The Best of the Drugstore -- Lippies

Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipsticks

Such great formulas available in neutral and everyday shades. The scent is a little 'different' -- kind of plastic-y? But not overly offensive. I actually kind of like it.  The black tubes are a mineral formula, the red is a matte formula. Though I find them to be very similar. The matte, thankfully, is only a semi matte and not very drying at all. Personal favorites? red 101 and black 17

L-R: 01, 107, 101, 101, 17

Flower Cosmetics by Drew Barrymore

A line by the ultimate flower child (Drew Barrymore)? How can you resist? Flower Cosmetics (available exclusively at Wal Mart) carries 2 different lipstick finishes, the High Shines (black packaging) and Velvets (white packaging). Velvets have a super creamy semi-matte finish while the high shines are...high shine! They both apply very smoothly and are very opaque. Super comfortable to wear but I wish they lasted a bit longer. Personal favorites? LS6 Camelia Charm and LS12 Sweet Peony ($6.98 ea)

L-R: LS12 Sweet Peony, LS6 Camelia Charm, Berry Bloom, Black Rose

Wet 'n Wild Megalast Lipsticks

The pigmentation of these lipstick is absolutely a-mazing. And all for $1.98 ea! The color is so opaque and apply super smoothly -- however words of caution, make sure your lips are exfoliated and moisturized before applying because they can be rather drying. But like the name suggests....it is pretty long lasting! Personal favorite? 901B Think Pink and 902C Bare It All

L-R: 918D Cherry Bomb, 917B Cinnamon Spice, 901B Think Pink, 903 Just Peachy, 902C Bare It All 

Revlon

With an incredible range of colors and finishes, Revlon definitely wins the variety award! The Super Lustrous line is definitely my favorite. They are so smooth, creamy and opaque and although not very long lasting, I have no problem reapplying. Not to mention, the packaging is super chic and timeless. Personal favorites? Primrose (you have to own this!) and Sky Pink ($4.99 ea)

Back L-R: 035 Blush, 801 Pink Cloud, 001 Nude Attitude
Front L-R: 668 Primrose, 012 Sky Pink, 600 Doutzen's Nude

NYX

I could not decide which amazing NYX gloss to choose, so I chose both! Hands down the most opaque gloss I have ever used...and such a wide range of colors. Not to mention they both smell heavenly! The butter glosses are bit more opaque (but not my much). Personal favorites? Butter Gloss in Creme Brûlée and Mega Shine in Beige ($4.99 ea)

L-R: Maple Blondie, Creme Brûlée, Vanilla Cream Pie, Merengue 

L-R: Nude Peach, Beige, Sugar Pie
