Setting Up For Spring!

Superdrug currently has a mix and match 3 for 2 offer and so I decided to pick up some new lip colours for the spring time! 

First up, is probably my favourite purchase of them all! A Revlon colourburst matte balm in the shade 245 Audacious! I've been wanting a really lovely coral lip colour for what seems like forever and I swatched this in superdrug and loved it! It has a matte finish, however it seems to be incredibly creamy with great pigmentation! They are quite pricey for what they are, retailing at £7.99.

Another thing thats been trending lately is the 'oh so raved about' MAC lipstick in Velvet Teddy! This is a Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 03, a beautiful muted pinky mauve colour and a great dupe for Velvet Teddy! From the previous Kate Moss swatches I've done, the pigmentation is so good, unbelievable for it's cheap price of £5.49. These have been raved about for their great staying power too; a must-have for spring!

Next, is a Maybelline Baby Lips in Pink Punch! These are really light and moisturising and give the smallest hint of colour, lovely when your going for a subtle look or just want to throw on more than vaseline! This looks like a neon shade but sort of wears as a nice baby pink colour, which I quite like.

This is a purchase made purely on other people's recommendations and as it was only £2.99 I thought I would give it a go! It's in the shade 3 fairy cake and claims to have a velvety finish to it. Again, this has a great pigmentation, better than any lipgloss I've tried before and is probably more of a liquid lipstick, with hint of coral in it. Its quite a creamy formula - hence the name! And seems to be very moisturising on the lips! From the packaging it looks like more of a pink shade, which it is, however it is build-able to make the perfect coral shade I was after. I would recommend applying a lip balm before this as it has a matte look to it and may cling to dry patches. If your on a budget and want something thats more than just a plain lip gloss...this ones for you! 

OH MY GLOSS! I believe this is a new lipgloss launch from Rimmel, claiming to have a staying power of up to 6hrs! I swatched this in Superdrug and again this has a really nice pigmentation to it and looked lovely over the top of the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 03! This is in the shade 150 Glossaholic and could be worn on it's own as it has a really nice sheen to it, with a hint of colour and is sort of a classic Kylie Jenner nude.

I won't go into too much detail about the Rimmel wake me up concealer because it has been raved about way too much and you have probably heard it all before, however, if you are looking to cover spots this might not be the one for you as it has an anti fatigue affect, which is good for highlighting under your eyes and around your face. The anti fatigue affect would highlight and make your spots stand out if you were to use it for that, as it contains a slight shimmer! Other than that it seems to be a nice, light and creamy consistency and many people love it!

Lastly, because I had spent my money on three items on the 3 for 2 offer, I got a free cosmetics bag! It's a nice little size for daily essentials or even as a pencil case for school. If you want one, hurry to Superdrug before you miss the offer!

The main gripe I had about these products is the difficulty in getting the security tags off of them. It sounds silly, I know, but It was such a pain to get them off when they left a horrible sticky residue on the products - not impressed! Apart from that, I hope this gave you some beauty inspiration for spring/summer and sorry this was such a long post!
