3 Moisturising Lipsticks
I love me a good lip product that adds moisture as well as colour. Lucky for me, there’s currently a trend for moisturizing lip stains and I have three favourites to recommend to you. Common for all three products is that they are quite sheer, so you only get a faint wash of the colour on your lips, as opposed to the bright vibrancy of the colour in the bullet.
Remember to try the colour on the inside of your hand before purchasing — your skin colour here more closely resembles your lips’ colour than that on the back of you hand.
Here are my three suggestions:
{1} Chanel Rouge Coco Shine — Having been on the market for several years, this hydrating colour lip shine contains hydrantendre complex, which softens and plumps lips. The formual is very sheer and moisturising and feels great on the lips. It’s available in an incredible 30 colours, so I challenge you not to find a colour or two that suit you. Personally, I love this lipstick, but its soapy floral scent is slightly too intense for me. Still, I’ve used my two colours a lot: 55 Romance (a pale pink) and 467 Pygmalion (a discontinued pale orange-y pink — 497 Trepide looks similar).
If you live in Norway, check out Chanel’s products in Kicks stores — they are not available online.
{2} Lancome Shine Lover — Most recently launched, this is a very moisturising, glossy lipstick infused with hyaluronic acid and rose de muscat oil. Supposedly, the products has “the ease of a balm, the attitude of a lipstick” and that sounds good to me. It is available in 14 pretty colours and comes in a pretty white and silver art deco tube. The lipstick has a faint and pleasant floral scent. I was in the market for a light and bright pink and 334 Insta-Rose hit the spot perfectly. I think I need to go back and check out 373 Palpitante, though…
In Norway, you can buy Lancome Shine Lover at Kicks, my favourite makeup store. If you become a member you get 15 % off your orders all summer, and avoid paying shipping by picking up in your nearest store.
{3} Clinique Pop Lip Colour + Primer — This product launched earlier this spring and is available in 16 pretty colours, all demi-matte. The moisturising formula feels incredibly soft on your lips and makes you want to reapply again and again! The product is unscented, which I really like, and comes in a cool square tube in silver and the colour of the lipstick. How cool is that! You can actually tell them apart if you get more than one. No more marking your tubes with stickers, like I do with my Chanels… I wanted the perfect nude lipstick and 01 Nude Pop was an excellent choice.
