Charlotte Tilbury // Travel Sized Pillow Talk Lip Kit // A Lock Down Treat.

 Hello darlings.

How are we all doing? How are you spending your lock down? We've been doing house reservations and work on the garden, or at least trying with a toddler and newborn! I've also been more inspired to write blog posts, so hopefully you will see a few more from me from now on. I've also noticed my follower count has gone up by quite a few, hello everyone! Thank you for following.

Can you believe i'd never tried anything from Charlotte Tilbury, i know a blogger crime. But i have always thought its quite expensive and that maybe its overrated? But the products look so luxurious i really wanted to try something! I thought a good item to start with would be the famous Pillow Talk lipstick as everyone and their mother seems to have it and enjoy it. The perfect nude that suits all, or so it claims... When i saw they now had a travel sized version that also came with the lip liner with the same name that was only £20 i thought it would be a good way to test it out before buying full size.  

I ordered the travel sized as it was £20 for both the lip liner and lipstick, which is a pretty good deal as on its own the full size lipstick is £25 and the lip liner is £17 which would set you back £42 for the pair. Another reason i chose the travel sized was because how often do you finish a lipstick and liner? Plus it will be good to keep in my handbag, especially smaller bags for nights/ dinners out. Remember those?

The packing is beautiful, really luxurious. The lipstick is very old Hollywood glam which i love. Considering i purchased the mini i'm glad it has the same packaging as the full size. The lipstick scent is a subtle vanilla which is quite nice, reminds me of the Mac lipsticks.

The formula of the lip liner is really nice, very creamy and easy to apply. The pigment is really good. The swatch on my hand lasted all day which was impressive. It also feels very comfortable on the lips. 

 The lipstick is just as creamy with good colour pay off although it sheer at first can be built up and lasts a long time on the lips. It feels much more dry on, i know its matte but i have other matte lipsticks that are a little more comfortable. Its not very uncomfortable but you can feel it on your lips, but over a lip balm its much nicer. But by putting it over lip balm makes it not as long lasting. 

The shade is a pretty pinky nude colour, its more pink than i was expecting. I had read it was suppose to be a universal 'your lips but better'. I looked at swatches online and was expecting more of a nude than a pink, but none the less its pretty and it makes it a little different that my million other nude lipsticks! (Its more pink on the lips than it looks her on my hand.) The lip liner is slightly darker more what i was expecting.

I spent i think the minimum you could on the website but i still got to choose 2 samples which was really good. I chose the Full Fat Lashes Mascara and Lipstick samples which i am excited to try! 

Overall i'm happy i purchased this little mini set but i wouldn't buy the full size lipstick, after using these samples i might see if there is a colour a little better suited to me. But i really like the lip liner and once its used up i'll look to buying it full size.

You can buy the set here 

I'd love to know have you tried this lipstick and lip liner?

Revolution Life On The Dance Floor Lipstick in Stiletto. // Review.

Hello darlings

I thought i would pop on here quickly to let you guys know about a lipstick i just haven't stopped wearing the last few weeks. Its one of the lipsticks from Revolution's Life On The Dance Floor range in the shade Stiletto. I bought it in the sale for £1.50 but full price its only £3. 

I love the packaging, i think for a £3 lipstick it looks really pretty, it shows you can do good value and it doesn't have to look or feel cheap. The colour is a nice brown, Not like any colour i already own. Is not too pale and not too deep, its perfect for my skin tone and i think it would suit most people. I also think it would be a good colour to deepen up another lipstick, just add a little of this one top. Its a matte lipstick so its quite dry to apply but that doesn't reflect on the lips. Its a very creamy formula that i don't find drying but it lasted well.

I'd love to know have you guys tried any of the life on the dance floor range from Revolution?

You can buy it here

NARS Pigalle Lipstick // Lip of the week // #34

Hello darlings.

Guess who bought another lipstick, i know slap my hands! I did buy this a while ago but my camera died and my laptop died so i bought a new one! So its all systems go! I know i have hundreds of lipsticks but i'm a sucker for a lipstick especially for lipstick that has cute packaging. This is my first ever product from NARS but i never have seen anything i've wanted to own anything from the brand. But then i saw this lipstick i knew i had to own it. So did it live up to expectations? Here's my first lip of the week of 2019.

Packaging: 

So sleek and slim, very high end looking. It feels very nice to hold. Not cheap plastic. 

Shade: 

It is a red-brown colour, not like any i have in my collection. The perfect colour for this season, its a really nice dark colour. Its brown without being scary or unflattering as its has red under tones. I think will suit all skin tones.

The texture:

 It a creamy matte, glides on nicely. It is creamy so applies smoothly not dry, but definitely gives a matte finish. 

Is it long lasting? 

Its lasts a decent amount of time, i ate and drank like normal and it lasted pretty well. I would say it was about 4 hours before i touched it up. 

Overall i really like this lipstick! So my first NARS product has been a success. 

I'd love to know have you tried this lipstick?

Any other NARS shades you would recommend?

Lip of the week #33 Kate Moss nude collection

Hello darlings.

Today's post is a super quick 'lip of the week' before i go on holiday. For those of you who are new readers (HI!) this is a series where i tell you what lipstick i've been loving this week. 

I'm off to Devon tomorrow so i want to give you guys a little post before i go as i'm off for a week. Today's lip prouct is Rimmel Kate's' nude lipstick in shade 45, i know this was a popular lipstick a few years ago and that i'm late to jump on the band wagon! But now i have finally purchased it here are my thoughts and why its my favourite for this week, i hope you enjoy.

Packaging:

Its a pretty pink tube, the classic Rimmel shape but just pink so you can tell it is part of Kate Moss's collection. I really like it, its different from many other lipsticks i have and stands out in my collection. You get 4g of product which is pretty standard. 

Colour:

I choose the shade is '45' which is a pinky nude. It wasn't the lightest or the darkest shade in the collection but i thought it would suit me the most and it does. Its a nice pinky 'my lips but better', not a true nude for me but i like that as i didn't want the 'concealer' lips look. So this works perfectly for me for everyday. 

Applying:

Its glides on the lips easily, very smooth and pigmented. No lip liner is needed. 

Finish:

Its not a matte finish its a very shinny moisturizing lipstick. I'm defenfity more of a matte girl but its good to have other options. Not a glossy finish like lip glosses as thats what i don't like. I have long hair you get the idea....

Long lasting?

This lipstick is not the most long lasting on my lips, i do have to reapply throughout the day or after eating. But i think thats down to the finish, a matte lipstick would last longer. 

I'd love to know have you tried this lipstick?

Or any of the Kate Moss collection?

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?

The best Liquid Lipstick I've tried? // Lip of the week #30

Hello darlings!

I'm back, i've had my laptop in for repair for the last week and a half, i smashed the screen (again) now that i have it back so i'm back in full swing with writing. Today post is my lip of the week, i've tried so many different lip products recently so look out for lots of posts! These Rimmel Liquid Lipsticks are taking the internet by storm! They are all over Instagram, Facebook, Twitter all over social media. So i just had to try one an see what all the hype is about!

The packaging is nice, its plain. Not the nicest packaging i've seen but definitely not the worse. I went for the colour 'be my baby' i always play it safe and go for a nude, its a brown-ish nude. They have i think 14 shades, so great choice, one for everyone. 

(Mummy's little helper! Look at that lil face!)

This is THE most comfortable liquid lipstick i have ever tried! And i don't say that lightly as i've tried and loved a lot. I like the applicator, it applied the product easily and i didn't make any mistakes. I didn't apply a liner before hand but you could if you wanted to. I didn't find it drying at all, it dried down to a matte in a matter of seconds. But it looks good, it doesn't look dry or flakey! Its relatively long lasting, not the longest i've tried but it wears away nicely. It doesn't last through meals, so i did re-apply. 

(Distracting him with Youtube videos while i try and take pictures for my blog) 

Overall i am so impressed with this its not the longest lasting but its so comfortable!! I do think they are worth the hype. There are lots of colours to choose from and i ill be going back to buy many more! 

They are affordable at only £5.99

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

Lip of the week #22 L'Oreal Matte 640 'Erotique'

Hello darlings.

I'm back with a lip of the week! I missed writing these types of posts as they make me use what i have in my collection. As fellow beauty lovers you're probably the same as me ,many makeup items get tried and tested but then get forgotten about and we tend to stick to our favourites. Whereas this post makes me use them and realise why i bought them and i get to fall in love with them all over again.

 I can't believe i'm on number 22 and i haven't even made a dent into my collection yet, nor will i stop buying lip products! I love L'Oreal lipsticks, the gold packaging all in line on my vanity could rival MAC's in beauty. They are a classic and are classy. (Although i do still love MAC lipsticks!) The quality of the L'Oreal lipsticks for a drugstore product is incredible. Today's post focuses on number 640 'Erotique'. 

This is my first L'Oreal matte lipstick and i have to say i'm very impressed. I got it in the shade 'Erotique' i love the name, its so sexy. Its a gorgeous pinkish red that is actually quite autumnal but i wear these shades all year round as i think they are very wearable everyday colours. The texture is buttery smooth and its not drying in the slightest. Its very creamy, one of the creamiest matte lipsticks i own. The pigmentation is strong, i have a couple of other L'Oreal lipsticks that are quite sheer compared to this one. The lipstick is long lasting and comfortable on the lips. It would be perfect for work or long days. Overall i'm very happy with this one in my collection. 

It is not the cheapest in the drugstore but its definitely a good price,. It is £6.99 and you can purchase it here 

I'd love to know have you tried this lipstick?

Or any of the L'Oreal ones?

Lip Of The Week #19 KIKO Lipstick Pencil in '07' Vintage Rose

Hello darlings.

I have only tried 3 or 4 items from KIKO and all of them have impressed me so no wonder one of there lip products i bought last week has made it into my lip of the week! 

(Scary close up)

Packaging:

I really like the packaging, it makes me think of NARS lipstick pencils,  its matte back with the colour at the end, which is handy, especially when you store them. You get 1.8 grams, which looks quite small but you don't need much a small amount goes a long way. 

Texture:

The texture is creamy, glossy and really moisturizing. The lip pencil is not drying and doesn't dag along your lips like you get with many other lip pencils. Its not the most long lasting lip product i own, the creaminess goes quite fast but it leave a sort of stain on your lips which lasts a a couple hours.

Colour Payoff:

I was really surprised with how pigmented this product was, i thought it would be sheer and glossy when i swatched it on my hands. Its a natural, everyday colour that if you have followed my blog for a long time you know is my favourite kind! I found it easy to apply, you can do it without a mirror, so great for on the go.

Verdict:

The only part of this product i didn't like was the smell isn't the nicest but i am really fussy with how my makeup items smell so it just might be me. Other than that i really LOVE this product and i am so glad i picked one up.

I'd love to know have you tried any of KIKO's Lipstick Pencils?

What do you think of this one?

You can buy it here

Lip of the week #18 MAC's Brave

Hello darlings.

Today's post is my first lip of the week of 2016, i bought this little beauty in duty free in Edinburgh on my way home from a couple of days there before Christmas. I had been wanting MAC's Brave for the longest time (My Beauty wishlist) but i always find that £15.50 for a lipstick is a little pricey, while in duty free i noticed they were £13, i didn't think i'd get a better price than that so i bit the bullet and bought the lipstick i'd wanted i am so glad i did! 

In the light

Packaging: As usual i'll start off with the packaging, its the iconic bullet which i really like, its sleek and it looks really good on my vanity. Its smaller than i had imaged but it does mean its more travel friendly. 

The finish: Brave is a stain finish, i knew that i didn't want a glossy or cream finish and i was worried a matte might be too drying so i thought a stain would be perfect and it is. Its creamy on the lips but not shiny or drying! But i would recommend you put a little lip balm on if you have dry patches as although its creamy it will still cling to them. I don't find you don't need a lip liner with this lipstick its a pretty good stand alone.

The colour and colour payoff: Brave is a gorgeous colour, an everyday wearable natural shade but not a dead lips nude its more deep, its definitely a my lips but better lipstick. Its a pinky-mauve shade. Its very pigmented, it doesn't take too much to build it up to a strong colour, but as its a nude you don't really need to. Its easy to apply and great for on the go. I found it goes well with my skin tone, i'm quite pale and it works perfectly but i do recommend you test them in store before you purchase. 

Verdict:

Overall i LOVE this lipstick and i am so happy that i got it. Its my new everyday lipstick that will live in my handbag from now on! The colour, the payoff and the texture are amazing and i look forward to trying more lipsticks from MAC.  I'd love to try Captive, Faux and Mehr especially.

You can buy it here

I'd love to know have you tried this lipstick?

What is your favourite MAC lipstick?

Can you recommend any good ones for me to try?

Lip Of The Week #17 KIKO Luscious Cream Lipstick

Hello darlings.

Today post is my next installment of my series Lip of the Week. This week it is this KIKO lipstick that i got from my friend for my birthday :) 

This is a gorgeous deep red shade (I'm unsure of the shade name i think its just 513) its not a classic red like the Clinique one i got in my Glamour Magazine (link) but much more of an Autumn/Winter red which is great for this time of year. I'll start off with the packaging, its cool, its a silver bullet that you have to push in at the bottom and hear the click then it pops out, it took me an embarrassing amount of time trying to open it! Its creamy and really pigmented. It lasts a long time on the lips and when it fades it fades to a stain colour on your lips thats really flattering. This is the first lipstick i've tried from KIKO and i have to say so far i'm really impressed, i hope to try more from the range.

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

Glamour Magazine: Clinique Lipstick I Lip Of The Week #16

Hello darlings.

Like many other girls as soon as i saw Glamour Magazine were giving away Clinique products in this months issue i ran out to get mine. I was originally hoping to get the nude lipstick but was out of luck, so i pick up 'Cherry Pop' and i am pleasantly surprised, its the most gorgeous bright red colour. 

As always i'll start with the packaging, i love it, its teeny tiny so perfect for your hand bag, its sleek and feels nice in my hands. The lipstick its self is really pigmented, moisturising and long lasting. The finish is almost matte but more satin. I don't think its an everyday red most of a special occasion red, but nonetheless i really like it and i am glad i picked one up.

Full size is £16 :)

I'd love to know did you pick up any of the Clinique products?

What do you think of this lipstick?

Lip Of The Week #13 | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings.

Today's lip of the week is Max Factor Elixlir Lipstick in 'Rosewood'. 

This Max Factor Lipstick was one of my staple lipsticks this past winter, its a beautiful brown pinky nude (a slightly darker colour than my last lip of the week) that is perfect for everyday wear, which is definitely a theme with my lip of the weeks, i like easy wearable lip products! With one coat it makes my lips have the 'my lips but better look' but you can really build it up to a nice deep colour as shown in the image above. Its quite pigmented and creamy, plus the packaging is beautiful so it looks super cute in your handbag or on your vanity. 

I'd love to know have you tried this lipstick or any of the Max Factor ones?

Lip Of The Week #11 | Rimmel Kate Moss '08' | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

I'm so sorry i haven't posted a lip of the week in a while, but its the same old excuse thats probably getting boring now, but Uni is so hectic. blah blah, you get the story. Anyway enough complaining this week i have made a special effort to wear a lipstick. This one is a new purchase, you can check out my haul here. 

I hope you enjoy :)

This is a lovely nude brown, very 90's, i almost want to say 'Kylie Jenner'. So if you're looking for that particular look, then this is great, especially if you're on a budget! Plus it smells like vanilla, which is always good in my books!

I'd love to know have you tried this lipstick? Or any of the Kate Moss ones?

Lip Of The Week: #8: Revlon 'Pink In The Afternoon' | Perfect Fixations

But there is a lip product i have been loving this week and that is one of my newest lipsticks (you can check out my haul here) Revlon's 'Pink in the afternoon'. To me Revlon produce some of the best lip products. As you may have notice they appear in my lip of the week quite often!
