KYLIE JENNER ESQUE LIPS

In the past months, there is one particular celebrity makeup-wise that everyone is going cray about. Kylie Jenner and her widely discussed full lips, along with the dramatic winged liner and her fresh chop have sparked many inspired looks to be plastered all over Youtube and blogs and obviously I was going to get my turn. 

I was simply focusing on the 'overdrawn' almost nude lip, as winged liner has been a part of my routine for a while now and is nothing new to me, and I think I have found the 2 products to get me the perfect look. Now, they are both high end, but I honestly think both a worth the money although I am hunting for drugstore dupes along the way. 

To create the base I go in with the Too Faced Perfect Nude Perfect Lip Liner all over the lips and slightly over the edges on the cupids bow and lower lip. This is totally matte, so a lip balm is a wise option beforehand. Then, patted over the top is MAC Faux, which is slightly more plum toned and ties the whole look together and almost nails Kylie's colour on the head. 

Whether she has had the surgery that she has denied for months or simply goes on heavily with the lip liner, it's safe to say that Kylie Jenner is looking on point makeup-wise as per usual and I can't wait to see what looks she'll be going for in the future.

LIP COLOURS FOR SPRING

When Spring comes around, I gain a little more confidence in the lip product department, and go for things that aren't nudes and neutrals. I don't go full out with the bold brights by any means (they are saved for summer), but the more balmy, hint-of-tint offerings are well used in my stash at this time of year.

The Revlon Lip Butter in Sweet Tart is one of my favourites of the bunch, as not only do I love the stunning medium pink colour, but the texture of this is amazing, its a thick, balmy, nourishing consistency which makes application a dream, and so a purchase of a few more in the range is on the cards.
One that is more of a lipstick than a balmy product is the Rimmel Kate Lipstick in 16 which is a peachy coral colour, with a finish that is nor glossy or matte, which makes it a little more suitable for the season.

The L'Oréal Rouge Caresse Lipstick in Aphrodite Scarlet is another favourite, which is a no-frills pink that finishes off a look in a swipe. Think, the Revlon Lip Butter, but with a slightly less pigmented look on the lips.
Another balm is the NYC Apple-licious Lip Balm in Apple Blueberry Pie, which is slightly more purple than the other bright pinks I go for but I have really been enjoying it recently - and I must add the apple taste and scent makes it even better.

Finally, one that I hated for such a long time but recently got into using is the GOSH Soft n' Shine Lip Balm in Irony, which is a slightly peachy orange. I normally have issues with oranges suiting me, but if I apply this one by tapping it on with fingers (the actual product is rather smooshed anyway), it doesn't look all that bad.

Writing this is making me want to scour the aisles of Boots to find some more brights in preparation for the warmer weather that everyone is hoping we'll be getting this year...

My Favourite Top 3 Spring Lip Products!

Hi everyone! Another spring post again, and this one is about lip products so I will just jump straight into it?



Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in £7.99



This was purchased when Revlon were selling all of their lip products for £5 each, and I will tell you now I most certainly do not regret buying this. Similar to the Clinique Chubby Sticks, this is a product which I think is worth the place in your makeup bag. This can be used all over the lip, or blended from the center outwards to give a natural 'plump' look. I like both.

GOSH Soft and Shine Lip Balm in Barbie £0.99 in a clearance!?

 This is a really great product for spring. It is a very very pigmented tinted balm, which is super moisturising and not too brightly coloured, but it definitely does have a 'pop' to it when it is on the lips. The only downside I have of these are that they melt and break easily, so try not to keep them in a pocket or in sunlight, and if it does happen, leave it in the fridge or freezer for a few hours.

ELF Conditioning Lip Balm in Mellow Melon £3.75

It's always great to have a conditioning product in summer and spring, and even more importantly, one with SPF in it, SPF 15 in this case. The thought of sunburn lips makes me shudder, and a chapped lip makes me cringe. This little gem takes control of those two things whilst portraying a stunning sheer wash of colour on the lips. Such a good buy!

 

So, those are my top 3 spring lip products, let me know what yours are in the comments, I am going to Boots tomorrow, and a couple of other shops so if I think I should get something you recommended, I will! :)
