Summer Lip Lovin'

 

Superdrug 3 for 2's don't tend to drag me in as much as Boots' do, I don't really know why. But today I headed in, armed with fifteen pounds to spend on some holiday lip picks, with a few certain expectations.

My lipstick wardrobe is pretty expansive, but I'm majorly lacking in the lipgloss/tint/lacquer/sheer department. I wanted to find some summery colours for my holiday, that would survive in the heat (I've been down the melted MAC lippie route and I'm not going back). I've wanted to try the L'Oreal Glamshine Stain Splash, since they've been pegged as a pretty much perfect dupe for the YSL Glossy Stains (YSL is owned by L'Oreal so it would make sense), and who doesn't love a lipstick with a staying power? I went for shade 102 Romy, a pretty pink nude. The gloss fades after about an hour, but it does create a very pretty stain on your lips! Perfect for relaxing by the pool.

Whilst I'm not a massive fan of the Rimmel Apocalips, I have found a way to make them stay put and not stain my entire face, plus they have a pretty good lasting power, so I picked up Apocalyptic, a bright red pink that is a liiiiiittle bit scary. The jury's still out on this one for now!

Lastly, I decided to bite the bullet and pick up a Revlon Lip Butter. I know this will probably melt in the heat, but it's just for a sheer wash of bold colour for the evening, I won't be taking it out by the pool! I've ummed and ahhed over these for a while, the colour range has always put me off though, I've never found one I really like. However, I absolutely love this one, Wild Watermelon. It's bright red in the bullet but wears as a sheer pink red. Super pretty!

What are your holiday lip picks?
