When a new season rolls around, I get so excited to find new lipsticks and to start wearing my seasonal favorites. I have a few higher end lip products, but for the most part, I prefer to buy from the drugstore because they are so much more affordable (I’d rather spend my money on clothes. Who’s with me?! 😉 ). Below are my picks for the best drugstore lipsticks for spring and summer:
~Maybelline Color Sensational The Buffs: Nude Lust~
Being so fair skinned, I have a difficult time finding nude lipstick that doesn’t wash me out. I love that this shade has a gorgeous pinky-brown tint to it while still being nude. It looks so great with a smokey eye!
~NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream: Istanbul~
This is my first NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream and let me tell you, I am hooked! (Thanks Shanna for the recommendation!) This color is very close to my natural lip color and has been my go-to lately. I have really dry lips and sometimes matte colors can be even more drying on my lips but not this one! The color is going to be so perfect year-round!
~Maybelline Color Sensational Rebel Bloom: Power Peony~
I have been on the hunt for a pinky-purple shade for spring and hallelujah I have found it! This color screams spring and summer.
~Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Balm Stain: Cherish~
I have five colors of the Revlon Color Stay Just Bitten Balm Stain collection (the color “honey” is my all time favorite), but each spring and summer, I find myself reaching for the color “cherish”. It’s a really pretty light pink color. This is the color I wish my lips were naturally.
~Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids: Shocking Coral~
This color is a family favorite…my mom, my sister, and I all have it 🙂 It’s the perfect spring/summer alternative to all the bold reds you see during fall and winter.
Lipstick looks fab on you…I wish I could say the same for me lol. I especially love that bright pink!
Thank you! After taking so many pictures of my lips, I was starting to be like “Ugh! I have my lips!” lol
We must have the same taste in lippies…I have all of those except the last one. I wear the Power Peony almost every day. I agree with Tara, lip color looks gorgeous on you!

You must have great taste in lipstick 😉 lol. I’ve always loved your lip color in your post so I’m glad that I have the same lip color now 🙂
Ooh I love the last one! Need to try!

It is such a pretty color! My mom is on her second tube of it now because she wears it so much.
These are all beautiful on you! I love the Revlon balm stains, and I’m going to try that lip liner now!

It’s so difficult picking out lipsticks! When I look at them in the store, all the colors start to blur together and look the same. lol.
I’ve been wanting to try the rebel bloom lip glosses! That purple looks gorgeous on you!

All the colors in the collection are so pretty! I want more!
Love all of these shades. I have a serious obsession with my lip crayon’s. I thought I had just about every color, but I think I’ll have to stop by Walgreens for more of these pretty pinks! XO

The Revlon lip crayons were my first major lip addiction. I was telling everyone about them…my mom, sister, best friends, aunts, basically everyone I talked too. lol
I knew we were friends for a reason…I own a version of every single one of these brand versions. One of my all time faves is the NYX Matte Colors. They stay on FOREVER!! I am so trying the nude color too. Thank you so much for sharing…off to the drugstore I go! Pinning this too, BTW! 🙂
Friends who wear the same lipstick, stick together 😉 I am so glad you told me about the NYX matte colors. LOVE THEM! I only have the one color but I want more! They’re amazing! I remember at LuckyFabb you wore the gorgeous red color from them…I think I need that one 🙂
adore the shocking coral lip color! also on the same page today in our posts haha!

Cute post kacie! I love bright lips. I think the last shade is my favorite. I’ve been using my NYX butter glosses non stop lately for a hit of fun color!
These are all so gorgeous on you! I love matte lipsticks, so I now really want to try that Nyx lip cream!

I can only imagine your mouth would have been hurting, it’s a workout. I love the Coral color, so pretty! That is something my mom and I would both wear too!

Great post!! I am going to pin it for reference. I know we can’t try on lipstick before we buy it but so wish we could. I bought three tubes recently in different colors and they all disappear on my lips within a few hours. Going to take you post shopping with me next time. Thank you.
