Lipstick Loves

If you haven't already guessed I have a slight obsession with lipstick so I thought it was about time I did a blog post on my favourites. I had planned to do my top five but it was impossible to pick just five so I limited myself to ten and even that was hard!

First up is probably my most worn colour as it seems to go with everything. Its from Seventeen' Stay Pout range which is available in Boots costing only £4.49. This lipstick is in the shade Rule Breaker.

As you can see from the swatch it's a lovely raspberry colour. It is both a pink and a red so it goes with everything. The staying power of this lipstick is so good and the pigment is fantastic.

 This is definitely in my top three, and also in my monthly favourites this month which you can read here. This is Mystic from Sleek which you can purchase in Boots and Superdrug for £4.99

Sleek lipsticks come in a range of matte and sheen finishes. Mystic is a matte colour and I think that's why I love it so much. As you can see it is the most amazing colour. It doesn't dry the lips out and lasts a lifetime. When it does eventually wear off it doesn't wear off all patchy which is great. I'm nearly finished this lipstick and have already bought a replacement I love it that much.

These Revlon Colorburst lipsticks are amazing. They have a matte and sheen in each colour and obviously I picked the matte ones over the sheen. They have great staying power and are really hydrating. They also have a nice minty smell which is nice when applying it. This is in the colour Shameless. they are £7.99 and are available in Boots. 

As you can see this is quite a vivid purple and I was so wary of trying it when I first seen it but I finally bit the bullet and give it a go. I team this with a dark berry lip liner all over the lip and it makes a lovely dark purple colour. The only thing I will say about this is that because it's a darker colour it wears off badly. Its almost like I've been on a red wine bender which is never a good look!

This is also a Revlon Colorburst lipstick in the matte finish and it's in the shade Elusive. This is about as natural a lip as I'm ever going to get as I love coloured lipsticks.

As you can see from the swatch it's a lovely rosey pink colour, I've seen it described as 'your lips just a better shade' which is the perfect description for it. It's a lovely colour on, it's a nude without the foundation lips look.

This is definitely high up there in my favourites list. Everyone needs a statement red lipstick in their collection and this is mine. It's from the Kate Moss Rimmel collection and surprise surprise it's a matte finish. This is a steal at £5.49.

I had been looking for this colour for so long but could never find the right shade and also in a matte finish so when I came across this I was a happy bunny. This is the perfect red to make a statement with. It has a fantastic staying power but the only downside to it is that it has quite a grainy feel when applying it although it doesn't feel grainy on your lips.  I can deal with the graininess to have this amazing colour. One I will definitely be repurchasing when it runs out. 

Shock horror it's not a matte lipstick! This is Maybelline Color Sensational lipstick in the shade Hot Plum and it's £6.99.

As you can see it is a vivid pink with a purpley base. I have a few of these colours from this range and every one of them is highly pigmented. They are so creamy and they go on really nice. They also smell amazing, it kind of reminds me of play doh. I would definitely recommend trying some of these colours. You will need to re-apply during the day but they do stain your lips slightly so after wearing off you still have a slight colour in your lips.

This is Mac Cyber, its a satin finish. It costs £15.50. This wouldn't be an everyday lipstick and definitely wouldnt be to everyone's taste. 

This is a very dark purple. I had wanted this for so long and after getting money for Christmas I decided to treat myself. I was so excited when I seen the postman delivering this I couldn't wait to get wearing it. The first time I wore it I was so disappointed, it had no staying power and wore off badly! So the next time I wore it I coloured my whole lips with lip liner first and that made such a difference! It's definitely a colour you would wear with subtle eye makeup but when it's on its so nice.

This is one of my newer purchases but I fell in love with it as soon as I swatched it at the Mac counter in Debenhams. This is also a satin finish and it's called Pink Nouveau.

This is a mid toned pink that is very wearable. It's quite a bold colour but not so bold that its like "look at me over here with my pink lipstick on". The satin finishes are so nice as they are really creamy and are quite matte with a hint of gloss. When buying this I was told that this one of Mac's bestsellers and I'm not in the least surprised. It is the kind of colour anyone could wear whether dark or fair skinned, definitely a must have for any of you lipstick fans out there.

This is one of the most amazing cosmetics companies out there. Lime Crime is the company you need if you are looking lip colours that are different than the rest. You can get this from Cocktail Cosmetics for £12.50 it's in the shade Airborne Unicorn. The packaging is amazing and you will always find it at the bottom of your handbag. Plus there's a unicorn on the packaging; everyone needs unicorns in their life!

This is the creamiest lipstick I own and its super pigmented as you can see. I always wear this as an ombre lip teamed with a dark purple lip liner and it's my go to lip colour nearly every time I'm going out. I want a couple more of the colours from this brand as they are such good quality, I may add them to my ever expanding wish list!

Last but not least is not one for the faint hearted. It's also from Lime Crime and it's a liquid lipstick. It's in the shade Red Velvet and is also available from Cocktail Cosmetics for £13.50.

This is super pigmented and it takes a few goes to perfect. Its goes on as a liquid and dries to a matte finish. They say not to use a primer or to line your lips but I do both. As this is so matte its quite drying on the lips if you have not used primer or lip balm on them before hand and you definitely need to line the lips so they will have definition. I have this and the pink velvet and they are amazing. I'm dying to get my hands on Utopia, Pansy and Cashmere so I might have to make a wee order with Lime Crime soon.

So there you have it for my ten favourite lipsticks, they are not in any order as that's asking the impossible. I would love to hear everyones must haves when it comes to lipsticks; it might give me a few to add to my list of wants!
