Lips Lovin...Orange?

Orange is a huge color for spring/summer this year, but it can be a little intimidating especially as a bold lip color. At first I thought I would just pass and stick to bright pinks but there are some great alternatives to the matte orange's you're seeing straight off the runway or in the magazines. If you're not too sure about this trend I would definitely recommend to try it in a lip gloss! That way you can get the best of both worlds by getting to try the color trend, but it's toned down and a little more doable because it's in a gloss. It can be tricky however to find a good gloss that gives off enough color pay off but I found such a good one below!

1. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef (SPF 15)

Amazing color pay off! Not sticky, goes on smooth, great texture, super creamy and I just love it! I bought mine at CVS and it was $8.99, but revlon is always on sale at the drugstore buy one get one half off so look out for that and for manufactures coupons online and in your sunday adds! 

2. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick (Creme) in Coral-Berry 674

Compared to the lipgloss and the color orange (see pictures below), there is definitely more of a "berry" base to this color which I like and think is what makes it more wearable. However, don't let that fool you, if you don't want to be noticed then I wouldn't go out wearing this because it's an eye catcher for sure! I really like it though, it's so different for me but so fun for summer! I would keep your makeup simple to really make this pop, but there's no rules in makeup so you can so all out and do another pop of color on the eyes too. 

This lipstick was $5.94 when I bought it at Walmart but again, Revlon products are available at all drugstores and almost always on sale!
