Top Three Thursdays | Spring Lip Colours

L-R | Barry M in Sunset | MAC Vegas Volt | Benefit My Treat

today is my last top three thursday post, and i thought i'd share my top three spring lip shades now that winter is slowly on its way out and i've picked one red, one orange and one pink toned shade.

if you're after a spring red, then Barry M Lip Paint in 151 Sunset needs to be added to your collection. this is a gorgeous light red shade with subtle orangey hues in a matte finish and looks so much more vibrant on the lips for the upcoming season than a true red, or one with more burgundy undertones. it's also super affordable at just £4.49 and is just as long-lasting on the lips as any of its high end counterparts! if you want to add some more spring shades to your collection and not break the bank, then i suggest you pop to your local Barry M stand.

if an orange/coral colour is more your thing then the infamous MAC Vegas Volt is the one for you. with its amplified finish it's moisturising on the lips whilst still being super pigmented and long-lasting. the formula is very creamy, and i know it's slightly more on the pricey end at £14, but if you're just going to have a couple of MAC lippies in your collection then this needs to be one of them. it's a lovely warm orange that isn't too bright for spring, but makes such a nice change from darker winter shades.

last up is Benefit's My Treat at  which is a beautiful fuchsia pink with blue undertones and a colour i never thought suited me, but i am determined to get back into pink lips. again, it has warm hues of colour in to make it great for that winter transition but isn't a bright summery shade. this isn't as pigmented as the other two and adds more of a hint of colour than a bold, matte lip which i know is more up some of your streets. very glossy and moisturising, but not too much so that it doesn't stick around on your lips. unfortunately this has since been discontinued, but their new lipstick line in the shade Juicy Details looks really similar for £15.

i'd love to know your spring and summer lip colour suggestions as i find it hard to move away from my trusty winter shades at this time of year.
