17 Shades of Spring | My Lipstick Collection

Spring is one of my favourite times of year, as all the colours of lipstick I love the most are back in fashion and look incredible! Whilst I'm sad to put away my maroon shades I have been loving this Winter, I am glad to be able to dig out my oranges and pinker coloured lipsticks again ready for the warmer months. I want to share with you today the shades which I will be rocking this Spring...I haven't included tinted lip balms (bar one) or lip glosses in this collection as I rarely wear them! 


Spring is all about bringing out the more vibrant orange and pink colours - and I am ready and prepared for any outfits perfect companion with my '17 Shades of Spring' personal lipstick collection.

The Pastel Colours
Pastel colours are making a transition from clothing to makeup this Spring, and I think that no collection would be complete without some beautiful peach and pink based pastel colours to highlight the changing months. I have changed my wardrobe around to feature a lot of greens and blues this spring, and I want my lipstick to compliment that, so I have selected three pastel colours which will be making up my Pastel collection this spring

1 | MaxFactor 'English Rose: 510'
2 | ASDA 'Beige Bliss: 06'
3 | ASDA Matte 'Smooch: 1'



The Oranges
Oranges are another colour that I'm really happy to see this spring, and there are some fantastic new lipsticks out there which are perfect for the warmer tones. I grabbed one in particular (featured here) from MaxFactor a few weeks ago which really rekindled my love of the MaxFactor lip products, which is more of a tinted lip balm - but the colour is so vibrant and lovely I couldn't resist putting it in this lipstick collection. I think orange is a colour which is so nice to have in these warmer, more sunny days, and something which we will be seeing a lot of in the coming months - especially from me with my day time outfits!

4 | MaxFactor Colour Intensifying Lip Balm 'Posh Poppy: 4330'
5| Dior Addict ' Spring Ball: 343' 


The Pinks
Changing out of the bright pinks I'v been seeing, and expect to see again come the summer time, spring is the perfect time to experiment with a more toned down pink in the day time, and I have a number of favourite shades which have been with the for numerous springs in some cases!

6 | Barry M '339:113'
7 | ASDA ' Small Talk: 17'
8 | ASDA 'Casino: 19'
9 | MaxFactor 'Bewitching Coral: 827'


The Nudes
Nudes are always a staple collection to have in any season, but this spring, I have gone for more pink and peach coloured nudes - and one product from Avon which I think is fantastic at the moment and it is incredibly moisturising. I find this a god send in these awkward months where the warm weather hasn't quite reached us in Good Olde Blighty and my lips get very chapped.

10 | Avon Moisturising Miracle 'Pink'
11 | L'Oreal Made For Me Lip Blush (Dark Brunettes) 'Berry Blush: 258'
12 | MAC Frost 'Plum Dandy: AB2'
13 | MAC Matte 'Velvet Teddy: A23'


The Night Time Hotties
Every season has its day time and night time looks - and for me this spring it's all about the bright reds and pinks for the night time look. Winter warm colours such as purples are gone and bright, vibrant colours are making a come back for evening looks in the spring.

14 | Bourjois Rouge à Lévres 'Sweet Kiss: 56'
15 | L'Oreal Made For Me Intense (Dark Blondes) 'Burning Rose: 286'
16 | Rimmel London Moisture Renew 'As You Want Victoria: 360'
17 | Colorsensational 'Cherry Candy: 550'

Hi Anisha thanks for the comment! Yeah ASDA do quite a few lipsticks that I've collected over the past 12 months especially - they do them as part of the George range. They aren't as vibrant and stand out as other, more expensive brands, but I love them for every day wear - they are such good value! xx
