I love lipstick, I feel like it can really make or break a look, but I always find it so hard to know which ones are good and which ones are well....not so good. There are so many different things to think about when choosing lipsticks like, How long does it stay on for? Is it to heavy or barely there at all? Do they smell or taste funny? Do the colours look like the brand say they do when they are on your lips? So to answer these questions I have compiled a list of my 4 favourite lip products.
At number 4 we have the Kate Moss lipstick from Rimmel. After hearing a lot of people raving about these lipsticks I finally decided to go out and buy myself one, I bought number 110, which is a really bright pinky orange colour. The first thing that struck me abut these was the colour itself as it is excellent and looks just how it looks like it should on my lips, the lipsticks are really pigmented, which gives a really bright matte finish cover. The lipstick is not amazingly long lasting but holds well when drinking and eating, which I love!
Unfortunately I was not as taken aback by these lipsticks as I thought I would be. I found that they have a slightly strange smell and taste to them and they were also very heavy on my lips. I also found that they weren't very easy at all to put on which, wasn't great for me as i have a shaky hand as it is! Overall, I do really enjoy this lipstick I think the range of colours that Rimmel have are excellent, there is definitely something for everyone. They are pretty good for the day if your eating and drinking and they last for quite a long time! Unfortunately this lipstick is a bit to heavy for me and the smell and taste makes it hard for me to wear them for to long, and that is why this lipstick is coming in at number 4 on my scale. These cost £5.49 from Boots or Superdrug.
At number 3 are the Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butters. I really fell in love with these Lip Butters as I love how brilliant the colours were but also how soft they make your lips. These Lipsticks were my staple lipsticks for school because they weren't to heavy and just gave a subtle amount of colour and shine to your lips. They are great for when you have cracked lips as they really moisturise your lips whilst still giving you a great colour. These lipsticks have a lovely sweet smell to them and are so silky smooth to apply. The two colours I have are 090 Sweet Tart which is a gorgeous bright pink colour and 015 Tutti Frutti which is a summery orange colour and great for this weather. The Colour itself is pretty good although not necessarily as bright as I would have liked and although they last for quite a long time the colour does fade as they day goes, eventually leaving you with just a shine to your lips, which is better than nothing. These Lip Butters are definitely a must have as they are great for days where you have cracked lips or cant be bothered with a full face of make-up but still want some colour on your lips. So at number 3 its the Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butters. These cost £7.99 from Boots or Superdrug.

Number 2 on my scale is another Revlon Lipstick, they really know how to make a good lipstick! These are the Revlon super Lustrous Lipstick's. I got these Lipsticks as a birthday present from a guy friend who had been told to get me the Revlon Lip Butters but being a guy and not knowing much about make-up got me these instead, but I am so glad he did. These Lipsticks tick pretty much all the boxes. The colour of them on the lips is perfect, they are so pigmented and they have a gorgeous matte finish. They are not to heavy but not to light and they usually last the whole evening and they have little to no smell at all. The two colours I have are 424 Amethyst Shell which is an insanely gorgeous pinky silvery colour(definitely my favourite lip colour in the world) and 028 Cherry Blossom which is a elegant deep red colour. These lipsticks are great for nights out and look great all night. I have one tiny issue with these lipsticks which is they are not as silky and easy to apply as other lipsticks and I do usually need to be right by a mirror to apply these properly but otherwise these are definitely well deserving of being at number 2 in the scale, definitely a good mistake of a present. These cost £7.49 from Boots or Superdrug.
AND FINALLY COMING IN AT NUMBER 1 IS................*drumroll*............. THE BOURJOIS COLOUR BOOST LIP CRAYON! There has been a lot of hype about these lip crayon's and I can understand why. There are 4 colours, red sunshine, Fuchsia Libre, Orange Punch and Peach on the Beach. The 2 colours I have are Red Sunshine, which is a bright red and Orange Punch which is a bright orange colour, both great for the summer. The thing I love about these Lip Crayons is some lip crayons tend to feel very sticky on your lips but these are so moisturising and feel so silky smooth. The colours hold for absolutely ages with a high gloss finish and can also withstand a quite a lot of water(I say quite a lot I went swimming with one on and it lasted pretty well for the first half hour or so) One other thing I love about these is how easily they come off without leaving any trace behind which is very rare with waterproof lip products. They are great for applying on the go as they are so easy to apply and, if you do make a mistake they come of your skin with no hassle. I only have one problem with these Lip Crayons and that is they are so darn good that I wish there were more colours!
