Essential Lipsticks - £1.95
Seductive - Peachy nude, on the darker side of nude, would look amazing on darker skin but still wearable for all skintones.
Excuse the presentation of Socialite in the image of the lipstick bullet - I pretty much never wear
this lipstick and actually used it for a Uni project that involved
writing with lipstick.. art college 'nuff said lol. The reason I don't
really wear Socialite is because it's full of glitter - the
lipstick isn't showing up as glittery in the swatches as it is in real
life - I personally just dislike shimmer or glitter on the lips, but if
thats your thing then go for it!
Classy - light muted pink. One of my favourites, a very daytime, natural pink that you could also wear at night with a dramatic or heavy eye look if you don't want to settle for a plain nude.
Gypsy - Dark pink with purple undertone, almost plum but lighter and more pink - a great colour to start out with if you want to venture into plums and purples. Also I've discovered this lipstick really doesn't budge! This is my favourite one out of the Essential lipsticks.

Mineral Lipstick - £5.00
Natural Nymph - a straight up NUDE. No pink or peach undertones, just simple nude. Great for fair skin, and an amazing colour to wear with very dramatic and dark make up, I personally wouldn't wear this for daytime as without dramatic make up elsewhere I look very washed out.
Nicely Nude - The name suggests nude, but in my opinion its a light, natural pink. Especially in comparison to Pouty Pink - at first I thought I got the names the wrong way round but nope! I feel this shade should be called Pouty Pink instead. It has slight gold iridescents but is very subtle, you can only really notice it in the tube.
*UPDATE* Sorry guys! I've had a serious blonde moment, Pouty Pink is actually called Runway Pink, I think I've confused this with another lipstick in my collection woops! Regardless I still think it should be called Nicely Nude lol.
Moisturising Lipstick - £3.95
Coral Cutie - Very vibrant, bright coral. Great for spring and summer, however not at moisturising as I'd hoped and is slightly chalky feeling, but I think I just got a bad batch as Flirty & Fabulous is very moisturising and exactly how I expected.
Flirtly & Fabulous - Vibrant orchid shade, this shade has become a staple lip colour for Spring 2014. I love how moisturising yet pigmented it is, and is also long lasting as I find it stains my lips.

Matte Lip Colour - £3.95
Tea Rose - A dusty, antique rosy pink. I think this would look amazing on darker skintones, I personally love it on my fair skin but I think if you are fair then you will either love it or hate it. I find this doesn't go as matte as Rich Red, I would consider this a satin finish rather than matte.
Rich Red - Bright red with blue undertones - staple red that brightens your complexion - see how much more pale my skin looks in comparison to the swatch with Tea Rose!? It applies as a satin finish but becomes matte quickly. It feels dry but not unbearabe, however I haven't experienced any flaking or cracking even when eating. I highly recommend this if you love a red lip as it lasts a very long time and stains the lips so the colour remains long after the product has worn off. I went for a meal wearing this and was constantly checking thinking "it must need a touch up now" but I didn't need to touch up at all!
