MAKEUP - Affordable lip glosses and lipsticks

I've been told a couple of times to do a blogpost on affordable make up. Its easy to understand why people would want to see such a post because everything is so expensive these days and I LOVE a bargain myself so I thought this blogpost would be a helpful one as I love make up nearly as much as I love clothes!
This post is going to be pretty long and I'm really sorry about that but it should be really beneficial. You can buy ALL of these products from superdrugs but I will list the concession brands that they come from so they may be easier for you to find/buy (if you live internationally). I usually like more expensive lipsticks because of the packaging and cheaper drugstore brands usually put these ugly thieve protecting stickers on it that just ruins the look. I've just realised that I left some lipsticks and glosses out but I honestly cannot be bothered as this post took a million years to do.

REVLON LIP BUTTER - RASPBERRY PIE Price £5-£7




This colour looks very pink in pictures but it has a very berry undertone. The lip butters are like heavy/ thick based lip balms but have high coverage like a lipstick. I really love them as they are very moisturising for the lips. This lip butter has a very high lustre (shine) 
REVLON LIP BUTTER - PINK TRUFFLE £5-£7


The same as before but in a nude colour. I love this for when I do very heavy eye make up. Its very simple, classy and classic. It also has a very high lustre. I do find that I have to reapply a lot though but I guess thats the difference between this and some MAC lipsticks.

RIMMEL LONDON - VINTAGE PINK (£5-£6)



This is a very cute and girly lipstick with a baby pink base and a very slight lilac undertone. The coverage is quiet full and has a medium lustre.
RIMMEL LONDON - DIVA RED (£5-£6)



I dont really like this lipstick LOL I dont know I think the lustre is too high and it clashes with my skin. Not my favourite but it has a high coverage.
RIMMEL LONDON - SLOANE'S PLUM (£5-£6)



This lipstick is a high lustre purple berry kind of lipstick. Does that even make sense? Anyway I like it lol



KATE MOSS FOR RIMMEL LONDON - 01



I didn't even know I had this lipstick but its ok I guess. It has a low lustre and has a nice rouge colour.

KATE MOSS FOR RIMMEL LONDON - 107 (£5-£6)




This is a red lipstick is a cranberry tone. I LOVE this lipstick so much but it doesn't suit me! I dont know if its in my mind but It makes me look proper ugly and nobody has time to look ugly! But anyway its gorgeous. The only thing I dont like is its floral smell. I hate make up thats has a light fragrance to them. 
COLORSENSATIONAL - VELVET BIEGE 630 (£7-£7.50)


I just got this today from tesco lol I really like this lipstick I think I'll be using this as a daily lipstick. it has a medium lustre. (sorry I forgot to remove the red lipstick off my hand)
RIMMEL LONDON VINLY MAX LIPGLOSS - 701 outrageous
(£5-£7) 



My all time favorite lipgloss!! My go to when it comes to any make up look! It has a slight minty/menthol feeling so it makes your lips feel very soft. It has a full coverage and a high lustre.

COLORSENSATIONAL CREAMGLOSS - NUDE PEARL 622
(£5-£7)


I would say that this is a buildable lipgloss. The more you put on the more it will have a fuller colour like a lipstick. I wear it on top of some of my lipsticks. I had that is has this tangerine smell like why can lips glosses just be unscented?!?!
REVLON COLOURBLAST - CRYSTAL CHIC 002


I like this lipgloss. it reminds me of the Chanel one that I have and love! The only thing that I dont like is this metallicy/ultra shine look that is has. I dont even know if I'm making sense :s

I hope this was helpful! If you would like me to do a blogpost of my more expensive/designer lipstick I can do that too.

Have a lovely evening.
