My Top 4 : Budget Summer Lipsticks

As the weather is finally warming up, I have been enjoying wearing less makeup but adorning a bright lip for an effortless pop of colour that is perfect for this time of year. When the sun is out I like to skip the heavy coverage and opt for a tinted moisturiser before throwing on a vibrant pout, to look effortlessly polished and put together. For today's post I have rooted through my drugstore lipstick collection to find my top 4 choices for a bright, affordable Summer lipstick.

1. Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stain : ‘Rio Rush’ - £7.99

As someone who has always disliked the sticky, uncomfortable feeling of many glosses, these Moisture Stains are the perfect alternative. They create a high-shine, pigmented finish without leaving a tackiness on the lips. The bright colours are perfect for the warmer weather and I especially love ‘Rio Rush’; a bright yet wearable pink. 

The formulation of these stains are also ideal; they are creamy, moisturising and leave an impeccable shine without feeling heavy. An intense colour is left behind that stains your lips even once the shine has faded.

2. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick : ‘Cherries In The Snow’ - £7.49

This shade of the Super Lustrous range is my choice for a sheer finish during the warmer weather. It is one that I am sure most of you will have heard of before and has been a favourite of mine for some time. The shade is a bright, blue-toned pink and is amazingly moisturising, easy to apply and is the perfect finishing touch to a lazy, feminine summer look.

3. Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm : ‘Elusive’ - £7.99

Incase it wasn’t already clear, I am a massive fan of Revlon and find their lip products to be one of the best at the drugstore. For a matte yet moisturising finish I like to opt for their balm in the shade ‘Elusive'; a soft, warm-toned pink. This is ideal for adding a subtle pop of colour to your look and leaves a velvety soft finish. The consistency is creamy and smooth without being sticky or slipping and you can rely on the colour to stay in place in the heat.

4. L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Matte Lipstick : ‘228 VIP’ - £6.99  

My final choice is another matte yet creamy option but this time in a coral shade.  I recently picked this up at my local boots, however I think it is a more recent release and so I couldn't find a link to it online.

As someone who rarely dares to wear an orange-toned lipstick, this was a new venture for me and one that I am definitely glad I tried out. It is the perfect coral with orange, pink and peachy undertones. The colour is buildable and I like to wear it either patted on to my lips for a subtle stain, or smoothed all over for a full, long-wearing pop of colour.

I hope this mini collection of budget summer lip colours helps inspire you on the lipsticks to refresh your collection with this season. I would also love to hear your thoughts as well as the drugstore lip products that you are currently loving down below!
