Spring Drugstore Lip Product Favorites


With spring coming up there is one thing I am getting really excited about and that is brighter lips! I am saving the bright pinks for summer but light blush tones, nudes and reds are exactly what I like to wear this time of the year. Where I live it is still cold outside and it probably still will be for quite some time - therefore I am trying to incorporate things that remind me of spring into what I wear while still keeping warm. Lips is what I feel like the easiest way to do so!

essence 52 In the Nude (top right)
These two lipsticks are a part of the old lipstick range of essence. They are rather sheer (which is why 52 In the Nude looks so scary in the tube (?)) but therefore easy to apply and I still really like them. The finish is more glossy which makes the color look fresh and more natural.

These lipsticks have a silky finish that is not glossy like the other ones. They are all part of the long lasting lip stick line by essence (and may I say the packaging is so much better then the old ones!). They are more opaque but not as moisturising. I love all three colors but out of these 13 Love Me must be my favorite.

Up until now I did not notice that all the products but the Maybelline Super Stay Tint Gloss are by essence. That was not on purpose! Haha. The essence gloss does not "stay with you" that long but it is far more opaque than the other glosses by essence that I have tried. I like to where this with I make up because it sort of tones down the natural red of your lips while still managing to make them look natural and of course nice and glossy. The Maybelline Tint Gloss was a Christmas Gift that I have loved ever since I got it. The only problem I have with it is that you have to have "perfect" lip before (so no chapping or anything like that) because otherwise it will make those "imperfections" stand out even more. It smells like cherries and I just love the color. There is something about it that is very flattering against my rather pale skin. I love it <3

Is it already getting warmer where you live? What are your favorite Spring products (I am thinking about doing a spring nail polish or jewelry post)?
