I'm so excited for you guys to dig into this post of mine today, because it took me forever to get all the pictures, so I hope you love it! Yes, it will be a picture heavy post! (My fav!) As many of us beauty lovers out there know, near the end of 2014 to now 2015 has definitely been about the liquid lipstick. Liquid lipsticks are amazing in so many ways. The easy application, the long wear, the colour pay-off. This is one trend I am following and one I am definitely in love with. Today I will be talking to you guys about my top 5 favourite liquid lipsticks. I have a few drugstore and a few higher end ones so anyone can easily enjoy these awesome products!
My Top 5 Liquid Lipsticks
I'm glad I pulled out my photo light box for this photoshoot because it made such a huge difference. This was my first time using my light box with my new camera. If you're interested in making your own light box for photography, I made a video a couple months ago that you can definitely check out if you have the time! I chose these 5 products because they were my favourites out of each brand, and also they all have one strong point in why I love them. I'll go into detail about each brand as well!
If you're looking for an affordable drug store liquid lipstick, you MUST get your hands on this. For $8-10, I don't know how Rimmel has done it, but this stuff does not budge all day. The colour is extremely opaque, and it isn't drying because you can set it with the lip balm applicator.
On the lips:
Pros: It lasts all day! You can eat even the greasiest food and it won't go anywhere.
Cons: There's only 10 shades, and a lot of them aren't that great. I hope they plan to expand the line!
Check out my full review here.
Full face:
Similar to the Rimmel Provocalips, this liquid lipstick has the same concept with the lip balm applicator included. These ones run a bit more pricier than the Rimmel, $13-14, but has the same amazing all day wear.
On the lips:
Did I tell you how much I adore this colour? It's such a pretty mauve/pink. I feel like it's almost grey that it makes me look kind of dead, but I don't care, I love it.
Pros: Lasts all day. Has a huge variety of shades.
Cons: If you over apply this product it can separate or start to flake, so be careful! A little goes a long way!

My review of the other shades I purchased can be seen in this review.
This was actually the first liquid lipstick I owed surprisingly. From the last time I remember wearing this lipstick, it looked a lot more coral in my Too Faced Cosmetics Brand Spotlight post. These liquified lipsticks come in 18 different shades for $25 each. I believe they are also coming out with a new line of shades that are metallic too!
On the lips:
I guess the lighting in my old room was way yellow/orange, which threw off the true colour of the lipstick. Surprisingly, I love this lip colour even more now! I'm usually not a huge fan of magentas and bright/vibrant pinks, but this one looks awesome. I like how it makes me look a bit more tanned too!
Pros: Very comfortable on the lips, easy to apply with squeeze tube and precision tip applicator.
Cons: Takes very long to fully dry.
Full face:
I will definitely be seeing this shade more in the Spring/Summer!
I think this one has got to be my most favourite out of all of them. It isn't the best formula wise, but it's the best feeling on your lips. It dries super fast without sucking out the moisture, and it stays on all day. The Stila liquid lipsticks run for $29 and come in 10 beautiful shades.
On the lips:
Rimmel's "Play with fire" is a perfect dupe for this shade. If you're not willing to splurge on this one, you always have an equally as good, cheaper alternative!
Pros: Dries instantly, feels amazing on your lips.
Cons: Pretty pricey! I want to collect all the shades but at that price, maybe not.
Full face:
How can you not love that shade though? In person I feel that Stila's "Fiery" comes off as a more deep blood red than a bright red like Rimmel's "Play with fire". Still close enough that it could be a dupe!
Available in 20 stunning shades for $20 each, these were the most sought out liquid lipstick everywhere on the internet. Everyone wanted and still wants to get their hands on these babies. To be honest, they are super opaque and gorgeous, but not very long lasting. You can see my full review and the other shades I picked up here.
On the lips:
Pros: Very vibrant, opaque colour.
Cons: Takes long to completely dry, a bit of difficulty applying on nicely. Does not last when you're eating/drinking.
Full face:
Love how vibrant purple "vintage" is. I feel like it's a very similar shade to MAC's "heroine".

In this photo you can see that Stila "fiery" is a tad darker than Rimmel's "play with fire. L'oreal's "neverending nutmeg" almost looks similar to Lime Crime's "cashmere". Rimmel and L'oreal were the two quickest drying, followed by Stila, Anastasia, and Too Faced being last. I can't really say that Stila is the best, because they all have good and bad qualities about each of them. They're all amazing in their own way, and it's all up to what you're looking for in a liquid lipstick!
Do you love liquid lipsticks? What's your favourite brand/shade?
