Hi Lovelies!
So it's my first post in June! How crazy! Next stop Christmas!
Luckily we've got summer before then though! Being a summer and sunshine person means that any lipstick with the word summer in it, is definitely going to be found in my lipstick collection. If you read one of my previous posts, you might have realised that I'm loving orange/coral tones at the moment so I thought I'd share with you my love for MAC Saigon Summer.
It's a Cremesheen finish lipstick and is a beautiful orange shade which has a little bit of gold shimmer to it. If you were to look at it before you applied it, you may think that's a bright pop of orange, however once it's applied it tones down and goes on in a bit of an opaque and sheer way. Therefore it's not overly bold for an orange lipstick and leaves a lovely light burst of orange on your lips.
As it's a Cremesheen, it's moisturising and I find that this shade lasts a longer time than other Cremesheen lipsticks I've tried. All in all, it's quite a winning orange shade!
I really recommend this shade if you're looking for an orange lipstick that won't resemble Cheetos or Orange Soda once applied. I definitely know that I'll be rocking this shade a lot this summer!
Have you got a favourite orange lipstick?

Outrageous Orange Obsession
If only orange lipstick counted as 1 of your 5 fruit and veg a day, I would definitely be hitting my vitamin C requirements!
Sadly it doesn't but it still leaves you with fantastic bold lovable lips.
So I decided to put a few of these lipsticks to the test.
1. Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm
2. MAC Lipstick
3. No7 Stay Perfect Lipstick
1. First up was Revlon's Colorburst Lacquer Balm in Tease.
This one is following the chubby stick lip trend. It's super moisturising, super smooth and delivers a super shine. It goes on pretty easily and even has a minty tang.
It's a strong and bold colour, and the pigmentation is pretty strong. The colour is not my favourite orange shade but I love the actual colorburst product and the finish from it.
2. Mac Lipstick in Morange
From the usual MAC lipstick packaging, this is an amplified crème lipstick. This lipstick goes on really well, it's dreamy creamy! The colour is definitely one that will stand out. It's vivid, bold and fierce. I think it would suit any skin tones and all topped off with a lovely vanilla taste. One little tip is that it's not so moisturising as other lip products out there, so I prefer putting on a little Vaseline before applying this lipstick. Mmm morange!
3. No 7 Stay Perfect Lipstick in Gay Geranium
You start by swivelling up the lipstick and then there's a coral-orange explosion when the lipstick pops up. This colour is vibrant and a bit more pinky than the others. It's from their long lasting range. It certainly lasts but I was a bit disappointed at how dry it made my lips. I found it quite hard to put on as it dried them out straight away. I also found it a little bit hard to apply due to the shape of it, unfortunately this resulted in a little lipstick on the teeth problem. Its durability is good though and who could resist a name like this!
Overall I would definitely say MAC would win the orange lips if you're going all out, the colour is beautiful but for a more subtle tone and daytime orange look Revlon's colorburst definitely ticks the box.
And if all else fails and orange is a no go, you can still use them in place of crayons!
