Confessions of a Self Confessed Lipstick Hoarder Volume III

So if you’ve been keeping up with my social media posts then you’ll know of my love of lipsticks, more like a full blown obsession. It’s the last product that goes on your face before you feel done, its that bold burst of colour or shy sweep of gloss that make your lips go wow. There’s such a variety of shades and textures and finishes that it can become overwhelming. With this in mind I thought I’d share a few of my favourites with you every month, reviewing lipsticks I've recently purchased and sharing my thoughts.

While you enjoy this months favourites I should have been sitting poolside in Menorca, cold drink in hand and soaking up the sunshine but thanks to broken wifi and a missing suitcase this post is slightly late, i do apologise!  I thought I’d keep this months favourites fitting with a summer theme. My favourite summer lipsticks.



First up to the plate is a fairly new one in the collection. It is part of the 15th anniversary collection designed by Kate Moss. Muse is a beautiful warm toned red that is perfect for a summer lippie and goes great with a tan. The formula is so buttery and moisturising and keeps my lips hydrated all day. The only downside is as its so buttery, the lipstick slides and I often find myself wiping it off of my teeth. All hail the blotting sheet for removing the excess.



Next up is a new find from Revlon and are part of their Ultra HD Matte Lip Color collection. I picked up the shade flirtation which is a fairly bright pink but quite barbie pink, it’s more of a bright coral. Although this is a matte lipstick I find that the formula doesn't dry completely matte but this is definitely not something to be put off by as the formula is really light on the lips and smells amazing, it has a really sweet scent. It is also long wearing and has great colour payoff. Another plus on my lazy girl guide to makeup.


A recent purchase which just screams summer is Maybelline's Vivid Matte lipstick the shade 'One Last Tango'. It is a beautiful bright reddish orange. Despite the name it definitely isn't a made shade, it has a beautiful glossy finish which I think suits such a bright colour. As its such a bright colour I do think your skin needs a slight tan to be able to pull it off. It does have incredible staying power though, lasting through dinner and most of the evening without smudging or needing to be touched up.




The last colour I have to share at the moment is NYX’s liquid suede lipstick in Tea and Cookies. It is a mauve pink colour that can really be worn all year round. This lipstick isn’t too dark or too bright making it the perfect everyday lipstick, perfect for wearing about during the day and for dressing up at night. It has a velvety smooth texture and is super light to wear. It also has amazing hold power, I can wear for several hours without the need for a top up.
I have picked these colours with summer in mind. I don’t really wear a lot of makeup when I’m somewhere sunny, some eye makeup and a swipe of gloss or lipstick to give my face some colour and tis selection of lipsticks certainly give that holiday pop.
