Getting Lippy

I am a massive fan of lipstick, from Kate Moss' signature bright red to the ever famous GOSH Darling nude, as you will be able to tell from this lipstick collection post.




The first is a threesome of GOSH lipsticks, I must admit two of these are Darling which is number 134 because I always like to have one at home and one in my handbag, ha ha! The other is a magnificent bright pink which looks amazing layered over Darling.These GOSH Velvet Touch lipsticks are a great creamy consistency and looks amazing on too.




The next bunch I've got are Make Up Academy or MUA lipsticks and they come in a massive range of colours and they all have stickers on the lids with the shade number on so obviously I'll be able to tell you which lipstick is which. Well, I can't, because I took all the lids off for the photographs and then they were all mixed up. Very professional of me, huh! 
Regardless, they are a great range of colours and they range from very solid pigmented colours to the very sheer, glittery colours. These lipsticks are an incredible £1.00 each, and for the price they are amazing! They go on great and don't leave your lips dry at all. (p.s. I have actually managed to forget one of the lipsticks in the photo though, sorry missing lipstick!) 




I'm a huge fan of Barry M cosmetics, I've got a huge collection of their Nail Paints which I LOVE! 
These Lipsticks are available in a great range of colours but I just don't like the texture of some of them. Their texture seems to change with the colour, the pink one which is number 100 I love the colour of it but each time I use it, it dries my lips out and looks horrible on because it starts to crack. The nude colour in Marshmallow which is number 101, I love this colour but have to dab it on my lips rather than swipe it because the dryness of the colour makes it look horrible once its on your lips. The third one I have is a gorgeous lilac colour which is in fact is a lovely creamy consistency and isn't too drying at all, surprisingly. 




These two lipsticks are from a brand called New York Color or NYC. They are really great lipsticks and are very inexpensive too which is always a bonus, the one on the left is 411 which is called Snowcone and this is a lovely colour on, it's quite sheer but still has good pigmentation. The one on the right is 407 which is called Smooch, this colour it very pigmented and looks lovely too. My only issue with these lipsticks is that they don'd wind all the way down, which means when you go to put the lid on, you quite often catch the lipstick with the lid meaning your consistently wiping lipstick off of the lid.  





This next lipstick is the nicest, brightest pink I've ever owned and I really love this colour, its a lipstick from beautyuk and is in the colour innocent, which is number 1. I was majorly excited when I got it in the post and couldn't wait to try it. But when I did try it, I discovered I was allergic to it and it burnt my lips like crazy! So be aware, fellow sensitive lip people, this lipstick is evil in a gorgeous bright, Barbie pink disguise!





This is the brightest red I have and is from the Collection 2000 brand, it is in colour 8 Cherry pop. I've barely used this one as my milk bottle face completion couldn't handle the bright red. It is a really nice colour though and I'd love to be able to rock it!




This lipstick is a 2true glossywear  lipstick and is in the colour number 5, this colour is a really nice sheer beige, its got a really glittery, glossy finish to it and it looks lovely with a dark colour lipgloss over the top of it. I love the packaging of this lipstick, there's a cute clear window in the top of it which make sit easy to see the colour of the lipstick.




This lipstick is another 2true one, its a colour drench lipstick in number 5. The colour is a great vibrant dark pink and looks great. I absolutely love this packaging, the colour of the tube is gorgeous and I think it gives it such a high end feel. As it's 2true it's got the same little window in the top which allows you to see the colour without having to remove the lid. This lipstick is great value for money as the 2true brand is great products for a very inexpensive price.




This is one of my favourite lipsticks, its a Revlon Colourburst Lipstick  in colour 020 Baby Pink, it's a really lovely shade of pink but it quite sheer as you put it on. I love the fact that the word Revlon is imprinted in the actual lipstick and I also like the criss cross pattern on the packaging, it's a really cute lipstick. There is also the colour printed on the top of the lipstick, this makes it really easy to see the colour when it's stored away.




This is one of Kate Moss' new lipsticks that she made for Rimmel London. This one is in colour 05, which is a lovely bold and vivid pink. I absolutely love these lipsticks they are the nicest texture ever and go on so smoothly, this colour looks amazing over the top of GOSH Darling lipstick.


That's about it, that sums up my current lipstick collection :) Leave me a comment below letting me know which lipsticks you love, and which ones you wished were better! And give me any recommendations you have!  

Have a fab and lippy day, Rebecca

  1. That really is a huge lipstick collection!
    I adore BarryM cosmetics, I have a MASSIVE nail varnish collection, but I have to be honest and say I am not so keen on their lipsticks :(

  2. I'm exactly the same! I have in excess of 40 BarryM polishes and just three of their lipsticks. They just don't seem to go on right, they crack and leave my lips looking horrible!
