The BEST inexpensive alternatives for ya LIPS ... muah*

Each makeup look requires a different lip color, which can lead to an empty wallet.  However, I have found some excellent drugstore lipsticks that are under $8!


This is MAC in Neon Orange
First, the orange lipstick craze!  The look has been seen on Kourtney Kardashian several times.  An orange lip is hot for the spring and summer.  It's perfect with a smokey brown eye or a glam cat eye.  Therefore, I had to buy orange lipstick; however, I didn't want to break the bank.  I went to my local drugstore and searched the makeup aisle until I found it! Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Siren, 677.  The color is vibrant and very orange.  It's creamy and easy to apply.  I suggest applying a nude lip pencil with Siren - red is too bold.  

$7.99 at Rite Aid.

My next favorite find is Wet n Wild MegaLast Lip Color.  I stumbled upon this lipstick while watching a youtube video.  The artist applied this color in 901B.  Therefore, I searched every local drugstore until I finally found it.  It's only $2.99!! I had to buy several.  The color stays on and is super moisturizing.  However, the tabs on the Rite Aid shelf that show what the color will look like are completely incorrect - so buyer beware lol.  So far, I purchased 901B and 907C.   



901B is a vibrant light pink with blue undertones.  It is absolutely perfect for my olive skin tone when I pair it with a dark, smokey eye.  I think Lady Gaga's first Viva Glam lipstick is a similar pigment.   

907C is a vibrant, magenta/purple color.  It is very comparable to MAC Up the Amp.  This inexpensive alternative is perfect with a bronze/gold eye.  

For $2.99, these lipsticks are the best deal around.  The product is exceptional and the price is too perfect.  I suggest everyone to try one color for the collection.  I plan to buy another one soon :).
