My Lipstick Boycott!

Good Evening lovely ladies!

Tonight I thought I'd post about the lipstick boycott that I've recently started. Basically I've always worn lipstick on nights out and for the past year or so I've also started wearing it in the day. I never gave much thought to lip gloss, as if I wanted to go for a more casual look I would wear rose tinted Vaseline. However, my Where's Wally night out last Monday got me thinking...


I was wearing Rimmel's lasting finish lipstick in 175 signature red to match the red and white theme...




I do love the vibrant colour and it does look great when you first apply it (plus it's good value for money!), but the problem is as soon as you eat something or have a drink it certainly doesn't live up to it's lasting finish claim, as some of the lipstick rubs away and your left with an awful looking ring of red around the outer bit of your lips! After having to top up my lipstick after every drink, I decided I was going to boycott lipstick for the time being and see if I could find lip glosses that would be less hassle, but give me the same great vibrant colour and a long lasting finish. I'm also very interested in trying out liptint as an alternative option, as by the sounds of it the colour really doesn't rub off, have any of you tried it? In particular, has anyone tried the new Max Factor Lipfinity Liptint? It looks amazing, but doesn't come in red so I'd have to get it in more casual pink and nude shades.

Do you have the same problem with lipstick? Or have found any long lasting ones that really work? Do you also have any lip glosses you think I should try? 

Hope you've all had a fab start to your weekends!
Love Meg

  1. I always have that problem with lipsticks. Maybe try something like benefits benetint, I think there's a cheap dupe by 2true in superdrug as well.
    It's a red cheek and lip tint.

  2. I have found that the Kate Moss Rimmel lipsticks last a very long time (one of the many reasons I am obsessed with them) I love the pic at the top, your adorable!!

  11. I find Barry M lipsticks are really long lasting,
    but I prefer the colors of Mac lipsticks...
    I just choose to top up every few minutes when I'm out! lol x

  14. Do your first apply lipliner all over your lips and then apply lipstick? This is what I do always and the lipstick stays much longer on your lips.
