The Summer edit: Drugstore summer lip products

With the warm weather here, my make-up routine has started to change a little. I've tended to turn more to creamier products instead of powder, and want something that looks clean and fresh. I've also been turning towards light pinks and peaches on my lips, which provide a pop of colour and sheen but not too dramatic.

In the summer I don't really tend to go for strong colours on my lips, instead opting for sheer washes of colour to brighten up my day to day look. I'm all for a more natural summer make-up look.

The Rimmel lasting finish Kate Moss lipstick in no.38 is a my lips but better pink/nude colour. It's a great everyday colour, especially for work. It is well pigmented and the colour lasts a good few hours before wearing properly. It has a slight sheen on the lips, so doesn't necessarily need a gloss over the top, which is great.

Maybelline colour sensational in peach poppy (418) is very much a peachy coral colour, as the name suggests. This one is possibly my favourite of the three lipsticks, but I think that is because it screams summer to me. It applies quite sheer, but is a really build able product for more colour. This lipstick applies smoothly and has an almost creamy finish, which feels moisturising. It isn't the most long lasting lipstick, disappearing after a few hours, but if it is applied with a light hand, fades well. This is perfect for everyday wear and just looks like summer in a lipstick. 

Collection lipstick in no.2 Tulip is a great product for the £2.99 price tag attached to it. It is a pastel peach/pink shade with a matte formula, but isn't drying on the lips. Again it is a product that can be built up for a more dramatic look. For a matte formula this product feels really smooth on my lips and wears really well, lasting quite a few hours before needing touching up. 

Rimmel Oh my gloss lip glosses in Stay my rose, Glossaholic and Purrr... glossy cat are my favourite things! These lip glosses have been my go to high-street lip glosses for years, previously called Stay Glossy lip glosses. The formula is great, it feels moisturising on the lips, provides a tint of colour to the lips and wears really well. I really can't rave enough about these lip glosses and I go through far too many to prove it. There is a vast colour range, but these three are my favourite go to products, especially for summer when I just want a quick bit of colour.

Origins original skin renewal serum

Origins is one of my favourite skincare brand, as it seems to suit my skin type and texture as my skin is quite sensitive. I've added the Origins original skin renewal serum into my daily skincare routine, AM and PM, but especially in the morning.

I really like the fact that this is a serum aimed at twenty-something skin, and not age-defying or spot targeting, like many skincare products tend to be. It can be used both in the morning and evening to help de-stress skin, smooth out roughness, delete dullness and minimise pores.

I've used this product for over a month now, and I'd say I'm about half way through the bottle. The product is very light in texture and has an almost gel like consistency. You can't really feel it on the skin as it sinks in in seconds, so it works provides an excellent base for make-up. 

It leaves my skin feeling smooth, hydrated and gives an added boost of radiance. I'm really liking the results it is giving me, so fingers crossed it keeps up to the good work.

The packaging is slim and not bulky, unlike a lot of other skincare products on the market. One pump dispenses the perfect amount to cover my entire face with none to spare.

It doesn't come that cheap at £32 for 30ml, but if it is providing my skin with a healthy glow and keeps my skin as clear as possible I'm all for it.
