Hello, Lovelies! Happy Monday!
Today I want to talk to you about 5 Drugstore Lipsticks that I've been obsessing about! Oh yes, I love me some fancy high-end makeup now and then, but in total honesty, so many drugstore brands carry really good lipsticks that have nothing to envy to the luxury ones. But yes, drugstore ranges are not always consistent, and some brands are a bit of hit and miss, so it takes a lot of try and error to find THE ONE. So, here I am doing the job for you! I introduce to you 5 really amazing options to have your lips on-point without breaking the bank! I'll talk about the brands H&M, Essence Cosmetics, Gosh Copenaghen, Maybelline New York and Cover Girl!
Let's take a look.








H&M Cream Lipstick #24 "Cream Chestnut"


H & M Makeup was a great discovery a few years ago and I must admit ONE particular from their lipstick range is in my purse and I reach for it every single day. It is from their Cream lipsticks range and in the color "Cream Chestnut". Let me tell you my extra dry chappy lips just love the creamy formulation, which is so soothing! The colour is a beige nude with a hint of rose that is like "my bare lips but better". It is super easy to apply, I often do it without a mirror, is definitely clumsy-proof application.  If H&M decides to discontinue this colour I will be so sad!





Essence Cosmetics This is me Lipstick #03 "Bold"


Two years ago the Geman brand Essence Cosmetics launch their line "This is Me" and they hit all the right buttons! The formula is semi-matte, but creamy and easy on dry lips. It is so easy to apply, and you never get it wrong! I also apply this one without a mirror without problems!
For its creamyness, it is also quite long-lasting, which I appreciate. The range of colours is so good, they are all "nudes" for different complexions, and the one I use is #03 "Bold" a beigey-nude super flattering and appropriate for every occasion. I've used up and repurchase the same colour and also a darker one that I love too!





Gosh Copenaghen Velvet touch lipstick #122 "Nougat"


I've tried matte Gosh lipsticks in the past and I wasn't impressed. But recently I decided to give it another chance but this time getting a creamy lipstick from their range in a beautiful nutty-beige and I am in LOOOOVE! It is so soft, and creamy, easy on the lips, it goes with every makeup colour I wish to put on my eyes and it is sooooo comfortable! It hydrates the lips, but it is not tacky, or oily, in facts it feels dry to the touch. I guess that's why they call it "velvet touch"?  It does need some precision to be applied, so definitely not one I can do without a mirror. It also feathers a bit on my upper lip, but let's be honest, most lipsticks do, because you guys, I'm not getting any younger! Luckily, it is nothing major, and it is not noticeable unless you come up rrrrreally close.





Maybelline NY "Color sensational" Cream lipstick #642 "Latte Beige"


Oh boy, am I in love with the sheen on this beauty! Maybelline lipsticks are always a good choice. Their Colour Sensational range is so vast you are sure to find your happiness and I fell for this colour called "Latte Beige" that to me looks nothing like a latte or like beige, but it is soooo freaking flattering! This one, practically applied by itself. It does not migrate into fine lines, it does not emphasize my dry lips and it is a bit moisturizing as well. It has a sheen that I find so chic, this one is perfect for the office AND for a first date too! 




Cover Girl Exhibitionist Ultra Matte lipstick #680 "The real thing"


Cover Girl has recently launch a new Lipstick range called Exhibitionist, of which Katy Perry is the face. I promised myself I was going to pick just one colours from this range because so many people was raving about it. As I already have all the nude and everyday colours I need, I decided to pick the red one, just let me tell you: The hype is real!!
These are matte lipsticks with very long-lasting power (but not 24 hours as it's said) but the formula is simply light as air! It does not dry out my lips or emphasize my already dry lips, I simply don't feel I'm wearing lipstick at all! I'm so impressed by it, I'm of course tempted to go back to the store and buy more colours! I will restrain, of course... but if you were needing new matte lipsticks super comfortable to wear, easy to apply and ultra long-lasting, THESE are the ones you were looking for.
