The change from winter to spring
is in my opinion, one of the most exciting times of the year. As we enter the
spring season the weather is of a warm and bright atmosphere meaning the colours
transform from dark colours to more vibrant. Easter is also during this season,
so it’s just another excuse to eat chocolate. However spring impacts on
numerous of makeup brands as they begin to stock up with their newly seasonal
products. For this Makeup Monday, I am focusing on my top 5 favourite drugstore
lipsticks to wear during the spring season.

As spring is the introduction for the light and pastel colours, I have chosen lipsticks which compliment with this trend. I have selected colours ranging from bright orange through to a bubblegum pink.
The three orange lipsticks are by the Rimmel lasting finish lipstick, along with the Bourjois Rouge Edition. Firstly the Rimmel lipsticks are of a great consistency and apply well. The smell of these lipsticks are also sweet and fruity, which suits the spring season perfectly. Lipstick 210 Coral in Gold can seem quite daunting from its bold orange appearance, however when applied it gives a much toned down orange, primarily the colour is portrayed as the name of it; 'coral in gold'. In comparison, the 206 Nude Pink, is different only by it's slightly more pink toned coral colour. These lipstick also cost at a relatively cheap price of £4.99. In a result these lipsticks give a shimmery finish, meaning they would be more suited for a night out. However if you're looking for a more wearable and everyday lipstick the Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick is the one for you. This is personally one of favourite lipstick as it gives a matte finish, making it much easier to wear everyday. The consistency is really moist and lasts on your lips for majority of the day, which for a everyday lipstick is convenient. It's price is at £7.99, a little bit extra than the Rimmel lasting lipsticks, but the quality of this product is definitely worth the price. Overall if you are leaning more towards in purchasing a orange or coral coloured lipstick for either a night out or everyday wear, I would recommend putting these on your wish list.
The last two lipsticks are the more pink coloured lipsticks. These are my all time favourite lipsticks, both covering the different shades of pink. Choosing the perfect pink shade can be difficult as it can wash you out. Therefore the reason why I have selected a variety of shades. The pinkest shade being another Rimmel brand, from the moisture renew collection, called 'Oxford Street Fuchsia'.This lipstick is convenient for all year round, as it is basically a lip balm. This is a good dupe for the Revlon Lip butter. The downside of this lipstick is that it gives a strong scent of an original lip balm. Aside that the application is a dream to put on. The consistency is creamy and moist and gives a strong colour. The main advantage of this lipstick is that it can be worn for both night outs and casual everyday. This can be done by how much you apply. To get an everyday look, you can apply a minimal amount and blend it into your lip, or on the other hand, apply all over the lip. However from its consistency it naturally gives a vibrant result. The cost for this Rimmel lipstick is more than the Rimmel lasting finish, at a cost of £6.49, although the quality of this lipstick is seriously worth the price. Lastly, the lightest shade is from the L'oreal Natural Lipstick collection. This is furthering away from your drugstore price at, £8.19, however this ticks all the boxes for me. It is my most worn lipstick and one that I will always go back to. It gives the lowest of shimmer but I personally think this works well with such a light shade. The application is great, with after one layer and it creates a natural look. One of the hardest things i have with wearing a light shade lipstick, is if it actually looks like i am wearing it a lipstick, but with this it does but not over doing atall. The packaging is also my favourite, the contrast between the light pink and shiny gold packaging is beautiful.
Overall I hope this has helped decide on what lipstick to go for, if its to finalize which one you're going to buy or simply getting ideas what colours and styles get.
