My favourite drugstore summer lip products!

Hello everyone! Hope you are all enjoying the first few weeks of summer! I have been out of school for 2 weeks and i don't know about you, but I've done absolutely nothing productive so far! Anyways, I'm sitting here drinking chai tea and listening to Imagine Dragons and i had an idea! I love buying new lip products especially in the summer! I know it can be quite difficult when buying new products to judge how they are going to look or what quality they are going to be. Worry no more! I have chosen 6 drugstore lip products that i love using in summer! I believe these products are really good quality and work the best for me and my skin tone. Enjoy!


First off is the 'Maybelline Color Whisper' in shade 65 'Pink Possibilities. I adore this color! It is a beautiful soft pink with a slight coral tinge to it. It is by no means a lipstick! It is a moisturising tinted lip balm which is a little like the 'Revlon Lip Butters' but not as pigmented. This just brightens up my face and adds a nice splash of color to my minimal summer makeup. This retails for $5.94 at Target and in my opinion that is a steal! This requires reapplication 2 or 3 times but overall i love it!  (I apologise for the horrible lighting! The weather right now it's so hit and miss its ridiculous!)


The next product I'm loving is an old one! It is the 'Revlon Lip Butter' in shade 090 'Sweet Tart'. I have recently repurchased this because i loved it so much! The Lip Butters from Revlon are some of my all time favourite drugstore products in general! They are amazingly pigmented and so moisturising. This color is a beautiful darker pink and i love it for summer dinner parties or going out with friends! This retails for $6.29 at my Target and i think it is worth every penny! The swatch is the one on the right!


The next product is praised by everyone! It is the 'Maybelline NY Baby Lips' in shade 25 'Pink Punch'. This is a lip balm and i honestly don't know what i would do without it! I use it so often! Its such a great product because it is so moisturising (reoccurring pattern?) and so light and easy to wear! It costs a measly $2.99 at Target and it is amazing! When applied it is a barbie pink but it also has a bit of a frosty effect which kind of adds a little bit of a lilac finish. It also smells AMAZING! Swatch is on far right.

 
I have been loving this next product! It is the 'Covergirl Lipperfection Jumbo Gloss Balm' in shade 235 'Coral Twist' . This colour just screams summer to me! I love how it is coral which looks absolutely incredible with a tan! I was surprised how long this product lasts on the lips! With the other products i have mentioned, you need to reapply every few hours for the best results but i only had to reapply this once or twice throughout the course of the day. This retails for $6.99 at Target and i love it and will be purchasing more colors! The swatch is on the far right!

 


The last products are possibly my favourite! They are the EOS lip balms! I literally wear these everysingle day! The two i'm loving right now are tangerine and pommegranite. They taste incredible and make my lips feel amazing! I reccomend that everyone try them!

I hope you all enjoyed this post and i apologise for the crappy picture quality I'm working on it! Please leave a comment below if you have any questions or requests(reviews etc.). I hope you all have an amazing summer ! Talk to you soon xxxx
