Inexpensively Chic

As everyone may know I am the queen of frugal. I love trying out new lipsticks and I am always picking up something from my local beauty supply or drug store. Here are a few of my favorite cheap lipsticks as well as my favorite ombre lips. Each of these lipsticks will be rocked this Fall so be on the look out!

All of these lipsticks were under six bucks

One thing that I have mastered has been the ombre lip. This trendy trend is something that I am COMPLETELY in love with. I receive a lot of complements about it and some people even believe some of the products I use to be MAC. Don't get me wrong I LOVE MAC but Mac isn't always friendly to my pockets, plus there's nothing like a good dupe. Dupe- a cheaper version of a high end product. 

Lip Number 1

In order from top to bottom left to right Swatch shows
Maison, Honeycrisp, and Dark Brown lip liner by NYX,


NYX Maison MLS14 $5.99

J Cat Beauty Honeycrisp FL107 $1.49
NYX Lip Pencil Dark Brown $2.99 




This neutral lip is one of my favorites and can be worn as an everyday look.

Lip Number 2 

You can always wear a lighter color in the fall paired with a darker lip liner


Instead of using a lip liner for this look I mixed two lipsticks.
You must first line your lips with the darker lipstick or pencil. Then you want to rub your lips together to smear any harsh lines. Next you want to fill in the rest of your lips with the second lipstick of your choice and smudge your lips together once again. You can add more lipstick until you get your desired look.

Picture 3 I added my second lipstick of my choice,

NYC 320 Mahogany $1.99
NYX LSS629 Power $3.99 

Lip Number 3


This look looks similar to lip number 2 but I used a lip liner instead and a pale pink lipstick.
Mac Lip Liner Vino $16.00
J Cat Beauty Lip Stick FL102 Mulberry $1.49

This is a perfect example of what I like to call a high low look. I paired my Mac lip liner with a cheaper beauty supply store lipstick.

Lip Number 4

Now this is one of my FAVORITES!! That's super evident I barely have any left, I must find this exact color soon.
NYX Bruised LSS555 $3.99
I Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOOOOOVE this color. The deep rich intense purple is everything a girl needs in her collection for the Fall.
This can easily be worn as a day or night look. For the day I would just do a serious eyeliner, maybe a bold eyeliner, maybe a pinup style. Something along those lines. As for night I would definitely do a smokey eye. Contour my face a little bit and do a serious cheek.

Lip Number 5

Who wouldn't like chocolate after seeing this color?
Black Radiance 5117 $1.74

Lip Number 6

This Oxblood colored lipstick is to die for it matches my leather motor jacket perfectly.
Wet N Wild 918D Cherry Bomb $2.99
I would probably pair this with a dark lip liner to add a little more contrast to the color.This is one of those lipsticks that are perfectly fine without lip liners it is definitely up to the person. Cherry Bomb is one of those lip sticks I just throw on.  

 


Lip Number 7


This burnt orange is a must have in your fall collection. It matches the beautiful leaves perfectly. 

Wet N Wild 970 Purty Persimmon/Reflect Orange $2.99
NYX Dark Brown Lip Liner $2.99

These are just  couple of my favorite inexpensive lipsticks I own. Always remember fashionably chic doesn't have to break your pockets. 

With Love,
