Favourite Daytime Spring Lip Colours

I have so many lipsticks yet tend to stick to a select few, I am not the only one right? With Spring arriving, I've decided that its time to drop the dark berry lips and opt for lovely pinks and nudes. Here are my favourite daytime picks, with most being ones that I reach for year after year which shows that I truly love them!

1. MAC's Pink Plaid has to be one of my all time favourites from the brand. This could be down to the matte formula which I absolutely love as it lasts for so long. The shade is a gorgeous cool toned pink which in itself screams spring/summer. In one swipe it is such an opaque colour which I just think is amazing in a lipstick. However I wore this heaps through out the winter too, its just a great all round colour! The only down side is that it is a little bit drying but that is what I expect from a matte formula now... nothing a bit of exfoliating and applying lip balm cannot fix!

2. Next is a lipstick that I have purchased time and time again, this being MAC's Snob. This is the perfect 'barbie pink' in my opinion and has a slight lilac undertone although this is not coming off in the photos. The shade has a satin finish which dries quite matte but is not drying. Again this one goes perfect with so many makeup looks, I also think it compliments my pale skin rather well. I am talking really really pale...

3. This shade is slightly brighter for the daytime but still it can definitely be worn. MAC's Up the Amp is a stunning lavender pink which is an amplified creme and applies so smoothly. During the day I tend to apply this with a light hand and dab it with my finger to lighten it up a bit and for nights out just apply it as usual. I have never actually owned a lipstick similar to this shade before but I am so glad I bought this on a whim!

4.  Now I only bought my Maybelline Colour Drama in Nude Perfection a few months a go and I am in love! It really has not been off my lips recently, the product is so pigmented and lasts for hours. I actually bought it in my desperate attempt to get the Kylie Jenner lip colour and it definitely works for that, especially paired with NYX's liner in Nude Beige. I honestly recommend this combination so much if you are looking for the perfect nude combination!





What are your go to lipsticks in spring?

My MAC Lipstick Collection

I really need to invest in a good camera. I tried my best to take photos but shiny objects and iPhone cameras just do not mix, sorry! However I do think that the true colour of the lipsticks can still be seen so I thought this post was still worth while, here is my MAC lipstick collection!

L-R: Up The Amp, Please Me, Pink Plaid, Lovelorn, Cremecup, Saint Germain, Snob, Viva Glam Gaga

I bought my first MAC lipstick around 3 years ago and instantly fell in love, mainly with the smell! However I was a bit disappointed in my colour choice as I had ordered Saint Germain not realising how neon it is. Being 18 and more daring with my lipstick I have grown to love it, especially for the summer time. I specifically love the 'Amplified' finish as I feel like it is not too glossy (I hate glossy) and stays in place. I also love Up The Amp for this reason too, I picked it out on a whim as I wanted to branch out of my usual pink (as you can see many of my collection are similar shades). I am so glad my boyfriend got me it for Christmas because its my favourite right now!

The other two finishes that I love are 'Matte' and 'Satin' as I feel both also aren't too glossy and wont budge from my lips. The 3 colours that I have in these finishes are definitely my go to shades, especially snob. I just think its the perfect cool toned pink and looks great all year round, this is actually the only lipstick I have ever repurchased!

However I really don't like the 'Cremesheen' or 'Lustre' finish. Its a shame because the three shades that I have in these finishes are so pretty but I just cant bring myself to wear them as I know they are so glossy that they will just slide off my lips within 15 minutes. If you like the glossy finish then you will probably love these! I must have liked it at one point because my Viva Glam Gaga has certainly been used a lot ha ha!
