Bright and cheerful colors are meant to be Springy and Summery. So does your beautiful lips !
That being said, I’d like to share my favorite collection with y’all. To be honest, this post can be categorized under drugstore products I’d say.
Here’s a few things I want to mention about my lips before I go straight to the color swatches and reviews. Mine are really dry and wrinkly so whenever I choose the lip products, I tend to buy the ones rich in moisture unless it’s a holy grail product that everyone raves about.
As you can see in the photo of my color swatches, the very first one (left->right) is from the Body Shop, three of them are from Rimmel London and another one from NYX brand. I’ve also put the color codes under each of them so that you won’t get confused. Oh and as usual, I've taken the photo in natural light to get the correct color and resolution.
The Body Shop Lip & Cheek Stain
01 Rose Pink
I’ll start my review with this dual-purpose product from the Body Shop. You can see its bright red color through its transparent plastic tube but if you actually apply it, you’ll see the instant transformation of pretty rosy pink shade as in gel-type consistency. The stain really is long-lasting on your lips but it really dries out mine at the end of the day. So I can’t help but apply a bit of my lip balm before I use this one.
Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer
101 Celestial
This would be the star of my collection, not only for Spring but for all season in a row! The most amazing fact about this lipstick is the applicator. It has a little well inside that collects the product so I can easily apply it with only one dip…..ONE DIP! Can’t stop saying how much I love it but move on to the consistency, it’s creamy and opaque but after a few hours, it dries matte but doesn’t really damage my lips at all.
500 Luna
The bright and intense coral and orangey shade of this product is definitely a must have for Spring & Summer. It even stays longer than the previous pinky shade 101 Celestial, even after I had eaten a meal.
NYX Cosmetics Xtreme Lip Cream
XLC01 Dolly Girl
Looking for a high coverage liquid lipstick? Here it is..a liquid lipstick that combines the brilliant shine and intense color that is formulated to last. As you can see in my color swatches, it shows the hot pink color with extreme pigmentation leaning towards the neon side. But it leaves a very very stubborn stain on my lips so sometimes it’s a bit hard to clean it off. The color is normally too bold for my taste but it really suits the current seasonal makeup looks.
Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte
16 Spring
Rimmel has been going matte with their line of Kate Moss Lasting Finish in a range of pink, red even nude tones. The speciality about this one is the packaging with a Kate’s signature on it. The product really glides on the lips and feel weightless but as I mentioned earlier if I didn’t take good care of my dry lips, this product makes it look even more flaky. But the color looks really chic and girly in my opinion. Sometimes, I mix it with a coral color to bring up a gradient look.
