Juicy lips for spring/summer

Hey my lovely puddings,

I bought a new lipstick. (I know, like I need anymore right?) but it was only £1, so….it’s not that big of a deal. Ok. 😛

Only £1?! I hear you ask. This lipstick is by MUA. They have a large selection of colours and shades, all just for £1. How could I say no?

I picked up “Juicy” (shade 15) which is a lovely soft, matte peachy/coral colour. I thought it would be perfect to wear in spring and summer.

The packaging is simple yet effective. It was very helpful that at the base of the bullet, there is a see through pot, which contains the same lipstick and colour. This made it very easy to see what each colour was like when they were all stacked up on the shelf. 🙂

In the bullet, the lipstick looks very bright, however once applied to my lips it was a very soft colour and could work for many skin tones, as it’s not an unforgiving, bright orangey coral.

I’m usually a strict, reds and pinks lipstick lover, but I have to say when I swatched juicy on my hand, the colour was stunning. there’s a very, spring/summer, beach vibe with it. I also LOVE the name. 😛

I found I had to apply very generously, at least two coats for it to apply evenly and get the best result. Though for £1 what else could I expect. Apart from that, this lipstick has great colour pay off, and wasn’t at all drying on my lips either (which was a fabulous surprise) I seem to always get in my head that cheap = rubbish quality. And while with some makeup products that can be true, with MUA that is definitely not the case.

What do you think of the colour? Do you have any MUA lipsticks, if so what colours? 😀

Pink pouts #1 (lots of photos)

I think definitely am addicted to pink lipsticks. So here are some swatches of a few of my pink lipsticks. Enjoy! (please excuse the state of my lips, i’ve recently got over a really horrible cold)

This is Avon’s pink lipstick called “pink pop” (love the name). It appears very dark in the bullet, however it is actually a sheer, almost transparent nude pink, with flecks of sparkly glitter in it. Perfect for making your lips appear more full. It also smells of aniseed! YUM 😛

Swatching the lipstick on your hand you can see just how pale, and shimmery it really is.

This is very much a day time/natural looking lipstick. I’m not a huge fan of shimmery lips, and much prefer the punch of colour that a solid matte lipstick gives, but I love this one! 🙂

It glides easy on the lips, no drag. Doesn’t dry out the lips, I would say however it does slide/move on the lips, and is very easy to accidentally wipe off, i think this is because it is so sheer.

The next pout…

is another lipstick from avon. “Perfect Rose”.  This is an old lipstick from Avon, I got given this from my mum, who wasn’t keen on the colour. So in the makeup bag it went. 😉 I’ve almost used all of it!

it comes in a sleek gold bullet, I just love gold packaging. hahaha…

“Perfect Rose”.

It’s a subtle pink when on the lips, not overbearing. It has a slight sheerness to it, but not as much as avon’s “pink pop”. Again, not drying and applies lovely. And it doesn’t slide about once on the lips either.

The last pink pout… (and the most “in your face” pink I have)

This is “Stormy pink” by Revlon. It’s from their Super Lustrous range.

This pink is bright, bold, in your face and unforgiving. It’s a very blue based/toned pink, making it a cool tone. I heard others saying it was a close dupe for the Nikki Minaj “pink friday” by MAC.  So thought I’d get this, I do still really want pink friday though. ❤

Stormy pink is a matte lipstick. Making that bold colour even more eye popping. I wouldn’t say it was drying, but it’s not moisturising either. I’d recommend conditioning your lips beforehand.

A few of my pink lipsticks I have, I have swatched on my hand below. Just so you can see the range in tones & shades. 🙂 

Do you have a favourite lipstick colour? What is it and why? Mine has to be, “Stormy Pink” and “Perfect rose”
