Hello! It’s Steph of fun size beauty guesting on Megan Joy. This month’s guest post theme is “Transitioning into spring” and for that reason…Lipsticks are always in season. It’s more a matter of switching up formulas and colours. So, I picked 5 of my current favourites out of my monstrous stash to share with you! From most to least sheer…
Left to Right: Tata Harper Be Adored Lip Treatment; Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker in Fuchsia-ristic; The Body Shop Colour Crush Shine in Sunset Romance; Annabelle Twist Up Lipstick in Bubble; Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in CR0
The Tata Harper Be Adored Lip Treatment is a newer addition to the lip product stash. Tata Harper is a luxe eco-chic brand that formulates products with 100% natural ingredients. In a nutshell, the Be Adored lip treatment is a fuss-free sheer red balm. This one’s perfect for lazy, no-makeup days, as it requires no mirror.
Glossy lips without the mess that is hair on my lips is a dream come true with the Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Crayon in Fuchsia-ristic. It’s fairly sheer but the bright pink-orange tinge brightens up the face.
The Body Shop Colour Crush Shine Lipstick in Sunset Romance is only the slightest bit more pigmented than the Soap and Glory Gloss Crayon and a tad deeper in colour. Medium pigmentation with hydration benefits is always a plus!
The Annabelle Twist Up Lipstick in Bubble is an oldie but goodie. This Twist Up is much more on the traditional side of lipsticks. It has a more matte finish than the others, which makes the vibrant pink stand out, especially on tanned skin.
The Shu Uemura Tint in Gelato in CR01 has a strange texture. It’s moussey, lightweight, and a crazy pigmented one-swipe-wonder. The Tint in Gelato provides a full-coverage colour lip with a little sheen. Bonus points for being dual-purpose, you can use this guy on your cheeks as well!

A constant with a majority of these lip products is the colour – sheer, warm pinks with a shot of orange (aka “coral”??). I guess that’s just what I’ve been into lately.
Do you change up your lip products as the seasons change?

I am liking the look and sound of that Shu Uemura tint! The strange texture sounds inviting!

Oooh the swatches look so pretty, going from sheer to opaque. Nice touch! I may have to check out that soap and glory gloss crayon.
Great post!
