Pretty in Pink - favorite spring lipsticks

Getting in touch with my girly side this spring

I am not really a believer in seasonal colors. I'll wear burgundy lip in a middle of summer if I feel like it and rock a coral lip in a dead of winter if it suits my fancy.  But sometimes the weather makes you feel like wearing a certain color, and after this long and bloody cold winter the sun is finally out and I am feeling a bit of pink. And not just any pink but this soft almost bright but not quite wash of color, like sakura (cherry blossom) petals.
The colors are soft and girly (yeah, I know it is out of character but I can be girly ...in theory) and they give life to my face and also one thing they all have in common is that they are super comfortable to wear. Now onto lippies (Missha Cushion and Clinique blush are in the photograph for the pretty).

Peripera Ink Velvet Airy in No.5 Elf Light Rose, Laneige Two Tone Lip Tint Bar in No.3 Tint Mint, Mamonde Oil Shine Stick in No.9 Nude Rose and Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Sheer in Brat

Peripera Ink Velvet Airy in No.5 Elf Light Rose - the only matt formula in the bunch. It is a beautiful warm pink that goes feather light on the lips and feels like nothing but boy does it last. I am telling you this sucker does not budge. 

Laneige Two Tone Lip Tint Bar in No.3 Tint Mint - apparently a super popular colour in Korea. The balm side of the two tone lip bar is very moisturizing and nourishing which makes this one comfortable lip product. Although the colour looks really bright in the swatch it diffuses on lips into this beautiful soft petal pink. It is not overtly shiny or balmy and it is not sticky at all. It just makes lips feel great and look beautiful.

Mamonde Oil Shine Stick in No.9 Nude Rose  - Despite the name this does not feel oily nor is it particularly shiny. It is actually quite pigmented and super comfortable on lips. Colour is very nice natural pink that leans slightly warm on me. Despite being moisturizing it is rather long wearing unless you are eating or drinking. This feels and looks great on the lips. I am impressed with the formula. 

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Sheer in Brat - surprisingly the shiniest and sheerest of all and the only cool toned pink in the bunch. Formula is sheer but it is also very comfortable to wear. It gives the right amount of shine to lips making them look healthy and moist and not greasy. 


Swatches 
This would be my lipstick wardrobe for this spring.  Almost all of them are great bag lipsticks as they are easy to apply, even without the mirror.
