My Top 5 Summer Lipsticks

As I said in my Top 5 Summer Nail Polishes post , I love to brighten up my outfits with vibrant nails and lips as I just can not pull off a bright eye shadow! So I thought as I let you know my favourite nail varnishes it was only fair to share my lipsticks too.

 

I have a lot of lipsticks and this post became a very difficult task when it actually came to having to choose my favourites, I just have so many so I trie to choose a range of colours, finishes and brands.

 

I very rarely wear a red shade on my lips because I just can't find one that doesn't wash me out completely, I have a cool undertone to my skin so I find red very hard to wear. I love pink shades going from baby pinks to fuchsia pinks I love them all as you will probably be able to see !!

 



 

1. Rimmel Kate Shade 20 - I love all Rimmel lipsticks but this is my favourite I love wearing it to brighten up a lbd.

 

 

2. MUA Shade 15 Juicy - This is a lovely light coral shade I love the colour and it was only £1 but the MUA lipsticks can be quite drying so I have to wear a gloss over the top.

 

 

3. Mac Crème Cup - This is a Crème sheen lipstick so it is really moisturising and it is a great everyday shade.

 

 

4. Revlon Lip Butter - Strawberry Shortcake - I have a few of these in different shades and they are just like tinted lip balms and they are great for those days when you haven't got much make up on and your just chilling in the garden.

 

 

5. Rimmel Apocalips - Nova - I love this shade, I love its lasting power, I love its 2 in 1 lipstick/gloss I just love it !!

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer Review

I have heard so much about these lip lacquers and since I have alot of respect for Rimmel as a brand I thought i would give them a go. I have so many lipsticks and lip glosses so I didn't really see the point in buying a product which combines the two together but I'm glad I did!!

The shade I really wanted was the bright pink one called Apocaliptic but they didn't have that one in my store so I got Nova and Nude Eclipse which I love and Galaxy which I'm not to sure about. I find it too dark for my complexion, I usually only wear pink or nudes on my lips and galaxy is more of a deep berry shade.

The lip lacquers themselves are really great products they give you the best of both worlds, giving you the lasting power of a matte lipstick and the shine of a gloss. Although I find that if my lips are even the slightest bit dry then the product seems to stick to those patches but if I apply a lip balm first they go on beautifully.

They don't feel too dry on the lips at first and the actual base ( the lipstick part) seems to set in place and last all day but I do find I have to re apply a gloss over the top to stop my lips from drying out.

From this review it doesn't sound like I really like this product but I do. I think they do a great job at combining a lip stick and gloss together and the shades are lovely. The price is £5.99 and so overall I think they are definitely worth the price and I will be trying to get my hands on Apocaliptic.
