My Top Five Drugstore Lip Products for Spring 2015

Hey guys! Spring has sprung and the pink, lilac, nude lipsticks and lip glosses are dominating the makeup aisles in your local drugstores. If you are a makeup enthusiast like me you probably already have some of these products or products with similar colors. If not I highly recommend these lip products. I have been using these lippies even in the winter and thought these colors would be perfect to wear during the spring. Hope you enjoy this blog post! :)

Starting from the left :

Revlon Color Burst Matte Balm in Elusive

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Berry Haute

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Orchid Ecstasy

Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Naturally Chic

Maybelline Color Elixer in Rose Redefined

These colors scream spring. My fave out of the bunch lately is the second one from the left by Revlon called Berry Haute. It is the perfect soft purple shade.

If you are looking for a pink lipstick that is not too light then this one is perfect. If you do not like the matte finish then you can always apply a lighter pink lipgloss on top.

This color is my favorite lately. It is a beautiful soft purple. If you are afraid to wear purple or do not want to wear a purple shade that it too bright, this is a much toned down purple that is nice to wear everyday. 

The Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick is a nice orchid pink . This is a nice pink shade to wear that is not too bright. 

Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Naturally Chic. Can't forget the nude lipsticks for spring. This particular nude is a pinky nude that doesn't wash out your lips and gives it a nice subtle color. Love it.

Maybelline Color Elixer in Rose Defined is a nice lipgloss that you can wear alone or over your lipstick in similar shades. 

Hope you liked my top five drugstore lip products. I realize I need more coral lip products. If you have any recommendations as to which coral drugstore lip products I should check out leave a comment below. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog and see you in my next blog post. :)

LOTD:Maybelline's Color Sensational Vivids in Shocking Coral

 One of my favorite summer colors that I like to wear on my lips is Coral. I have been wearing this color a lot lately.The color that I am wearing is bright yet soft if that makes sense lol. When I wear bold lip colors, I like to keep the makeup on my eyes simple. The bold color alone brightens up your face. The color that I am using is Maybelline's Color Sensational Vivids in Shocking Coral.

Here is a quick swatch

Coral with a slight pinky undertone. Love it.

Have a wonderful day my lovelies :) ox
