6 Shades For Summer

With it being May already and those warmer months being just around the corner, I thought it was about time that I started talking SUMMER over here on A Yellow Brick Blog! (waits for round of applause and woop woop's all round)

Not long now and we'll be sipping cocktails in the sun, heading to Festivals, wearing dresses without god damn tights and whipping out those bright and bold lip shades!

When it comes to summer and sunshine I love rocking bright, fun shades and it's one of my favourite times to try out new products and splurge my dollar!

So here are 6 of the shades that I will be rocking for sure over the next few months!

Left to right :

 Bourjois Aqua Laque - 06 Feeling Reddy 

This is one of the newest products from Bourjois' range. After the awesome success of their Rouge Velvet collection they have bought out the gorgeous Aqua range. Shiny, glosses liquid lipstick with an amazing staying power! I just had to pick up this bright red shade for summer.

 L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 401 Fuschia Drama

One of my ultimate favourites here. I bought this as soon as it was released and it has been in my most worn pile of products ever since then. I love fuschia shades and this liquid lipstick is gorgeous. I wear it at work alot and it stays on so, so well.

 L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick - 201 Rose Symphony

You probably already saw me talking about it earlier this week, with an awesome offer available I couldn't not purchase this. The most subtle of the shades I've picked, this is perfect for everyday wear and great to wear with all those pretty florals we like to rock.

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick - 110

A classic now. Rimmel's Kate Moss collection is my favourite drug store lipstick collection, hands down. This is a gorgeous matte coral - a bright shade to suit a number of different skin tones and great for a smaller budget.

MAC Lipstick - Candy Yum Yum

Now.... this is a BRIGHT one! Another matte product and another personal favourite of mine. I LOVE wearing this to festivals!

MAC Lipstick - Impassioned

Last but not least we have Impassioned, one of my favourite MAC products I own. This shade is like nothing else I own (and I'm not going to lie.. I own alot) which definitely helps it stand out in my collection. It's one of those shades that you can recognise on someone in a second, I don't think I'll ever get bored of pinks you know.

Feeling Reddy | Fuchsia Drama | Rose Symphony | 110 | Candy Yum Yum | Impassioned

L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick by Color Riche - 401 Fuschia Drama Review

Do you ever have one of those products that you see, you want, but you know you shouldn't buy because 1. you don't really need it and 2. you don't have the money?

 Well... this is that product for me! I am on a spending ban so another pink lip product to add to my collection just seems totally unnecessary BUT.... this has been whispering my name since the day I saw it a couple of weeks ago and I'm sorry to say but I finally gave into to the lipstick pressure and purchased it. (don't worry girls and boys I got a  total  3 for 2 bargain so it kind of made it all worth it!)

This is one of the new L'oreal L'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick by Color Riche in the shade 401 Fuschia Drama.

Like I just mentioned these are NEW lipsticks from L'oreal and they are a little different to anything else they sell because they are liquid lipsticks.

These are an oil-based product which come out super pigmented and smooth - the swatch I tried our in store had me sold!

Now this wasn't the only shade that I have been lusting over in this new collection but I thought buying one was bad enough so I narrowed it down to just my favourite of the bunch!

This is a gorgeous bright Fuschia shade (hence the name) and we all know how much Kirstie loves her Fuschia shades!

First up I have to say.... hello sunshine! I was so happy this past weekend to see that beautiful ball of fire in the sky - number one reason ...better photos for the blog yay!!

I love that this has a soft doe-footed applicator - it is the perfect shape and size for a quick, neat and easy lip. 

The product itself is so smooth and creamy with great pigmentation!

It really does feel as soft as a balm and on the lips looks just as thick and opaque as a lipstick but also super shiny just like a gloss!

3 in 1!

It has a lovely fruity scent which I love (I think it's the oils!) - there nothing worse than a gloss type product that either has no scent or a horrible one, so top marks for the L'oreal!

The only thing I would say was that I don't think this has the greatest staying power, personally I've had better (like Apocalips) but it's so easy to reapply and you only need one swipe to get a good colour.

I'm loving this product, it is so great for an everyday lip - the softness of a balm, the shine of a gloss and the colour of a lipstick, I'm so tempted to invest in some more of the colours now - but I must be strong for the spending ban!

Have you guys tried out these newbies from L'oreal yet?
