I've been working on this for the longest time haha. The only thing is I've been too lazy to do a whole lot of lipstick swatches but yay I did it, even if my lips were hurting at the end :P I was actually inspired by a post by the lovely
Karima a while back to go through my lipsticks & see how many are actually similar.
Please look past the messy application, the closeups were mainly so you can see the colours. Unfortunately not all are as accurate as what I would like =/
For most of these lipsticks I will link them to when I've used them in FOTD's so please check it out so you can see what it looks like with other makeup & full-faced!

Depending on how much you apply, in flash lighting it can look hot pink, especially with the lipgloss on the other end of the tube. I used it in this FOTD here. |

This is a really pretty satin-y light pink with buildable colour. Used in the first FOTD here.
Last FOTD in this post and here too. This doesn't apply too nicely on it's own unless you apply, blot & repeat until it's opaque but looks nice layered over other lipsticks like what I've done here (second look) & underneath a nude lipgloss here As the name suggests, a milky pink colour. Used here, here & hereAlthough it doesn't look like it, this is (again, in the name) a light matte pink that is super pretty, I used it here but with lip balm so of course it again doesn't look matte lol. Oh & in the 2nd FOTD here tooMedium PinkOf course they all have to turn out looking the same, but in fact they pretty much are. I would not be able to choose which ones to remove from my collection though, if I had to downsize! Maybe y'all will be able to see a difference? I wont bother describing these because its so repetitive.

Used here Lighting does not do it justice unlike in this FOTD & in this night look. Although it looks red, *apparently* I used it hereUsed in the first FOTD, which is really accurate. But depending on the lighting sometimes it looks a lot corally or pink.

Addis Ababa.A super bright, fun pink! Used here.
Definitely a fave! It looks totally different depending on the lighting. Love it when it looks neon! Used here, here, here, aaand here (this was actually easy to find in my posts, everything else has been a pain!) Gorrgeous matte pink! Used here.Hot satin pink! Used ( although warmed up with coral) in this ombre lips look, and here.Usually looking more matte, but a hot hot pink. I swear I would have used it in a post before but I cannot find any for the love of god.Fuschia L-R Elizabeth Arden Lipstick in Pink Punch, Revlon Colorburst in

Spellbound, BYS longwear lipstick in
Flirty Fuschia, Ulta3 lipstick in
Harem pink, Rimmel Lipstick in
Shocking Pink A really sheer frosty fuschia.One of my faves, an easily buildable lipstick for a light or heavy application. Used in this first FOTD Creamy pink that usually looks hotter than this. (maybe I should have put this under a different category haha) Hot pinky- fuchsia Matte hot pink. Haven't used this in ages but dug it out just in case anyone is looking for a colour like this.
One of my faves, a really dark fuschia pink that looks good in different ways. Used here, Here (truest to colour)Thanks for looking, I know a lot of the swatches are very similar, and I'm sure I could easily downsize my lipstick collection, but they would be too hard to choose!!
Also if I had to choose my top 5 pink lipsticks, here they are (in no order):
MAC Viva Glam Nicki (no competition, really!)
Rimmel Shocking Pink
Sleek Amped (or Milani Rosehip, hard to choose between these)
Revlon Candy Pink
Nyx Addis Ababa
P.S in no way is this going to stop me from buying more colours :P
