My New Love: LIPSTICKS

Hello ladies!! I know I said next post would be Cheddar Gorge but I want to, on Fridays, do a make up post!! So Fridays are for make up kiddies!!

Today I will be talking about lipsticks! I only have 9 right now, but I think I have bought three in three weeks (might buy another one next week to make it an even ten, 9 doesn't sit right with me ;D ). My main love at the moment is MUA lipsticks!! I love MUA (Make Up Academy) stuff, and I said to myself one day, Kitty, you are gonna collect everything MUA that you will use!! SO I started with the lipsticks, of which I now own four!! Here is a picture of all my lipsticks firstly:

MUA lipsticks on the left, NYC lipstick in the middle, Avon lipsticks then Clinque lipsticks

If I count my GOSH lipbalm I could probably make it ten haha!! So here is the line up of my lipsticks!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 2

This is one of my darker nudey shades, one I bought to match my GOSH lipbalm colour in fact. I would call this colour a plummy pink colour and I love it, I think I swatched it on my lips recently but I am not sure! If you do want swatches please do ask!!
Consistency: Creamy and feels moisturising but not sure if it is. It doesn't dry out my lips though
Colour: Plummy pink
Smell: Like all MUA lipsticks, it smells surprisingly nice. A almost sweet vanilla smell.
Taste: Haven't noticed a particular strong taste or bad taste
Longevity: Last quite a while, but after eating or drinking can fade.
Price: £1!!
Where to buy?: I buy mine from Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 I give it this score as the only thing is it doesn't last as long as I like but apart from that its brilliant value for money!! Credit crunch make up!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 6

I needed something MLBB so I went to my local superdrugs on a hunt!! I think this was the second MUA lipstick I bought, looking for something nudey pink so I could wear it with heavy eye make up. I love this shade as it gives my lips that omph without looking OTT!!

Consistency: creamy and non drying
Colour: Light nudey pink
Smell: MUA's sweet vanilla smell
Taste: no specific strong taste
Longevity: not too bad, but not brilliant
Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 I love this colour to whack on when I am wearing intense eyes, as its a lovely nude colour, like my lips but better!! Its ever so slightly shimmery but not major. Brilliant value

MUA Lipstick Shade 8

I actually bought this lipstick yesterday!! I haven't had a chance to wear it yet but I might do it today!! Its such an intense shade and I love it on my lips!!

Consistency: creamy and non drying
Colour: darkish red with a shimmer
Smell: sweet vanilla
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: don't know yet!!

Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: can't really rate this one yet as I haven't worn it!!

MUA Lipstick Shade 12

This was the first MUA lipstick I bought, looking for a muted down shade of my NYC lipstick. Its a lovely pink shade with glittery  sparkles in it that show up on my lips and leave a nice effect.

Consistency: cream and non drying
Colour: brightish pink with sparkly bits
Smell: sweet vanilla
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: decent enough for its price

Price: £1
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 Again, the only reason the MUA lipsticks arn't perfect is their longevity!!

NYC Lipstick in 405B Blue Rose

I was looking for a bright pink shade one day, to be daring and I found this lovely colour!! I have to wear it on a brave day but it does look perfect on me once you get over the shock of the colour!
Consistency: creamy but a bit drying
Colour: bright pink with blue undertones
Smell: slight lipstick smell (do you know what I mean by lipstick smell?)
Taste: no particular taste
Longevity: I was amazed by the longevity of this lipstick. It keeps on going for ages and ages, and I talk and eat a lot!!

Price: £1.99
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 The only problem is its a bit drying on my lips but apart from that its great value for money!!

Avon Lipstick in Vintage Pink

My mum got this lipstick free when she bought something from Avon (under my encouragement) and decided that the colour didn't suit her (shes dark skinned as my Grandad is Pakistani always tanned the lucky woman) so she gave it to me, what a shame :D
Consistency: its quite a hard lipstick but goes on nicely
Colour: I can only describe it as a nude red. It is a pinky red but not too intense, but it looks good!
Smell: I always thought it smelt lovely, like parma violets!!
Taste: don't taste of anything
Longevity: lasts a very long time but fades after too much drinking and eating

Price: £6.50
Where to buy?: From an Avon representative or the website (see below)
Rating: 4/5 is a good lipstick, but can get a similar performing lipstick for cheaper

Avon Lipstick in Frozen Rose

I don't remember where I got this, I believe it was last Christmas and its a lovely nude colour, but I use it sparingly as it can be a bit too pale for my lips depending on the make up I am wearing. It has lovely gold undertones so is quite a warm shade! Avon no longer sells this lipstick though
Consistency: smooth not too creamy
Colour: a light pinky shade with golden undertones
Smell: smells a bit sweet but with a tiny sawdust smell
Taste: no strong taste
Longevity: lasts okay but does fade after eating and drinking

Price: not sure as no longer sold
Where to buy?: no longer avaliable
Rating: I give this a 3/5 as it was probably expensive but doesnt last long and has a slight bad smell

Clinique Different Lipstick in Rose Taffy

I wanted a expensive lipstick just to see what they are like!! Luckily my uncle works for Este Lauder so I got these for Christmas :D I went into Debenhams first though to check my ideal shade, which turned out to be this lovely nudey pink!
Consistency: creamy but ever so slightly greasy
Colour: nudey rose pink colour with shimmers
Smell: classic lipstick smell
Taste: tiny bit of a taste but unnoticeable mostly
Longevity: lasts as long as you expect it too, very good longevity!

Price: £14.50
Where to buy?: Debenhams and online
Rating: 4/5 I don't like the lipstick smell and the slight greasyness but apart from that you DO get what you pay for in longevity and colour!!

GOSH Soft'n Shine lipbalm in Perfect Plum 34

Every now and then I splurge on some expensive drug store make up and most of the time the splurge is on GOSH!! I do love GOSH make up but its a bit pricey for me!! But I saw this and wanted to try a tinted lip balm!! This works quite well on my lips and it is very pigmented!
Consistency: creamy and greasy due to the moisturising
Colour: lovely plum colour
Smell: it smells like the lovely sweet tic tac smell :D
Taste: tastes a bit like tic tacs too mmmmmm
Longevity: lasts quite long despite it being greasy but does get wiped off by food

Price: I think I bought mine on offer for £6.50 but its around that price if not it
Where to buy?: Superdrugs
Rating: 4/5 If it lasted long too it would be perfect!

So this quick blog post on lipsticks turned into a very long blog post xD Appreciate it :P I am off to get a bath!! I will answer all comments over the weekend, I promise <3
