Summer Orange Lips ~ Summer in the Sun

 

 

 

Summer is the time to bring out the bold and bright colours on to the lips. I love wearing pinks, but this year its all about bold orange lips. I have a range of different shades of orange, from peachy more muted oranges to bold almost red oranges.

 

The first orange lipstick I have is by Revlon. It is the Revlon Colourburst Lipstick in 'Coral'. This is a very bold fiery orange. It is almost red but still classes as an orange. If you want to wear a daring colour this summer, this would be a good lipstick to go for. But I'm not to keen on the smell as it is quite chemically. Apart from the smell, this lipstick is really pigmented and lasts very long.

 

 

If you are looking for a more subtle and wearable orange, I recommend the MUA lipstick in shade 16 'Nectar'. For £1 you cant really go wrong with this. The formula is amazing as the lipstick is smooth and creamy and highly pigmented. I love the colour as it is a peachy colour and not so bold. The only bad thing about the MUA lipsticks is the packaging, but I guess you get what you pay for. However the actual lipstick is great.

 

The next orange lipstick I have is a bit of a weird one, as you can see the lipstick in the bullet looks red but when swatched comes out orange. But trust me when I say it looks better on the lips than in the swatches, for some reason it looks almost yellow :/ Anyway, this lipstick is the Maybelline Coloursensational Popstick in Cherry Pop. I have done a full review on this here. I am slightly disappointed in this lipstick as the colour was not what I expected. It is quite sheer which is good because that means it won't be too strong, especially as the colour is a bit odd. But the smell and the packaging is definitely pleasing! It smells like cherries and the packaging is very lovely. Overall, I wouldn't recommend it though, but I put it in this post anyway,

 

The last orange lip product is the Too Faced Sweet Sun Shines Lip Gloss in 'Papaya Slushie'. I love this lip gloss, its such a lovely colour and feels very creamy and glossy on the lips. There are tiny little specs of gold shimmer which adds a bit more to the lips. If you can get your hands on this I really recommend it. I cant even think of anything bad to say about it!

 

I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Do you like wearing orange in summer? What's your go to orange lip product? Thanks for reading and have a nice day, bye!

 

Lip Product Addict Tag

 

Hey beauties! Today I am going to do the Lip Product Addict Tag which you have probably seen floating around in YouTube and blogs. There are 8 questions all about lip products, so let's begin!

1. Favourite balm/treatment

I'm going to have to say my trusty aloe Vera vaseline. Whenever my lips are becoming chapped and need some treatment, I always return to this as it really helps my lips.

2. Best eye-catching red

I don't actually own any red lipsticks but I have something close to it. It is the Revlon Colourburst Lipstick in Coral. This lipstick is a orangey red that is very close to a red and is very bold and flattering.

3. Best luxury & best drugstore

I only own 2 luxury products which is two MAC lipsticks. So my best luxury lipstick would be my MAC lipstick in Speak Louder. My best drugstore... This is more difficult than I thought but I'm going to have to say the Revlon Lacquer Balms, I just love the formula and the shade range so much!

4. Best MAC lipstick

Well this is pretty much the same answer as above, my best MAC lipstick is Speak Louder. It's like a medium pinky red and I love it so much!

5. The most disappointing

My most disappointing is probably the Sleek Matte me lip creams. I don't know if this is just my shade though, I have the shade petal and I just find it to be so drying and patchy. Not nice, but at first they look alright but after a few minutes they begin going flaky.

6. Liner - yes or no?

Personally, I have to say no as I don't actually wear lip liners and I don't own any.

7. Best Gloss 

I really like the Barry M lip glosses as they are not sticky at all and they smell amazing. Also the colour range is really good, there are some nudes and some bolds.

8. Something Extra

I would like to mention the Kate Moss Lip Stick in 08 as it is my perfect lip colour. My lips are naturally quite dark and mauvey toned so this lipstick is like a my lips but better colour. I have a review on this here so you can check that out! 

So that was the Lip Product Addict Tag, if you have read this then I tag you to do it! Thanks for reading and hope you have a nice day, bye!

May Favourites

 

 

 

Hello beauties! Another month has flown past and that means it is time for a monthly favourite! I cannot believe it is June already, I am quite excited for this month as it is my birthday on the 19th eeek! Anyway, let's get on with my favourites.

The first thing is a mascara. It is the One by One Mascara by Maybelline. I guess you could say I have a love hate relationship with this mascara as sometimes it doesn't quite work but sometimes I absolutely love it! When I say it doesn't work I mean it comes out clumpy and over the top. But throughout this month i have been loving it because it is very lengthening and makes my lashes look super long.

The next product in my list of favourites is the Real Techniques Detailer Brush. This is usually quite an unpopular brush as it doesn't really do much. However I like to use this as a lip brush to make my lipstick more precise. If I am wearing a bold lip and I need it to look accurate and not messy, I will use this to line my lips precisely. I think it fits really nicely in the corner of my lips.

Skincare-wise, I have began using this Boots a Cucumber Facial Toner to cleanse my face. Firstly I just want to say it smells so refreshing and healthy which is always a bonus. But its also really nice and cool on my skin and has helped to prevent break out.

So that is everything I have loved last month! I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Have a nice day, bye!

Tanya Burr Aurora Lipgloss Review

Hey beauties! Today I have a review on the lipglosses by Tanya Burr. If you don't already know who she is, she is a YouTuber who makes beauty videos. I am going to be reviewing one of her lipglosses from her Lips and Nails makeup range. The shade I have is called Aurora which is a really nice name because it is like the Disney Princess (Sleeping Beauty.)

The packaging of the product is really nice as you can see the colour of the lipgloss. It is rectangula and the lid has a really satisfying click when you open and close it haha. I picked up Aurora because it looked like a natural, rosy pink colour. There is a slight shimmer in this shade which I also like about it. But one of my favourite things about the lipglosses is that it smells amazing! It smells really yummy like raspberry sweets. 

The actual formula of the lipgloss is really good. It is not sticky and applies really evenly and smoothly. It is also very nicely pigmented and isn't too glossy but still has a nice shine to it. I really like this shade because it isn't too in your face but it isn't a nude colour either. I think it is a perfect, rosy pink.

Overall I a really impressed with this product and congratulations Tanya Burr for creating such an amazing makeup range. This lipgloss is priced at £6.99 which is a decent price and I definitely recommend them. There is a wide range of gorgeous colours and I would really like to pic up some more! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post! Have a nice day, bye!

Brand Focus - Barry M

 

Hey beauties! Today I have decided to do a blog post all about the brand Barry M. I think Barry M was one of the first makeup brands I really liked, I can remember picking up one of the lipsticks when I was 11/12 (you'll see which one.) The price is really affordable and I really want to try out some new products from there. I have not included nail varnishes but I really recommend Barry M's Gelly Nail varnishes! I am basically just going to talk about the products that I own from Barry M if you didn't know what I mean by Brand Focus.

Lip Paint - £4.49

I own 4 of their lipsticks, two of which are really similar and very bright (these are the ones I bought when I was younger.) The first colour is 146 Dolly Pink and it is a bright barbie pink. This did look very different in the tester at the shop. It is really bright and I don't wear this too often but it is nice for parties etc. I feel like all the lipsticks have a different finish depending on the shade? I think it's just me but some are moisturising and some are matte. But Dolly pink is nice and moisturising and lasts forever. It took me ages to get it off my hand from the swatches!

The next colour is 153 Pink Ribbon, this is my favourite out of the 4 and my friend actually bought me this. It's probably the most wearable compared to the rest. It is a slightly reddish pink but can look quite natural. This is quite moisturising and again, lasts a very long time! I really like this shade and I have nothing like it in my makeup collection.

For the next colour you may be thinking why I have a green lipstick. But don't worry! It doesn't come out green haha, it is the TMLP lipstick which stands for Touch of Magic Lip Paint but I just think it stands for Turn My Lips Pink. It comes out pink as you can see in the swatches. It's quite pigmented but this lipstick is a bit different. When you apply it it's sort of sheer but then it turns into a dark berry pink. This lipstick can be different though depending on the pH of your lips so don't apply loads all at once or it will turn out very vibrant after a few seconds! I really like this lipstick and the only problem I've had is that it tends to leave a very vibrant stain around the inner area of my lip where your lips meet. Also it does stain your lips and doesn't come off particularly easily.

The last shade is the lipstick I bought when I was about 11. It is called 52 Shocking Pink. Basically, it is a neon pink. It is very matte and very drying which means it clings to the dry skin. This lipstick is very blue toned and I have no idea why I bought this. I never wear it buy maybe I could wear it for Halloween haha. No but seriously though I only recommend this if you are a very bold lip type of person but in all honesty I don't recommend this.

Lip Gloss Wands - £4.49

The red shade is actually a limited edition, it is shade 201. It is very pigmented and glossy and smells so nice! These lip glosses all have smells which match the name but unfortunately I do not know the name of this one. But it sort of smells like cherries but I don't know if I'm right haha.

The pink shade is shade 5 and its called Bubblegum. The name basically describes it! It's a bubblegum pink and smells just like bubblegum hence the name haha. These lipglosses are really nice because they aren't sticky but they are nice and glossy.

The last shade is called Toffee and is shade 2. This is a gorgeous nude brown shade and looks so nice. I really recommend these lip glosses and I think they are really under-rated.

Palettes - £6.49

The first one is the Natural Glow palette. The packaging for this is really nice and it looks quite similar to the Naked Basics palette. The pigmentation of these palettes aren't amazing but they are really nice for a light, natural eye look.

The purple palette is the Glamour Puss palette and I think this was limited edition (well it says it on the front so it must be!) This is a lot more daring and colourful than the other palette but it is still quite wearable. All the shades are shimmery so they are suitable for a party or night out. The blush colour is a bright pink but I don't really wear them that much.

So that is my Barry M collection! I hope you enjoyed and sorry it was quite long. If you would like to see more posts from me then follow me on bloglovin! Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
