Hey everyone!
When I first delved into the world of lipsticks about two years ago I wasn't one to wear them all that often. It's not that I didn't like wearing them, I just sort of forgot about them whenever I was getting ready. However, over the past few months lipstick has become a staple in my make-up routine much like concealer or eyeliner. The thought of going out for a day without any sort of colour on my lips is horrifying. I don't have the biggest collection of lip products, but it is expanding, slowly but surely. It's becoming a struggle to leave Boots or Superdrug without buying a new one. So, today I thought I'd share with you my current collection before it gets too out of hand and I end up with too many to list.
Rimmel London Lasting Finish
Naturally the first lipstick I ever bought was one of the cheapest I could find. I'm always like that when it comes to beauty products. I'm never willing to spend more money than necessary on something I'm completely new to. My first lipstick was Rimmel's Lasting Finish lipstick in the colour 'Heather Shimmer.' I didn't want anything bright and in-your-face and this one fit the bill nicely. As the name states, it's shimmery and despite it being purple it actually has more of a peachy undertone to it when it's on. Being one of the cheapest drugstore lipsticks, I knew that they weren't going to be the best. If I forget to apply lip balm beforehand these dry out my lips very quickly. However, the colour lasts for most of the day and I find them very easy to wear. I currently own four of these - 'Heather Shimmer', 'Heart Breaker' (a deep pink shade), 'Alarm' (a staple red) and 'Sugar Plum' (a shimmery pink/purple colour).
Rimmel London Kate Moss
I only ever hear good things about the Kate Moss lipsticks and I agree with it all. These lipsticks have great staying power and are highly pigmented. The only thing I dislike about these lipsticks is that it doesn't tell you the name of the colour on the product itself but that's just me being picky. I'm pretty sure every lipstick fiend has '107'. It's definitely one of my favourites. I love matte lipsticks and this is no exception with its deep wine colour (I think 'wine' is actually the name of this one). '16' is a pretty pink shade with a slight peachy undertone to it.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick & Lip Butter
I decided to put these two together even though one of them technically isn't a lipstick. I swear the Super Lustrous Lipstick packaging turns me on. It's so chic and gives it a 'higher end' feel to it even though it's high street. I think it's the black and gold that does it. If you haven't already guessed, 'Pink In The Afternoon' is of course pink. The lipstick is moisturising, creamy and very easy to wear. I thought I'd also throw in the lip butter here as I do treat it like a lipstick. These bad boys have the colour pigmentation and staying power of a lipstick but are more of a balmy consistency. I don't know if it's just this particular colour, but I find that this does smudge a little especially when applying it. Other than that I have no complaints!

Rimmel London Moisture Renew
These are hands down my favourite range of lipsticks from Rimmel. As the name states, these are incredibly moisturising. There's something about a lipstick that doesn't require lip balm put on beforehand that excites me (but I do recommend putting it on before anyway no matter how moisturising the lipstick is). 'Vintage Pink' is exactly that - VINTAGE PINK! It's more purple in colour and reminds me of something a Hollywood actress from the 60's would wear. 'Let's Get Naked' is a basic pinky nude colour that anyone could pull off. These lipsticks also smell really good. Am I the only one who cares whether a lipstick smells good or not?

Topshop
It took me AGES to finally get round to trying Topshop's lipsticks and I'm so glad that I finally caved and made the purchase. They are fab! The colour pigmentation and staying power is on point and they're fairly moisturising and creamy. 'Macaroon' is a pretty pink shade that is quite similar to the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in number 16. The only criticism I have for these lipsticks are that they do tend to cling onto any dry patches on your lips so I try to avoid wearing this one if my lips are having a bad day.
Maybelline Colour Sensational
These are by far my favourite brand of lipsticks. The staying power of these are incredible as is the colour pigmentation. I am currently OBSESSED with 'Hollywood Red.' I like to think of it as more of a grown up red lipstick and like the 'Vintage Pink' Moisture Renew lipstick, it reminds me of old Hollywood. 'Coral Tonic' is a much brighter colour with orange undertones. These lipsticks legitimately last all day and you don't need to reapply after eating/drinking even though I have a bad habit of doing so anyway. Oh, and they smell like vanilla which is a plus.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I'd love it if you commented down below telling me about any of your favourite lipsticks! I'm always on the lookout for new ones. Also, if you'd like to see any other parts of my make-up collection then let me know!
Until next time,
