Top 5 Summer Lipsticks



I love a bold lip all year round but as we slowly venture out of winter I put away the dark reds and purples and whack out the bright pinks, nudes and orange lipstick. During the summer I tend to wear less eye make - up as it just melts off my face...literally....I never knew eyelids could sweat. So I find that the summer is a great time to carry off a bold lip.

#1 Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in the shade 06 Pink Pong
This shade isn't new in the blogging community but when I heard everyone rave about them I had to take advantage of my Boots points and pick up a few shades. Firstly I was drawn to the colour (I probably have many lipsticks in this shade) but I feel that this screams SUMMER! The application of this is smooth and easy and the staying power is brilliant. when removing this lipstick I would recommend using an oil based cleanser. With this shade I can really take my look from day to night.



#2 The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick in the shade 201 Red Hot Raspberry
I have a huge obsession with The Body Shop skincare but never really took much notice of their make up range but I am glad I finally did. This shade is from their colour crush range and the shades range from dusty nudes to bright orange. I decided to opt for something in the middle and chose this shade. The application is easy but I do find this lipstick smudges so best to be used with a lip liner. I love the smell of this lipstick and always get compliments when I wear it. The staying power is not as good as the Bourjois lipsticks so I do find I have to apply this frequently throughout the day. Saying that this has been my go to lipstick for work as its fairly subtle and easy to wear.

 



#3 NYX Xtreme lip cream in the shade 01 Dolly Girl
I never really used NYX cosmetics until I noticed they started stocking them at my local Next store. I was instantly drawn to the pink shades ( of course!). I like the wand of this and find that the colour is really buildable if you want the colour to really pop! I find this lip cream really moisturising on the lips without that "sticky hair in lip gloss" vibe.

 



#4 Revlon Colourburst in the shade 040 Rendezvous
Next on the Revlon Colourburst I have many wintery shades but decided as we are in summer to pick up something a little more bright. I went for this orangey shade and I love it. Its something so different to what I normally would wear and due to the "pen" like shape application is easy. the only negative thing I would say is that the smell is horrible...well in my opinion but I normally coat it with a clear gloss to avoid the smell lingering.



#5 Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in the shade 04 Peach Club 
Lastly another Bourjois Rouge Edition in the shade Peach Club. I'm not normally a nude wear so decided to step out my comfort zone and pick this up. The shade in my opinion is a orangey nude and looks great when I have fake tan on. again as mentioned I love the application and staying power of these products.
