MAC Cyber Lipstick

Guess how long I've been meaning to write this post? I've had this in my blogging draft since January! Wow, already seeems like a life time ago.

It might be Summer now but I'm still wearing my deathly dark lipstick colours - somethings never change. Cyber has got to be one of my favourite lipsticks from MAC. I do admit that I don't wear this shade as much as I would like to but it will always going to be a staple in my collection! Cyber is a very dark shade of purple. It almost looks black in some lights! Still, it's a gorgeous shade of purple. But I absolutely love it. I just love vampy colours so If you do too, Cyber should be in your lipstick stash! Most people would enjoy wearing this type of lipstick colour on Halloween but I think every day should be a dark lipstick day, haha.

Cyber is in a satin finish, my absolutely favourite finish from MAC. What's your favourite lipstick?

Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick | Pamplemousse and Rouge Jetset.

Bourjois never let me down and their lipsticks are no exception! These two lipsticks are new shades from the collections Rouge Edition and Rouge Edition 12 hours. If you come on our blog often, I'm sure you will have noticed that we're both red lipstick fans (with the odd purple lippy here and there) so, we set out hearts on the shade Rouge Jetset the minute we saw it. But another shade caught our eye and it happened to be a peachy coral shade, Pamplemousse! Have you heard of Pamplemousse before? The lipstick was a firm favourite of Bourjois fans but was discontinued years ago! Pamplemousse has now been relaunched again by popular demand! So let's review the legendary Pamplemousse first!

Pamplemousse 12 hour lipstick is the perfect shade for Spring. It's a lovely bright coral shade but understated so it's looks  perfectly natural on the lips. It's seriously the best peachy lipstick a girl could ask for! It has a semi-matte finish and it really does last a long time. I'm not sure about 12 hours but it leaves a nice stain before the colour completely fades. I love the feel of the lipstick on my lips. It's not drying in the slightest but it's also not greasy too! Also, just one swipe of this lipstick and the colour is opaque.
I think Pamplemousse will continue to wow many people for a long time to come. It's beautiful and I think it will suit women of all ages. It's the perfect lipstick to wear with dark eyes.

 Now onto my personal favourite, Rouge Jetset! This is hands down the brightest red lipstick I have ever worn! So not for the faint hearted. I might be really shy but I do love wearing bold lipsticks and this red is certainly bold - almost neon red! But what I love about this shade is that it is a true red. It's not orange at all despite it's brightness. This lipstick has all the fantastic qualities that Pamplemousse has. It's moisturising, comfortable on the lips and applies effortlessly. It does stay on for absolutely hours, so much so that it leaves a stain even when I've removed it! Another thing I must mention is the actual lipstick bullet is in a unique shape, sort of square so it's SO easy to apply.

I love these lipsticks and I haven't got a bad word to say about them. They are going to look extra gorgeous in the Spring and all the way into Summer too. I recommend these to everyone!

Would you buy these lipsticks from Bourjois?

My Favourite Products From Rimmel

Rimmel is one of my favourite highstreet makeup brands as they're products are always on point! My favourites from Rimmel are the face products. 'Match Perfection' and 'Stay Matte' foundation are both pale foundations and they suit my skin tone perfectly. The don't at all feel cakey on my skin and they both give flawless finishes. Both foundations are very different from each other so I love using both of them. I always feel like I need to sweep a little bit of powder on my face to finish my base makeup so I love using the 'Clear Complexion' powder. This powder is translucent and it really keeps my skin looking matte.

I was so intrested to see 'Brow This Way' styling eyebrow gel was any good and I finally gave in and bought it just after Christmas. This brow gel is in two shades and I got the darkest shade and it matches my brows perfectly. I love using this when my eyebrow hairs just droop down and it really arches my brows into perfect shape. I would say that my brows stay fixed all day but obviously I can't abandon my trusty eyebrow pencil to fill in my brows but at £3.99, this is a great eyebrow product!

Salon Pro nail varnishes are my favourite polishes ever! I think they're better than any designer polishes out there. This polish can stay on my nails for days without chipping. The finish is also gel like which I love and it really does like salon quality. 'Peppermint' is a gorgeous shade and I think it will look gorgeous in Spring/Summer. There are so mant gorgeous colours in the range and I swear I've nearly bought every shade!

'Coffee Shimmer' is one of my favourite lipsticks. I think every girl that loves the 90's should have this shade of lipstick in their makeup bag. This lipstick feels so creamy on my lips and it does stay on for quite a long time. I also love using Rimmel's 'Professional Eyebrow' pencil along with the brow gel as it really fills in my brows and it's only £2.99!

Here is a picture of me wearing most of the products :) I'm wearing 'Match Perfection' foundation with the 'Perfect Complexion' powder. My skin is quite oily and both of these products keep my skin from getting too oily through out the day. Match Perfection is also the perfect colour for my skin tone and it doesn't feel at all cakey. I filled my brows in with the 'Professional Eyebrow Pencil' and I'm also wearing 'Coffee Shimmer' on my lips to complete my look.

I hope you liked this post! What are your favourite Rimmel products?

Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Happy Nude Year | Review & Swatches

When I first saw Bourjois rouge edition velvet lipsticks, I fell in love with them. I just love the idea of a liquid lipstick with a matte finish. I have all of eight shades that range from pinks, peach shades to deep reds. The lastest one I added to my collection is the newest shade, Happy Nude Year.

Happy Nude Year is a beautiful  pink/peach colour. I do find that the name of this shade is misleading as I don't find this colour nude at all but I instantly fell in love with this colour. I think many people will love Happy Nude Year as it's so wearable and will suit every complexion!

These lipsticks are so easy to apply too. They apply like a gloss as you apply it with the wand applicator. The finish is like a velvety matte which I love as it feels so lightweight on my lips. I do find this shade more drying than the other colours in the range but the staying power of this lipstick is just amazing - I can wear it for hours without it even budging!

Overall, this is another must-have product from Bourjois. The colour and the formula are just amazing and I'm so happy that I now have all eight shades from the Rouge Edition collection. I even hope they bring out more colours!

What do you think of Bourjois Rouge Edition lipsticks? What are your favourite shades?

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.
