I'm back wth another review of a reasonably priced product. Ok that's an understatement this is a cheap product but not in quality.
Whilst the packaging isn't something to Instagram about the savings certainly are.
Priced at £1.99 each these lip sticks are something you can treat your self to mid month when pennies have already been spent on bills and boring stuff.
These are also pocket money friendly, great for those just getting into makeup.
The colour range is predominately natural, there are some dark browns and reds but mostly you will see pinks, peaches and light browns.
The whole range is priced at £1.99.
There are tinted moisturiser, concealers, powders, blushes, bronzers, eyeshadows, glosses, mascaras and liners. I remember being at high school and having a whole makeup bag from here, for under a tenner. At times they do 3 products for a fiver.
I have always viewed this brand as products for teenagers. Mainly because of the price point. Plus it's what I used 10 years ago.
However, the gap is closing in the cosmetic market. I've seen YouTube videos of pre teens contouring and rocking a dark lip. They are copying more mature makeup and badgering their parents to buy the next UD Naked palette so why can't we use their cheaper products ?
Whilst I am not going to swap my NARS foundation for natural collections tinted moisturiser, the lip sticks are certainly something to stock up on and add to a kit.
They are lightly scented, moisturising and pigmented. They offer a traditional lipstick finish. No matte or velvet options here. The packaging is quite boring just a white plastic case. They case isn't the strongest, I've had a couple over the years crack in my bag. The staying power is much the same as a regular lipstick. Eat and drink and it will go. But for £2 I'm not that worried. Plus I'm a bit over the liquid lipstick trend which can leave your lips looking dehydrated and flakey. Some call it An@s lips I prefer - cats bum. Let's not carry on.
I've got loads of these which I've melted in to a palette. It's one way of taking 10 colours every where with you and for under £20 I don't mind melting them.
If you need a lipstick to always leave at the office or you want to try some different colours give these a go. At £1.99 it's cheaper than a Starbucks and it will last longer.
