Brand: Napoleon Perdis
Range: Luminous Lip Veils
Shade: Melon Mania
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• Melon Mania is a sheer peach gloss that can be worn alone or on top of peach/coral lipstick.
• With Napoleon Perdis lipglosses, when they say its enriched with Aloe Vera for hydration, they really mean it. My lips stayed hydrated for up to 3 hours in the office, even after the gloss wore off.
• Lychee flavour with subtle shimmers.
• Non-sticky, but it can feel heavy on lips if you get carried away with applying – a little goes a long way.
• Verdict: There’s 20 lychee-flavoured shades to choose from, costs $25 AUD and has long lasting hydration. What are you waiting for?

My favourite wand for lipglosses is actually these slim-brush ones. It’s gives the most precise application for sheer glosses.

I applied a decent amount for a swatch, but it feels a bit heavy with this much gloss on. This gloss really enhances your pout~

I love these digital swatches from Napoleon Perdis!!

Brand: Clarins
Range: Joli Rouge Perfect Shine Sheer Lipstick (also known as Joli Rouge Brilliant)
Shade: Sorbet #10
Swatched by yours truly: akisa

• ‘Sorbet’ is the newest addition to the range, just in time for summer in the southern hemisphere!
• A sheer pink, high sheen & shimmery lipstick that is a lighter alternative to the traditional lipstick.
• Hydrating & looks best when directly on lips (without balm). If you feel like wearing balm before hand, use a lighter one or let it absorb before applying.
• Verdict: A light glossy lipstick that gives a youthful look, ideal for Spring and Summer.
• If you prefer something less shimmery, try “Pink Sugar” from the same range.
