It is officially summer and I am all for it. I love the dry weather it just makes life so much easier up here in the highland where we see a lot of rain and wind. But it can do havoc with my skin. So we are going to chat about the best summer lip kit. This is part of a little mini-series I am going to do of my favourite beauty products.
Let's actually start with my favourite lip kit Because well why not.
Is a media sensation splashed all over TikTok and Instagram?
The kit contains
In the Nude Lip Liner
Stripped Lipstick
Pretty Please Lip Gloss
So I am a hard cookie to please with lip products. Not many people know but I am a qualified make-up artist. I haven't worked in a few years but I do still know my stuff. I spend a lot of time outside and this can give me dry lips so I want any lip product to be pretty special. I need it to not cling to the dry area and also let's face it looks good.
First up
In the nude lip liner.
This is a cocoa brown colour and when I saw it I was a bit worried it wouldn't work with my skin tone. But I am actually in love with the way this liner looks. It applies like a dream. It is a creamy but easy-to-apply formula. It gives a nice medium line. Love it.
Next, we have
The Stripped lipstick. As soon as I saw this I knew I would love it. It is my colour. Stripped is part of the Icon collection of lipsticks. It has a nice satin finish which glides on the lip. It is super long-lasting and feels really hydrating on the lip. It seems to have magic powers as it doesn't cling to the fine lines of the lip it is just silky smooth. It leaves the lips really smooth and moisturised.
Lastly, we have
Pretty please lip glossThis is again in the Icon collection. It is a high shine formula and by god the pigments are incredible. It is pink with an underlying pinky blue purple haze. The colour is just divine.
I mean look at my lips in the photo. It is so glossy and just looks delicious. It applies like a dream just glides on. It is so smoothing and again super hydrating. It just adds that oomph to your look. But I bet you are thinking that has to feel gloopy not it is a light and natural feeling. In fact, I have never had such a light high impact gloss. It is super long-lasting too. You can wear it on its own as it is really nicely pigmented on its own.
Consultation
I have been wearing this as my go-to since it arrived in my mailbox, That alone should speak volumes. I love the kit. I sometimes wear stripped on its own and I wear Pretty please as a nice gloss or a subtle sheen. it all depends on how much you put on. I am really impressed with this lip kit and I now have my eye set on another couple of lip products to try from Rinna beauty.
