Hey guys! I hope you're all having a great year so far. Liquid lipsticks are getting increasingly popular, and pretty much every brand has released their take on the popular liquid-to-matte formula. I love them because they're easy to apply neatly, you don't necessarily need a lipliner with them and they stay pretty much all day. They're perfect for going to work or to a gig where you need your makeup to last as long as humanly possible, and you can wear a dark lip without being worried that it's smudged or bled or that you look like you've just dunked your mouth into a blueberry pie. In this blog post, I'm going to be showing you all the different liquid lipstick formulas I own as well as telling you which ones I love the most. Most of these are drugstore or equivalently priced, but some of them are high end!
The first liquid lipstick I ever purchased was an MUA Velvet Lip Lacquer. I used it every single day for about six months and ended up having to purchase a new one. These are foolproof - they stay on pretty much all day, come in a variety of different colours including nudes, reds, neons, dark colours and crazy colours too! I currently have seven in my collection but I definitely have to pick up some more. If you'd like to see a lip swatch blog post of all my MUA liquid lipsticks, let me know!

The first NYX product I ever owned was the Liquid Suede in "Vintage" I was so excited to wear it as the colour was beautiful but I have to say I was disappointed with the formula. I don't think these are marketed as liquid-to-matte which is fine by me but they are so incredibly drying. I only have one but it smudges all the time and doesn't last long at all. I think I've only worn it once or twice and I don't think I will again.

However, a NYX liquid lipstick I can get behind are the Lingeries! I love these, and I have three of them. I love all the browns and the mauves and the nudes in this range and I can't wait to buy some more. These can get pretty dry unfortunately but they don't flake off so I don't really mind too much. The colours are so beautiful that you have to overlook it! I can't wait to get some more of these.

Primark also do great liquid lipsticks! The one I have is the shade "Pink In Excess" which is the furthest colour from pink I've ever seen - it's a really grungey grey-toned nude which I am OBSESSED with. I love a good grungey lip and for the money this is so good. It only set me back £3! I love this lipstick and it's really comfortable too - I definitely recommend giving it a bash!

Sleek are growing massively all around the world after Jaclyn Hill and NikkieTutorials talked about their Solstice highlighting palette. I love their highlighting palette and decided to pick up one of their Matte Me Lip Creams and I love it! The formula reminds me of the MUA one, although the Sleek ones are a little bit patchy. I have the shade "Shabby Chic" which is a stunning mauvey colour and I love it! I definitely want to pick up some more.

When I went to France in August, I went to Sephora and I picked up one of their Cream Lip Stains, which sounds like something along the lines of Benefit's BeneTint, but is actually a liquid lipstick. I got the shade "05 Infinite Rose" and I am itching to get back to France so I can pick up some more shades as this is the most moisturising liquid lipstick I have ever tried. It honestly feels like I'm wearing nothing on my lips! The colour of this is so unique and I have fallen in love.

Collection, one of my favourite drugstore brands in the whole world, also released some liquid lipsticks called the Velvet Kiss lipsticks! I have two of these and I love them. They're not as dry as, say, the NYX ones, and actually feel really moisturising. I'm a big fan!

And finally, the last liquid lipstick formula I own is the Ciate Liquid Velvet. I only have a mini of the shade "Swoon" but it is AMAZING. This is my favourite liquid lipstick formula ever and it's so comfortable. The shade is actually very similar to MUA's "Tranquility" but the formula is so different. The Ciate one is pretty thick, while the MUA one is quite liquidy and personally I prefer my liquid lipsticks to be thicker as I feel like they are more pigmented and opaque that way. These are expensive but in my opinion totally worth it, and they sell them for a lot cheaper at TK Maxx. I highly, highly, highly recommend these!
