Sometimes lipsticks can be a tad drying or hard to apply, depending on the formula.
The magic of liquid lipsticks have managed to hop into my favourites and are now one of the main things i use.
Here are some of the liquid lipsticks that are available on the high street and my opinions on which ones are worth buying.
Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Liquid Lipstick £8.99
These were one of the first lacquers that i bought and definitely in my top three. This collection has lots of lovely colours to choose from and they are all just as pigmented as each other, they have a very smooth, buttery formula which makes them super easy to apply with the angled sponge applicator. They last a reasonable amount of time but not the 24 hours they are advertised to. The brighter colours slightly tint your lips so the colours lasts longer.

Rimmel Provocalips £6.99
This double ended lip combo: both ends with an angled sponge, one to apply liquid lipstick and the other to apply the lip gloss. I have to say the staying power from this formula is surprisingly good however it does make it a little bit drying on the lips if you don't apply the lip gloss before hand to keep your lips moisturised. Again the colours are very vibrant and easy to apply.
L'Oreal infallible 24H Lip Colour £9.99
This lip products are very similar to the Rimmel ones, (it also comes with the lip colour one side and a lip balm the other) however i would choose the Provocalips over this one. as i find the L'Oreal one, although it is a thinner consistency, it tends to dry up slightly and feel a bit sticky.
Although i have not actually wore it for 24 hours i can say there is a chance that is right, as it is a pain to get off which is a blessing but also a curse. A little tip when applying both the L'Oreal and the Rimmel lacquer: if you apply a lip liner before hand i would stick to just lining your lips instead of filling them completely in because it can make the formula a bit thicker and peel off quicker. Also i would not apply a second coat if it starts to fade, unless you remove it first.

MUA Luxe Velvet Liquid Lacquer £3.00
The cheapest one of the bunch (price wise). This is the first Liquid Lippy i bought as this combo of lip gloss and lipstick was new to the makeup world so i thought i would just buy a cheap-ish one to see what they were all about. Although it was a low price it isn't a bad quality product as most people would tend to expect. It has a smooth matte texture and a thick consistency, which can be a little drying without a lip balm underneath which can cause it to flake, other than that it last a lot longer than you would think and they're very opaque.
Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick £6.99
A very good second! Maybelline has bought out a range of very vivid matte colours. This has now been a very favourite lip colour for me, A thick, velvety texture but still very light weight, very moisturising and doesn't dry out like some of the others. It doesn't last quite as long but it doesn't crease on the lips.
So over all i would recommend this one as i love nearly everything about it, although it could have a better applicator as its straight so its a little harder to apply.
Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream £5.50
Lastly my favourite Liquid Lipstick, A great range of different colours, all matte. A lot like the Maybelline ones, these are very creamy, moisturising and pigmented. You get a great shape with the angled applicator and a lovely sleek look that lasts nearly all day. Great quality for a great price. definitely my favourite high street liquid lipstick.
