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?

No7 Advent Calendar 2018

Hello darlings.

This is just a super quick post to show you guys what arrived yesterday! I know this sold out pretty quickly so i'm so happy i got it i ordered the day before it was released (i signed up to the mailing list). I'm currently recovering from having my wisdom teeth out so lots of bed rest and time off work for me. So having this arrive has certainly made me happier. 

I got this calendar a couple years ago (links, week 1, week 2, week 3, week 4) and i was wondering if you guys would like similar posts about what is in the calendar again this year. What i did back in 2014 is i did a week by week round up of what was i the calendar. Let me know if you guys would be interested in that kind of thing! I also have the Ghost fragrance one that i bought on clearance a couple months back (left over from last year) id love if you'd let me know if you wanted me to talk about that one too!

Are there any beauty calendars that you guys have your eye on or already bought? Let me if there are any other i should get?

Kisses

Skincare Routine: Winter 2015 | Perfect Fixations

Hello darlings

Today i for you my updated skin care routine. These are the current products i am using during the Winter months, i tend to switch them up depending on the season as my skin does change quite drastically! I use most of these at night as i have very little time in the morning. Also i don't use all these products every day but at least a few times a week so they are my regular routine. 

I hope you enjoy :)

Cleansing: First product i use is the The Body Shop Foaming Cleanser, i just love the smell so much, i'm becoming a massive fan of tee tree and i'm really enjoying this. Its a foaming cleanser, i've had never tried one before. Its not thick and creamy as i'm use to with my other cleansers but it does leave me face feeling clean and fresh. The other cleanser i've been loving is the Simple Deep Cleansing Mask, i only use this once a week as a mask which i leave on for about 6-7 minutes.

Exfoliating: The exfoliator i'm using at the moment is the one you've heard me rave about! Its the Superdrug's Tee Tree Scrub. (review) For an exfoliator its not too rough, but still enough to feel like its doing something, which i really like. It leaves you face feeling fresh and minty. To be honest it leaves the whole room smelling very minty! 

Facial Wash: This is one of the two products i use in the morning. The Superdrug's Lemon Facial Wash i love the scent of this face wash, its gorgeous! I find it really light and refreshing and is the perfect thing to wake me up in the morning. 

Day cream/moisturizer: Next up is moisturizer, the one i'm enjoying using is the Nivea Day Cream, this is a really thick cream that i have been using at night, (even with my dry skin its still too heavy to wear during the day. I find its really helping my dry skin, i put on a thick layer before bed and my skin feels so nice in the morning!

Eye Serum/cream: I got this little sample in my No7 advent calendar, (You check out my opening here) i've never really use eye creams before as i'm still quite young and it s never really a thing i've worried about. But as i got it in the calendar i thought i'd give this a go. So far i really like it, not too much difference in the skin but it does feel a lot softer and i figured i'm going to have this skin for life so i better start taking care of it now :)

Primer/moisturizer: The last product i use in my routine is the Nivea Express Hydration Primer in the morning as my moisturizers/primer. I find its great for keeping my makeup on and moisturizing my skin in the season. So its a great two in one product that i highly recommend.

I hope you enjoyed this post. I'd love to know what products are you using in you winter skincare routine?
