Favourite Summer Lip Products

Hi everyone! I love when the seasonal blog posts start popping up everywhere, I think everyone does change the makeup to match the season and I definitely think a change in shade choices happens a lot. I tend to stick to nude shades for the majority of the year, but when summer comes round I definitely like to have a little change and choose some of my brighter more fun shades, so I thought I'd pick some of my favourites and post them on here. I'm always looking for recommendations as well as I haven't bought any lip products in ages, so if you've got any favourites please let me know in the comments as I'm on the look out for more shades this summer! I apologise for the lack of brand variation by the way, this just reflects what brands are my favourite though and these are definitely my top choices of all the lip products I own!


- NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Antwerp (£5.50). I never usually go for a matte lip in summer but this is so lovely and creamy it doesn't really feel like a matte, it just has the matte finish. Sometimes when you're out for long days as well you get such good staying power on these products, and they're really affordable which is a bonus! Antwerp is a really nice coral pink colour, it's not too bright which usually puts me off as I find really bold shades intimidating, so this is definitely a nice happy medium.

- NYX Butter Gloss in Maple Blondie (£5). I'm really not a lip gloss person, and I can seriously say that the Butter Glosses are probably the only lip glosses I'm keen on, the shade range is so good, and they don't have that really overly sticky finish that a lot of lip glosses have which I like. I love the finish for summer as well, plus they're so moisturising which I definitely prefer at this time of year. Maple Blondie is a really pretty deep peach shade and I really think it would look good on so many skin tones.

- Collection Cream Puff Lip Cream in Fairy Cake (£2.99). I would definitely say this is really similar to the NYX Lip Cream that I mentioned, the shade and the formula is so similar, this one is just a bit cheaper, and it is really affordable. The reason I included this is that NYX isn't the most accessible in the UK so if you can't get their lip creams then this is definitely a good alternative. Fairy Cake is another nice coral pink shade, I wore this so much when I was on holiday last year, it's so nice with a tan as well, so it's perfect for summer.

- Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Penelope Pink (£23). This shade is completely different from any that I have mentioned, it's such a nice nude pink however I included it because it's my favourite lip product that I own by far and I wear this all year round, I used it lots in winter and I will be using it lots in summer as well, the formula is amazing and I really think this is the perfect nude. It's not cheap but it's so worth the money!

- MAC Sunny Seoul (£15.50). This was actually the first MAC lipstick I bought, I wore it non-stop in Mexico and it is the nicest light pink shade, I'd describe it as a warm pink with a luminous finish, it's a cremesheen lipstick which is definitely my favourite finish from MAC, and it's one of those shades that will look good on everyone.

- MAC Flamingo (£15.50). I don't wear this one as often as I should as it is probably the brightest out of all the products here, but this to me is one of the most perfect summer shades, it's a pink with a hint of coral, so not too full on and it's a lustre finish so you get a bit more coverage with this shade than you would with a cremesheen. I can't wait to wear this one more when I'm a bit more tanned as it's so pretty and definitely perfect for when you're on holiday.

- MAC Koi Coral (£15.50). You can so tell I'm not the most adventurous with my summer shades, as this is another coral shade, however it's more of a pale peachy nude and this is also a cremesheen finish. I love this shade so much, I'm really not into really bold shades so at summer shades like this are so nice for me, this one is a bit more shimmery than any of the others I've mentioned so I love this for the night time in summer.


Antwerp, Maple Blondie, Fairy Cake 


Penelope Pink, Sunny Seoul, Flamingo, Koi Coral

These are definitely my go to shades this summer, they aren't too bold or full on but they are still really bright and pretty, a bit more adventurous than my standard nude shade but not too crazy that they scare me! Please let me know in the comments some of your favourite lip products you'll be using this summer, I'm wanting to buy some more as it feels like forever that I've gone out and bought a new lip product, plus I want to expand my horizon!
