Top Pink Products for Spring

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favourite colours to wear in Spring is Pink. It just seems like such a spring appropriate colour, corals and brighter neon colours are more summer. But neutral and pastels are always in for spring! I have put together my favourite pink products that are perfect for this spring.

 

Blush and Eyes

 

My favourite brand for when it comes to blushes is definitely Sleek. The products are amazing quality and really pigmented. I have the Sleek Blush in Pixie Pink. It's a gorgeous bright pink that is just the right pigmentations, by this I mean it isn't too bright but not too subtle. Just right!

 

The other blush in the photo is from Topshop and its a cream blush in the shade Flush. It's a cream to powder formula so it blends nicely and gives your cheeks a nice pink flush, hence the name :D

 

I have a little eyeshadow that is so pretty, the swatch of it doesn't show how stunning it is in real life! It's from No7 in Antique Rose and is a lovely gold and pink eyeshadow. It is nice and shimmery but also very natural at the same time!

 

Lips

 

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you may know that I do love my pink lispticks. I find them so easy to wear and they can suit anyone with any skin tones! For this post I decided to pick out my most pink lipsticks that would be perfect for spring. Most of my favourite lip products are from Revlon, so I have included the Revlon Matte Balm in Elusive. This is a gorgeous medium toned pink, its so natural and is also really creamy and not at all drying.

 

I also love the Revlon Lip Butters and I chose the shade Strawberry Shortcake. The lip butters from Revlon are so hydrating and feel like lip balms, this shade is a light nude pink and is such a nice spring shade.

 

 I think MAC lipsticks are such amazing quality so I couldn't not include it in this post, its the MAC lipstick in Chatterbox. Again, its a very pretty everyday pink. Finally, to change things up a bit I have included a lip gloss.

 

 It is the Tanya Burr lipgloss in Aurora. I absolutely love this lip gloss, especially the name. Its actually very good quality and I have a whole post dedicated to it here.

 

Brushes

 

I know, I know, I only chose these brushes because of their pink packaging. But it was too pretty to ignore and just fitted nicely with the post! So from top to bottom in the picture (they are all from Real Techniques by the way, I'll just tell you the name of the brush.) Multitasking Brush which I use for powder and sometimes blending in foundation, Setting Brush which I use to blend my under eye concealer and the Stippling Brush which I love to use for foundation.

 

So those are my top pink products for spring. I hope you enjoyed this post and tell me your Top Spring Products in the comments below! Thank you for reading.

The 1 Minute Makeup Products

 

Ever been in a rush and you have 1 minute to do your makeup? Well, you don't need to worry anymore as I have picked out some time saving makeup products that will take 1 minute to apply! From eye makeup, to lips and even blush and highlight, these products are super quick and easy to use.

For cheeks, I have chosen the Benefit Fine One One cream blush because it is so fast and easy to use (as are most of these products.) But this product is different from any ordinary blush because you only need to swipe the trio shades across your cheeks, blend and done! As you can see there are 3 colour of blush shades (including a shimmery highlight) which blend perfectly together. I also just want to add how gorgeous the packaging is, its a really pretty rose gold shade! If you don't want to use a blush, then a highlight is a great way to instantly brighten your face. Again, a Benefit product(their cheek products are amazing!) I have chosen the Benefit High Beam. As it is a liquid highlighter, all you have to do is dot a few blobs on the tops of your cheekbones and blend. Super quick and takes literally about 15 seconds!

If you are in rush, you'd probably skip the eye shadow, but these cream eyeshadows take no hard work and effort whatsoever. The Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze will probably take a bit more time to blend as it is quite a dark colour. But if you want to create a nice bronze eye shadow look, then this is great for that! The creamy consistency is very easy to use and it blends like a dream. I also wanted to include the Collection Work the Colour Eye Crayon in Vintage Blush because it literally takes me about 5 seconds to apply, seriously! Its a gorgeous shimmery pink shade so it is very natural and easy to blend as well!

The Soap and Glory Thick and Fast Mascara was made for this blog post haha, the name is very fitting! But I think the actual mascara does live up to the name, it works very fast and is a very volumising mascara. The brush is very thick which allows it to work quicker and leaves my lashes looking full and volumised. I really do like this mascara, it's definitely one of my favourites!

Finally for lips, I think Lip Crayons are great for when you are in a rush. The lip crayons I have included in the picture are the Collection Work the Colour Lip Crayon in Vintage Rose and the Revlon Matte Balm in Elusive. Both are very pretty pink and natural shades and take a few seconds to apply.

So that is all my 1 minute makeup products for when you are in a rush. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and thank you for reading!

Matte Lips

While rummaging through my lipsticks the other day, I noticed I had a little matte lipstick collection going. Normally I'm not actually a fan of matte lips, but I quite like some of these lipsticks. There are a few hit and misses though as you will soon find out.

Sleek Matte Me Lip Cream in 'Petal'

The packaging for this lip cream is really nice, I've always been a fan of sleek packaging as it looks so classy with the matte black. My friend actually bought me this as a present which I really appreciate, and I quite like the lip cream. However I'm not sure if it's the shade or the formula, but it just doesn't suit me. Nonetheless I will still wear it, it applies quite liquidly and creamy but dries to a matte finish. It does tend to dry out my lips a bit and feels really thick on the lips. Like I said, if this was in another shade I might feel different about it, but for me this just doesn't tick all the boxes. 

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 101

At first I used to dislike this lipstick as the colour was more cool-toned than expected. However, after finding ways to work with it, I've grown much more fond of it. It is a blue-toned pink nude lipstick with a slightly watermelon-ish smell. Some people really like the scent but I think it smells quite artificial. I love the formula of these lipsticks and I will definitely be picking up more, I have actually done a full review here. They apply nice and smooth and don't dry your lips out all, even though they have a matte finish. I really recommend these Kate Moss lipsticks, definitely a hit and not a miss.

Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in 205 'Elusive'

As you know I love lip crayons, especially the Revlon Colourburst range. I have actually done a whole post on them which you can view here. I didn't actually realise all my matte lipsticks were really similar in colour until I took the photos for this post. But it is a medium pink colour that is quite natural. The formula is not at all drying and actually quite moisturising. There is also a slight peppermint scent which feels refreshing on the lips. I absolutely love this lip crayon and I really recommend you try them out!

Barry M Lip Paint in 52

I know, wow, that is a bright lipstick. But I did buy it when I was about 11 and had no idea about makeup or anything. I thought I was really cool buying (even though I hardly wore it) a neon pink lipstick. I'm not sure if it was just the lipstick I bought, but not only is the colour very daring, but the formula is really bad if I say so myself. It is very drying and does not apply smoothly, it is quite rough to apply. Barry M might've changed the formula or it might just be this shade, because I have other Barry M lipsticks that I love and they aren't drying. The colour is definitely something for the more braver lipstick wearers, I wouldn't exactly wear a bright blue-toned lipstick on a day to day basis. This lipstick is definitely a miss and I don't recommend it, however definitely check out some other shade by Barry M.

As you can see, there are a mix of hit and misses in my matte lipsticks. I hope you enjoyed this blog post, thank you for reading and have a nice day, bye!

 

Revlon Colourburst Matte and Lacquer Balms

 

 

 I am a fan of lip crayons, I love the whole concept of it. They're super easy to apply because of the shape of the crayon. When I bought one of the Revlon Colourburst Laquer Balms back when they knew, I absolutely fell in love with them. Now that I have some more added to my collection, including the Matte Balms, I thought I would share my thoughts on them.

Revlon Colourburst Lip Laquer in 105 'Demure'

I'd had my eye in this shade ever since I saw people saying it was their favourite. Demure is a lovely warmer toned nude pink, almost a peachy pink. I love this shade as it is very flattering and is my go to nude lip product. It does have specs of shimmer running through it which I think is quite nice. I love this shade and it is definitely my favourite, it is very natural and quite sheer so it doesn't wash you out. I prefer the formula of the lip Laquers to the Matte balm because they are more moisturising and glossy. They are very soft to apply and don't dry out your lips. However the lasting power isn't amazing, I'd say it lasts for about 3-4 hours before the colour begins to fade, maybe even less than that if you are eating/ drinking. But I cannot rave about this shade enough, if you haven't swatched it and looked at it already I really recommend you should. 

Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in 205 'Elusive'

When I planned on picking up one of the matte balms, I actually was going to buy the shade Compoex which is a nude. However in the shop I swatched it and it looked like it would was me out so I went for the shade Elusive instead. Elusive is a medium pink that is quite blue toned. Personally I am not a fan of blue toned pinks as I think they make me look like I am wearing a barbie pink lipstick. But I quite like this one, the colour is very natural and nice and doesn't make me look to weird. The formula is very surprisingly nice, I expected it to dry my lips out after a while which it doesn't. It feels very buttery to apply and makes my lips very soft. I would recommend exfoliating your lips before you apply it as it can stick to dry patches. Overall I am really impressed with this, but I am more of a glossy lip girl and I'm not a fan of mattes. But for a matte lipstick it is very good and I still love it.

Revlon Colourburst Lip Laquer in 120 'Vivacious'

I picked this up back in Februray when they were knew. I love the colour as it's super bright and flattering on my skin tone. It is a bright hot pink which I think would look nice on all skin tones. Although I prefer to apply it lightly so it isn't so bold. Again, the formula is incredible and so moisturising. I really recommend these Revlon Crayons, the formula is amazing and there are so many more beautiful shades to pick from.

For all the Colourburst Crayons, matte and Laquer, there is a slight pepperminty scent which is refreshing and feels quite cool on the lips. Something that attracts me the most to these crayons has got to be the packaging, I am a sucker for bright coloured packaging. The Laquer balms have a shiny packaging which I love the most and the matte balms (obviously) have a matte packaging. I like how the packaging (the amount of times I have said packaging in this paragraph is unreal) is the same as the actual lip product as it means you can easily pick which one you want to use. My favourite is the shade Demure as I think it looks so nice and the colour is gorgeous. I prefer the Laquer balms to the matte balms but that's not because the matte balms are bad. Personally I just don't like matte lips in general. I hope you enjoyed this post. Thanks for reading, bye!
