Top 5 Budget Red Lipsticks under £5

Hi there my pretties!

So, seeing as Valentine’s is today, the internet is practically abuzz with all sorts of V-Day makeup look tutorials! Did you know, that the Chinese have their own Valentine’s Day based on the Lunar Calendar? And tomorrow, for the first time in a long, loooong time, the Chinese and English Valentine’s coincide on the same day! Right, trivia for the day done with… time to get to the topic of the day which is budget red lipstick!!

Back to Valentine’s looks, most of these seem to contain that quintessential red lip. Depending on how you pair it with the rest of your look and whether it’s a warm or cool red lip, it can be sexy, dangerous, classy, inviting… you name it. Honestly you can never have too many red lipsticks and I for one don’t think I’ve found my ultimate, perfect one yet but I have found loads of amazing budget ones in my parsimonious quest for good makeup.

This post is for those of you who want to rock that glam, V-day look without breaking the bank 😉

And even if V-Day is not for you or it’s long past by the time you read this, a red lip that you like should always be an essential part of your makeup bag!

Hi Freebie-Lovers!

Anyway, what better to give you some hope on a busy day than a couple of good giveaways!

Now I don’t usually post these because they’re not my favourite kinda freebie, I mean, the freebie isn’t even really guaranteed, is it? But I made an exception because of MUA…

MUA Biggest Giveaway eye trio

Actually, if you’re an MUA fan you should definitely follow them on Facebook because they’re almost always hosting giveaways, they’re an incredibly generous brand when it comes to that! However their giveaways are usually just 50 products, which isn’t a huge lot considering how many followers they have on Facebook (hint: more than 50…).

This time, however, they’ve upped their numbers to 100, that’s twice as much! And that makes it post-worthy 😉
