MY FAVOURITE DRUGSTORE LIPSTICKS.

MY FAVOURITE DRUGSTORE LIPSTICKS

RIMMEL LASTING FINISH - KATE MOSS - 03 - £5.49
This has to be my favourite nude lipstick when it comes to snapping up a cheap one. 03 is a nude/pink on me which is the perfect shade for my NC30 skin tone as it doesn't wash me out. I would say to swatch before you buy though as it does look a little more orange toned on my friends lips, but she is fair skinned. This lipstick leaves your lips feeling super hydrated throughout the day.

TOPSHOP LIPS IN PEACH SUNDAE - £8.00
The most gorgeous peach coloured lipstick when shopping for a cheap one I wear this lipstick every night when I'm on holiday. Now I'm not too sure if this colour has discontinued as I couldn't find it online, but there is a very similar colour called 'Ohh La La' which is within the link. Peach Sundae glides on the lips like a dream! I really like Topshop for lipsticks and guess what? They often get compared to the MAC lipsticks. 

NO.7 STAY PERFECT LIPSTICK - 15 GAY GERANIUM - £9.75
I was debating on purchasing MAC Morange, but it looks a little 'out there'. So then I was on the hunt for the perfect orange/red lipstick. That's when I came across this little tube of fairies! I haven't stopped wearing this lipstick. It has a satin matte finish and lasts so long on the lips!

RIMMEL LASTING FINISH - KATE MOSS - 110 - £5.49
I'd say I wear this lipstick the most out of all the red lipsticks that I own. The colour is just b-e-a-utifuuuuuuul (yes that was my inner Jim Carrey shining through). The only thing I could fault with this lipstick is that it is a matte - matte finish. So if you continually top up the lipstick it can look a little clumpy. The best thing to do is just wipe off any excess and then re-apply. I always get compliments when I wear this lipstick.

TOPSHOP LIPS IN RIO RIO - £8.00
Looking for the perfect bright red lip with orange undertones? Look no further, lips in Rio Rio is to die for! This lipstick is the perfect shade for a retro/vintage make up look and it has a satin matte finish. So a little more moisturising than your standard matte lippies.

MUA - SHADE 1 - £1.00
Like your lips to look a little on the vampy side without it looking too much? This shade is perfect! Now I'm not one that can pull off the dark purples lips etc. Least I don't think I can. This one is just enough for those who are just daring to go onto the darker side of lipsticks.

So there we have it, my favourite high street/drug store lipsticks. It was quite hard to narrow it down as you want to include them all don't you? But I had to go with theses as I wear these 6 lipsticks the most out of them all. Well I hope you enjoyed that one! I absolutely love reading these kind of posts although they usually send me on a buying spree... shock! What's your favourite drugstore lipstick?

Lips In Rio Rio


I've been loving Topshop and their beauty range so much recently. I picked up this lipstick in Rio Rio, which is a bright red shade with orange undertones. I should of probably swatched this next to a really red lipstick so you could see the orange undertones in it. As you can see from the swatch above Rio Rio is extremely pigmented. I've always been a little scared to wear orange on my lips, but I always think it looks so nice when I see it on other people. This is probably the safest option though! I can imagine this lipstick to suit most skin tones as the orange in the lipstick really brightens up the whole face. 

Rio Rio is a satin matte finish, I found this lipstick more moisturising than most matte lipsticks. So it glided onto the lips just lovely with no pulling. I haven't had any dryness or flakey lips like I usually get with a matte finish. the staying power lasted a few hours and after transfer it did leave a nice stain to my lips. The swatch that was done for this post must of been on my arm for about 8-10 minutes and it stained right away. This lipstick was only £8.00 and it was well worth purchasing. I'd say they are quite comparable to your higher end lipsticks like I mentioned in my previous post about Lips In Peach Sundae. There's a lot of people that say they are on par with MAC lipsticks, but there's obviously not as much colour choice. 


Have you tried any of the Topshop lipsticks?
Which one do you like if so?
