Yes, it's a real thing. It's a beautiful thing, honestly, as lipstick is my absolute favorite makeup product. (You don't want to see my collection - it's a beast.) So I figured that today, in honor of this glorious, glorious day, I would share my top five favorite summer lipsticks with you all.
I will say this much: I prefer a bright lip year round. That means when summer rolls around I'm totally in my element.
First up I have a product I've featured on this blog before, the Clinique Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Balm, this one in the shade Plushest Punch. This is a true pink lip balm/lipstick and has easily become my signature color not only for the summer but for my LIFE. I'm obsessed with the color - I think it works perfectly for my skin tone and suits any makeup look while looking bright but not too bright. It's also super moisturizing. Next I have two MAC lipsticks in Impassioned, a bright fuschia-coral shade, and Tart and Trendy, an amazing orange which was unfortunately limited edition last summer. Boo, I know, but MAC has a ton of other orange shades that I love (next on my list is Tangerine Dream) and at the heart of it, I just love orange for summer. It's so sunshiney and wonderful!
My next pick is technically a lip balm, but it's a tinted lip balm! And one I featured on my blog quite a bit last summer so you know it's true love. The Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Lip Balm in Strike a Rose is stunning for a quick splash of moisture and color. Last up is a lipstick by The Body Shop. It's a Colour Crush Lipstick in the shade 325 Darlin Blush which is actually quite a bit different from the rest. Darlin Blush is more of a natural tone (not nearly as bright as the rest of my picks) but has some shimmer to it to make it fun for summer.
From top to bottom: Clinique Chubby Stick Intense in Plushest Punch, MAC Lipstick in Impassioned, MAC Lipstick in Tart and Trendy, Maybelline Baby Lips Electro in Strike a Rose, and The Body Shop Colour Crush Lipstick in 325 Darlin Blush.
That wraps up my National Lipstick Day summer lipsticks post! Now I'm probably going to put one of these bad boys on and really celebrate the day. Let me know which shade is your favorite and what your favorite summer lipstick is down in the comments below.
As always, thanks for reading and I love you very much!
