I have to admit when it comes to wearing lip products I tend to stick with a lip balm but I am trying my best to use the few lip glosses & lipsticks I have in my stash a lot more. I have some really lovely ones & it’s a shame they get overlooked so I have done a little reshuffle with my makeup & I’ve been shopping my stash and this selection of pink lip products has been getting a lot more use this past month.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Cherish

I’ve had this for a couple of years & out of the 5 this is the one I’ve worn the most. It’s a very pretty bright bubblegum pink. Its quite vibrant on the lips & feels glossy but not tacky. I love that this is a twist up crayon & it’s so easy to apply on the go. The colour is quite long wearing and I do like the minty scent of these too. I have a few of these balm stains but this is by far my favourite colour, it just brightens up my face & makes me look awake.

Collection Cream Puff in Cotton Candy

I just spoke about this in my June Favourites post & I was pleasantly surprised by how nice this looked on me & how soft and moisturising it was on my lips. The colour is a deep pink which dries to a velvet matte finish. It smells of candy floss & it’s my first matte lip product & I love it so much that I want all the other shades.

Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in First Date*

This is the sweetest soft pink shade and it makes me look really healthy and adds a really nice pop of colour to my lips. I was impressed by the pigmentation and it really translates on to your lips. It looks like there is shimmer when in the tube but that didn’t translate to the lips. It’s a shade that makes your complexion look bright and having quite a dull complexion I need all the radiance-boosting I can get. Its the perfect pink gloss for summer, the texture is creamy & glossy but not tacky on the lips. Just a lovely simple pink gloss.

Favourite Pink Lip Products

Avon Plump Pout

This is one of those minty tingling plumping glosses which is OK but not my favourite, I find it does plump a little but not that anyone else would notice. The colour is really pretty though & on my lips, it looks quite a peachy pink. Its quite a thick consistency & I like that because if I can still feel it on my lips I know that I don’t need to reapply. I like the packaging, its slim, sleek and takes up no room at all in my makeup bag. The wand applicator is a little brush which makes applying this gloss very easy and mess free and you get the most glossy finish on the lips, very pretty.

Wet n Wild Lip Shimmer

This is one of my all-time favourite lip balms as it packs a punch when it comes to colour pay off they are so opaque on the lips. It was such a bargain too at less than $2, the colour is more of a red toned pink and it gives your lips a great pop of colour. It feels moisturising and has a glossy sheen also the colour wears off evenly although it’s not hugely long-lasting. I wish I’d bought more of these when I had the chance. Also, these are called lip shimmers but this one has no shimmer at all on the lips.

Let me know what your favourite pink lip gloss/lip crayons are & have you used any of the ones I have mentioned?

July Favourites

- Vicki 6 Comments

 

I’ve not had a minute to do this post over the past week, I thought I’d best post it now otherwise it would soon be time to do my August faves. That’s how fast this year is going. I’ve been keeping my favourite products in a little basket so I could find them. I seem to have a habit of misplacing things at the moment.

These are my July favourites,

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser

SPF 20 in the shade nude – this is a really lovely lightweight tinted moisturiser. It feels so nice on the skin, it’s quite a sheer coverage but that’s perfect for days when you’re not wanting to apply a full face of makeup. It really has some staying power too. It applies smoothly on the face and gives you such a fresh-faced look and I love it.

Burt’s Bees’ Milk and Honey Body Lotion

I received this in a Glossybox and have been using it on my legs as they are so dry. This lotion smells amazing. It’s really moisturising and the good thing is it’s not too heavy and doesn’t leave the skin feeling tacky. I will be purchasing the full size when this tube runs out

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturiser SPF15

This is a really hydrating moisturiser and I’ve had it for about 5 months and used it almost every day Its lasted ages. My skin just drinks this up and it leaves it feeling so soft.

Aesop Parsley Seed Serum

I use this at night EVERY night and I would say it’s my favourite product of the whole year. I couldn’t imagine my skincare routine without this in it. It’s amazing and I’m excited to try more from the range.

5. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable lip stain in Cherish – all i need to say on these is I LOVE THEM. They’re so smooth on the lips and they last for ages.

6. bareMinerals Buxom Lips in Bambi – this lip gloss is so nice its quite long-lasting and the colours is lovely for summer I always have it in my handbag

7. Mac Eyeshadow in Naked Lunch – love wearing this colour all over the lid for a simple eye look. It’s just a pretty colour.

8. MUA trio in Innocence – a great trio and perfect for a smokey eye. These shadows are such  great quality.

9. Kleenex Shine Sheets – having an oily t zone these are a god send. I will do a proper review on these but i don;t leave home without them now.

10. Avon Supershock eyeliner in golden fawn – this is great for a subtle brown with a hint of shimmer. It just glides on effortlessly.

11. Avon Glimmerstick in black ice – another really great eyeliner just easy to wear and long-lasting. These are really good to smoke out and blend.
