'My Lips But Better' lipsticks...

I used to wonder what the point of wearing lipstick similar to your natural lip colour was, but over time I have acquired a few of these MLBB shades! They're perfect for when you don't have time to think about which lipstick to wear or just to give a bit of extra colour to your lips.

Here are my picks...

Maybelline Healthy Rose 

According to MUA, this is discontinued! Such a shame really, these lipsticks feel like butter (even better!) when you put apply them and have no smell/taste. This one is a regular in my handbag because it adds a hint of healthy pink to your lips and complements most makeup styles. The lasting power isn't bad either! If you see one on Ebay, I'd highly recommend it.

Revlon Demure

A very creamy and moisturising lipstick with a slight peachy tone. This one also has no smell/taste and the packaging makes it look fancy. I'm a huge fan of Revlon lipsticks and this doesn't disappoint!

Rimmel Birthday Suit

I've mentioned this one before and it's a great caramel toned lipstick. It has a vanilla scent to it and can be a bit dry on the lips as it's supposed to be a longer lasting formula. I'd say it lasts around 4 hours. This one is slightly frosted (you can't really tell from the swatches) which I don't mind.

Boe Beauty Birthday Suit

I wonder where they got the name? Once you get over the flimsy packaging, the lipstick itself is pretty decent. I bought this one as a cheaper alternative to the Rimmel version of Birthday Suit. This is a nude toned  peach colour with no frost. It has a very mild scent that reminds me of plastic...in a good way? But it's not noticeable on the lips. This one is very smooth and creamy, great value for a $2 lipstick.

Revlon Berry Smoothie

This one featured on my pink lipsticks post, but I simply adore this shade so I threw it in again! A lovely berry pink that can be built up to be brighter. 

If you asked me to pick a favourite, I don't think I could! Do you own any of these shades?

Pink Pout

Inspired by a post by Stephanie from Luxury on the Lips, I decided to showcase some of my favourite pink lipsticks too.

MUA Shade 7

This is a peachy, salmon kind of pink that has a hint of coral. It's a fairly wearable colour, but I find it can be a little light for my skin tone. As with all MUA lipsticks, the texture is creamy and moisturising with a vanilla scent. I don't find it to last that long but hey, it's so cheap that I don't mind.

Rimmel Vintage Pink

This is more purple than pink. I don't wear this shade often, but I still think it's a beautiful colour.  I think this has blue undertones to it. I love the smell, it's like a vanilla-cake smell. It feels great to wear on the lips, but doesn't last as long as the Lasting Finish lipsticks. Not a huge fan of the tacky packaging either. 

Clinique Pink Moon

A super pigmented bright pink. This contains tiny shimmers that look amazing when applied to the lips. It has no scent and glides on like a dream. In terms of formula, this is probably my favourite of the five. While the colour is pink, it has a slight hint of berry-ish tones. 

Revlon Berry Smoothie

I love this colour so much! At first I was a bit intimidated by how bright it is, but it looks gorgeous. It's not as pigmented as the others (probably because it's not a true lipstick) which is great as it allows you to build it up. This one also has no scent, it can feel a little grainy to apply but it looks amazing. 

MUA Shade 3

BAM pigmentation! One swipe is all you need for a bright burst of fuchsia  This colour is stunning, but certainly not one I could wear every day. In fact, I'm yet to build up the courage to wear it somewhere. But even if I never wear it, that's okay because I only spent $1 something on it.

Do you own any of these shades?
