My Top 3 Summer Lip Products

21 Jul 2013

Now that Summer is in full swing I thought I'd share with you my 3 favourite lip products for summer. I've really gotten into my lipsticks/butters/balm stains at the moment and am loving wearing them! Sometimes they're all you need to complete an outfit and make you feel dressed up :)

First up is a new favourite: the MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Crosswires. I won't harp on about it too much, as I've just written a full review on it (here) but I love the pink toned coral shade. Its perfect for a summers day and would look great with a tan! Its also so moisturising which is great on a hot day, when you don't want your lips to dry out. It also lasts pretty well when drinking a lot - which on a summers day is essential!

Secondly is the Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti. I reviewed this back in April (here) and I'm still loving it now. Its perfect when you just want a touch of subtle colour to complete your look, and being so moisturising is great for everyday wear. Again this is quite a corally pink (have you noticed a pattern?) shade, but it definitely leads more to the orange side of coral than Crosswires does. I love that the texture of the Lip Butters means that it fades evenly on your lips throughout the day, making it easy to top-up and doesn't leave your lips looking dry.

Lastly, is the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Rendezvous. Revlon have been bringing out some really great lip products recently! I love love love balm stains, I love how easy they are to apply and how well they stay on the lips. If I was rich I'd buy all the Clinique Chubby Sticks - but as I don't, the Revlon dupes will keep me going for now. Once again, this is a really pretty coral shade - I think I may have an obsession! Definitely the most orange out of the three I'd say and the most moisturising on the lips. I love this for everyday wear.
