Top 5 Drugstore Lip Products

Today I'm back with a brand new part in my Top 5 series and that is all about my favourite drugstore lip products. If you know me I love wearing different lip colours so I have a lot but I've chosen just five. I have talked about these a lot on the blog so some of my favourites you can probably guess!

Collection Lasting Colour Lipsticks- These are slowing becoming my favourite lipsticks and I'm building up a collection. You can get them in a matte or sheer formulas and I have 1 sheer and 2 mattes, personally I prefer mattes. They last for a really long time and are not drying on the lips, even the matte ones. The colours I have is Paper Rose (Matte Nude), Cupcake Pink (Sheer, Barbie Pink) and Pink Diva (Matte, Darker Pink)

Miss Sporty My BFF Lipsticks- I got this lipstick free when I spent a certain amount on Miss Sporty and if that wasn't the case I wouldn't have got it but I'm really glad I did. It's a really pretty light berry colour which is really moisturizing and easy to apply because of the shape. I only have 1 shade of this lipstick type but I really want to get some more as this one is really nice.

Barry M Lipsticks- Everyone has talked about the Barry M Lipstick in Pillar Box Red so I picked it up as I wanted a gorgeous red shade and this has become my go-to red lipstick (I haven't even used my Clinque Colour Pop red lipstick in ages as this one I prefer and it cheaper. It's very moisturising and is the perfect red shade which you can wear in the day or at night.

Technic Lip Crayons- At Christmas I got a set of Technic lip crayons and lip glosses and fell in love with the lip crayons but not so much the lip glosses. These lip crayons are one of the best I've tried as they're long-lasting and have a really good colour payoff which to be completely honest I wasn't really expecting. They're everything you want from a lip product and they're cheap- win win.

Maybelline Baby Lips- Yes I know these are lip balms but I really like these and the Baby Lips Electro (the one with the black packaging) have a bit of colour and I do really like using these as they give colour on a day when I don't want too much colour (obviously not when I'm writing this as I'm wearing a bright pink liquid lipstick). I wear these a lot because I want my lips to be moisturised and my lips do get chapped a lot.

I really hope you enjoyed another part for my Top 5 series. My last one was a Top 5 Current Songs so check that out if you haven't already. I will be doing more in my Top 5 series and let me know for some ideas of what you want to see.

Top 5 Jess Glynne Songs

Recently I made a Top 5 Little Mix songs so I thought I should do a Jess Glynne version as I also really like her and she's my favourite female solo artist. So far she only has 1 album out, I Cry When I Laugh, which I do love so it's my favourite songs from there.

Take Me Home- I remember featuring this is My 2015 Playlist and I'm still loving it as it's a beautiful song. It was also the official Children In Need  single which I was so happy about but sadly it wasn't played that much on the radio so I don't think it reached it's full potential sadly.


Saddest Vanilla ft. Emeli Sande- Another beautiful song off I Cry When I Laugh is a song about ice cream and breakups but I still love it and I know it sounds weird with my description but I definately recommend you to listen and it also features Emeli Sande who I hadn't heard anything from in a while.


My Love (acoustic)- This song was released as a single by Route 64 but it wasn't acoustic and as much as I like that song I do prefer the acoustic version as it seems more real and showcases her beautiful vocals which go really well with the song and the stripped back version.


Gave Me Something- Onto the more faster songs firstly we have Gave Me Something which is just a really nice not too fast song but a catchy one which you will want to have a little dance to and start singing which I have learnt from experience so believe me I have knowledge in this song (I have no idea what I was saying then).


Hold My Hand- Lastly we have Hold My Hand which you probably will know as it was really big in early 2015 and a popular song on the radio and one you all will have sung and danced to. This song is really catchy and I really like it and I remember it really well being really popular.

That was my Top 5 Jess Glynne Songs even though I really like them all For more of me follow me on Twitter (@_louisecarter_) and Instagram (@thelipstckinsider) where I post a lot of updates.
