Do you wear expensive lipsticks or not?!

[Appuskidu]

Do you think it’s worth spending a bit more and which brands do you recommend?

Since the heady days of Coffee Shimmer, I have always used a ‘colour me beautiful’ lipstick which I really like and lasts me ages, but everyone at work keeps raving about MAC so I thought I’d treat myself! Is it worth a punt? Or are there better makes out there??

One of my favourites was a Clarins one (the bastard that stole my bag is probably enjoying it right now!). I also occasionally buy Dior. I have some Estee Lauder and Clinique and one or two Lancome ones but really I also love Rimmel and have a few M&S ones too which I am also happy with.

I think MACs colour range is fantastic but the quality is similar to drugstore. Guerlain is good but super pricey and Charlotte tilbury also feels worth it. Marc Jacobs always make my lips really dry. I've never tried NARS or illamasqua.

I agree with above that YSL are also very good and NYX is top notch for half the price

Oops! Sorry, didn't realise this was a zombie

My most expensive ones were about £10 but I've had cheaper ones that were just as good - it just depends on who's making the exact colour I want at any given time.

My new favorites are Laura Mercier, the velour lovers ones, they go on a bit suedey feeling and are slightly powdery, but I like that, I like the look they give.
