Summer Lips
----------------perfect pouts for
summer kisses!
Like any self respecting cosmetic
lover the pursuit of the perfect lipstick is never ending. It is not only the
shade that is important, it is also the texture, the finish and the staying
power that must be taken into consideration. I have chosen five lipsticks for
the summer season that I have been using again and again. Each one is a great
little find in its own right. Let us have a lookies!
This lipstick
is just a great shade for the summer. The Fuchsia Pink shade is really vibrant
and bright but not “gody” or over the top in any way.
Theses
lipsticks are really have a really light weight feeling on the lips, they actually
feel really nice to wear.
The finish is
matt and slightly opaque, I found them to have very little or no shimmer but I
have to admit I like this finish as allows for a bright lipstick to be worn
during the day without being too glossy.
The staying
power is relatively good but by no means 14 hours of wear. I found that the
colour did last but it did need to be reapplied quiet regularly. I do really
like this lipstick not only for the reasons mentioned above but also for the
fact that it is a real feel good shade and smell amazing like cherries.

Super Stay 14 hr Lipstick in Shade 430 Stay
With Me Coral by Maybelline
Another
great shade of lipstick for the summer! Coral lipsticks can be difficult to
wear at times (well for me anyway) so I delighted to find this lipstick. In
fact it was the first lipstick in this range that I bought and it really
impressed me.
The texture
and the fragrance is similar to the lipstick above and the finish is really
matt which I love for this shade as a glossy shiny coral always tends to be a
little on the orange side for me. It is really pigmented so the colour pop is
excellent. It can be built upon by applying a little extra if you desire a
richer more vibrant lip look.
The staying
power again is similar to above but again due to the love for the shade of this
lipstick reapplying does not bother me!
This shade
is very versatile meaning it can wear day or night.

Super Stay 14 hr Lipstick in Shade 180
Ultimate Blush by Maybelline
The last of
my favourite lipsticks from this range this lipstick is perfect for day wear. The
shade falls in to the pinks category it is a frosted pink with a fabulous hint
of shimmer. Once again it has a lovely fresh fragrance. The texture is a very
delicate and light resulting in a shimmer finish. It is really nice lipstick
that is a staple in my hand bag at the minute.
Th is lip product
is a lip gloss that acts like a lip stain.
It is really natural looking and offers a hit of colour. The shade I
chose is a natural pink. It gives your lips a nice sheen but is not too glossy
or sticky. It feels light on the lips, has no fragrance or taste and has goods
staying power. I like to wear this on its
own for a natural look or over a lipstick to add a little shine and gloss.

MAC Lustre
Lip Stick in Altered Beige
This lipstick is of the Lustre variety meaning that is gives
a fabulous sheen to the lips. The shade is very delicate and light. It is
creamy yellow beige that, in my opinion, would suit almost all skin tones. I
intend to wear this lipstick as day wear primarily but also as night wear for a
makeup look that focuses on eyes and lashes. This is the perfect lipstick
to have as staple in your handbag.
I am sure I will no doubt find a
few more lipstick over the rest of the summer but until such a time I am
enjoying using these “great little finds”.
What is your favourite shade of
lip stick for the summer?
