Hello Spring, is that really you?!
With blue skies and the all important clock change I think it might just be! So in celebration of Spring I thought I'd share with you 5 lip colours I'm excited to wear in the upcoming months.
Come Spring I feel I wear colour on my lips more often. Nudes are a staple as always but I always get into loving anything pink toned - from a light wash of colour to a full on lip. Below are 5 fairly new lip products I'm hoping to sport this month!

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick - Don't pink of it!
£8.99 - Feel Unique here or Boots
Bourjois have recently launched 3 new shades in the Rouge Edition collection, and this is one of them. The shade is almost a nude pink and quite an English rose type shade - demure and very wearable. For me this is a throw on any day of the week shade as it goes with all makeup and looks pretty. I also love the finish of the Bourjois Velvet lip colours as they apply as a cream and then almost soak into the lips to give that velvet/matte finish that is soft and diffused. Also you really can't feel the product on your lips at all! Zoe London has a great post here on the 3 new shades, plus lip swatches, if you like the look of this one.
Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter - Strawberry Shortcake
£7.99 - Boots here
So this is the total opposite of the one above! It's bright, it's glossy and certainly pink. This is my 'it's nearly summer and I'm excited' lip colour basically! The shade as you can see from the swatch is a light baby doll pink and I love it. I don't however love it with a full face of makeup, it just seems too much and too Barbie like. So this is strictly paired with a fresh face makeup look with naked lids and fluttery lashes. A lovely pop of colour that's comfortable to wear.
Clarins Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector - 03 My Pink
£15.80 - Escentual here
When I'm out and a lipstick wears off 9 times out of 10 I don't re-apply and just pop on a lip balm. This is that lip balm.... but for Spring! After lip colour has faded I smother this on and it adds the glossiest and freshest tint of colour I could want. I'd actually say the pink tint is so light it just enhances your own natural lip colour, making your lips look full and soft! I also can't get enough of the wonderful caramel flavour - so nice! Also the packaging is pretty dreamy, isn't it?
Gosh Forever Lip Shine - Flirty Dreams
£6.99 - Superdrug here
In the past few months Gosh have come out with some amazing new products and this is amongst them. The Forever Lip Shine range really does have my heart at the moment and I'm already planning on getting more. The reason for all the love, is the wonderful creamy texture that is a joy to wear on the lips with it's yummy caramel flavour/scent (some my hate this I feel though). Also this particular shade is pretty damn lovely, especially for spring. A lipstick crayon must!
Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm - 105 Demure
£7.99 - Boots here
Lastly, back to Revlon with quite a unique lip colour for the brand. I say unique as I have nothing similar in my collection and Revlon seem to be more about their vivid shades. But sadly the swatch above just doesn't do it justice... so please imagine something more glossy and peachy toned. The balm itself is a lovely wash off colour that adds almost a pearly look to the lips but not in an awful 90s kind of way thankfully! I already love this on days that I haven't a clue what to wear on my lips as it just looks right and suits all makeup. It also comes with the signature minty flavour that I love. The only slight downside is that is does have small glitter particles to it which do feel gritty on the lips when you rub them together. I can totally ignore that but I know it would put some of this specific shade!
I'd love to know what lip products you reach for in Spring!
Fee xo.
