Lipstick lipstick lipstick.

A couple of days ago my second semester university bursary went into the bank, or to put it more clearly, a couple of days ago I decided treating myself to new lipstick was justifiable. I bought four new products - two of the new Bourjois Rouge Editions, a Rimmel Apocolips (finally!) and a Sleek true colour lipstick. I decided to post about the new products, but also include a few of my other faves.

Faves - Topshop, Bourjois, Sleek, Revlon.

Left to right; Sleek True Colour in Vamp, Sleek True Colour in Barely There, Bourjois Rouge Edition in Violine Strass, Revlon Color Burst in Macaroon, Topshop in Rio Rio, Revlon Super Lustrous in Black Cherry, Bourjois Rouge Edition in Pretty Prune, Revlon Color Burst in Tutti Fruitti, Revlon Just Bitten in Frenzy, Rimmel Apocolips in Celestial.

#1 - Bourjois Rouge Edition 18 Violine Strass - The new Rouge Edition lipsticks have received great reviews so I couldn't resist checking them out and buying a couple. I was initially unsure on this colour as I don't often wear pinks, but it's actually really wearable. The lipstick itself is gorgeous - super pigmented and yet really moisturising, almost like a balm. I definitely don't think I'll be able to resist getting a couple more soon!

#2 - Revlon Color Burst 015 Tutti Fruitti - If you'd have told me a couple of years ago I would have bought and wore a bright orange lipstick I would have laughed in your face. But yet this was my go to lipstick last summer. It's advertised as a lip "butter" which is the perfect way to describe it - it's light, moisturising and smells delicious. I do think this is definitely one for the warmer months though!

#3 - Revlon Super Lustrous 477 Black Cherry - Heavy pigmented, super dark purpley lipstick. Again, I would have never thought I'd own and love a colour like this. Great for a vampy, dressed up look.

#4 - Topshop Rio Rio - Lovely orange toned matte red. 

#5 - Sleek True Colour 786 Vamp - This is another I just bought - it's the perfect dark red that I've been looking for. Whilst I love the Topshop Rio Rio, because of the orange tones it's more suited for summery months and this is perfect for colder weather. It can be applied once or built up to a super dark colour.

#6 - Sleek True Colour 776 Barely There - Old favourite, and not as orangey as this picture makes out. It's a very natural peachy colour that is perfect for everyday wear.

#7 - Revlon Color Burst 096 Macaroon - Another lip butter, this time in a lovely dusky pink. The tutti fruitti was just so light and easy to wear that I couldn't resist buying more.

#8 - Bourjois Rouge Edition 14 Pretty Prune - Another newbie, and possibly my favourite. Dark, deep plum colour with a brownish tint. I think I'll be getting a lot of wear out of this one!

#9 - Rimmel Apocolips 101 Celestial - I FINALLY managed to find the Celesial shade in stock and so obviously had to buy it. The Apocolips are great - they apply really easily, like a gloss, but dry on your lips like a stain and the staying power is AMAZING. I've been wearing it earlier and am actually struggling to get it off. I need more of these as soon as I feel I can justify it.

So there we go, lipsticks galore. And I already want to buy more, especially more shades of the Rouge Editions and Apocolips - they're just so so great! What are your go to lipsticks right now?
