Top 5 lipsticks (drugstore)

Hi guys so I have to type out my blog post on my phone today to get it up on time so there will be no photos or swatches of my top 5 drugstore lip products.

No.1 :  Rimmel colour rush
These lip crayons are amazing I love my viva violet one. These remind me of the benefit balms because they are like tinted lip balms just a bit more pigmented. They are about £4.49 in super drug and boots stores and are amazing quality.

No.2 : Mua lipsticks
These lipsticks people rarely buy because they are cheap but they are amazing some of them are really pigmented.They come in a wide range of colours and are really good quality for the price.I love shade 2 and shade 6.

No.3 : top shop lipsticks and lip paints
I have recently brought some top shop makeup products after hearing how good they were I got one of there lipsticks in hazard its a really lovely bright red it's so pigmented it lasts ages on the lips it has a really nice matte effect.I brought one of there lip paints in evelate it's so amazing I wear it as a nice neutral it's a really nice pinky nude lipgloss.

No.4 : Nyx lip glosses
I love my Nyx glossses they are so creamy and leave a really nice effect on the lips. I have the shade beige which is a gorgeous pinky shade which is a really nice neutral for my lips.

No.5 : maybelline baby lips
I know these are lip balms but I love them they are definitely moisturising and they have spf some are tinted some are clear but they really help my lips when they are dry. I love them as a nice pop of color for a more natural shade to my lips.

Thanks for reading everyone!  😘 xx

Benefit reviews

Hello everyone, this is going to be my Benefit review post. These are my opinions and this post is not sponsored by Benefit.

 

Lollitint, Benetint and Posietint

The Benefit tints are so cute, these pictured are the medium sized tints and I don't have cha-cha tint yet ;)



Lollitint is described as a candy orchid tint, it is a beautiful lavender which is definitely one of the thicker tints in the family.
 
 
 
Benetint is described as a rose tinted colour and it is a gorgeous red which looks beautiful on the cheeks or lips. I tend to reach for this tint more than any of the other tints. This is a classic in the Benefit collection as it was the first Benefit product and for me one of the best. This tint is very thin and watery so when applying to the cheeks I blend it in immediately or it will dry.

Posietint is described as a poppy pink tint and is a light pink that is thicker than Benetint and it looks so beautiful on the lips and cheeks. I use this one the most in the summer months when I tend to wear more lighter colours.  

  

Benefit Balms

Next are two of the four Benefit new balms which accompany the tints, Benebalm is the darkest balm.  Benefit market these as for different coloured balms they are very sheer, but the packaging is the cutest. I love them as balms for days when I don't want lipstick on and I've heard lots of people doing the layering method where you apply the tint then the balm, but I do think they are nice alone and they also have hints of shimmer in the light.  





Porefessional

The Porefessional is the probalm to minimize the appearance of pores, this makes my makeup last longer and does minimize my pores.  Porefessional makes my skin feel so soft, the picture is my travel size Porefessional. This is one of their bestselling products.


 
 
 


Hervana Lip Gloss

This is Benefits Hervana ultra plush lip gloss, these accompany the blushers
and bronzers.  This one is a pinkie rose with shimmer in it, it looks quite dark
in the photo but it is quite light and shimmery on the lips, its not to sticky and
looks very nice when your lips need a bit of colour.

The Hervana swatch is the far right on the above the Porefessional swatch.

 

Cheeky Sweet Spot

The Benefit cheeky sweet spot is one of the 2014 holiday palettes.  The packaging is adorable but is tin so not very travel friendly, but is so cute. 

The blushers and bronzers are amazing as expected from Benefit, they range from a light dusty rose colour to a pinkie playful colour this also includes watts up highlight sample which is a beautiful highlight for the cheekbone and browbone.




The cheeky sweet spot also includes one of the brushes included in all of their box blushers and bronzers.

My favourite blush in this set is Coralista and of course the no.1 favourite bronzer of mine Hoola, one of Benefit's top selling products.



The picture of the benefit cheeky sweet spot swatches above is not my photo.

Thanks for reading this blog post sorry it was so long xxxx.

Next Fridays post will be about my MAC lipsticks.
