I tried 6 cult lipsticks to see which are best value for money – a £5 buy beat Boots’ £11 one

AS an avid lipstick fan, I have around five lip products in my bag at all times . . . and loads more tucked away at home.

But I’ve noticed how some last for ages while others are gone in weeks – even though, from the packaging, they all seem around the same size.

Here, I look at eight lipsticks costing less than £10, weighing them to see which are the best value, and giving the cost per gramme of each.
