The best lipsticks under $5

.. Well in my opinion anyway! If you haven't already heard about these great budget friendly steals then read on!


I first discovered the Ulta3 Matte Lipsticks early last year, and for $3.95 each I have never looked back. These lipsticks have great pigmentation and are true to the colour on the tube. Being matte, the formula is slightly drying on the lips, although nothing that a good lip balm before use wont fix. What has always impressed me about these lipsticks is the staying power, I can apply one of these once and not have to worry about it for the rest of the night - no smudging or smearing with these bad boys! Another fantastic thing about these lipsticks are the packaging! Matte black and simplistic makes them look very 'high end' and would look lovely in anyones collection - No one will know they're $3.95! *wink*


Swatches above left to right: Deep red rose, Plum velvet, Brown sugar, Orange Crush, Sandal wood.

There are colours in the collection that will suit anybody and everybody, I know there's a few pink ones I've got my eye on! Have you tried the Ulta 3 Matte Lipsicks? What do you think, let me know!

  2. These sound fab, we sell them at work but I've never paid much attention to them! Plum velvet looks gorgeous. Haha I love that you've added that they look high end...I only take my MAC lippies when I head out on the town for fear of being judged in the bathroom when reapplying, for using cheap lipstick haha!

    1. They're really good, you must pick one up! :) Haha I'm the opposite, I can't take my Mac lipsticks out in fear of losing them after too many vodkas! haha
