Five shades of Spring - Lips Edition

Although it may not feel like Spring due to the miserable weather it's about time we brighten ourselves up and introduce a few Spring shades into our daily looks. From subtle to bold Spring is all about colour, so here's my top five shades for Spring. 

...

First up is my all time favourite lipstick, MAC's Lady Danger. Lady Danger is a shocking red with subtle orange undertones, with a matte finish its long lasting and transfer resistant so perfect for daytime and evening. With most matte lip products they tend to be quite dehydrating on the lips, however Lady Danger is comfortable and not overly drying. Bright and bold with intense colour, would you dare to wear it?

Next up is Revlon's Colourburst Lip Butter in the shade, 090 Sweet Tart. Although more of a lip balm than a lipstick, Revlon's lip butters are hydrating and have good colour pay off. Subtle or bold, this product can offer you both with it's buildable colour. Sweet Tart is a pretty shade of pink perfect for Spring with a shiny finish and one of my favourite day to day lip products.

Next is one of last years releases from Rimmel, the Apocalips Lip Lacquer in the shade Stellar. Certainly one of the brighter shades from the range, Stellar is the perfect shade for Spring and Summer. The pigmentation of the lip lacquer is incredible with a great staying power and an opaque finish! The applicator is so simple to use allowing enough product for just one dip, the formula is moisturising and far from drying. For any bold lip lovers out there, this is definitely the colour for you..

For a neutral, subtle pink lip look no further. A lip product which constantly lives in my handbag is NYX Mega Shine Lipgloss in the shade Beige, which is not at all beige but in fact pink. This lip gloss is not only moisturising with a non sticky finish but also smells like cherries, who doesn't love a well scented product? Leaving a glossy, long lasting finish, this is certainly one of my current favourite lip products for spring and I couldn't recommend it enough.

Last but not least is one of the most recent releases on the high street and it's one of Revlon's Colourburst Matte Balms in the shade Striking Spectaculaire. Although matte, I find the balm to be quite moisturising rather than drying which is great for a matte product! Striking Spectaculaire is a gorgeous true red with a velvety smooth finish, perfect for a night out. The crayon like product is retractable so there's no need for a sharpener and along with it's peppermint scent this product will be your new best friend.
