My Top 15 Lippies For Spring!

 Hello Lovelies! 
Today I wanted to bring you part 2 of my previous post about my top 15 face & eye products for Spring. You can see that post here. Today's post is about my top 15 lippies (as you can tell from the title). So let's get into it. 

1) Burt's Bee Lip Shimmer in Strawberry

As you can tell from the title of this lip balm it does have shimmer but in this particular shade I honestly don't notice it that much. It has a nice minty scent to it & a slight minty tingle on the lips but nowhere near what regular Burt's Bees is like. It's a really nice light pink shade that I think would look nice on anyone. 

2) Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch

I love this lip balm. It feels light on the lips & gives a good amount of moisture & shine. It is a nice bright pink without being super in your face. Plus, it smells like fruit punch which I love. It reminds me of being & kid & drinking Kool-Aid in the summer time while playing outside with my friends. 

3) Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Pink Cloud

This is lipstick has what Revlon calls a "shine" finish. It is a light pink that can be somewhat sheer on the lips but you can also build it up. I think this would look particularly nice on fair skin. On darker skin it might look a bit ashy. There is no smell to these lipsticks. 

4) Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Stormy Pink

This is a bright blue based pink that is truly matte. So if your lips are the least bit dry this lipstick will show it. My favorite way to wear this is by dabbing this on to give more of a stained look.  This color would flatter any skin tone & like the one above this has no smell. 

5) Maybelline Color Whisper in Pin Up Peach

This is a light somewhat pink peach color. It can be worn sheer or you can build it up a bit more. This is the perfect Spring color to me. I love it. To my nose this doesn't really have much of a smell. There is maybe a VERY slight sweet smell but it isn't really noticeable unless you put it right up to your nose.

6) Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Honeyed

This is a light nude pink shade with maybe just a slight touch of peach to it. It also has a bit of shine. It is a nice nude shade without being so nude that it makes you look like a ghost. I like that this could be flatter on just about every skin tone. 

7) Covergirl Lip Perfection in Delicious

 This is an awesome purple shade without being too in your face. It is one of my favorite lipsticks over all not just for Spring. It does have some pink in it so if you are afraid of wearing purple lipstick this would be a good one to start with. 

8) Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Nude Lust

This is the perfect nude shade to me. It is nude with just the slightest hint of a peach tone to it so it isn't too brown (which I don't like). I love this lipstick. Before this lipstick I wasn't a fan of nudes in general but this really turned me around. 

9) Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Nova

This is a super opaque bright pink color. It is super long lasting. It's kind of like a lip paint similar to the OCC Lip Tars. Even after the shine has gone away this leave behind a stain so they are great for a night out or if you are just someone who doesn't like to touch up their lip color. 

10) Jordana Twist & Shine in Sweet Pink

This is a nice neutral pink shade that would look nice on anyone. It does have a staining effect so it last a long time on the lips. Plus, it has a nice slightly sweet scent to it. 

11) Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Stain in Sweetheart 

This is a somewhat sheer bright pink color. It can be a bit drying on the lips after a while though. It lasts forever & can wear off in patches when it does begin to wear off so just beware. 

12) Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Darling

This is my favorite shade from this line. It is a true lilac. This isn't as staining as the shade above but it does last a long time on the lips. 

13) NYX Butter Lipgloss in Eclair

This is a light milky pink shade that look great with any look. It feels really nice on the lips, has good pigmentation, & nice staying time for a gloss. Plus, these things smell HEAVENLY. I want to eat it. 

14) Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Super Natural

 The shade name for this is spot on. It is a super natural looking shade that would be great for any skin tone. These glosses feel really nice on the lips but I wouldn't say that they are moisturizing. 

15) Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Pop

This shade isn't as pigmented as the one above. This one more so gives a nice wash of color to the lips so it is good if you want to try out a bright pink lip but don't want to have it be too in your face. 


Well, that's all for now. I hope that this was helpful. 
What are some of your favorite lip products for Spring?

Until next time...

February Besties.

Hello lovelies. 
Today I have my February Besties to share with you. 

-L'OREAL Revitalift Miracle Blur-
I have been loving this as my primer. It really does "blur" some pores & fine lines. Plus, it has 30 SPF. It also makes my skin super soft. 

 -Maybelline The Rocket Volum' Express Waterproof-
This stuff makes my lashes look like BAM. It has a rubber bristle wand which I'm usually not a fan of but I just love this mascara. It might even be my new holy grail but it's too soon to start that type of talk. 

-Revlon ColorStay Under Eye Concealer in Fair-
This is actually my 3rd tube of this stuff. Now, if you have some serious dark circles then this won't help much but if they aren't too intense then this stuff with do the job. It blends like a dream & has SPF 15. 

 -LypSyl Lipbalm-
This stuff is AMAZING. This makes my lips so soft & smooth. It has a nice minty scent but it doesn't tingle on the lips like most other lip balms that have a minty scent, in my experience at least. The best part is I feel like it actual moisturizes my lips & doesn't just sit on top of my lips like a lot of other balms. Bottom line, do yourself a favor & buy this. You can thank me later. 

-Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Nude Lust-
I'm normally not into nude lipsticks because I just feel like none of them have ever looked right on me until now. I can't remember the last time that I fell in love with a lipstick so quickly. This has been pretty much the only one that I have been wearing since I bought it. You can check out when I hauled it here.

 -Wet N Wild Beauty Benefits Ultimate Expressions Eyeshadow Palette in Sand Castle-
You can check out my original review of this palette here. I really liked this when I first got this but I wouldn't have called it a favorite but that changed. I really love it now. The shadows are smooth & pigmented. It's a perfect everyday quad. My favorite shade from this is probably the highlight shade. It just looks so pretty in the inner corners of the eye. You can see where I used this in a FOTD here.

-Sally Girl Eyeshadow in Cupid (limited edition)-
When I have been wanting a pop of color on my lids this is the shadow that I have been reaching for & I really like. It was limited edition unfortunately. It was part of the four that they put out for Valentine's Day. I did a review of them here. Once you get through the over spray this is basically matte. It is a bit powdery but I like the color itself enough that I'm willing to work through that.

-Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal liner in Nude-
I love a nude liner on my lower waterline & this has been the one that I have been using lately. I also really love to use this on my upper lash line & then top it off with a colorful eyeshadow. This isn't waterproof like it claims but it does last a good little while on my somewhat watery waterline.

-ELF Kabuki Face Brush-
I usually use a traditional powder brush but lately I've been using this kabuki brush & I really like. It's super soft, well made, & it was inexpensive. You can buy it at Target or on the ELF website here

-Bath & Body Works Moonlight Path Body Lotion-
This scent has a cult following along with Bath & Body Works fans. This is the first time I have ever tried it though. I have to say, I see why so many people like it. It has a nice, soft, relaxing scent. I like to put it on before bed. Once I finish this little bottle I plan on buying one of the big ones.

Well guys, that's all my besties for this month. What were some of yours this month?

Until next time...
Stay True & Stay You
