Helloooo! Today I thought I would do a post about my faveourite lip products! I've been reading a lot in magazines recently that bright colours are popular this Summer, so I thought I would share my own products with you.
Before I go straight in with colour, I wanted to write about a product called "sweet lips" from Lush which is a lip scrub that contains actual sugar grains. It smells really sweet and is good for clearing away dead skin to make your lips ultra soft. I use this as a pre-lip product so that my lips are sweet and soft, ready for a layer of lip balm or colour.
For my next layer to keep my lips really soft, I will use a lip balm. One of my faveourite lip balms are from the "Born Lippy" collection from The Body Shop and the one I like the best (which I can't find the name of) is the orange, slightly glittery one because I just really like the fruity smell of it.
I have several others of the collection which I got for Christmas and so far, I love them all. If you are going for a really clear, natural look, then use the lightest pinky colour (its the thrid one along in the picture) as its almost completely colourless and doesn't have too much sparkle or shine.
Another product for the second layer has to be The Body Shop's 'roll on' in a cocunut flavour. I strongly recommend this for dry lips but as it is quite watery, I don't recommend going over this with colour as it might not stay very well. However, if you want a really natural, dry free and colourless look, then this is a good product to consider.
Now for the third option of colour! One of my top brands for lipstick is Topshop. I like them because (as you probably guessed from the post so far), I get really dry lips and these lipsticks are really summery, vibrant and bright but also are very wet and moisturizing. They also stay on for a long time too and I don't really find myself topping it up in the day too much.
I got mine in the shade "beguiled" which is a nice, purple, bright colour. If you wear one layer of it with a lip balm then it comes across light and Summery but if you wear a few, generous layers of it, it will become darker and more suited for winter. So it works for both Summer and winter.
My next top summer colours are from Max Factor and they have to be my faveourite from this whole post. I like them because they are really vinrant, they have there own individul smells, they are moisturizing (like the Topshop ones), and even though this has nothing to do with the actual lipstick, I just really like the packaging (haha!)
I got two, one in a colour called "ruby Tuesday" and one in "pink brandy". I briefly showed "pink brandy" on the side bar of my home page but I was just writing about how its nice and summery, while the other one is more brighter. There just both really lovely quality lipsticks.
This picture is showing "ruby red" again by Max Factor next to a bright red gloss from Revlon. I think these two colours go really well together for a glossy, bold, deep red colour. This picture is also showing a peep from a page in the newest issue of Glamour Magazine, just as little inspiration for the bright and bold reds and pinks which are in fashion this Summer.
In the first picture below, it shows just the Revlon gloss by itself which creates a nice pinky shimmer. Then in the second picture, it shows the combination of the two products together. Although in this picture it looks really pink, it actually looks like a really bold red, I think it was just the lighting or effect which made it look really pink.
Thank you for reading this blog post. I hope you have some inspiration of lip products for the Summer. If you have any requests for my next blog post or any questions about this one then please leave any comments below. Byeee!
