Drugstore Lipsticks Haul | Barry M and Rimmel

Hey there lovely ladies, happy Bank Holiday weekend! I hope you all have some exciting things planned to get up to this weekend, but I just thought I'd quickly share with you some recent lipstick purchases that I made from two very affordable highstreet/drugstore brands. I know that four lipsticks doesn't constitute much of a 'haul', but I thought that it was worth showing to you all to share some of the gorgeous shades. All four of these were ordered at the same time from Superdrug online but they're all widely available so you should be able to find them in most Boots and Superdrug stores.

If you saw my summer lipsticks post then you will know that I'm a fan of bright lips; whether it's hot pink or bright coral/orange, I like them to be vibrant and bold. That's all well and good but sometimes you just need something a bit more subtle and wearable for the day time. This was something that my collection was lacking. I know, crazy - right? Who doesn't own everyday natural colour lipsticks? And hold onto your hats, because I literally don't own one single nude shade. 

Soo, I headed to Rimmel for my answer to some softer and more 'go with everything and anything' kind of shades. The darker shade (#16) is literally my dream colour and I am IN LOVE. I cannot stop wearing this, it's just the perfect shade of pink for me. The lighter one is maybe a touch too light to be perfect, but I still really like it and it's unlike anything else that I own as it leans slightly lilac-y. Plus, these matte formulations from Kate Moss's collection are really spot on - more like a semi-matte/satin finish that last forever.

No, your eyes are not deceiving you.. that lipstick is green. 'TMLP' or 'Turn My Lips Pink' is a little bit of a novelty and a fad that I bought into, but hey - I was curious! This lipstick applies clear at first and then reacts to the natural pigments/alkali in your lips and transforms in colour to be a shade suited for you and only you. A personalised lipstick? That's pretty damn cool. On my hand it turned into a light pink but on my lips it went a darker and more berry shade, which I guess just shows how different it can turn out on different people/skin. 'Sunset' is a gorgeous bright shade that is the perfect mix of red and orange to create a bright dark coral.

All affordable and gorgeous pink shades to lighten things up for the summer months.

Which is your favourite?
