Budget lipstick

[Soyalatteforme]

I'm looking to extend my lipstick collection and would like to find a long-lasting brand which isn't too drying. Preferably cruelty free. Does anyone have any brand suggestions so I can narrow down the search? Looking to spend less than £20.

Thank You.

£20 on a few lipsticks or one?

MAC all the way if that's your per lipstick budget. Rimmel Kate Moss collection all good for cheapo.

NYX have a great range of types and colours, but I don’t know about their testing procedures.

For the right one, will pay £20 for an individual lipstick.

Believe MAC and Rimmel are not cruelty free unfortunately. Where can I buy NYX?

I like Rimmel. I don't know their ethics. I should.

Superdrug own brand also come highly recommended but I've never used them myself as I live abroad. Also don't know their ethics.

Mac use palm oil in at least some of their products.

The best lipsticks I've found for colour staying power are:-

No 7 Stay Perfect
Max Factor lipfinity
Maybelline Superstay

They can be a bit drying but all 3 come with either gloss or balm to put on top of the colour.

Antipodes

M&S Autograph their cosmetics are really good quality and made in Italy they are part of the Leaping Bunny Programme. Boots No 7 is also good.

ELF are really budget and totally cruelty free. Ditto MUA. (Both from Superdrug).

H&M do really lovely ones - about £6

MUA n 11 is a holy grail of my-lips-but-better.

Compared to your Diors and Chanels (or Cliniques and ELs) it does feel cheaper and more drying. But for about a fiver....The Bourjois ones in the black packaging are good too for the price.

I thought Bourjois were not cruelty free?

MUA is the brand from Superdrug I couldn't remember the name of. Delighted to hear they're cruelty free. Will definitely be checking them out when I'm next shopping in the U.K.

The Rosie for Autograph ones are good and they have the leaping bunny. I love the lip glossys (chubby sticks) and the lipsticks.

Revolution in Superdrug are brill, and cruelty free. I picked up one of their lip kits for £6 which is a definite rival to Kylies. Their lipsticks are lovely and less than £5.

At the risk of being a twat...£20 for one lipstick is budget? Holy smokes. What do others pay?

On a more sensible note - I don’t find body shop reds drying and have good staying power. Needs a liner though.

Urban Decay
KatVonD

DD is the lipstick wearer , she says KVD wears better and has a better formula but UD has better colours.

I love the UD cases, brushed goldy/silver with a nice click when you close it.

About £15 and Cruelty Free.

Looks like I need to head to Superdrug and M&S! I forgot about ELF, thanks for the reminder. I think UD I can get at John Lewis and I have vouchers for there, so that's splendid. I do love a good closing 'click'!

Appreciate everyone's input. Lotsofplanets - £20 isn't really budget is it, you're right. I hadn't factored that as high end - was just trying to narrow things down in case (as I've seen happen), I was provided with suggestions which were way out of the ball-park.

I really like the Urban Decay creams but the “matte” ones go flaky on me after a while. My favourite is an orangey red called bang.

Barry M are cruelty free and vegan and surprisingly good, although it can depend on the colour - I have a dark purply one (I think it’s 175 in their colours) and it’s wonderful, lasts really well, but then a pink shiny one (173?) which needs reapplying every hour.

Hourglass?

Cheers soya! Hope you find something really lovely - great that there are such a broad range of suggestions.

Anastasia Beverly Hills are great.

I love Huda Beauty liquid lipsticks, though all the lipsticks are cruelty free, I don't think the entire range of products are.

Thanks,Lotsofplanets. I'm spoiled for choice. I'm hearing that a lipstick shopping day is essential! I wish!

mildshock where can I buy Anastasia Beverly Hills? Thank you.

Kiko are cruelty free I believe and huge range of formulations and colours

Thank you, think they're at Superdrug too, so that will be my first stop I think.
