Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey
This is probably my favourite of all 5. It's easy to wear and suits a multitude of skin tones. It's a beautiful easy to wear pink that is ultra-moisturising on the lips. It looks darker in the tube but when applied to the lips is actually a brighter rosy toned pink. It leaves a nice gloss like sheen to the lips but after a few hours of wear the gloss wears away leaving a stain making this a brilliant product to wear on days you know you won't be able to touch it up. This balm stain can be worn over the top of lip balm so lips don't dry out or look flaky but can also be used over the top of another colour that may be too bright for spring.
Kate Moss For Rimmel In Shade 33
This is one lipstick that may require slight work on certain skin types. More of a peachy/coral toned pink this lipstick can be tricky for extremely fair skin tones to wear. However there is a way around this. It can be worn several ways, either a sheer layer applied, patted into the lips to leave a stain or the full opaque finish most people want. This is another product that can be worn over lip balm but if you don't like the feeling then it has a non drying formula which will leave lips looking good all day. It's a sheen finish which means it a bit more work than other types but because it can be worn several ways it's a easy product to use to change a look.
Bourjois Rogue Edition Velvet in So Hap'pink
This is the first of only two matte products in this edit, I couldn't even fathom writing this post without giving them a mention. It's non transferable formula is one of the best I've ever tried and you can eat and drink without worrying about having to touch up. At first glance this looks like a slightly darker pink but actually goes onto the lips as a peachy pink and on some skin tones will look even like a coral colour. With a doe foot applicator this is one liquid lipstick that applies opaque in one coat. It can be quite tacky when first applied but once it's dried it's not going to budge until you remove it.
Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream in Cotton Candy
This is the other matte product in my edit. Along the same lines as the Bourjois one this is a slightly darker toned pink which looks stunning on fairer toned skins. Less of a liquid lipstick this product is good to go and opaque in one swipe but can built upon to give more of a pop of colour. This product can be quite tricky to wear, if it doesn't dry properly then it can transfer even though it's a matte formula. However if it does dry properly this product won't transfer but can be quite drying on the lips and I highly recommend that you keep a lip scrub handy for either before or after you wear it.
Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in Peony
This lipstick is probably the most wearable out of the five. A new release down the beauty aisles, this lipstick is one I find myself grabbing for more often than not when the balm stain is not within reach. Another coral toned pink this lipstick is ultra moisturising on the lips and looks gorgeous on just about everyone. With a sheen finish, this can be thrown over a lip balm for a sheer finish or can be built up to a bright opaque pop of colour. It has a slightly different shape to most lipsticks which makes it easy to apply as it distributes colour evenly on the lips. And if this colour isn't working with particular look you're going for then it can be mixed with the other pinky toned shades from the range. I actually reviewed the range last week on my blog which you can find here if you want to know more.
So that was my Sping Lip Edit. Did any of them catch your eye? Or did you have your only spring lip recommendations?
