So I fancied doing a post today and as I have being recently discovering my favourite lipsticks of all time, I thought it would be a perfect idea to do a post about them.
I have around 16 lipsticks in total which is a lot to some and not a lot to others (however this excludes the numerous lipglosses/stains/butters/care and my One lip pencil that I also own..)
I don't wear all 16 as 5 are random 'no brand' sorta thangssss and I'm just not attracted to wearing them, therefore this post will consist of only 11.

Swatches
1- Flirtatious is the lighter shade of the two ELF lipsticksthat I own. They are pretty matte and last a decent time and are an incredible £1.50. Need I say more?!
2 - Hue by MAC is a very well known shade indeed and the lightest of these swatches. It is a fairly basic pink nude that gives your lips a bit of sheen. Great for beginners but debatable whether £13.50 is justifiable when it doesn't make much difference to your lip colour (well mine anyway.) It's a glaze finish, so not very pigmented.
However, I do really enjoy wearing this on a day-to-day basis and it requires minimal maintenance which is always a bonus..
3 - This Rimmel lipstick is by far the most used as has basically almost ran out. (Hard to do with a lipstick!) It's called 'Foxy' and is shade 102 from an old lipstick range that was in store years ago.. I got it a year ago from the Factory Shop (sells discontinued lines.) It's a pink nude but more pigmented than the Hue! I honestly think it's amazing and will be very sad when it comes to it's final use.
4 - Shade 7 by MUA is a creamy lipstick yet so pigmented. There are no actual names for these lipsticks which is pretty disappointing (picky? maybe..) but i feel as if there is no personal touch or thought put in here..
However, it's a lovely dark coral pink and at £1 it will hardly break the bank!
5 - Frozen Rose by Avon is a dark rosey pink colour, however not as deep on the lips due to it's light pigmentation and creamy texture. It is quite sheer but lovely for the days where you want to look au natural.
6 - Snob by MAC. This appears more of a pastel purple pink compared to the others and is definitely not for the faint hearted. (I have already done a blog post on this lipstick if you want to check it out here)
I feel as if some days it can look nice and some it cannot, but I love the pigmentation and how different it is - definitely check it out if you are a lipstick lover like me!
7 - Infrared By Topshop was first introduced by Zoey (Zoella) on Youtube and it looked GORGEOUS on her! I purchased it at a reasonable £6 but find it doesn't really suit me.. Not sure if I wear it on the right days or whatever but I love the orangey red colour and recommend the topshop lipsticks to anyone.
8 - Love That Red (725) Super lustrous Lipstick By Revlon. - This colour doesn't seem to be available at Revlon counters, however I found this in the factory shop for a mere £2.. bargain!
It's a traditional red colour with a bit of sheen - the lipstick says 'creme' so is a perfect moisturising red lip colour. It's gorgeous!
9 - Sociable By ELF is a dark hot pink colour and is the same formula to 'Sociable'. Again, £1.50 and such good value for money! I think hot pinks will be suitable for summer so I'm definitely looking forward to wearing it.
10 - 62 By Barry M is probably one of the first lipsticks I ever bought (you wouldn't think it by looking at the colour would you?!) It'a a BRIGHT neon pink colour, that I must admit looks hard to wear. Patted on lightly though can look lovely and the matte consistency makes it long wearing.
Forgot to swatch 'Berry Sorbet' By Natural Collection for some reason, so here it is..
It is berry coloured (believe it or not!) and is mostly matte but applies quite well. Nice and pigmented: Cheap as chips too!
Sorry for the rather long post, but hope you liked.
What are all your favourite lipsticks?
Love Alice
