Top 5 drugstore lipsticks under £5!





Left/Right

Revlon 'Volcanic Red'
This lipstick was around £3.50, cheap for nice red lipstick. I bought this over a year ago and I still use it all the time, not only is it long lasting but it comes in beautiful sturdy packaging!

17 Supreme shine 'Bella'
This is probably the second time I have purchased this lipstick, mainly because its a pretty shiny nude that's perfect to throw on when your in need of a pick me up! I usually use this when I'm in a rush because its pretty and long lasting. I payed around £3 from boots and will probably keep repurchasing until I find something similar.

Rimmel 'Notting Hill Nude'
Out of all the lipsticks this is probably my favourite. I am probably quite fussy when it comes to nude lipsticks, some shades suit my skin tone others don't but I'd say this is the perfect colour for me & I hope to see this again. The best thing about this product has to be the price, cannot complain for £1! Goood eh?

Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick '107'
I just love this brand, especially because of the matte lipsticks. I do love a good gloss but a beautiful matte red is just perfect for all occasions. I loved this in winter and over used it! I has some purple tones in too and looks perfect with winged liner. At around £4 this is the most expensive lipstick out the bunch but defiantly worth to have in your collection.

Miss Sporty Perfect colour lipstick '054'
I really hate lipsticks that are named with numbers, although they are easier to find, I feel the brand could have been a little more creative. I bought this a few years ago as I was looking for an affordable coral lipstick. I absolutely love this brand, my favourite thing is that is smells of watermelons! I have reused this many times and always get compliments when wearing it.

Finding the perfect red lipstick.

Helloo there!

I for one love red lipstick, everyday I always find the time to apply my favorite color. Over the time I have built up a collection of red lipsticks even with some being the same shade, I think I might be slightly obsessed!
After years of searching for the perfect shade for me I finally settled on MAC Russian Red, The most perfect matte and pigmented lipstick I have ever used, My love for this lipstick grows stronger by the day (I know, really weird ha ha!) For me, I prefer a matte look, How about you?

To find the right shade for you, Make sure that it suits your skin tone for example:








* Fair skin Tones - Orange/Coral Red Or even peach










* Medium skin tones - Bright and Bold reds












* Dark Skin tones - More dark shades of red 






Red lipstick has always been popular and I believe every woman needs at least one red lipstick in their life.
Make sure you always test the lipstick before you buy, to make sure it suits your hair and skin color and remember, Not all red lipsticks you see will be the same color as it is than on your lips, make sure you try by blending concealer into your lips to insure the color will look and stay the same as the package. 


This is my collection of red lipsticks , Do you have your favorite shade, brand and texture?

Thanks for reading!!
