My top 5 drugstore lipsticks

For my first beauty inspired post I thought I'd stay faithful to my beloved lipstick obsession and share with you my favourite lipsticks from the drugstore. 




Revlon Lip butter in the shade Raspberry Pie

Maybelline Superstay 14hr Lipstick in the shade Ultimate Blush
Rimmel lasting finish matte lipstick in the shade 107 Wine
MUA lipstick in the shade 2
Revlon Super lustrous lipstick in the shade Cherries in the Snow

Revlon Lip butter in the shade Raspberry Pie

Although Raspberry Pie is a gorgeous berry shade, it's quite a bright fuchsia pink and this combined with the buttery, smooth consistency means it's one you can sport all year round. I do find that applying a lip balm before hand, makes the application even smoother, and the colour even more intense. After hearing so many beauty bloggers rave about these things, I had to try it for myself, and I can officially say I am on the Revlon Lip butter bandwagon.


Maybelline Superstay 14hr Lipstick in the shade Ultimate Blush

This was my go-to liptsick last summer. Not only is the colour a lovely pink-toned coral, but when Maybelline says it lasts 14 hours, they're not joking, the lasting power of these lipsticks is ah-mazing (bonus) and because they're from the drugstore they're super affordable (double bonus). With over 10 different shades to choose from, the colour range is great too.


Rimmel lasting finish matte lipstick in the shade 107 Wine

When it comes to lipstick, I definitely prefer bolder colours and a matte finish, so this one from Rimmel fits the bill perfectly. The shade 107 Wine is my go-to autumn/winter shade as it's (as the name would suggest) a gorgeous deep winey, berry colour. I also own 111 Kiss of Life, which is a bright red, which I normally pair with a super plain outfit to make it really stand out. I cannot rave about these lipsticks enough, they are definitely my number one favourite drugstore lipsticks.


MUA lipstick in the shade 2

What I love about this lipstick is you can wear it really sheer or build the colour up to a bright pink shade; but what I love even more is the £1 price tag. Yes, you heard me right, they cost a whopping 100 pennies. They apply really smoothly and the have a semi-matte finish. However, I have noticed that when the lipstick fully dries, it settles to a complete matte finish, which as you know, is right up my street. The only thing I would say about these lipsticks is that after a while they can become a bit drying, but for £1 you can hardly complain.


Revlon Super lustrous lipstick in the shade Cherries in the Snow

I love this shade so much, it is a super pretty raspberry red. Although I prefer a matte bold lip, I really love the shiny, glossy finish this lipstick gives. Surprisingly these lipsticks last quite a long time, even if I'm not wearing a lip liner with it.

  2. I really like a couple of the MUA lipstick shades, and the Boots 17 Mirror Shine range (and one of the others that I can't remember the range name!) are really good as well!

  7. The Maybelline looks really pretty and bright. I wish you would've done swatches so we could see what it looks like on the skin. But great post nonetheless. (:
