Best drugstore lipsticks

Today I'm going to share with you which drugstore lipsticks I love the most. Honestly, I only own drugstore lipsticks so I get to choose form my whole collection.

MUA lipstick shade "1" - This lipstick is only £1 and for that reason alone I suggest you check this out. It is one of my favourite lipsticks because it is super long lasting, pigmented and feels like you're not even wearing lipstick. It doesn't transfer much because it is a slightly matte finish and I adore it. The only disappointing thing is that the line as a whole is a bit hit and miss so it really depends what shade you choose.

Makeup Revolution "rebel with cause" - another £1 lipstick that is worth way more. This is not quite as good as the mua one but is still beautiful. It lasts a long time but can be a bit patchy so if you use this I recommend a lip liner and to scrub your lips beforehand.

Rimmel lasting finish "058 drop of sherry" - This is a beautiful lipstick, it is dark pink and shimmery. It goes with most things and eventhough it doesn't have a very long lasting time (despite the name) I don't mind touching up. It doesn't transfer much and has a  metallic finish.

Rimmel Kate "03" - This is a pretty nude lipstick which applies nicely and is long lasting. I honestly got this is poundland which is amazing but they retail for £5.99.

Avon lipstick "In the Buff" - This is a stunning nude shade for pale skin and is my "my lips but better" lipstick. It was literally £2 from the Avon catalogue and I definitely suggest you check it out!

Hope you enjoyed this and it helped! <3

Favourite lipglosses

In this blog post I want to share with you some of m y favourite lip glosses that I recommend you check out.

Tanya Burr's new range - I have the shades "lunch date" and "I found nemo". They have good pigmentation; however they are sticky and don't last for a very long time. I would recommend these if you want pigmentation and don't mind touching up often.

Tanya Burr's old range - I have the shade "smile, dream, sparkle". I don't believe you can get these anymore but they are non-sticky and quite pigmented. It's a shame that Tanya seemed to make the packaging better but the actual product worse.

Bourjois Aqua Laque - I have the shade "06 feeling reddy". These are super pigmented and are completely non-sticky. However I don't think they last very long.

Soap and glory sexy mother pucker - I have the shade "rose and shine". This is a sheer, pinky shade and I enjoy wearing it on it's own or on top of other products. It is plumping and I like how it looks on my lips.

MAC Toledo lip glass - I have the shade "Barbecue". This is a stunning bright orange red colour which lasts for ages. It smells amazing and is very comfortable to wear. I got this as a Christmas present and eventhough I never would've bought it on my own, it is one of my favourite products. I feel like this colour is perfect to wear in any season and I love wearing it. MAC lip glosses are good but the pale shades don't last very long and don't have a good colour payoff.

I hope you enjoyed this and it helped you out! <3

Winter favourites

Winter is over now and instead of just doing my February favourites, I thought I'd do something a bit different and do some of the products I've loved using over the whole if the winter season.

Soap and glory thick and fast mascara - This is a very hyped up mascara. It isn't the best but it is more natural and for when I don't want to wear much makeup it goes well with the look. It doesn't thicken much but it does lengthen and enhance my natural lashes.

Sleek "bad girl 596" eyeshadow palette - This is a smokey eye palette with a variety of shades. You have a range of greys to greens to blues and purples, so you can't really go wrong.

Makeup Revolution ultra pro glow palette - This is a palette with 8 highlighters n and it is such a nice variety. It is made to suit all skin tones. Some of them are too dark for me to use as highlights (they are used as bronzers/blushes ) so they'd be perfect for darker skin tones.

MUA lipstick shade "1" - this is a stunning dark red lipstick, which I think would match most skin tones. It stays on for a really long time and looks as good as when you first apply it. It is a slightly matte finish which I like because it has little transfer. It doesn't feel drying and I could wear it all day without needing a touch up or lipbalm.

Avon colourtrend lipstick "gold potion" - This is a subtle gold lipstick with shimmer. On a no makeup makeup day I wear this for a unique touch. You can also layer it on top of other products for a metallic effect.

Maybelline super stay lipstick "persistently pink 190" - Firstly this smells like the purple skittles. If that isn't enough to make you want to buy it then just go (joking, please stay lol) It has a matte finish with literally no transfer and it feels very comfortable to wear. This is my all time favourite lipstick and is an amazing colour for winter. I definitely need more shades for the other seasons.

Soap and glory sexy mother pucker "rose and shine" - For when I don't wear much makeup but I want to wear some (can you see the trend) this is nice. It tingles so you know when you are wearing it, but it looks like a clear gloss (slight pink sheen). It also looks lovely on top of other products.
