My Favourite Lipsticks for Spring and Summer

I have shared my favourite lipsticks for autumn and winter in this post: http://simonascornerofdreams.blogspot.ch/2017/01/my-favourite-lipsticks-for-autumn-and.html and now it's time to talk about my faves for spring and summer. 


For spring and summer I love different shades of coral, a bit of pink and even some bright red. 



The first three are from MAC. They are called Costa Chic, Sunny Seoul and Giddy. The most coral one is Sunny Seoul. Cosy Chic I bought this year in Dallas and Giddy I have had for a while, it's more pink than the other. I love the formula of these lipsticks.

These next ones are from Lara Geller, I bought them last year in Dallas at Nordstrom Rack. They are their Love Me Dew Lip Crayons, I have got them on the colours Mango Sorbet, Watermelon Cooler and Happiful. Mango Sorbet and Watermelon Cooler are two corals, one a bit darker than the other and Happiful is a pretty pink. Their formula is fab, they are easy to apply, moisturizing, quick and the smell nice. 





Last but not least, we have a Chubby Stick from Clinique in the colour heftiest hibiscus and a Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. The chubby sticks are great, easy to apply, great selection of colour, I really love them. I bought this one at the airport in dallas. It's a red, with a touch of coral. The Calrins Instant Light Lip Perfector is fab for traveling. It's like a lip gloss, which gives a bit of colours. This one is a mixture between orange and coral. It gives the lips a pink shimmer. 





Now, to the very last one. I bought it after taking photos for this post, so I really bought it recently. It's a NYX Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in the color Life's a Beach (Bright Coral). You have to be really careful when applying them, but the color is bright, shiny and very pretty.

My Favourite Lipsticks for Autumn and Winter


I know autumn is way over, but I tend to wear the same lipsticks in winter, so I thought I'd combine the two. I will also write one for spring and summer. The second point is that you all know that I'm not a beauty blogger, so excuse my photos. 

As a teacher I mostly wear lip balm, but when I go out in the evening or during the weekend for drinks, for a rehearsal, for shopping or other things I wear lipstick. I don't have that many, but that makes the choice much easier. 




As you can see it's a mixture of everything, I have Clinique, Mac and Maybelline. The colours are mostly dark reddish, a bit of pink and one nude. I don't really wear nudes and I'm not into the browns at all. 


First up Maybelline: I have three and they are all very different. The one on the left is # 176 in Raspberry Red. It's a dark pink shine lipstick. It's sparkly and fun. The one in the middle is # 725, it's called Tantalizing Taupe and is a beige nude. The one on the right is called Lust Affair, it's # 407, it's my fave out of the three.

Here are my beloved Chubby Sticks from Clinique, they are the best!!!! I have # 03 Mightiest Maraschino and strong dark red and # 04 Mega Melon, which I guess is the closest one I have going into the brown direction. Then on to the MAC lipstick in the color Hot Tahiti, it's a matt one and I love it. And then I also have a Maybelline color drama pencil in a lovely pink.

- Clinique 04: Mega Melon
- Mac: Hot Tahiti
- Maybelline: Minimalist


What I tend to do from time to time is combining two lipsticks, like the Mac one and the Maybelline on top. Or the two chubby sticks I have, because the dark red is to strong for certain occasions.
