Hi all,
I have been loving a variety of lip products this summer. But a few have really stood out for me and I keep going back to them day after day. Sooooo, I thought I would share these favourites with you!!!
MAC Lipstick - Pink Pearl Pop
I love Mac lipsticks, and there are so many colours I wear all the time, but this one has really stood out for me. This colour is so gorgeous and is the perfect shade of pink. It borders on the line of being wearable for the daytime and nightime, and it is so pretty! I love the smell of this lipstick and it isn't too drying as it is a creme sheen finish. I have been really liking to wear this in the day time with simple eye makeup, but it also serves well as a brilliant lipstick for a night out!!
Topshop Lipstick - Saint
I adore this lipstick! Not only is the scent delicious, the finish/texture of it is so creamy. This is a perfect day to day lip colour - it's very nude/ with a slight hint of pink. It is super hydrating and leaves your lips looking healthy and natural. I have been liking to wear this to work for a simple look, but I think this lipstick is so versatile it also could look great on special occasions with a smoky eye.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream - Tokyo
This is such a girly lip colour that I have been loving to wear in the day time recently. The texture of this product is so creamy and really not drying at all. And the smell....OMG - delicious!! But this is really a proper nude pink, and it borders on the line of being too nude but if you blend it in well enough it really does compliment the shape of your lips. I have had a lot of compliments wearing this recently and it seems to go with any makeup look too!
Rimmel Apocolips Lip Lacquer - Celestial
Everyone knows about the apocolips lip laquers and everyone has a favourite. Mine just happens to be this one. Although I'm not that keen on the scent - it's like a mixture of plastic and watermelon! I love the finish this product gives. It gives the intensity of a lipstick, and the glossiness of a lip gloss. As you can see the pigmentation of this is amazing and it lasts such a long time. The colour is a dark pink/purple, and is perfect for nights out and special occasions!
ELF Mineral Lip Gloss - Pageant Princess
This is by far my favourite lip gloss out of my whole collection!! I literally love this gloss so much and it such a beautiful flattering colour. It looks perfect on it's own and over the top of a nude lipstick. I have been loving this for day to day wear and it is my go to gloss. It's a product that I will make sure I'm stocked up on because it flatters my lips so well and really makes any bad makeup day look great!!
Hi all,
So today I've been to good old Boots. I only went to pick up a couple of essentials, but £52.33 later, I exited the shop.... It's all ok though, it's my pay day today and I've had a week off work on holiday so I thought a little treat was much needed. Most of the products I picked up to try out, but I also got a couple that I needed to restock on.
Boots had 3 for 2 on certain skincare products, so the next three items was what I got in that offer.
Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Lotion - £2.99
I have been looking at getting this lotion for a while, as I love Vaseline products, as well as anything with a cocoa scent! My skin is always quite dry so I wanted to get a new lotion that can help, and hopefully this one will. Seeing as this was the cheapest skincare product out of the three I got, with the 3 for 2 deal it meant I got this for free. But even still, at £2.99 it is really cheap.
Palmer's Gradual Tanning Moisturiser - £5.35
I have heard many great things about this gradual tanner for a while now, and again seeing as it's cocoa scented, I jumped to buying it. This is something I have decided to give a go, as I haven't used gradual tanners for a long time and I've heard it gives you a really nice natural glow. I do like fake tans, but I've liked to have my skin more natural recently because it's so dry, so I think this will be great because it will give me a glow and moisterised skin as well.
Vichy Idealia Cream - £22.00
Now this is my pricey purchase of the day, however I do love this product. I first tried it in a Glossybox and immediately fell in love with it. I used it as a daycream to moisterise my face before applying my makeup. It left my skin feeling soft and refreshed, plus the smell is gorgeous - it smells like raspberries! It's not too heavy on the skin and makes you feel awake, so I finally bit the bullet and got it despite the price. But the sample I had lasted such a long time, so I expect this will too.
Bourjois Bronzing Powder - £5.99
Everyone seems to rave about this bronzer, so again this a 'try-out' product as I'm a little bit fed up of the bronzer I'm using at the moment. I like the packaging, I think it looks cute and you can get this is two shades so I got the slightly lighter one. It smells nice too which is always good!
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - £3.99
So many people seem to use this powder so I thought I'd give it a go. I am currently using the Natural Collection loose powder which I do like, but I felt like a change. And everyone raves about how good this is, so at the price of £3.99, I would be silly not to give it a go. I got it in Transparent as I don't want a powder that will take the colour of my foundation away. I think this will go nicely with my Mac studio fix fluid.
Loreal False Lash Flutter Mascara - £10.99 each.
I LOVE this mascara. The only downside being that it isn't exactly cheap and it doesn't last long at all. Loreal had a deal on some of their mascara's, 2 for £15. So I thought I would save my self some money in the long run and pick two up now, that way I'm all stocked up! I do love this mascara though, the brush is amazing and it really seperates your lashes. It makes your lashes look amazingly long, almost like they are false. I prefer this to the benefit they're real mascara, it's that good!
Hello all, time for another review!
This time it's about the much hyped product by Rimmel London, Apocalips Lip Laquer!
As many of you will know, Rimmel has just released the lip laquer's that have been much hyped about before their release! Many well known beauty guru's on Youtube were sent this product to review before it's release date, and it received good reviews! Having seen many of the reviews and liking the look of this product, I had to get it!
I ordered mine off Boots website, as I knew the demand for these bad boys would be huge, so I grabbed the colour I wanted while I could! Retailing at just over £5, they are not the cheapest product, but I really do think the quality of them is great so that defiantly makes up for it! They are almost like the Collection 2000 cream puff lip creams, but a little bit more moisturising. I really like the consistency of the product, as it goes onto your lips so softly and easily. Plus they have a decent colour range to choose from.
I got mine in the shade 'Celestial', which is a pretty pinky purple. (Excuse the poor photos, taking pictures at night is never a good idea!!)
Overall I think this a fantastic product that has defiantly lived up to the hype it's got surrounding it! If you want to check out a good video for swatches of all the colours available, check out Dollybowbow's channel as she has recently done a brilliant video showing all the colours.
