My Top 5 Lipsticks // High End

Hello Darlings,

Today i thought i would put together a little post about my favourite high end lipsticks. I have to admit lipsticks are my weakness, if a new collection comes out normally the lipstick is what gets my attention! The lipsticks included are all different shades of nude, from brown, to rosy to mauve.  I find pinks, coral and most reds tend not to suit me. 

Firstly two Mac lipsticks, Mac is one of my favourite brands for lipsticks, i've built up quite a collection so it was hard to choose just two. But the two i chose were Mehr and Velvet Teddy, two great nudes. Mehr is a mauve toned nude and Velvet Teddy is a brown toned nude. Both matte but super comfortable on the lips.

Calvin Klein in the shade 'Underwood' is a light brown nude, the palest out of the selection here. Its a great everyday colour for work. Its a very creamy formula, not matte more of a cream sheen. 

Next up is my only NARS lipstick, in the shade Pigelle, its the darkest shade here. Its red-ish nude, very flattering and wearable dark nude. I think this lipstick would suit all skin tones. Again its a matte lipstick, drier than the Mac lipsticks, but with a balm underneath its very comfortable. Is there any other NARS shades i should try?

Lastly Anastasia Beverly Hills lipstick in 'Buff' i got this in TKMaxx last year. This is such a beautiful colour lipstick, this is a rosy brown, a really wearable colour. Applies smoothly, high coverage and very comfortable on the lips. They have a great shade range so i will be looking at purchasing more in the future. 

From L or R: 'Mac Mehr', Mac 'Velvet Teddy', Calvin Klein 'Underwood', 'Nars 'Pigelle' and Anastasia Beverly Hills 'Buff'

I'd love to know have you tried any of this lipsticks? 

What are some of you favourite lipsticks?

A nude for the Winter // lip of the week #32

Hello darlings

Do you have that one lipstick that goes with every look, every outfit, every season? For me its my Calvin Klein Nude Lipstick, in 'Undressed'. I remember i purchased this from Fragrance Direct at the beginning of Summer. It cost £3.95, sadly no longer on their website. But if you type it in to Google you can find other places to purchase it. But it has become a stable in my makeup bag and i thought i'd share it with you and i'd love to know some of your stable lipsticks?

The packaging on the Calvin Klein lipsticks are beautiful, although as the bottom half of the lipstick is a soft material it does tend to get grubby quickly as you can see in the picture. But its well made, sturdy, i've doped it a couple times and it survived. This is a gorgeous brownish mauve nude. Its a very subtle colour, very similar to my lips, but just adds a little colour, makes them a little deeper. Its perfect for this time of year. Its very pigmented as you can see from the swatch on the back of my hand. Its glides on to you lips with little effort. Very creamy and smooth, not scratchy or drags at all. Its not a matte its more of a satin finish. Which is perfect for me, it doesn't dry my lips in the slightest. Its long lasting an fades beautifully without living weird patches or the line around your lips. 

I'd love to know have you tried any of the Calvin Klein lipsticks?

My Current Favourites // July 2017

Hello darlings!

Can you believe it is already the end of July! What? Where is this year going? I can't believe Isaac is now 5 months old. I haven't done a favourites post for a while as i feel i'm not using enough different products month to month to fill a post and to make it worth reading and i don't want to just put products in a post for the sake of making a post. So i'm just going to do them when i feel like i have something i really want to share with you guys.

Botanic Eye Serum: i reviewed this in my previous post (link) this has been my favourite skincare product this month, i haven't put it down! I use it in the morning before i put on my makeup, i have always found putting a eye cream under on before your concealer it make sit last longer. I also put a lot of before i go to bed, i really smoother it on! The product is great for reducing my dark circles and frown lines, its one of new holy grails. 

Calvin Klein Lipstick in 'Undressed': this is one of the best everyday lipstick i own and it feel a little special as its a high end one that i got form less than £4, to find out how (post). The packing is so cute, i love the feel of it, it feels expensive. The product smells wonderful, like Mac lipsticks but stronger. Its pigmented and glides on the lips beautifully. I think this will definitely be making it into a lip of the week soon, so look out for that one! 

Makeup Revolution Contour Palette: Who doesn't own some sort of contour palette from Makeup Revolution? They are so amazing, you can see i've already hit pan on the highlighter shade. I wear the highlight daily, i provides quite a strong highlight so you might not like it if you prefer more subtle sheen. I try to wear a light contour as much as i can but lets be honest who has time, especially with a 5 month old, can i get an amen from the mummy bloggers out there....

Nuxe Rev De Miel: This is a luxury lip balm, its so creamy and smells wonderful, like oranges, mmm just thinking about it makes me want to put it on. I wouldn't recommend wearing this as a everyday product, its more of a mask that is best applied at night or as a treat during a pamper day/evening.  

*** New Instagram***
