MY FEBRUARY GO TO LIPS

With the weather somewhat warming up, it's time to ditch the dark lipsticks. I'm not quite ready to start bringing out the bright coral colours, so here's what I typically wear in spring. I always wear some sort of lip product be it lipstick, tints, gloss or even tinted balm; so I'm always mixing it up to match the seasons.

When it comes to this time of the year I usually stick to subtle toned pinks and nudes but I can't resist a red lip. My go to nude lipstick is MUA Bare. Somehow I've managed to get through five of these and if that doesn't show I much I love them, I don't know what will. It's the perfect nude for my skin tone as it has a slight peachy tone to it, not too pale but not too many brown (a usual problem for me.) They last all day without drying out the lips too.

MAC's Pink Plaid is probably my most favourite lipstick of all time. You can't beat their lipsticks, especially not their matte finishes. This shade is a subtle pink with slight mauve undertones which compliments my skin nicely. I love No7 Shine & Tint in Posy. A pinky brown shade which is perfect on its own but also looks stunning upon other products. I love layering this upon No7 Precision Pencil in Soft Blush.

If I'm looking for a bold red lip, I'll switch between Inglot Lipstick in the shade 230 and the ELF Matte Lip Colour in Rich Red. The Inglot lipstick is more of a 'perfect' red. A vibrant red with blue undertones and I just the formula of these lipsticks, super creamy with good lasting power. ELF Matte Lip Colour has more of a pink undertone. I really like the colour against my skin when I've got some fake tan on but as for it being matte? Nope! This definitely has more of a satin finish.

What are your lipstick shades for spring?

MY GO TO SUMMER LIPS

So with all this nice weather I thought I would do a post on my favourite summer lips. Traditionally, I'm a nude lippy lover and I rarely stray from this but lately I've been feeling a little bit more confident and have decided to give the bright lips ago! Apologies for the lack of my typical 'in the packaging shot', I took the images today and they have come out RUBBISH and I've given up all hope. Anywayssss, here are my top five summer lip colours!

First up is Rimmel's Apocalips in the shade Luna. If you read my blog you'll know this little lovely popped up in my April favourites and is an all time love for me. When it comes to brighter lips, I love a good orange shade and Luna is perfect for me. It's not too in your face but there's enough orange-y-ness to make an impact. The Apocalips glide on like a dream, last for aaaaages and have such a lovely finish to them.

In comes my favourite bright of all time, Rimmel's Lasting Finish by Kate in the shade 110. This is a true orangey red and is ideal for that pop of colour I need in summer, especially because I'm typically a monochrome gal when it comes to clothes. These are so raved about with bloggers and it's well deserved! This lipstick glides on brilliantly, has amazing pigmentation and has a matte finish which lasts all day without clingy to any dry bits.

I always used to shy away from pink but I'm starting to fall in love, especially with Maybelline's Colorsensational lipstick in the shade Fuchsia Flush. An eye popping pink with blue undertones to make your teeth look whiter, who could ask for more? This has more of a sheeny finish but it is truly beautiful lipstick that I recommend to all colour lovers out there.

Fourth up comes MAC Pink Pearl Pop. This is so usually a 'not a Paige kind of lippy' but I'm loving it lately with muted eye makeup and a bronzed skin look. Like all MAC Cremesheen lipsticks, it's got a glossy almost lipgloss look with shimmering flecks running throughout, but it feels so hydrating on my lips. This shade looks perfect on tanned up skin (and pale skin too) and is the ideal girly pink lipstick. Like all MAC lipsticks, they are a lipstick dream, you get my drift?

And last, but by no means least, MUA's amazing £1 lipstick in the shade Nectar. This has to be the lipstick I'm always running too lately, and I'm hoping the swatch above will give you an understanding why. At beyond a bargain at only £1, these lipsticks are seriously faultless; cheap, good quality, amazing pigmentation all with a gorgeous glossy finish.
