Stargazer very kindly recently sent me a selection of their products to try out. When I opened my parcel I was immeadiately drawn to the two lipsticks I was sent; Well, who wouldn't be?! I received a Lipstick* from their regular line in the shade 138, a fairly deep pink with subtle shimmer and a Matte Lipstick* in shade 207 which is a vibrant baby pink.
The first lipstick I tried was from the regular line; I was a bit sceptical as I've never gotten on with lip products with a shimmer. It sometimes can look childish on me. The product applies a tad rough, dragging on the lips a bit and it does takes a couple of applications to get coverage yet it doesn't build up to be completely opaque. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful shade however not one I'll find myself reaching for often.
The matte lipstick impressed me a little bit more. It applies easier (surprisingly) than the aforementioned lipstick and gives a fully opaque finish after a couple of applications. On me, it looks like a typical 'Barbie' pink, not something I'd usually go for but it's still beautiful! I think I could learn to love this colour if I wear it with the right outfit however it's not the longest lasting of lipsticks as it does begin to fade after only a couple of hours.
Even though these aren't absolutely amazing, for £3.50 you can't majorly fault them. I feel that if they changed the formula around a bit and added sturdier casing they would be a lot better! I suppose you can't always win, but a decent effort from Stargazer! What are your cheap, go-to lipsticks? Let me know in the comments below!
*These products were sent to me free of charge & for my consideration. All opinions are honest & completely my own.
I really love the shade of the second one! I quite like Stargazer but do agree they could improve the formula a little to make these really good products!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite cheapie lipstick is definitely Rimmel :)

DeleteThis is the first time I've read/heard about this brand lovely, the colours look lovely on you - you really suit pretty pink shades sweetie! For a cheap lipstick it sounds like a good go-to, I swear by MAC lippies but if I want a cheaper buy, I'd go Barry M or Topshop :)

Thanks! xxx
DeleteThese colors look amazing!! I am really liking the shade 207 on you! I don't think this brand is available in Canada because I would love to try this one up! As you said the price isnt too high so it would be worth the try! For cheap lipsticks I like to go for L'Oreal ones as there are many nice colors!!
