Hey everyone!!
It’s not Heather here today, we have swapped
blogs but don’t worry - it’s just for one post!
My name is Gemma, I have a little blog called
The Lipgloss Lily and I
have a severe addiction to makeup! I
especially love bright colours and now that Spring is here I can finally get
into my favourite lipsticks!
So I thought I would just give you a quick list
of my favourite lip colours for this season and I‘ve picked ones under £5.00 so
everyone can try them!
The
first is this ELF lip stick in the colour Captivating:
This colour really isn’t for the faint
hearted!!! It’s a gorgeous, brilliant
orange colour that I have been hunting for, for ages! I tried loads that were either very muted or
very pink toned but this one goes on your lips as the colour you see in the
picture! You could probably fab it on
with a brush on your finger for a lighter colour but I really like it this
way. I think it looks really nice with
really soft make up and light, peach cheeks!
If
you’re not too keen on that bold of a colour then you could try the Barry M Lip
Paint in 151 Sunset:
This is a really pretty coral colour!
It’s a kind of deep reddish/pink with orange undertones and it does
looks a lot more orange in this picture than it does in real life! It’s a kind of alternative to a red lip as
it’s still quite a bold colour but one you can wear during the day! This is my favourite lipstick at the moment!
The next one is a really pretty lip stain from ELF in the colour “Birthday Suit”:
This is such a cute, girly colour. I
have always been a bit wary of lip stains as most I’ve tried have either dried
my lips out or not worked but this one seems to do the trick! It lasts for ages and comes in a nice
packaging that’s easy to carry around anyway.
It also comes with a lip gloss so you can use that if you’re not a fan
of the matte look on your lips. This is
a really easy colour to wear and looks great with simple black liner.
The next one is an MUA lipstick in Shade 12:
This is a darker pink than the last one but also has a slight glitter to it
which is soo nice! I only got this one
the other day but I’ve already had it on a couple of times and it’s really
pretty without looking like you’ve just been kissing Edward Cullen! The swatch
above is just one swipe but you can definitely build this colour up to get a
darker, more opaque colour which is what I’ve been doing. It’s just a nice alternative to a normal
lipstick!
The
last one is yet another ELF one (can you tell I’m a bit obsessed?!) and it’s a
lip stick in the colour Gypsy:
Now this is a slightly darker pink so maybe not
an obvious choice for Spring but I think that with a gloss on top this is such
a fun, bright colour. It’s a slighty
deeper shade of pink, almost plummy kind of and if you just put this on your
lips then it is kind of dark. What I do
it put my ELF base or concealer on my lips first, then the lipstick using my
finger and then a lipgloss. It gives
such a soft, pretty colour and I think it looks gorgeous. It also smells great which a bonus haha is!
So I hope this gives you some ideas for
affordable lipsticks this Spring and that you’ve enjoyed reading this post as
much as I have enjoyed writing it! If
