I'm definitely a lady of far too many lipsticks.
I can definitely say I have a lipstick for every occasion .. and then some.
So today I've put together my current favourites (Which was a pretty tough decision) But I've got it down to 6 products in total.
Excuse the fact that my makeup table needs a clean .. when I do my makeup let's just say I end up with more product on the table than my face!
I'll start with the red lipstick which is by Seventeen and is called Hot Stuff (I find the name a bit cringe but the product is amazing) it is one of their 'Supreme Shine Lipsticks' and retails at £4.99 (in Boots) .. Bargain.
I find it incredibly difficult to find red lipsticks which don't go really dry and patchy quickly but this one is so moisturising and long lasting. I find it probably one of the easiest out of all my darker lipsticks to apply and would definitely recommend this one a lot!
If you see me wearing a red lipstick, 9 times out of 10 it's going to be this one!
Next up is the NYX Lingerie collection.
Again I get hold of these in Boots .. I'm so excited because they have finally brought a NYX counter into my local Boots (Thank you make up fairies!)
These are my absolute favourites for nude lipsticks. They are so easy to apply.
The two shades which are my current favourites at the moment are 02 and 08. They retail in Boots at £7 and last me a good 6 months before I need to repurchase. 02 is more of a nude/purple colour .. more of a dark nude but it's perfect when I want a casual look with an almost subtle but statement lip. 08 was my first lipstick love from this range, honestly it is the perfect nude. It will literally go with anything.
My only criticism with these would have to be that they do dry your lips out a bit but just pop a little bit of clear gloss over the top and they're no trouble at all.
NYX is definitely one brand that's absolutely killing it for me on the high street at the moment so definitely look out for my NYX related posts in the near future .. I'm working my way through their products!
Who doesn't love a good matte look at the moment?
I absolutely love Sleek for their 'matte me' lipsticks .. they're definitely a lipstick you need to have the time to really focus on so that it doesn't go on messy! But well worth the effort.
Sleek make up is available in both Boots and Superdrug and are only £4.99.
The two shades I've been enjoying recently are 'Velvet Slipper' and 'Bittersweet'
Velvet Slipper is the darker, berry tone and I completely feel in love with it last year while on a little city break, berry tones are me all over. I love a good dark lip and this is working me wonders. Bittersweet is more of a dark nude. It's definitely someone I could get away with for everyday wear but it's still that little bit darker than that of the NYX nude I'm in love with.
Like the NYX Lingerie range I do also find these a bit dry after they've been worn for a long time. I tend to use these as more of a evening lipstick rather than a full day lipstick. I like a little bit of glossiness for a daytime look so these are perfect for hitting the town.
So I mentioned adding a little bit of gloss to my NYX lipsticks and for that I like to use Soap and Glory - Pillow Plump xxl.
I'm obsessed.
I just go for the clear one so that I can wear it over any lipstick and not worry about any bad colour mixes.
These again are available in Boots (Can we tell I like getting makeup in Boots?) and retail at £10 each.
I would never wear this on it's own because I live for a bit of colour so I just pop it over a colour to add a bit of glossiness.
This definitely lives up to it's name of being a lip plumper. It's so difficult to explain but it makes your lips tingle once it's on .. almost like burning but not in a horrible way! That makes absolutely no sense at all but I'm ok with that. You'll just have to give it a go I suppose! It doesn't tingle forever .. just for a bit when you first put it on but it's good. I promise.
Here's another photo just a little bit closer .. just to see the colours a little more clearly.
That's enough about lipsticks but I love them so I could talk all day!
Let me know what your favourite lipsticks are because I'm always on the look out for something new.

With red lipstick give Bobbi Brown a go! I use their Rich Lip Color - Blazing Red (#35) it's more of a matte finish and lasts hours!! I wear it both for daytime and for a night out as the shade just matches everything! I'm quite pale skinned and it's fabulous having found a red that suits me! Loving your blog ❤️
