Beauty Bargains | Lipsticks Under £5
Thursday, March 03, 2016
As
you already know (well most likely if you know who I am or have read my ‘About’
page) I am only 16 and in a part time job which means although I’m earning
money I don’t have loads money to spend on mega expensive things I may want. In
all honesty, I don’t particularly always want the most expensive things,
especially makeup. I mean, it would be nice to own high end makeup but for
someone who is only just getting really interested in wearing my own makeup, it
isn’t really practical to spend a lot of money on foundation or bronzer. Not
saying it’s bad, of course it isn’t, but in my case, if I get more interested
in makeup I may consider investing in high end makeup. But for now, drugstore
makeup is my best friend haha.
Anyway,
back to what the blog post is actually about.
Lipsticks!
I
am gradually falling in love with lipsticks. I’ve always really like them to be
honest and always wanted to wear it but I always felt like personally on me, it
looked too much. But now I’m a little older and embracing myself for who I am,
I’m more open to trying new things and as weird and such a small thing as it
may sound, that involves wearing lipstick on a ‘every other day’ basis.
Personally,
I love the shape of my lips. I feel that for my liking, they’re not too big or
too small and are kinda just right for me. Therefore, I’ve found that wearing
lipstick can complement them quite a bit.
I
absolutely LOVE nude lipsticks, especially browns!! Lord, I am obsessed.
Which
is why, I recently purchased a few lipsticks to try out these two different
brands nude colours, I also bought a couple reds because why not?!
I
find that with a lot of nudes, although they’re nudes, they’re not nudes. If
that makes sense. Being mixed race, means that with a lot of nude lipsticks,
they tend look like I’ve slavered a foundation all over my lips and just look
ridiculous (on me personally, not necessarily anyone else lol). Therefore, I
wanted to try out some less expensive lipsticks to try them out before
investing in some more expensive ones just to see how I like them.
You
may have already realised I absolutely love Makeup Revolution and MUA seen as
several of my previous post are based on their products. They are definitely my
go to makeup brands and I highly recommend them to anybody wanting to try out
makeup that is not very expensive.
I
bought 6 lipsticks altogether – 3 nude shades and 3 red shades.
These
products cost £1 each! Yes! £1!! To say how cheap they are, I really do love
these shades, I did find that with a couple they looked a little light or too
pink so I put them on together and had a gorgeous nude shade!
So,
read on to take a look at these lipsticks I tried out!
Fawn Fancy - MUA
Nude - Makeup Revolution
Shade 1 - MUA
Shade 1 - MUA
The One - Makeup Revolution
Wild Berry - MUA
There
you have it, just a couple gorgeous lipsticks I picked out and decided to try. For someone who isn’t entirely found of a red lip (on myself) the 3 red shades are
stunning! I especially LOVE the nude shades out of all of them though!
I
