Summer Bold Lips (Take Two)...


At last, we're into Summer. I mean, we were already in terms of the time of year, but the UK weather finally seems to have caught up too. So, with that in mind, I thought I'd share some of my favourite bold, bright lips for the occasion! I mean, we all know I love a good nude/neutral lip, but I also definitely appreciate a lovely bold or bright one too (just as I love my deeper colours in Autumn/Winter) so I figured it'd be nice to share some of my favourites for this year! Cause, although I've done this style of post before, naturally my favourites have changed over time - mainly due to me adding new lippies to my stash - so without any further ado, let's take a closer look...

SLEEK MATTE ME LIP CREAM IN 'FRENCH FANCY' - A mid-toned, warm pink that has been in my collection for a while now and I come back to gladly every Spring/Summer - I love this matte liquid lip from Sleek! I love the formula of the whole Matte Me Lip Cream range - goes on glossy, quickly dries down fully matte and lasts nearly impeccably all day/night long - and this colour is no exception. The warm undertone makes it a pretty flattering shade to wear and I just love this colour for the warmer months, it's so easy to throw on with a more simple eye look or just mascara/eyeliner and have an instant, Summery look in a matter of seconds.

JEFFREE STAR COSMETICS VELOUR LIQUID LIPSTICK IN 'PROM NIGHT' - Now, this one is a more recent addition to my stash that I chose for my Birthday back in May, wholly for the upcoming Summer months in mind and let me just say, I've been loving it so far! This is such a gorgeous, bright, hot pink colour. Again, it's a matte liquid lip so goes on glossy and dries down to a matte finish and so stays in place really well and lasts really well too - something especially always after when talking bold or bright lip colours. I love the Velour Liquid Lipstick formula - I've tried other colours from the range before - and this shade is just the same. I really do love this colour so, so much. It's a bright pink but with this really lovely, warmer undertone which - as I said earlier - makes it so flattering on the skin! Sometimes bright pink lippies can come with a more cooler, blue-ish, Barbie-esque tone to them and while I'm actually not offended by them and like wearing them (as you'll find out next), the warmer colours like this one from Jeffree Star definitely tend to be a little easier to wear, which is always a handy bonus...

MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY MATTE INK LIQUID LIPSTICK IN 'ROMANTIC' - Moving onto two awesome shades from Maybelline and one of my favourite liquid lip formulas - the Super Stay Matte Inks! These are a little different as whilst they go on shiny, they kinda stay that way. I mean, they do dry and set into place, it's just that they sort of retain that little bit of sheeney-ness to them. I guess they have that slightly 'patent' finish to them - yanno? And actually, they happen to be one of the most hardy and long-lasting liquid lip ranges of them all. They seriously do. not. budge. all day or night long and hardly even wear away much through eating and drinking. So, great for long-wear and even greater for colours - just take a look at this one right here! A super pretty, bright pink once again! However, this one is a little different to 'Prom Night' as, like I said earlier, it's got a more cool-toned finish to it. It's perhaps more of a Barbie pink and is more blue-based this time. But, as I said before, I still really love those types of hot pinks - hence why I have this one in my collection!

MAYBELLINE SUPER STAY MATTE INK LIQUID LIPSTICK IN 'DANCER' - Another gorgeous colour from the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Inks is this true red. I love a good red lip in the Summer but, just like the Autumn/Winter, I definitely have a specific type which I tend to gravitate most towards in the warmer months. It's either gotta be a true red, or something brighter or orange-based. This one definitely falls into the former category and I love it! Again, same great formula as before and such a stunning shade too. You can't beat a red lip anytime of year really, can you? And this one especially is just so good for the Summer...

SLEEK MATTE ME LIP CREAM IN 'RIOJA RED' - So, sticking with the reds, we come to the final lip colour of this line-up. Another rouge, but this time - a much brighter, more blue-based one. I just love how bold and vivid this type of red is and to me, its bright finish just makes it a perfect red for Summer! It's also got that same Matte Me formula I really enjoy - so really, what's not to love?
