Vamp it up - Winter lips

1 - Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte in 107

2 - Revlon Super Lustrous in Black Cherry

3 - Revlon Matte lipstick in Really Red

4 - 17 Lasting Fix in New Black

My top four drugstore lipstick picks for the winter, of all four my favourite is the Revlon black cherry, perfect super dark red not too pinky/purpley which i think dark lipsticks tend to be (including the kate moss 107). Black cherry wears really well, you can't feel it on your lips really and it doesn't come off onto your glass when your drinking. Bonus. However, i love them all dearly.

So for christmas my lovely mother bought me two set's of the millie mackintosh for nouveau eyelashes, i got the soho and portabello and the portabello is definitly my favourite, i wore them on christmas day because i had a wedding to go to and in all the rush i didn't manage to take a picture so i will do that at some point. Last night i wore these for new year and i thought they looked really good, they are a tiny bit more glamorous and big than i would usually wear (that's why i like the portobello so much, they're quite feathery and natural) but for nye i thought they were absolutley fine! I really like the fact that they come with a pair of tweezers to apply and the glue dries quickly. They are really lightweight, you can barely feel them on your eyes which is really good because usually i can't wait to take my eyelashes off when i get in from a night out, and although i personally wouldn't; you can actually wear them when you go to sleep because the glue is eye friendly. If you stick them back in the box before you go to bed they can be reused and i've checked both pairs of mine and they look as good as they did when i first opened them which is good because sometimes i go back to reuse some eyelashes and they look all gross and mangled. ANYWAY, i really really like these lashes and i'm definitely thinking about buying some more, not even just the millie one's the nouveau lashes all look so nice and £8.99 is a good price i think when they come with the mini tweezers and glue especially when you can get a few uses from them!

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS :)  

 

   

 

Revlon Really Red

 

Revlon Really Red - Boots £7.49

Hey Guysss, so i recently picked this lipstick up from Boots whilst browsing for a perfect red lipstick due to failing at choosing a 'really' red lipstick when previously purchasing a lipstick of the red variety. (blaaa)  In other words, i have never really found the perfect true red. One of the failed red colours i purchased before and hated is the Kate moss first collection lipstick in number 12, this was too orangey and bright for my skin i felt. Soo, after trying this Revlon Matte lipstick out for an 8 hour shift at work what i found was the following...

Pigmentation: 10/10 - One swipe application.

Wearing time: 10/10 - It literally lasted me all day, i didn't NEED to touch up.

Feel: This lipstick is a matte lipstick so obviously has no moisture whatsoever, however, i found that it didn't dry out my lips, instead just felt as though i wasn't wearing anything.

Overall: Perfect red lipstick, it's not too bright, not too dark, long lasting, inexpensive and highly pigmented. I will 100% be trying out more of this matte collection. 

I will post a full face (:|) photo of me wearing this lipstick at some point but today i was slightly hungover and therefore unable to do so, but this little cut out mouth does the colour no justice (against my yellow skin :\ hmm.) 

 

     

Friday #5 Things...

1. Tom Ford Black Orchid perfume - £85. I've wanted this perfume for soo long, the only reason i haven't got it is because of the price. I'm not prepared to spend that amount of money on a perfume that i don't really think is 'me', my favourite ever perfume is Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf which i've been wearing for a few years, Black orchid is nothing like the usual scents i go for e.g. Vera Wang Princess, Marc Jacobs Daisy and Flowerbomb but i just love the smell of it when i'm walking past the Tom Ford perfumes in Selfridges.

2. Revlon Photoready Airbrush - £12.99. My mom bought this foundation today and it's so lovely, it's a mousse foundation but it's a lot more runny than other foundations like Maybelline dream mousse, the consistency is quite thick when your rubbing it in but the finish feels so silky and soft. I would say it's medium coverage, it has a matte finish with a tiny bit of glitter, it feels moisturizing without the dewyness. Im deffo purchasing this when my Rimmel 25hr runs out!

3. Check shorts from h&m - £19.99. Saw these shorts at work the other day and i loved them, I think they look really autumny, Going to buy these tomorrow if my size is in stock.

4. Amber knitted scarf from h&m - £7.99. Going to order this scarf online because i havent seen it in store, love the colour of it, i think it would look good with the shorts, black tights, loafers, an off white shirt, a blazer and a huge tan bag.

5. YSL Rouge Volupte in Peach Passion - £23.50. Really want this lipstick for the packaging more than anything, i think it looks classic. The colour is also lovely, it's a peachy nude pink which goes on creamy and is really pigmented.
