Top 6 Summer Lip Products

Summer's here! So here is a cut of my favourite lip products for the season. This post was meant to be a 'Top 5', but I just had to squeeze in another, so 'Top 6' it is! Most of these are newly launched, but a couple are old favourites, and I've tried to include a variety of shades into the mix. 

From left to right: Chanel Coco Rouge Lipstick in 'Misia' || Barry M Lip Paint (Pink) || Bourjois Rouge Aqua Laque Lipstick in 'Babe Idole' || Barry M Matte Me Up Lip Crayon (Red) || Elizabeth Arden Beautiful Color Matte Lipstick in 'Raspberry' || NYX Lip Butter in 'Fun Size'

Bourjois Rouge Edition Aqua Laque Lipsticks

The new Rouge Edition Aqua Laque lipsticks by Bourjois have been centre-stage ever since they launched last month, offering a high-shine lip stick/gloss hybrid with good colour payoff. I haven't actually worn a lip gloss in ages; for years, I've been a matte lipstick girl but I actually really like these new Aqua Laque Lipsticks.

The Aqua Laque Lipsticks are available in a variety of shades from bright reds to opaque nudes and provide a realistic 'wet' look (the word 'Aqua' definitely belongs in the product name). I understand that glossy lips aren't for everyone but I think they're great for glamorous evening and party looks. Also, I think these are great for those swimming pool selfies in the summer!

Festive Favourites | Bourjois Smoky Stories Eyeshadow Palettes

I've been loving these Smoky Stories (great name!) trio eyeshadow palettes that Bourjois recently launched. Bourjois is a great brand that embodies the idea that make-up can make women feel special as well as look it, and their Magic Nail Polish Remover has been a must-have for me for over two years! 

Here I have two of the colour themed palettes, and I love the quirky names to them (Left: Night and Grey. Right: Over Rose). The packaging and sleek and compact so they can be carried around with you throughout the day.
