Lips (summer)




My school has a make-up policy (it's not that strict- but I cant exactly just come in with neon pink lips or anything) so I have to keep the lip glass/balm to a minimum, here are a two of my favourites...
    • lush snow fairy- this smells delicious, like sherbet and sugar... I was given this in a gift set for Christmas, I'm now addicted to this lip balm. It's not sticky, not too bright (although the colour in the tub looks it), and it lasts forever. The only downside is the price. When brought separately these are around £5 each, however my set was only £9 (and it included loads of other lush delights), this may seem like not a lot of money, but when you see the other lip balms you can purchase for the same price you'd be surprised.
    • Body Shop born lippy- I love smell of these lip balms to, they'r very fruity. I've tried 4 of the flavours and my favourite is definitely the raspberry one. I love the taste on your lips, it makes your lips very smooth. The only bad point it that it's very sticky, and runs out quite fast, it also doesn't stay on your lips for as long as you'd hope, it wears out within 15 minutes usually for me.
    • No7 lip gloss- I love the effect this gives your lips, it's so natural, but at the same time girly and pretty. It makes your lips shine, and the tiny particle of glitter reflect the light to make your lips appear bigger. It lasts for around half an hour, so regular top ups are necessary. By favourite colour is the one showed below.
    • MUA lip gloss- this was my budget buy lip gloss, to update my wardrobe for the spring. It's very shiny and girls, it doesn't really have a scent (however it doesn't smell bad), it's very good for the price, and the packaging is very minimal and sleek. I would buy this again, however it wears off quite fast through-out the day.
    • max factor lip stain- I was very eager to try out a lip stain, to see if they really work, I chose a max factor one in a rich plum as it suited my colouring. It's a very winter shade, so I may get a new one for the summer. It did work very well, and lasted all day, however it wasn't natural enough for school (probably getter for an evening). The only down side was the taste and the fact that if you applied it wrong you couldn't take it off; so you had to be really careful applying it. I was able to change the amount I put on so the colour was less obvious, I really liked this product.
