The Prettiest Spring Shades for Your Lips
Spring has sprung and the prettiest colors for your lips are here. Remember the red-orange liquid mattes or creamy, hot pinks from last spring? Well this year we have even more unique options with fun, different textures as well.
Rogue Coco Gloss by Chanel is a wonderful gloss that you can apply over lipstick or mix with other colors from the line. The color you see here, Physical, goes beautifully over a tangy red lipstick because it gives it a bit of an orange hue over the lipstick color and then finishes with a shiny, glittery coat. It is the perfect medley of lipstick and gloss when you use both on your lips.
It is non-sticky and feels light, so you do not have to worry about those pesky little mosquitoes following you around and sticking to your lips, which happens to me all the time with those sticky glosses from last summer. It retails for $30.
Milani’s Color Statement Moisture Matte Lipstick in 71 Matte Flirty, a deep raspberry, is a matte lipstick (meaning it sets as a dry color with no shine) like many of its kind from last spring, with one exception — it is also blended with moisturizing ingredients. It is actually a moisture matte lipstick.
Your lips still get the dramatic effect of a matte, but they feel velvety and give off the look of having a suede-like finish. This feminine, yet bold color is perfect for a spring night out on a date with your favorite person. It retails for $6.
Lilac Lust from L’Oreal Infallible Lip Paints comes in colors from nudes to bold, but the unique thing about all the colors in this collection is that they are all high impact colors saturated with pigments. They also come with a designer applicator for close to perfect application for the lining of your lips.
This lipstick meets lipgloss in one tube stays shiny, but does not rub off easily since it is not a drying matte; it still manages to stay put. The pretty lilac color will blend nicely with most spring pastel colors. You could even try pairing this with one of the new spring eye shadow trends from a few weeks ago. You would surely look the part with both trends on. It retails for $9.99.
