Lipstick Obsession 1 - Saffron Lipsticks

So I have had a tough week at work and when I have a crappy week I shop. Unfortunately with the new house and the trip to America I’m trying to save as much money as possible so instead of clothes or expensive make up I buy cheap lipsticks to keep myself happy.

My first buy of the week was on Monday. I was searching the internet not really looking for anything in particular and me being as skint as I am I decided to type ‘cheap lipsticks’ on Google. I eventually, after looking at about 10 different websites and none of them caught my attention, I found a website called Mix Match Make Up (here). At first I thought it looked poor and pretty much all the items look like they’re not the best quality but then again, that’s what you get when you type cheap lipsticks. So I gave it a go and had a look through their lips section and I came across this brand called Saffron. They have a whole range of 36 different colours and they’re only 95p. I then looked at the postage and package and it was something ridiculous like 30p so I decided to give it a go and buy two.

To my surprise they arrived the day after I placed the order. The lipstick does look quite cheap and its pure thin plastic but you can’t expect much more when you’re only spending 95p.

The first thing I noticed was the smell of it, they smell so yummy! Then I tried them on. Yes, ok, they’re not the greatest of lipsticks but for less than £1 it really does the job. I wouldn’t wear it on a night out or if I’m going for food, but I’d definitely wear it to go shopping or for a walk in the park. It lasted about 5 hours which I think it’s great for such a cheap lipstick. Would I buy more Saffron Lipsticks? Probably if they maintain the same prices. Are they good lipsticks? Like I said, they’re not great but again for this price they are well worth it. I think they’re better than other popular cheap lipsticks such as £1 MUA.

I will be posting about the other three I bought soon :)

Have you ever used Saffron Lipstick or any Saffron make up? Whats your favorite ridiculously cheap brand?
