Beautiful and BRIGHT!! My favorite Bright Lipsticks!


Hello beauty lovers!!  I am a huuuge fan of bright colors and I am especially loving the bright lip trend that's been going on.  I know that brights can be scary to start off with but I know that once you find the right colors, you'll realize how wonderful they really are.  So to give you some suggestions, here are my favorites!

I went in no real particular order so I hope you enjoy the randomness! 

Number one is Milani Color Statement Lipstick in Flamingo Pose.  Milani's website desricbes this as a "flamingo coral cream."  I love it's borderline pinky coral red color and I am a huge fan of cream lipsticks so this is most definitely one of my favorites.  Random fact about this line of lipsticks, I love their scent.  They smell like a watermelon Jolly Rancher!

Lip swatches are too much fun!


Number two is Maybelline's Color Sensational Fifth Avenue Fuschia. This was my first pink lipstick ever and I still love it to this day!  Sometimes for a bonus pop of pink I will layer Revlon's Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pink Pop over top but this lipstick is a dream!



Third is another Maybelline lipstick that the internet has fawned over.  The Vivid lipstick in Vivid Rose.  So gorgeous I can't even say much more about it.


Fourth in our colorful line up is Maybelline's Color Sensational in Coral Crush.  This may not be as bright as the others so it may be a nice place to begin with brights.  I feel it maybe a bit more sheer than the others but still beautiful nonetheless.

 Coming up next is another Milani Color Statement in Rose Hip.  This color is so pink that it totally broke me from my aversion to holy-cow-thats-pink lip colors. I love it!


 And rounding out my brights favorites is the Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple.  I first started dabbling in brights with this color.  I love a red lip but I was scared of it getting all over my face while I was working or the high maintenance that can sometimes come with bright colors because I don't get time to touch up my makeup while I'm working.  This was the perfect solution, the shine to it helped disguise any small imperfections but it still delivers in the color department.  I also sometimes add Jordana EasyLiner lip liner in Sedona Red to help boost the color and staying power but overall I love this lipstick.



And of course I did some traditional swatching of all of these colors!

 Honorable Mention products are definitely Revlon's Lip Butters in Sorbet and Wild Watermelon from this springs collection.  Also incredibly beautiful.

As you may have noticed all but one of these lipsticks have a cream finish, they are just my favorite.  I also like the sheen that the Lip Butters have because I definitely don't need a gloss on top of them. 

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this post! Thanks so much for checking it out!!

Sooo much love!!!
