4 colourful shades for summer

Whenever we prettify our pout, we cheerfully take full advantage of lipstick trends. From raspberry to coral, and translucent to opaque, all of this season’s propositions have caught our eye. For lipstick lovers, here are 4 specimens that put a smile on our face. (But beware, since the warm season has only just begun, we have many more surprises in store!) But back to today’s feature tubes….

Tasty Treat

Just like candy, this jelly tube is nothing short of tempting. In addition to appealing to our girlie side, it possesses the benefits of lipstick, lip gloss, and lip balm. Now we’re talking! This stick beautifies our lips with a transparent sheen . With that in mind, how could we possible resist the candy allure of this proposition? Especially given that this new offering is available for summer only… so get it while it lasts!

Clarins Instant Smooth Crystal Lip Balm (Crystal Violet), $27 at Clarins beauty counters.

Tenacious Hold

Next, a long-lasting find. The idea? Simply apply this pigment onto your lips and watch the faithful hue remain intact for the next 14 hours. We have a weakness for its creamy texture, which lends itself to both low- and high-intensity looks, and won’t dry up your pout. Even better: since this lipstick virtually imprints our lips, when it fades, it does so gradually and uniformly.

Maybelline Super Stay 14HR Lipstick (Eternal Rose), $9.99 in pharmacies and department stores.

All-in-One

First, there’s the stylish presentation. Then, there’s the coral shade, which intensifies our craving for summer. You’ll also notice its dual tip, which reveals a high-pigmented lipstick and a lacquered lip gloss. Thus, we wear one formula or the other, or combine both according to our mood. After all, the best way to revive faded lipstick is to simply add some gloss over it. Here, we have an infallible duo!

Jacob Lip Duo (Flirty Bikini), $10 at Jacob stores and online.

Copious Goods

Ah, sweet hydration! Meet this glossy offering which promises a soft pout and, thus, comfort. A cocktail of hydrating oils and antioxidant vitamin E makes up this transparent lipstick. But let’s get back to its shine. This orangey gem reveals a sparkling finish. That said, the collection from which it stems counts 44 shades, including shiny and metallic hues. The most difficult thing is deciding which one to choose!

Sephora Collection Rouge Shine Lipstick (Latin Lover), $14 at Sephora.
