Top Picks for Summer Lips

Hello there lovely readers, today's post as i'm sure you can tell from the title are my top lip products for summer (using that S word seems a little optimistic)

The majority of the products i've chosen are relatively cheap, coming in under the drugstore price range excluding the one MAC lipstick of course. There is a little bit of a pattern going on as they are all fairly neutral peaches and pinks which I think you can't go wrong with during the warmer months. Here is a rundown of the names and shades in case they aren't easy to read on the swatches image.

• Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner in Eastend Snob. (Don't forget a lipbalm underneath this one!) £3.99
• Topshop Lips in Desert, £8
• MAC Angel, a frost finish, £14
• Rimmel Apocalips in Luna, £5.99
• L'Oreal Rouge Caresse in Aphrodite Scarlet, £8.19
• Topshop Lips in Pillow Talk, £8
  
  What are your go-to summer lip products? :)

L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick | Aphrodite Scarlet

Long time no speak! (This is becoming quite a frequent statement from me on the blogging front, apologies!)

Today I wanted to share with you a product that I've had for quite some time, probably around 6 months? It's the L'Oreal Rouge Caresse Lipstick in the shade Aphrodite Scarlet. When these lipsticks first hit the shelves I had heard a lot of people saying they were L'Oreal's answer to Revlon Lip Butters, however after using this I can say they are totally different in terms of texture.

The Caresse lipsticks feel very lightweight when applied, quite unlike the Lip Butters which are a lot more creamy when applied. I absolutely love the L'Oreal offering as it's a perfect day time substitute to a full opacity lipstick, it provides a lovely wash of colour without being too over the top.

I think a true testament to how much I like this product is that I bought it in a reddish-pink shade which I would usually steer clear of for every day wear, however it is perfect for a fun pop of colour and the intensity can be built up if you feel like it! 

Have you tried any of the Caresse Lipsticks?
