My top 5 lip products for Spring.

The weather is getting warmer (almost too warm actually), the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming aaaand my newly acquired allergies, are making my life a little more difficult...!
However spring is the time for brighter lippies so I thought it is the perfect time to post this.
I started experimenting with brighter lip colours about a year ago so I am not a veteran so-to-speak.
But, after looking around and trying stuff on, I know what looks good and what I am comfortable with.
Sooooo here we go...


From top to bottom 
 MAC "Trend Gently" Tendertone 
L'oreal caresse "Rock n' Mauve" lipstick
Revlon Just Bitten kissable balm stain in "Rendez-vous"
MAC "Betty Bright" lipstick
MAC "Chatterbox" lipstick

L'oreal caresse "Rock n' Mauve" lipstick
MAC "Betty Bright" lipstick
MAC "Chatterbox" lipstick
Revlon Just Bitten kissable balm stain in "Rendez-vous"
MAC "Trend Gently" Tendertone 

As you can see there is a variety of colours and finishes. The one that I wear the most is the tendertone because of the fact that it is not very bright but it still looks nice on the lips and creates a shine which is great for this time of year. 
I like matching the balm stain with peachy cheeks and a pale complexion. As for the two mac lippies, I like wearing them on their own with a bit of mascara. 
Now the L'oreal lipstick is the only one of these lippies that I tend to only wear if and when I go out. 
What do you guys think of these lip products? Have you tried any similar colours? Do you own any of them?
Let me know in the comments what YOUR favourite spring lip products are.

NOTD Essie "Watermelon"

Hey you guys,

How was your weekend? I just got my nails done and decided to use one a brighter colour since the weather is sooooo much better and Spring is ,officially, here.
I am not a big fan of the season really but if the season means I get to wear brighter polishes I am all for it really...!! :P
Now I have had this specific colour in my collection for about 10 months and this is the first time I get to see what it looks like on my nails. So, I thought I should share some swatches with you all...!!
 

Now, here is a collage of swatches under different lights. 


This is the one swatch that I feel is THE MOST accurate...

As you can see, it is a pretty accurate watermelon colour (hence the name)

I hope you guys like this post. 
Have a great week.
