My Tiny Tiny Lipstick Collection

Howdy!

So, as the title suggests, this is my lipstick collection!

Now I am aware that some people have what looks like hundreds of lipstick's, and that's fine, I however only have a handful of them, but I get a great deal of use out of (almost)each of them, apart from 2!

So lets get cracking!

With all my lipsticks, I tend to steer towards the same sorts of colours.  This is because I don't feel like any of the say more orange tones lipsticks suit me.  I have a few red lipsticks floating around, but i haven't included them because, to be honest, I very rarely wear them, and they have more than likely vanished out of my room anyway!

Most of them are drugstore brands apart from 2 MAC ones 

So first are 3 Avon lipsticks.  I have had these for a while now, 2 are from there 'Colourtrend' range, which i think is aimed at teenagers getting into makeup or something along those lines, I'm not to sure.  The other is from there usual makeup line.

(shade is 'Pink Holiday') 

 This is a beautiful light pink shade, it looks darker on the picture, but once on your lips it comes out as a lovely light pink shade.  the consistency is perfect, it almost feels like your putting a balm on your lips, but with a a lot of pigment at the same time.  It leaves your lips feeling moisturized and lasts quite well, not as good as some of my others but i wasn't expecting anything amazing from it to start out with.  I think i got this lipstick for around the £3.00 mark, which was a bargain!  The only think i dislike is the packaging, I find it to be really plain and boring, almost like children's play makeup.  I'm not sure if thats because of the audience its targeted at or what.

The second Avon lipstick is also from the same colourtrend line.

(shade is 'Kiss Me')

I believe this lipstick was in there Valentines book.  Again the packaging doesn't thrill me, it feels child like, but the colour is again beautiful.  Its a coral shade, but edging more towards orange when you put it on your lips.  I don't like this formula as much as the other one.  It comes out quite 'bitty' unless you have perfect lips.  Another thing i don't like is the actual lipstick end is in the shape of a heart and makes it really difficult to apply.  What i tend to do is dab it onto my lips and 'pucker up' a few times so its spread evenly and then apply a clear gloss over the top.  I'd say this is my least worn lipstick, but for £2.50 I cant complain!

The final Avon lipstick I own is there 'Extra Lasting' range of lipsticks.

(shade is 'Pink Peach')

Compared to the Colourtrend range, there usual makeup line I love.  This lipstick is a gorgeous pinky red colour (if there is such a thing), it comes our more on the red side when applied.  You can also tell that they use a different formula than the Colourtrend line.  The formula is moisturizing and stays put for ages, hence the 'Extra Lasting' bit in the products name.  I don't feel the need to apply a gloss on this lipstick as the glass can sometimes make it a bit sticky and to much on your lips, it looks nice enough on its own.

 Next up is Barry M

(shade '101')

Now, as much as i love Barry M products, there lipsticks are in my opinion, awful. 

I'd heard from a few people that the lipstick everyone should own was shade '101', sort of a very pale pink, bordering on white. So listening to hype, i went out and got it, but, me being me didn't swatch it in the store, i just picked it up and went to the till.  I got home and tried the lipstick and boy was i in for a surprise.  Baring in mind i had lipbalm on all day, when I applied this lipstick it felt like it was dragging my lip off with it.  The formula is awful, it comes out very bitty and totally blanks out your lips.  It makes you look ill.  Unless you have the perfect base i don't think this lipstick will ever look, umm, good?  the only way I can wear it is again, dabbing it on my lips and wearing a gloss over the top so i don't look as ill as if i wore it on its own.  It smells horrid also.  Plus side, I think the packaging is nice, not amazing but nice.

(Top tip, not everything is worth the hype!)

On to Rimmel

I have 2 Rimmel lipsticks, I did have loads of Rimmel lipsticks, but i had to throw most of them away as they had sadly gone past the use by and looked discusting :) 

First is a Lasting Finish lipstick

(shade is 'Heather Shimmer')

Its got a very creamy formula, doesn't look at all bitty and lasts for a good while!  Its a very nice berry colour, with a hint of shimmer in it.  I love berry colours on my lips, as I'm quite pale I think it gives a nice pop of colour, I always get really nice comments when i wear it too which is lovely!  i can't remember how much I payed for this lipstick, but I love this lipstick, I have used it to death!

The second Rimmel lipstick is from the Kate Moss Collection.

(shade is '101')

This is a Matte lipstick in a beautiful light pink colour, no shimmer as its matte, but it has excellent colour payoff.  I don't use a gloss over it as I really love Matte lips.  The formula is nice, nothing special in my oppinion, i dont think its as creamy and moisturizing as the other Rimmel lipstick.  I'm not sure if that's because its Matte or what not!  

4 more to go, stay with me!

Next are 2 Soap & Glory Matte lipsticks.  

(shade is 'Blush Pink')

First of all, I LOVE the packaging of any Soap & Glory products, it's right up my alley.  The lipstick its self is the most used out of my little collection, I love everything about it.  Its super moisturizing, it has a tiny bit of shimmer in it, but still appears Matte on the lips and has amazing pigmentation. I think I payed around the £9.00 mark for this lipsick in boots, but in my eyes its well worth it!

The second Soap & Glory lipstick is exactly the same but just in a different colour

(shade is 'Pom Pom') 

Like i said, exactly the same views on this lipstick, its just in a almost hot pink colour!

Finally, the last 2 are from MAC

First is one from the Lady GaGa collection.

(shade is 'Rose Maiden')

To be honest, I'm not overly bothered about MAC lipsticks,  but i got these ones brand new off eBay as I couldn't find them anywhere anymore, I think i payed about £6.00 for this one, which was a steal! I like the lipstick, it has a creamy formula, stays put for a long time, but I struggle to see why they are so expensive normally?  Maybe its just me being tight with my money!

The last lipstick is from the Wonder Woman collection.

 (shade is 'Pink Plaid')

I prefer this colour to the Lady GaGa one, its more of a light shimmery pink.  As we are now in spring, I think its more of a spring colour and something light you can just apply quickly.  Again, the formula is nice, creamy, not bitty, but still struggling to see the price side of it!

Well that's my Tiny Tiny lipstick collection, thanks for reading!
