Spring/Summer drugstore lip colours.

Now that summer's sort of here, I've been wearing brighter lip colours and really loving them! So I figured I'd share with you which are my favourites. I can't wait to dye my hair blonde again, I love the contrast between my hair and bright lipstick in the summer.



My top picks are:

Models own neon matte- the coral one? I'm not sure of the name, sorry but I think this one is pink hawaiian.
Revlon colorburst lipgloss- strawberry 006
Revlon just bitten lip stain- Flame.
Revlon lip butter- sorbet

From top to bottom- Revlon's lip butter in Sorbet, Models own matt brite- coral colour, Revlon just bitten lip stain- Flame, Revlon colorburst lipgloss- strawberry.

Models own hyper matt brite lipstick- £6

Models own hyper matt brite lipstick is one of my all time favourites. It's awesome! This shade will suit most skintones, I love the contrast between this, pale skin and blonde hair. It lasts on the lips a good 3-4 hours, but leaves a stain and wears off nicely. I really like matte lipsticks, especially ones that arent too drying, which this one isn't. It glides on effortlessly and has a gorgeous finish. I have heard some people complain that the packaging looks cheap, but personally I like it and it feels durable and good quality. They're only £6 in Boots. I'd say they were close to mac lipsticks, I will definitely be buying more!

Revlon Colorburst lipgloss-

This lipgloss was a bit of a random purchase I must say. I went to Boots one day during school and was persuded to pick it up by friends. It's a muted red colour with bit of a pink hint to it. It has got shimmer in it, but it's not really noticeable on the lips. One thing I have to mention is the scent- I hate the scent of it, it's a plasticy/ fake fruit kind of smell. Luckily it's not too strong. It wears off nicely. It's opaque enough to not have to wear lipstick, but sheer enough to look good with lipstick underneath! I like to wear it with Clinique's red-y- to wear lipstick (blog post coming soon!)

Revlon Just Bitten lip stain- £7.99

Revlon just bitten lip stains are one of my favourite products to use during the summer. They literally last all day and all night! They're amazing. Sometimes I have to re- apply but not very often. Flame is a bright, red/pink/orange colour, it's really unique. The only down side to this lip stain I'd say is the balm, it snaps far too easily, I have a few and all of the balm bits have snapped off.

Revlon Lip butter- £7.99

I really wasn't as impressed by the Revlon lip butters as everyone else but I saw this shade in Superdrug and I thought I'd give them another go.I believe this is one of their new shades for summer, anyway I ended up really liking this one, it's not the usual pink I go for because it's slightly more muted. But I find it's opaque enough to leave some sort of colour on your lips. With a lip liner underneath I love it even more. But I think this would be a good bright colour for someone who isn't as confident or who is only just beginning to wear bright colours.

Current favourites!

Current favourite number 1 is- Soap and Glory bright here bright now instant- radiance energy balm (Long name I know). I tried this about 6 months ago and hated it, but I decided to give it another go and I love it. I think the problem was before I had very oily skin, now that's calmed down a bit it works well for my skin. I'd definitely recommend it if you have combination/dry or slightly oily skin.

Numero dos is- Clinique blended face powder (shade 03.) I'm not sure how I acquired this powder but I've never really used them up until now, I just wasn't happy with my Maybelline fit me powder, so I decided to give this ago- Love it! Blog post with more details will be up soon!

Number 3 is a rather hyped product in the blogesphere which is Sinful colors nail colours. I believe they are readily available in the USA, but only recently have Boots began to sell them. I'm not a huge fan of painting my nails or spending a fortune on buying nail polish. Expensive or cheap it will chip within one or two days guaranteed, and I am so impatient waiting for them to dry. But these dry quickly and are only £1.99. Great products!

Number 4 is Real Techniques stippling brush. Nearly everyone now owns this brush, but I can definitely see why, it's fantastic quality, and it works well. I've been loving it for foundation this month.

Number 5 is a Revlon Colorstay which I actually picked up in a local store where everything is cheaper that it normally would be because the label on the packagings wrong, or the ingredients list is slightly worng etc. Since I'm praying for a bit of sun, I thought I'd just pretend it was sunny and use a bit of bronzer, it's a gorgeous product that is longwearing and gives such a nice bronzed/ tan look. It's available at amazon.

Number 6 is again a product nearly everyone has and it's the HD brows kit in Vamp. Not too much to say, just that's it's great, gives a very professional look and the colour I use is rich brown. You can get it from the HD Brows website.

Number 7 + 8 tie in together because I love using them together. They are the Collection shimmer shades in 2. Blushalicious and elf shimmer palette in sheer sunrise. The Collection shimmer shades give a lovely flush to the cheeks, I mix three of the shades together but I don't use the bottom colour on the right because I think it makes the blush too orange for my skintone. elf's shimmer palette has 4 different highlighters that all make you look dewy and fresh. I love them! I tend to use either the frosty white or the pink, on my cheekbones. Both products are very affordable aswell. You can get the elf one here, and the collection one here.

And last but not least number 8 is the beauty uk eyeshadow and eyeliner collection number 2. My friend persuaded me into buying this and I'm glad she did. To be honest I didn't think it was going to be very good at all but I was highly surprised, the eyeshadows are great quality and highly pigmented. They are slightly messy to work with because they're quite loose but for the price they're great. I'd definitely buy more of them. I haven't used the eyeliner on my eyes yet, but if it's anything like the eyeshadows I will be more than thrilled! You can get it here for £3.99.
