanya released a range of colours from deep reds, pinks and nudes! My favourite is again a pink (shock) in the shade 'Picnic In The Park' which is a gorgeous pinky, coraly shade! I was surprised at how pigmented this colour actually was and I will definitely invest in some more! Also an added bonus that it smells of strawberries :) This product is available from Superdrug and online at FeelUnique.com retailing at £6.99.
That's it guys! Hope you enjoyed reading this post. What are you're favourite shades to wear on the lips? Leave me a comment below letting me know :)
