little lipstick review

 

 
so I have recently decided on wearing more lipsticks, and because I didn't own any this did mean I went shopping (no surprise). I thought i don't want to spend lots of money incase I didn't like the way lipstick looked on me, or if the colour suited me etc. so I wanted some that we're cheap. also because I hadn't worn them much before I didn't want them to look really vibrant on my lips incase I don't like the look. so I decided on buying 2 nude colours and 2 vibrant colours, so I'd know what suited me, and I love them all.

natural collection in biscuit (boots, £1.99)

I love how the natural collection lipsticks sit on my lips, they're very moisturising and the colour comes out amazingly. this particular lipstick is in the shade 'biscuit' it is a nude/orange colour and looks lovely on, I have an olive skin tone so I think these colours look lovely on, but I do think you defiantly get what you pay for because this product is so cheap it doesn't stay on for very long you do have to re-apply the lipstick after about 2 hours, but it's good for what you pay for. 

natural collection in crimson (boots £1.99)

I then decided to get a more vibrant colour to see if it looked nicer than a nude tone, and I don't think it looks as bad as I was thinking, I do quite like it, I'm not someone to go all vibrant in any clothes or makeups I like my dull neutral colours, but I do like this shade, however again it doesn't last on your lips for very long, i'd say this one lasts longer than the biscuit shade, but this is probably because it's more vibrant you notice more than a nude, I would still recommend buying these if your looking for something cheap because they do feel lovely on my lips 

revlon lip butter 025 peach parfait (boots £7.99)

next is again a nude/orange colour but from the revlon lip butter range, these are very moisturing also, but the colours don't come out as vibrant as the sticker to tell you the shade, which I like because I already have a nude tone that's bright, it would be like having two of the same lipsticks. this lipsticks also more of a glossy finish, where as the the natural collection lipsticks are more matte. I do think I prefer the matte lipsticks, but again it's nice to have a range.


I then chose a second lip butter, but again another vibrant colour, instead of a second red I went for a pink colour, but I don't think it suits me as much as the reds or nudes, I will still wear this because the lip butters are less vibrant so they don't come up as vibrant on your lips.

I love all the lipsticks I purchased and I'd give the natural collection lipsticks a 4/5 because I love the colours that come out, and the packaging is good, but it doesn't last on your lips but that's understandable for the price, and I'd give the lip butters a 3.5/5 because they are expensive and not as vibrant. but they are all lovely for starting off I think and am excited to extend my lipstick collection
