Spring Lips

At this time of year I tend to stop wearing darker lipsticks and start leaning towards nude and light colour lipsticks, I have added a lot to my collection of lipsticks recently and most have been perfect for Spring so I picked four to show you which I have been wearing constantly. Also the swatch on my hand from left to right is; Too Faced Lipstick, YSL Lipstick, Mac in Blankety and Mac in Velvet Teddy.


MAC | Blankety
This was a lipstick that I got for my birthday and at first I didn't think that this colour would suit me at all because its so light but I was surprised to find that I loved it! It is a Amplified Creme Lipstick so is a very creamy and moisturising formula which is lovely for this time of year and the colour is a gorgeous light pink colour.


MAC | Velvet Teddy
Velvet Teddy is a very popular shade of lipstick from Mac and I love it to, its slightly darker than the rest of the lipsticks but is still a lovely matte nude for spring time.


YSL | 9 Nude In Private
I have never bought from YSL before and this was a very quick purchase from duty free so I was a bit nervous that I had wasted my money but I was very pleased because the colour is a nude pink shade (a little more pink than anything else I own). But the best thing about this lipstick is the formula because it is so creamy and goes on your lips so easily.


Too Faced | Nude
When I first tried this I didn't like it very much and I found that it didn't last for long at all but I have recently started using it again and I love the colour which is a perfect nude for spring and how easy it is to apply.

I love all of these lipsticks and recommend all of them to you although they are all on the pricey side I think it is worth it for the quality you get and they are great for the Spring and Summer months.

My Top 3 Festive Lipsticks

I feel like it is finally the time of year to bring out those red and dark pink shades. I find red lipsticks are so easy to wear and can be casual for the day or spice up a look for a night out. I have a reasonably small collection of lipsticks but I have chosen my three favourites to wear at this time of year to share with you.


Mac Satin Lipstick - Twig
This lipstick was the first ever lipstick from Mac I bought, I find myself wearing this all year round but it is especially nice this time of year. It is a lovely dark pink/red shade, this shade is also perfect for anyone that wants a dark lipstick but isn't confident to wear a red or a really dark shade.


Clinique Lipstick - Cherry Pop
I got this with the Glamour magazine very recently and it is such an amazing lipstick! It is a very bright red shade that I think is perfect for Christmas.


Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick - 107
I got this lipstick after hearing lots of good things about it and I love it, for a drugstore lipstick it is great quality and the colour is a lovely deep red shade, I will be definitely be wearing this on Christmas Day!


So those are my top three favourite festive lipsticks, I have just finished wrapping all the presents for Christmas and now I can't wait. Only 5 more days!!

Mac Twig | Review

 

The other day when I was out shopping with my lovely friend Hannah (Go have a look at her amazing blog) and I went and picked up my first ever lipstick from Mac! It took me a while to decide which one I wanted (because for £15.50 I wanted to get it right!) but I finally decided on the colour Twig.

Twig is a lovely pink/brown nude shade, but it is a little darker then some of the other nude lipsticks I own, which I was a bit worried about at first, however it is very moisturising and the colour is rich and stands out more than other lipsticks. I think this shade could suit anybody and any skin tones. I also love it because I dont feel its to obvious so its a brilliant lipstick for everyday use.

I have fallen in love with this lipstick and I can't wait to try out some more Mac lipsticks/products. They have such great colour ranges and there products are such good quality.

Revlon Laquer Balms

The other day I went shopping (expect a haul pretty soon) and I picked up these two beauty's from Boots as I have heard really good things about this product. They are £7.99 which I think is a reasonable price for something like this but every now and again they do offers (at the moment there is a 3 for 2 offer in boots).


Lacquer balm in Vivacious (120)
This shade is a dark pink colour and is definitely more for people who are confident in wearing bright shades on your lips because personally I find this a bit to bright for my liking. Although it is still a lovely shade.

Matte balm in Elusive (205)
I love this shade a lot, I think its a lovely shade of pink that gives your lips a bit of colour but not over the top bright it is also matte which I really love because it makes your lips less bold and bright. Overall its just a lovely colour.


The only thing I could fault with these is that the colour doesn't last for long but maybe that's just me? But these balms are lovely colours and I cant wait to try some more of Revlon's lip products.
