Can we say that spring is here yet? If the lighter evenings and warmer days are anything to go by, I think we can happily say that it is. To celebrate the change in season, I thought I’d round up my favourite flirty lip colours for spring time sunshine. They’re all lightweight lip products that are perfect for applying on-the-go for an easy pop of colour. Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm…

Inspired by the multi-coloured tones and satin feel of the beautiful Iris flower, the Clarins Spring Makeup Collection features a quartet of shimmering mineral eye shades, a signature gold face compact, the new Rouge Eclat lipsticks and a few limited edition shades….
Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Colour Balm – Oversized Orange
Fans of Clinique Chubby Stick Lip Balms will be pleased to know eight new shades have been added to the range, including this gorgeous coral shade – Oversized Orange. The ever popular Clinique Chubby Sticks are renowned for keeping lips soft and hydrated whilst delivering a sheer tint, so I think these Chubby Sticks are perfect for taking on holiday. Sun and sea can leave lips parched so the mango and…
Clarins Joli Rouge Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick – Pink Coral
Clarins Joli Rouge Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick in Pink Coral is the perfect colour for spring. The Sheer Shine formula combines the gentle colour and shine of a lip gloss with the creamy texture of a lipstick to create a highly moisturising yet long wearing lip product. Pink Coral is such a lovely delicate colour – peachy coral with subtle gold reflects which adds to the lustrous finish. The mango butter…
L’Occitane Pivoine Delicate Lipstick
When this lipstick from the new L’Occitane Pivoine Limited Edition Collection dropped through my letterbox, it was love at first sight. I absolutely adore everything about this lipstick. The pastel pink textured cardboard packaging (which has been imprinted with the peony flower which the collection is based upon) is divine – and it’s home to the most beautiful soft pink lipstick I have ever come across. The shade is 02 –…
Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick – Poppy Red
I’m a newfound fan of red lipstick since trying Revlon Cherries In The Snow and Sleek True Colour Lipstick in Cranberry. I’ve discovered I love a bit of bright colour on my lips and Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick has now topped my list of red lippies in terms of colour, formulation and staying power. One of the four new shades in Clarins Colour Breeze Spring Makeup Collection, Poppy Red has everything I was looking for in…
Clarins Joli Rouge Lipstick – Baby Pink
Is this not the most beautiful baby pink lipstick you’ve ever seen? The appropriately named Baby Pink is one of four new shades to grace the Clarins signature lipstick collection. Part of the new Colour Breeze Spring Makeup Collection, this pale pink delivers a perfect posy pout. I adore how luxurious the packaging looks and feels – everything from the weighty, silver tube to the Clarins logo embossed on the…
Barry M Peachy Pink Lip Paint
Continuing on with my reviews of previously unloved Barry M Lip Paints, here’s Peachy Pink (no. 147), a beautiful peachy coral shade which is perfect for spring to pair with the pastel trend! Barry M can be a bit hit and miss with their Lip Paint formulas, and unlike Dolly Pink and Cerise Pink, Peachy Pink is quite drying and less creamy which is a slight letdown as it’s such…
Barry M Cerise Pink Lip Paint
Another lipstick treasure found in the depths of my makeup collection. Barry M Cerise Pink Lip Paint (no.144) appears as a deep burgundy shade in the tube but translates to a beautiful pink berry shade once on the lips. The formula is just as lovely as Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint – highly pigmented, easy to apply and leaving a satin sheen. It also lasts an impressive of amount…
Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint
Whilst rooting around in mymakeup collection the other day I came across Barry M Dolly Pink Lip Paint (no.146), a long forgotten unloved lippie from a few years ago. I’m guilty of being a stuck in a rut when it comes to lipstick, I favour nudes and pinks over bright colours but since daring to wear red lipstick I’ve been more adventurous when it comes colour. Rediscovering the aptly named…
17 Mirror Shine On Lipstick – Nudist Peach
My favourite lip product of 2011 has to be the 17 Mirror Shine On lipsticks. These creamy tubes of loveliness blur the line between lipstick and lipbalm so they’e easy to wear and they’re the kind of product you can apply without using a mirror. They’re highly glossy (without being sticky) and moisturising but give a good amount of sheer colour to the lips. The 17 Mirror Shine On lippies aren’t particularly long lasting…
Revlon Cherries in the Snow Lipstick
I’ve always been very safe when it comes to lipsticks, so if you were to delve into my lipstick drawer, you would find a large range of lippies which are essentially varieties of the same shades of nude and pink. When I was sent the popular Revlon Cherries in the Snow to use with Lipcote, it seemed the perfect time to make a departure from my comfort zone and tread into…
