The Best Lipsticks for Every Budget

If you are a lipstick lover like myself, you know that they can get seriously costly! This list is an overview of the lip products in my collection based on unit price. Comparing unit prices is a great way to determine whether or not a product is worth purchasing because it takes into consideration both the price and the quantity. Although it may seem like similar tubes contain the same amount of product, when you look at the unit price, you can determine exactly what you are paying for in terms of the amount of product that you are getting. For this particular list, I excluded glosses and multi-tasking products, such as RMS Beauty Lip2Cheeks and Vapour Organic Beauty's Aura Multi Use Sticks, and focused strictly on lipsticks and highly pigmented tints, crayons, and balms.
