Spring Lippies For Pale Skin

Even though it's only just starting to feel like spring with the weather we're having, I've been really into some new brighter shades. So I thought I'd share some of my fave spring lippies! I have quite pale skin and I find these shades to be particularly complimentary for me, however I'm sure they suit other skin tones too.

First up is Soap and Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Fuscia.

As you probably know from the last post I'm going a bit crazy for Soap and Glory at the moment. I've already tried the Sexy Mother Pucker Lipgloss and found it to be brilliant so I wondered if this would live up to my expectations, but I think I actually prefer the Gloss Stick! It's not as sticky as the lipgloss, but still gives a hint of that tingly sensation. The color comes out really strong and lasts quite well.

I love this color and find it really wearable, it's lovely and bright and is perfect for day wear or evening wear!

I picked up mine in boots for around €8.99 but you can also get them direct from the Soap and Glory website.

Next up is Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake. This is a great, girly colour. A nice shiny pink. I found the lipstick really felt as though it were moisturising my lips. This is a great daytime lippie and really brings out blue eyes.

I got mine in Boots for around €10.

My nest spring shade is another Revlon Lip Butter, this time in Pink Truffle.

this is a darker more grown up pink. Lovely for evening or day wear. I actually can't take this off at the moment, it's my favorite lipstick for miles. It's got a sophisticated feel to it and it works well with a pale skin tone.

The same as the last Lip Butter I got it in Boots too for around €10.

Another Revlon product! This is Revlon Baby Stick Lip & Cheek Tint in Sunset. This is a versatile product that can be used for both lips and cheeks with always saves a bit of room in the handbag. It's not a very pigmented colour and just gives a slight orangey reddish balm effect. However I like this for a more natural and neutral look, it isn't too heavy and thats what I like about it.

I've hear of people disliking these as they found they didn't show up very well on their skin. However this isn't the case with me, but that could be because I'm as white as a milk bottle haha. Although I did find that if used without lip balm it can become quite drying on the lips after repeated use.

I got it in Boots for around €7

Barry M Lip Paint in Coral (53) is a gorgeous orangey shade that would work well with a lot of skin tones. It's got a slight shimmer to it which is lovely and it really brightens up your complexion. However if you have dry chapped lips this will show up pretty clearly with this lipstick. So make sure to keep them hydrated or wear a lip balm.

I got it in Boots for around €5.99 but you can also purchase straight from Barry M himself on their website.

Well that's my favorite Spring lipstick shades. Let me know what you think, do you have any favorites that I should take a look at?

Soap & Glory Haul!

Boots 3 for 2 offer has sent me into a shopaholic frenzy! I went in 3 days in a row last week! I bought these goodies on the first day. I was in desperate need of lip balm as my lips were just flaking away and I ended up with the other two beauts!

So I picked up Smooch Operator Lip Balm. It smells absaloutely gorgeous, it healed up my lips in a couple of days and it leaves a lovely tingly feeling on them. I would deffo recommend, it's a bit like Caramax except with a gorgeous smell, it even tastes delicious haha! I can't remember the exact price but I think it was around €8 which I felt it was definitely worth.

I was a bit skeptical of the Kick Ass Concealer as it was only available in one shade and I thought it might be a bit dark for me.

 

I found the more orange shade a bit too dark but I really love the yellowy one, it brightens up my under eye area wonderfully. I also love the setting powder that's included, it's very light and this goes really well with my really fair skin tone! I don't know how well it would work on other skin tones but it suits mines perfectly. It cost nearly €15 which is a bit expensive for the budget I'm on, but I think it's a good price for the quality of the product.

Last but not least is Flake Away, an exfoliator for your legs. Its about time I scrubbed the winter feeling out of my legs and get them ready for summer shorts and skirts.

The scrub smelled amazing and looked and felt like melted sugar, with makes sense as it's made from shea butter, sugar and peach seed. My legs felt perfectly polished after I used this and really deeply cleaned. I have quite sensitive skin and I thought that maybe I might have reaction but it was fine! It cost around €10 with was decent I thought.

So that's everything. I definitely recommend trying these products out. If I had to pick a favorite I'd probably pick Flake Away because I really felt a huge difference after using it. However I really loved everything. Run into Boots during the 3 for 2 offer and grab yourself a few pieces!

You can also buy online at Soap & Glorys website.

Let me know what you think and do you recommend any other Soap and Glory products, I'm dying to try a few more!
