Top five pink lipsticks under £10



I LOVE LIPSTICK AND PINK.  So pink lipstick is a Holy Grail item. I’m going to show you five of my favourites that are really affordable at under £10!



No.1 No7 moisture drench lipstick in Water lily
A fabulous pink lipstick, and possibly my all-time favourite, is the one on the left. The formula is really pigmented, creamy and moisturising. It’s a beautiful slightly peachy light pink with a touch of gold shimmer, but that’s not noticeable on the lips. On on darker skin this might be too light and look a bit odd, but it is perfect for mid and light colourings. I have really pale skin with neutral undertones and this just works. It brightens up my face and is an awesome my lips but brighter colour. At £9.75 it’s not the biggest bargain, but I will continue to repurchase this FOREVER!

No.2 No7 sheer temptation lipstick in Lovely
Can you tell I have a bit of a thing for No7 lipsticks! This formula is much sheerer and like a gloss in a lipstick, similar to a tinted lip balm. I also prefer the packaging to the moisture drench, although it doesn’t have as much stain element and so doesn’t last as long on the lips. This colour looks quite scary in the bullet, like a dark plummy pink but on the lips it sheerer and more subtle. It’s a brilliant wearable lipstick for autumn and winter if you don’t want to go all out with a really dark purple. It’s the same price, £9.75 and I’ve gone through one already.

No.3 Bourjois glossy finish lipstick in Red Sunrise
This one of those handy crayon type lipsticks and is really moisturising, glossy and claims to be waterproof. It definitely lasts a long time and I like to blot it down to make it more matte as it is quite a bright colour, a sort of reddy pink. It is a great statement shade. I can find that if I don’t blot it down it can bleed outside my lips. The colour range in this lipstick is lovely.  At £7.99 I think it’s a pretty good deal.

No.4 The Body Shop colour crush lipstick in shade 15
This is another bright shocking colour that I LOVE for spring and summer. I wore this every day when I was in Greece. The formula is amazing as well. It’s sheer, but very buildable, with a little gloss and really balmy. It reminds me of the Avon shine attract lipsticks, which are now discontinued L, but less shimmery and more pigmented. This is £10, so only just made it in but I think this is such an amazing colour and formula, it’s worth every penny!

No.5 Rimmel lasting finish by Kate Moss lipstick in shade 08
This is a pretty, slightly mauve pink, with a creamy, pigmented formula, that really lasts! It’s not the most brightening or interesting, but it is a great everyday ‘my lips’ colour. This is the most affordable at £5.49. I’m not a huge fan of the packaging, but it’s a good budget option.

I really hope you found this helpful!
