Everyday pink lippy

Any recommendations for a lovely rose pink or dusky pink lippy? I'm a student atm so small treats are so nice these days but I really can't justify spending loads on a lippy so the cheaper the better, though I realise £5 or £6 is no doubt miles better than £2 - £3! I bought a Boots Natural Collection one and it's like a melted crayon 😕
Nice colour but terrible quality so it's now in the possession of my 10 yo dd!
My colouring is fair & I'm looking for something that would do everyday/for work/out in the pub. Tia for suggestions & looking forward to availing of the collective wisdom!

@disconnected101

Bessica I will definitely at least try the vintage rose for starters - thanks for the colour suggestion, and at that price I'll probably get it as well as Rimmel Asia. So many recommendations for it that I think it must be worth a try.

I certainly could wear my lips 'au naturel and save a lot of money and time.'
I already do go au naturel most of the time. I also love how make up can enhance or completely transform your look, much as clothes do. It's fun! It's not about changing what nature gave you - I'm not a fan of 'fake' looks at all (but each to their own) - or masking or covering up, for me it's simply about adding a wee pop of extra colour. And a browse in Boots / Primark won't take much time or money Smile

Fair comment :)

That's probably because everyone followed this thread straight down to Boots 🤣

Rimmel Asia here.... I’ve got a pic of me wearing it, not sure if I’m brave enough to post though, it’s not as ‘pale’ on.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 30/07/2021 13:56

Post it then delete! I'd like to see it on. Looks a good colour but possibly not cool enough for me.

ParadiseLaundry · 30/07/2021 13:57

I bought Rimmel Asia after reading this thread and I'm absolutely delighted with it!

Birkie248 · 30/07/2021 14:00

Here we go...this is Rimmel Asia I’ll name change after! I’ve got dark hair and blue eyes, quite cool toned. Usually paler as I’m a bit tanned at the moment.

I'll also be looking at the Vintage Rose from Primark next time I'm in, unless you lot all get there first Grin

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 30/07/2021 14:02

Very nice on you Birkie248

LittleBirdBlu · 30/07/2021 14:09

Boots number 7 moisture drench in rose mist, or pink hint are my favourites

Badabingbadabum · 30/07/2021 14:11

I think that Rimmel asia is just what I've been after too! Thank you for posting that picture

66babe · 30/07/2021 15:23

That looks lovely ,
I'm tempted by the Asia myself

ParadiseLaundry · 30/07/2021 15:28

They also stock Rimmel in Savers if that helps anyone. That's where I got mine.

The testers were back too, which was great!

Ah flip sake I didn't even think of Savers! There's one in the shopping centre I was in earlier too. Thanks for the heads up re testers though. Next time! Good aul Superdrug came up with the goods. AND they have a 3 for 2 on Rimmel. I can't resist an offer. That plus student discount = 3 new lipsticks to try Blush So much for trying to be frugal.

Ooh nice! Are you going to post a pic of you wearing them?!

blahblahblah321 · 30/07/2021 18:03

Pink lane looks particularly nice

ParadiseLaundry · 30/07/2021 18:05

Glad you got sorted OP, those other ones look great, I'm going to check those out too!

disconnected101 · 30/07/2021 18:06

The other one just out of sight in my hand is this, but it's an all day matt thing.
The colour's really pretty but matt to my lips is like salt to a slug

Had a quick look in Boots again too (forgot my No.7 voucher though) & both Rose Mist and Pink Hint look GORGEOUS. Rose Berry and Spring Pink are so pretty too.
