After seeing this picture in a magazine it really inspired me to
try some orange lip colours, I thought it looked really summery even
if you haven't got a tan which is great.
So after trawling through Boots, Superdrug, Debenhams and many other stores
aisles I have chosen my favourite lip products for a great summer
orange lip! The first of which is lush's lip scrubs. I always think
if the base is good then whatever s on top looks far better, so if
you are going for a bright lip or even a more subtle version smooth
lips is a must. I have the bubblegum flavour and its delicious!
(Although I’m not sure if you are suppose to eat it I have
accidentally tasted it when using it! Hehe). But it is great for
giving really smooth lips and getting rid of any dry skin. (After
using though I would say finish with a SPF lip balm of your choice).
The second is this lovely lipstick from Estee Lauder, so a more
luxury product. Its in the colour blazing sun 35. And it has such a
lovely coral shimmer that’s really great for an everyday version of
the look as its much more subtle than some colours. It also has a
lovely moisturising feel which is great in summer if your lips dry
out easily (as mine do).
As for glosses my favourite is by gosh and is called light'n shine
lip glaze in shade 60. Its a really high gloss finish to any lip and
is a step more orange than the lauder lip stick. It also has this
little mirror on the side and when you open it has a light. Its
really great for applying on the go or reapplying in a club/bar when
lighting isn’t always at its best. Looks great on top of either
lipstick in this post too for a more glossy finish.
Another lipstick now and this one is great if you want a full on
orange lip. Its by mac in shade morange.
Its
not as moisturising as the estee lauder but the colour is so intense
it makes up for it. Its quite a matt finish which is great when
recreating the look at the top of the page but if you want a glossy
finish the gosh lip glaze works really well on top. Also not too
expensive for such a great lipstick, I think it was thirteen pounds
which for such a famous brand of lipsticks I don't think is too
bad.
Finally another gloss, this
is a Bobbi Brown high shimmer lip gloss in shade canary 5. Its a very
glittery gold gloss, and I think works really well dotted in the
centre of lips with morange on to give a 3d/two tone look that has
been about recently with Max Factors double ended lip duos. It isn't
cheap for a gloss but it is a brilliant gloss so if you can afford it
I definitely recommend.
