Top Five High Street Lip Products

 I did a post a few weeks back on my Top Five Mascaras, which got rather a good reception, so I took that as a nudge to continue the story. Lip products are a bit of a weakness of mine, so I couldn’t narrow it down to just top five lip products across the board, so I split it into High Street and High End (which will come up next week).

This was quite hard to narrow down, since the majority of my most-reached for products are from the high street, and I normally have more than five floating around in the depths of each handbag, but I did a little recon, put everything back in it’s rightful place, and picked out the five I reach for most. So without further ado, in no particular order, here are my Top Five High Street Lip Products.
Kate Moss for Rimmel London Matte Lipsticks: I’ve penned many an ode to this formula, I have the whole collection. My colour pick varies depending on my mood or the weather, more recently I’ve been reaching for 111 which is a slightly darker take on a traditional red lip (blame the grey skies). The formula is infallible, not as drying as most matte lippies (MAC I’m looking at you) and they stay put a good four hours before even feathering. I love these so much!

Maybelline ColorSensational Lipstick in Pink Punch: a recent addition to the Rockett Beauty Stash, that has barely left my lips since purchase. It’s a bold pink that appears slightly darker on my lips, a perfect transitional colour for Autumn. Looks great patted into the lips as a stain, or slicked on for a bold splash of colour. Formulation is good, it’s creamy so it doesn’t last ages, but I like to seal colours this bright in with a slick of Lipcote anyway.

£7.19 from Superdrug
Bourjois Colour Boost in Red Sunrise: another fairly recent addition that made it’s way into my stocks back at the end of July. I’ve always loved lip crayons, but this one is the holy mother. Pigmented, buildable, creamy, SPF, it’s everything I’ve ever wanted, and the colour is just so damn wearable. Love this, but I do find the other colours in the range a bit off for my skin tone.

£7.99 from Superdrug
Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me: My love affair with Baby Lips has been long standing, it was coined in a CVS in a back street of Santa Monica nearly two years ago, and it hasn’t waned. My favourite from the range is Cherry Me, hydration, with a sheer dark pink wash of colour. I love that I can easily apply this without a mirror, when my lips are a little on the dry side, but I want a bit of colour. And so freaking affordable.

£2.99 from Superdrug
Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial: It’s been a rocky road for me and the Rimmel Apocalips. I really don’t like Big Bang, but Celestial and I have become quite good friends. I still don’t like the applicator, but I do reach for this when I want an easy, no fuss, pinky nude lip, that will stay put basically until I eat.
