Top 5: Drugstore Lipsticks!







Hey lovelies! I decided I would start a top 5 series, as I love reading them, so wanted to share some of my top products with you. I am splitting them up into categories and highstreet/drugstore and high end, as it would be way to hard to narrow them all down into a top 5! So today, I am starting with my top 5 drugstore/highstreet lipsticks!

L'Oreal Rouge Caresse 'Impulsive Fuchsia'. I have spoken about these lipsticks before and this has to be my favourite colour from the ones I own. It is a bright fuchsia which is so, so glossy on the lips and leaves a gorgeous finish. I lovvee the packaging, it almost has a high end feel about it and the formulation is lovely! This retails at £7.99, which I think is a great price! My full review of Impulsive Fuchsia can be seen here.

Elf  Lipstick 'Nicely Nude'. This is from the eyeslipsface mineral line and is my favourite highstreet nude. Its that 'my lips but better' in colour and has an almost matte finish when first applied, but when built up gives the slightest gloss finish. It is really pigmented and I think this shade would suit all skin tones aswell as work well with both a dark and nude eye! This lasts for ages on the lips and is a bargain at £5.

Miss Sporty Perfect Colour Lipstick 'Innocence'. I have owned this for ages now and is one of my most worn lipsticks. (as you can see I have nearly finished it!) It is a light, bright, but wearable pink that looks lovely for a night out, or even to add a pop of colour in the day and I love how this works against my dark hair. It has slightly sticky feeling on the lips, but not in a bad way, this means it stays on for a long time. I'm not actually sure if this shade is still available, as I bought this so long ago, but the range is definitely worth checking out as they are only £2.59 each!

Revlon Lip Butter 'Sweet Tart'. These lip butters are very popular and I for one love them. Of the few that I own Sweet Tart is my fave. It is a lovely bright pink with a slight berry under tone, which makes it so wearable. They are very similar in formula to the L'Oreal Rouge Caresse lipsticks, although I would say the Lip Butters are creamier. It is so moisturising and leaves a lovely glossy finish. Lip butters retail for £7.99. 

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain 'Rendezvous'. Revlon have been bringing out some amazing lip products recently, firstly Lip Butters and then these! So, i'm slightly cheating with this one as it isn't exactly a lipstick, but I love it all the same. Rendezvous is a bright coral colour which I lovee and is the dupe for the Clinique Chubby Sticks. I love the crayon packaging and how it applies. It can be softly worked onto the lips for a sheer wash of colour or built up for a intense bright lip. I have done a full review on this, which you can check out here. The Balm Stains retail for £7.99, although they are on offer in Boots right now for £5.99!

Hope you enjoyed this post! Feel free to leave requests on which top 5 you would like to see next! What are your top 5 lipsticks?

Barry M Nail Paints

Left-Right // Mint Green// Cyan Blue// Peach Melba
Left-Right  // Pink Silver Glitter// Silver Glitter // Black Multi Glitter


I have been routing through my nail polish collection recently and trying to use some of the high street buys that can sometimes be forgotten about in favour for the more expensive brands. In doing this, I have rediscovered my love for Barry M Nail Paints and have been wearing them a lot over the past month or so. 

I love how affordable they are (£2.99 for a 10ml bottle) and the huuge range of colours in the collection, from brights to pastels, in different textures and styles such as glitter and magnetic. 

I have six firm favourite colours from Barry M which I wanted to share with you!

Mint Green- I love pastels for this time of year, and this is a perfect green to brighten up any outfit. This is actually one of the only greens I will wear on my nails.

Cyan Blue- A bright sky blue which looks lovely with a tan. This colour works beautifully along side the 'Silver Glitter'.


Peach Melba- A very popular peach colour which has been one of my favourite pastels for over a year now. This looks so lovely with a tan and is perfect for day and night!


Silver Glitter- A clear polish with dozens of small flecks of glitter running through it. This has been my 'go to' glitter polish since last Christmas! I love it and think it has the perfect amount of glitter for either a full silver nail, or a glitter finish over another colour. I also love doing a scattered effect with this polish.

Pink Silver Glitter- The pink version of the 'Silver Glitter' polish. A clear varnish full of pink, silver and light purple glitter flecks. 

Black Multi Glitter- (Can you tell I love glitters!?) A glossy black polish with lots of multi coloured flecks of glitter running through it. I love this colour for a night out and a bold statement on the nail. 

These polishes are so pretty and are great quality for only £2.99!
You can pick up Barry M in most Boots or Superdrug's.

Which Barry M polishes do you love?
