Forget yellow fever; it’s all things tangerine on my mind. Yep, I have fully immersed myself in the hottest colour this spring, dipping my toes, nails, lips, cheeks and more into the coral pot.
My orange infatuation began as soon as we spotted it on the Proenza Schouler catwalks and reported back to you that coral was the colour for everyone, I kid thee not. Blonds, brunettes, redheads, porcelain or olive can rock a rusty red, out-there orange or cute coral. So sweep your pinks aside, snap up these peachy products and join me as I spring into summer today:
MAC Passions of Red: Devoted Poppy: 3 Coral Lips
This limited edition (from the Passions of Red collection) coral wonder features two MAC Lipsticks in Devoted and Soft Talk and gloss in Transparent Love. The compact itself is red-orange snakeskin-embossed metal with a lavish faux jewel. One word: divine.
Bloom Designer Collection Nail Polish in Bettina I
This beautifully bright peachy coral is gracing the nails of yours truly as I type, and it’s so jaw-droppingly eye-catching that I’ll ask you to forgive any typos – I simply can’t tear my eyes away from the keyboard.
Kit Cosmetics Duo Cheek & Lip Crème in Pretty Cheeky
This newbie compact made it into my clutch on Saturday night thanks to its top tangerine and fuchsia hues. The moisturising creams (they contain jojoba and rosehip oil) give lips and cheeks a glorious dash of coral colour.
Covergirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers in Tangerine Splash
These shiny, sticky-free saviours are a must for any gloss gal out there. Tangerine Splash gives lips a fruity burst of orange but it’s also nice as a glossy eye base.
Cargo Cosmetics Beach Blush in Coral Beach
This tinned bronzing blush features four complementary orangey shades that, when swept together, provide a perfect balance of shimmering coral to cheeks.
So there you have it, my all time orange loves.
Will you be jumping on the coral bandwagon?
