Maybelline Colour Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil In Shade Berry Much

This is my all time favourite lip pencil. Ever. We got the shade Nude Perfection back in September when Maybelline first released these beauties and we haven't stopped using it since. So with the cold weather well and truely here, we've been pulling on jumpers and boots and that's when I realised we didn't have a traditional berry lip colour for the colder months. We're one of those people that love makeup and when the season changes, so does our makeup! I actually have so much makeup that I probably do have many, many berry lipsticks but I'll come up with any excuse to buy a new lip shade!

This colour is named Berry Much (I love the name) and it's absolutely perfect! It's so dark and more purplish berry toned than a pinkish colour which is exactly what I'm after. Dreamy! I applied this to my lips and it's so pigmented! I knew the colour would be fantastic because even the Nude Perfection shade has great colour which is rare for a nude colour.

I think I actually prefer lip pencils these days as it actually stays put on my lips for hours without re-applying. What makes these lip pencils so lovely though is that they are non drying in the slightest, even in the winter months when my lips are more prone to getting chapped. It's a winner in my eyes. There are also many shades to choose from like classic reds, pink colours or my beloved Nude Perfection. I tend to wear the lip pencil alone but sometimes I add a lipstick on top and obviously the lippie stays on for hours! Sorry for not adding a photograph of this on my lips but it's quite hard to photograph your own lips, haha! I'm sure you'll see us wearing this in future blog posts though.

All of this and it's just £4.99! Great price as the product lasts for months. I'd recommend to everyone!

Will you be trying this new classic?

Our Makeup Favourites | Products We Use Everyday.

Hey everyone, welcome to the makeup favourites! This is a short post on what products I've recently been loving! If you love perfect brows, the perfect autumnal eyes, a pop of colour to your cheeks, fluttering eyelashes, nude lips and the perfect catflick, this look might be for you too!

Too Faced Brow Envy Kit - I'm a massive fan of Too Faced after discovering them earlier this year. They're lipsticks are absolutely amazing and I couldn't wait to explore more products from the brand. I bought the Brow Envy kit with my Christmas money and it's the only eyebrow product I've used all year! The kit contains professional tweezers, easy-to-use stencils to customize your brow shape, conditioning wax, powder & brow brush tools. The powders are just the right shades for my brows and they stay put all day. I love this brow kit and I don't know how I lived without it!

Seventeen Wet Look Lacquer Eyeliner - I was out on the hunt for a new liner and I just stumbled across this one. The pigment is amazing and I love the 'wet' look effect! The brush is quite small which might be a negative for some people but I love this eyeliner and I will probably buy it again.

Bourjois Volume Glamour Push Up Mascara - This mascara recently featured on my blog and you can read the full review on it here. If you've already read the review, you will know how much love I have for this mascara! I've been reaching for this mascara everday and it's the best mascara I have ever used. It lengthes, curls and volumizes the lashes - what more could a girl want from a mascara?

Bourjois Quad Smoky Eyeshadow Palette - This is another one of my Bourjois beauties that I have recently bought. I picked this palette out of a total of eight shades. I love the brown/golden shades in this palette and I think they're perfect to create the perfect smoky eye. They're so pigmented and they stay put all day long. I will definitely be buying more of the palettes in the future!

Bourjois Little Round Pot Blusher - There is nothing better than a Bourjois blusher! I love everything about these little pots. I've had this shade for ages now and I still can't get enough of it. I find that this colour just adds the perfect pop of colour and it lasts a good few hours before it starts to wear off. The smell is just gorgeous and I will never get tired of these blushes.

Maybelline Colour Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil - This is another product that I have reviewed which you can read here. I love this pencil and it hasn't left my lips since I bought it. The shade is the perfect nude and it really does apply like velvet. The staying power is amazing too. I can see myself buying this over and over again.

There we have it! Our favourite makeup products that have been gracing our faces everyday! What are your favourite products at the moment?

My New Perfect Nude Lip - Maybelline Colour Drama Intense Velvet Lip Pencil.

These past couple of weeks I've tried so hard to stop spending all my money on make up that I don't need. But what can you do when you're a lipstick junkie like I am? I have so many lipsticks and most of the shades that I buy look identical to each other (ooops!). Before purchasing this lip liner, Rimmel's Coffee Shimmer lipstick never left my lips and I didn't think I'd find any other lip colour that could take it's place. But Maybelline might have topped it!

Today whilest I was out shopping I felt very vunerable to my feelings and I guess I felt a bit down. I wanted to go home but then I decided a good trip into Boots would take my mind off things. I didn't expect to buy anything but enter Maybelline Colour Drama Intense Velvet lip pencil! I haven't heard anything about this new collection so I was really excited to give it a try.

Maybelline in my opinion have been great this year, constantly bringing out new and creative make up inventions and this lip pencil is certainly no exception.The shade I bought is a lovely nude and is apporiately named ''Nude Perfection''. The texture is smooth and non-drying on my lips - this was something I was worried about because I've never came across a lip liner that hasn't made me lips feel super dry but this liner is perfect. It doesn't budge for hours either. Although it is only a nude, the colour is so pigmented. The other shades in the range are really bright and bold and I've got my eye on the vampy purple shade, ''Berry Much''. At £4.99, I think this pencil is absolutely amazing value for money and I haven't stopped wearing it since purchase.
