Transition To Summer: Lips

summer lip products

I'm sooo excited that Summer is just around the corner and the warmer weather has already started, which encouraged me to talk to you today about lip colours that are perfect for Summer!

So, starting from the left, my first pick is the Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart which is a lovely bright colour just destined to be worn in the sun. Next is the Topshop Lipstick in Oh La La, a bright coraly peach which makes me think of yummy cocktails! Then, next to its friend is the Topshop Lipstick in Rio Rio, a bright orange red. I don't normally lean towards orange red colours but in the Summer they bring a bright pop of colour which looks quite tropical. Both these Topshop Lipsticks are a matte formula which means they are long lasting on the lips.

Second to last we have the Revlon Lip Butter in Wild Watermelon, which is more fuchsia, warm toned pink than Sweet Tart. I've included two of the Revlon Lip Butters because I absolutely love the formula! They are extremely pigmented but still moisturising on the lips, great for a bold colour. Similar in colour but slightly lighter in formula is the Bourjois Colour Boost crayon in Red Sunrise. I love the Colour Boost crayons for the same reasons are the Lip Butters and this colour is perfect for Summer!

If you prefer a lighter formula or more sheer wash of colour in the summer why not try the Maybelline Baby Lips in Electro Pink which gives a bold wash of bright pink while trying providing the moisturising of the Baby Lips formula. Another light option is the Lancome Juicy Shakers, pictured in the shade Berry Tale, as they are extremely moisturising because of the oil formula which still giving a nice wash of colour.

What lip colours do you like to wear in the Summer? Do you prefer nudes? Let me know!
