Watermelon Lipstick Forever Living

For all of you who keep up with my blog will know that I recently tried the Guava lipstick by Forever Living. If you missed it you can read it here. I got my eye on the watermelon shade and was curious. I do love a red lip but I have found that it has to be pretty much 'Postbox Red' to suit me. However, the watermelon shade is quite obviously a shade of watermelon. A red with a little undertone of orange almost.

The Guava lipstick is from the same range and they both have a glossy texture when applied. The bullets come in metallic purple with the logo printed in matte white. I am a freak for packaging and I love these!

The other thing I love about them is they have a little window in the lid so you can see the colour them too. I really do like it when companies make an effort with original packaging.

I think it can even be dressed down. I wore it with a plain grey tee and skinny jeans.

I was really shocked that this shade suited me so well. I love summer shades and really love coral lipsticks but can't usually pull them off. I think this colour would be perfect for a little summer holiday.

This shade is called Watermelon and you can check it out over on the Forever Living Website.

What do you guys think about this shade? I'd love to hear in the comments...

Guava Lipstick Forvever Living

So I'm not one to wear lip colour as much as I should, but felt like a lip colour review was much needed on my little blog! I recently tried the Forever Living Guava Lipstick....

This range of lipsticks from forever living are beautifully packaged! The lipstick bullets are a sumptuous deep purple with sort of reflective finish and the logo printed on to them. The touch I like about them is that you can see the colour through the lid because they have a little window. I thought this was a great idea if you're carrying a few colours, you're raking round in your handbag and need to find it quickly... I am forever forraging round in my bag!

I wasn't sure how this colour would look on me as I usually do favour a red lip (when I do actually wear a lip colour.) It's always nice to be pleasantly surprised with cosmetics, and with this, I most certainly was.

The texture is glossy but without being a gloss... The longer you wear it, obviously the gloss does wear but that texture can be added back when re applying. The colour is a gorgeous almost, dusty pink. I do love lighter colours, but with my skin tone I wasn't sure if it would wash me out or bring out the colour in my face. I actually loved it when I wore it! It is subtle but enough to suggest that you're into your cosmetics. The colour really made my eyes pop. I wore it for the 1st time to go and meet a friend (amazing artist called Sharron Bates.) We spent the day mooching galleries and doing research or her very own children's book she is working on!

Anyway, back on task... I really do recommend this shade to redheads! I wore with a crisp, white shirt, navy skinny jeans & a 3 quarter length lime green cardigan. I do think the lime and pink complimented each other too.
