Top Spring Lipsticks

Saturday, 21 March 2015


L/R Berry Couture, Stormy Pink, Wild Watermelon, Wild Orchid, Saigon Summer, Impassioned

Now April is just round the corner and we're well into Spring *even though it doesn't feel like it half of the time* I thought it was time to put all the dark wintery lipsticks away and for the bright pastel colours of Spring to make their debut. 
When looking through my lipstick collection trying to pick my favourite lipsticks for the season, I noticed that quite a lot of them were unfortunately limited edition, but nevertheless I still managed to come up with six lipsticks which for me are a must have for the Spring season. 
For me Spring is all about wearing bright bold colours, prefereably with a nice glossy finish so you won't find any matte lippies here. 

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick: Berry Couture £7.49 
Throughout Winter I adore wearing deep plum and berry colours but when the weather starts to warm up this lipstick is the perfect transition as it's lighter but not too bright or in your face. 
Revlon describes this lipstick as a shine finish which it definitely is. 
The formula is slightly on the sheerer side but with a really glossy finish that makes it super comfortable to wear. The shine finishes from Revlon actually remind me a lot of the Luster lipsticks from MAC.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick: Stormy Pink £7.49 
Like most girls I love a good pink lipstick and this is an all-round perfect pink shade. 
The colour is not too dark or bright, but it doesn't lean too pastel either so it's really easy to wear and pull off. Revlon market this lipstick as a matte but I wouldn't agree, to me it's more of a Satin which is still really comfortable to wear on the lips. 

Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter: Wild Watermelon £7.99 
Everyone and their mothers have tried the Revlon lip butters and for me they really don't disappoint. Wild watermelon is a gorgeous pinky red shade that leaves your lips looking glossy and berry stained. For me this is the perfect Spring alternative to the classic red lip. 

 MAC Show Orchid £15.50 
MAC describes Show Orchid as a "Very hot pink" and I'd have to say thats pretty spot on. 
Show Orchid isn't just your bog standard hot pink though, it has a beautiful purple sheen that catches the light and makes it really unique. 
Being an amplified finish this lipstick is very pigmented, smooth and really comfortable to wear. 

 MAC Saigon Summer £15.50 
Heres a little secret, up until last Summer I hated orange makeup, I mean really hated it. 
I guess I just thought that it really didn't suit me, but in reality I just hadn't found the right shade to match my complexion. Last Summer orange was really on trend so I decided I really wanted to give it a try, so I hopped on down to my nearest MAC counter and the lovely lady on the counter suggested I try Saigon Summer. 
As soon as it was on my lips I fell in love. MAC describes this lipstick as a "Frosted bright orange" although to me I can't see any frost at all. 
This lipstick really is the most wearable orange lipstick I've come across, it's also a creamsheen finish so it's super comfortable to wear. 

MAC Impassioned £15.50 
My final Spring lipstick is Impassioned. MAC describes it as an "Amped up fuschia" if you love bright coral lipsticks then this is the lipstick for you. 
It does lean more on the pink side of coral which makes it a lot more wearable. Impassioned is one of those lipsticks you wear when you want to be bold and make a statement! 
The amplified finish means it lasts all day long and is super creamy which is everything I want in a lipstick.
