It's that time of the day again where I listen to music and do some blogging for you guys.
Today I have lined up my 5 favourite drugstore lipsticks/lip products. I figured I would do this as a little series , so keep your eyes peeled for more!
1- Makeup Revolution Salvation Velvet Lip Lacquers in 'Depravity' and 'Black Heart'
SO, these aren't exactly lipsticks, but they are in on the new trend of 'liquid lipsticks'. I got these around 5 months ago, and they're just fabulous. For the cheap price you pay for Makeup Revolution, these little beauties are 100% worth every penny! I would consider them as a little bit of a dupe for the Jeffrey Star liquid lipsticks, as they have a similar consistency and staying power. Once these are on your lips, they won't budge. This makes them perfect for days where you don't have the time to keep topping up your lippy. PLUS if that wasn't enough, they can also be used as a very alternative and pretty eyeliner.
I have loved this line of lipsticks ever since they launched. I do own the whole collection, but this beautiful autumnal shade is my favourite of the lot. Zoella often wears this too, it's a little hidden gem in the Rimmel makeup stands. If you're looking for a cheap and cheerful lipstick in the classic berry red, then look no further than this little beauty! Not only is it pretty to look at, but it also has great staying power and doesn't dry out your lips. If this was in disguise - you would expect it to be a high-end lipstick with the quality it has.
3- Makeup Revolution Atomic Lipstick in 'Serpent'
Are you noticing a pattern here? Makeup Revolution is up there with the best drugstore brands, despite it's very low prices! Their lipsticks are only £1 a pop, and come in a whole assortment of colours! From my favourite deep green (ALSO a much cheaper dupe for Lime Crime's 'Serpentine') to a bright yellow lipstick, they really have it all. I'd say that they're like a cheaper younger sister of Illamasqua. This lipstick is certainly not for the faint hearted, but I LOVE this little treasure.
4- Collection Cream Puff in 'Fairy Cake'
Again, I have loved these little pretties since they launched, my favourites being the two pink shades ('fairy cake' and 'cotton candy') . They have fabulous staying power, and can last on your lips for a long time considering the ultra cheap price! You could miss out on your morning coffee for this little gem.
The only downside for me to these is the scent. Many people love it, but for me it smells too sickly sweet and it puts me off. Smells aside, this is a little bargain worth buying.
5- Revlon Matte Balm in 'Shameless' and 'Elusive'
Last but certainly not least, is these little pencils of fabness! I can't seem to capture the true beauty of Shameless on my camera, as it is showng as a deep purple, when it is really a very bright and vibrant purple shade. Anyway, these two little chubby sticks are some of my all time favourite lip products, as they are easy to apply, have great consistency and pigmentation and also last a long time on the lips. Revlon is at the higher end of the drugstore brands, but splashing out £8 on one of these is totally worth it. They smell of mint too, leaving a very refreshing feel to your pout.
Swatches-
L-R; Makeup Rev 'Black Heart' and 'Depravity', Revlon 'Elusive' and 'Shameless', Collection 'fairy cake', Makeup Rev 'Serpent', Rimmel '107'.
SO, that's all for today my lovely readers, I hope that you have enjoyed the first in my mini series, I will try my best to post one of these every Monday for you guys. Next week will be my favourite High End lipsticks (I'll try my best not to keep it all MAC!) for all of you people wanting to splurge on a more luxe lipstick.
I hope you've all had a lovely Monday, and I shall see you all tomorrow.
Lots of Love and sparkles,
Yasmin xx
