Hey guys!

So I was having a clear out of my lipsticks that I either don't like or I barely use anymore and I thought, why not do a post on the lipsticks that I can't live without. Underneath each photo of the lipsticks, I'll put the names of them and a link to where you can purchase them.

So here it goes!

(from L to R: Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick in '110' - £5.49, Collection 2000 lipstick in 'Cherry Pop' - £2.99 and NYC Expert Last lipstick in 'Blue Rose' - £1.99)

The Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick and the Collection 2000 lipstick are both matte lipsticks. The Collection 2000 lipstick is a little bit more drying than the Rimmel one. Whereas the NYC lipstick is a shimmery/satin finish lipstick. The Rimmel lipstick is a bright bright orange colour, the Collection 2000 lipstick is a vibrant red with a hint of orange in it and the NYC lipstick is gorgeous blue toned fuschia.

(MUA lipstick in 'Shade 2' - £1, MUA Lipstick in 'Shade 5' - £1 and Avon Kiss 'n' Go lipstick in 'Amethyst' - £1.90.)

All three lipsticks have a shimmery finish, but the MUA lipstick in 'Shade 5' has pretty rough glitter particles in it also, so I suppose it's kind of a frosty finish. The MUA lipstick in 'Shade 2' and the Avon lipstick so look quite similar, but the Avon is more of a plum colour and the MUA lipstick has more of a hint of pink in it, whereas the MUA lipstick in 'Shade 5' is a gorgeous glittery coral colour. The MUA lipstick in 'Shade 5' is the least pigmented lipstick of the three, but that's probably due to the amount of glitter in the lipstick.

(Natural Collection lipstick in 'Cranberry', Collection 2000 Little Mix lipstick in 'Perrie' - £2.99 and MAC lipstick in 'Candy Yum Yum' - £15)

The Natural Collection lipstick and the Collection 2000 lipstick are both very creamy but the Collection 2000 lipstick is more a demi-matte finish but they're both beautifully pigmented, but the MAC lipstick is very very matte and I would not recommend this lipstick if you do have very dry lips because I've never known a lipstick to cling to dry patches as much as this lipstick does, although it does wear well if you do wear a lip balm underneath it. The Natural collection lipstick in 'Cranberry' is a gorgeous dark pinky plum colour with gold shimmer throughout it. The Collection 2000 lipstick in 'Perrie' is a beautiful bright purple on the lips, it's almost quite a vibrant lilacy colour, it's definitely wearable though - you can see a full review of this lipstick here. The MAC lipstick on the other hand, is very very hard to wear, as it is an almost neon bright pink, I'd recommend it as more of a night time colour although you can definitely wear it as more of a stain if you use a lip brush.

MUA Luxe Velvet Lip Laquer in 'Kooky' - £3.

And finally, the MUA Luxe Lip Laquer in Kook is a very very dark purple colour (the photo isn't doing it much justice, I know), it's a very matte finish, it's extremely drying so I would recommend wear a lip balm either under or over it once it's dried. It's extremely long-lasting, but that's probably due to how matte it is. It's definitely for those who are a bit more daring when it comes to lipstick as a it is a very dark purple.

As these were swatched on paper and in not the best lighting, the picture isn't showing the swatches true to colour, but you get the gist.

What lipsticks have you been loving lately?

That's all for now,
