Spring is here! And so is my love for all things pink. This time its showing up in my lip products.
L-R NYX Peaches and cream, Lime Crime Geradium and Centrifuchsia, YSL Lingerie Pink, L'oreal Caress in 01, Lime Crime Velvetines in Red Velvet
Having a paler skin tone means that most pink colours will work for me, with the exception of the very pale pinks which make me look sick. My favourite pink is a hot pink as I feel it gives my skin the most life. A hot pink lip to me, is like a red lip to others. Although I am partial to a red lip on occasion. My most recent hot pink lip purchase is from Lime Crime and it is called Centrifuschia. This colour is not for the faint hearted. It is a glossy and gorgeous bright pink and goes on like a dream.
I also picked up a second Lime Crime lipstick, and it too has made the cut this spring. This time it is a coral pink, perfect for spring and summer. Again the formula is the same as Centrifuschia, a gorgeous glossy finish. Both colours work on pale skins but would also look amazing on someone with a tan. Next up is a more affordable product, from NYX. In the past few months I have become a huge fan of NYX products, picking up a few new bits whenever I am shopping online. One of those purchases was one of their butter glosses. These glosses are fab! Pigmented and they have a great colour selection. My favourite of the three I picked up is Peaches and Cream, and yes it is as yummy as it sounds.
The next lipstick speaks for itself. How gorgeous is the packaging?! This is one of those colours that is verging on the very pale pink for me, but it works. The formula is creamy and the colour range is also to die for! Yay for us, not so much for our bank balances.. Next is the sheerest one in the bunch but a favourite none the less. This lipstick/balm is one of those products you can just chuck in your bag and throw on without any fuss. Its a lovely light sheer pink that leaves your lips feeling moisturised and lovely. Whats not to love?
Lastly is probably my favourite, especially for those days when you want to look a little more glam and put together. Its Lime Crimes Velvetine gloss in Red Velvet. Its a gorgeous true red colour and would work great on many skin tones. These glosses go on shiny but dry to a matte/velvety finish, as the name would suggest. They are super long wearing and do tend to stain but that's a minor issue when you see how amazing they are!
So there you have it, my top picks for Spring 2014. :) I hope you enjoyed this post. Thanks guys :)
