Summer is all about bright colors and punchy prints, and it seems like every year I get the itch to change up my look with some new summer lipsticks! I stopped by Kroger last weekend as I was picking up groceries and noticed they were having a Beauty Event (save $5 when you spend $15 instantly at checkout! Promotion ends August 7), so I took advantage of the sale and picked up some new lippie colors to try! While actually I picked up 8 different shades, I absolutely fell in love with 4 of them! My choices span a good range of formulas from matte to gloss as well as colors ranging from peach to pink, but you’ll be glad to hear that they’re all at drugstore prices!
4 Pretty Summer Lipsticks:
Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion in ‘Spicy Mauve’
Top: Express Tie-Front Halter (XXS) – (similar, similar)
Bottom: BlankNYC Raw Hem Denim Skirt (24) – on #nsale! (similar)
Earrings: Sugarfix by Baublebar Beaded Hoops in turquoise
Shoes: Vince ‘Alora’ Mule Heels (similar)

Maybelline Color Sensational Shine Compulsion in ‘Spicy Mauve’
This lipstick is definitely my most favorite and one I just couldn’t wait to share! I love that the formula is incredibly moisturizing and just one swipe gives you pigmented lips with just a bit of shine. If you’ve ever tried the YSL Volupte Oil-in-Shine lipsticks (one of my faves but definitely a splurge), then this is very similar! My lips have a tendency to get chapped easily but this one actually hydrates and is comfortable to wear all day (plus I find that it leaves a hint of a stain even after its worn off that gives a really youthful flushed look). The spicy mauve shade is one that is “my lips but better” and wearable for everyday whether it’s to the office or just out running errands! Colors range from the lightest nudes to rich chocolates and even vibrant reds — I will probably be going back for a few more!
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid Lip in Nude Thrill
Top: Wayf ‘Posie’ Camisole (XS) – (similar)
Bottom: Express Distressed Cutoff Shorts (00 / size down) – on sale!
Earrings: Baublebar ‘Mikala’ (similar, similar)
Shoes: Vionic Perforated Slip-On Sneaker (love!)
Watch: Fitbit ‘Versa’ w/ metal strap
Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid Lip in Nude Thrill
I’ve been loving liquid lipsticks lately as well and have been looking for formulas that aren’t too drying on my lips yet can last through a good several hours. I picked up two of these Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lip Colors (in Nude Thrill and Nude Flush) and while both are really nice, my pick goes to Nude Thrill. I love that the Nude Thrill does have more beige tones in it but does have a hint of pretty pink (I personally find that colors that are too nude make me look dead! 😆). This lipstick is perfect if I want to go for a youthful “girl next door” look.
The formula glides on super smooth (I actually applied 2 coats to get the opaque finish that I wanted), and I actually found that it doesn’t dry down to be completely matte like most other liquid lipsticks that I’ve tried. For the same reason, it also doesn’t flakes that I may have if my lips are dry and come in 20 different color options!
Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor in Embrace
Top: SheIn Tie-Back Kimono Sleeve Blouse (S) – (similar, similar)
Bottom: Express Destroyed Shorts (00 / size down)
Belt: Gucci Double G 1.5″ in 70
Shoes: Dolce Vita ‘Shae’ Espadrilles
Watch: Fitbit ‘Versa’ w/ metal strap
Earrings: Baublebar ‘Tierra’ Flower Drops
Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor in Embrace
This lipstick ended up applying more much more pink that how it showed in the tube, but it’s beautiful for those times when I want something more vibrant and girly! The formula is creamy and doesn’t dry too quickly, which I prefer as it gives me a bit of time to fix any mistakes. Again, I didn’t find the finished look overly matte or bonus points for not drying out my lips either. This is another lip color that will give you that stained look (more so than the Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick above) and will last you for hours!
Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach
Top: SheIn One Shoulder Dot Ruffle Top (XS) – (similar)
Bottom: Rag & Bone High-Waisted Skinny Jeans (24) – on #nsale! (similar under $90)
Belt: Gucci Double G 1.5″ in 70
Shoes: Vince Camuto ‘Ankia’ (5.5)
Watch: Fitbit ‘Versa’ w/ metal strap
Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss in Pango Peach
Adrian loves the look of a shiny lip gloss so of course I had to pick one up to wear on our date nights! This Pango Peach is a great pinky-peach option and so perfect for those breezy summer looks. The formula isn’t too sticky and definitely gives you that wet gloss look with hints of light-reflecting flecks. The color is semi-sheer but can be built-up with a few layers for a more opaque look (I’m wearing 3 coats here). While the gloss doesn’t last more than a couple hours for me (about average when it comes to lipglosses, honestly), I just love the subtle shimmer that’s in this shade and the color is so perfect for summer!
