REVIEW: Topshop "Infrared" Lipstick

Hello lovelies, I hope you are all well! I love all things orange, and I wear orange lipstick on a day-to-day basis, so when I saw this colour in Topshop I had to pick it up and buy it. I have never before owned a Topshop lipstick but have always wanted to try one and I must say, I am quite impressed. "Infrared" is a beautiful bright orange shade, it looks just as bright on the lips which I love. It is a lovely texture and does not feel at all drying (and my lips have the tendency to be rather on the dry side) and the colour lasts really well. This colour has definitely made me want to try more Topshop lipsticks, if there are any colours you would recommend be sure to let me know in the comments!

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain vs. Clinique Chubby Stick - Is there a difference?!

Hello lovelies! Here lies two products that look almost identical, right?! Well I'll tell you one thing, they are pretty similar in application, too. Both of these products are really moisturising and add colour that isn't too bold yet not too sheer or subtle either. They are ideal for drier lips in the daytime. The only real difference in these products is that the Revlon Just Bitten tends to last longer in terms of colour, however this is a given as it is a lip stain, after all. I really enjoy using both of these products and will definitely be looking into buying more colours.

Have you tried these? What colours do you recommend?! Thank you for reading :)

Revlon Lip Butter in Tutti Frutti

Hi guys, hope you're all well! I'm a big fan of the Revlon Lip Butters, they are so creamy and moisturising and add just the right amount of colour for a relaxed day-to-day makeup. I have had my eyes on 'Tutti Frutti' for a while now, so whilst in Boots the other day, I picked it up.
This Lip Butter did not fail to disappoint, as with all of Revlon's Lip Butters, it is perfectly moisturising and just lovely. This Lip Butter in particular, however, I am a little obsessed with the colour of. The orange is just a little more exciting and fun than some of the other colours in Revlon's Lip Butters range. Because of it's formula, this product isn't as bright as it looks in the bullet. So it's perfect for someone like me who is too scared to wear a bright orange but would just like a wash of colour on my lips to wear throughout the daytime.

Thank you for reading! Have you tried any of the Revlon Lip Butters, which is your favourite?

December Favourites & My New Years Resolution!

Hello guys - it's been a while hasn't it?! I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything in months! But I am back now and I have made it (one of my) New Years Resolutions to start updating my blog once again, at least once a week! I have no idea where last year went, it disappeared so quickly! I can't quite believe this post is my December Favourites.

(Sorry about the terrible picture quality - there wasn't
a whole lot of light left when I took this!)

So, let us begin with the best mascara this world has ever seen! That being Benefit's They're Real Mascara of course! I'm lucky enough to have naturally long eyelashes but this product seems to take that to a whole new level! It's both lengthening and voluminizing, leaving the lashes looking just fluttery and gorgeous!

My next favourite is Rimmel's Kate Moss Lipstick in 107. This colour is just so beautiful and wintery, I have been wearing it almost all the time recently! I do love the matte finish - but I will occasionally wear a little bit of gloss over the top if I don't want the matte finish. The product itself smells - to me - of Cherry Drops, which were my favourite childhood sweet, and that makes me love it even more!

I've also been loving Maybelline's Black Gel Eyeliner this month, I love the black winged liner look and this gel liner makes it so easy! It glides onto the eye wonderfully, and lasts the entire day! I use the little brush the liner came with because I find that works just fine!

Last but not least, is AVON's Advance Techniques Moroccan Argon Hair Oil. Recently my hair has been a little dead and thin from constantly wearing my hair up in a topknot (even my hairdresser noticed - it isn't good!) so I bought this Moroccan Oil because I've heard from numerous people that it does wonders to your hair; and doesn't it just! My hair is already looking a little more alive and healthy, definitely a good purchase! Especially as it only cost me £5.50!


What have your favourites been this month? Thank you for reading!

Superdrug Bargains!

Hey guys! I popped into Superdrug earlier on today and picked up a few bits and pieces so I thought I would show you what I bought!
  The first thing I picked up was this Batiste Dry Shampoo for Dark & Deep Brown Hair, I actually have an original can of Batiste Dry Shampoo that is almost full sitting in my cupboard but this one was only sale for £1.95 so I thought it was a good idea to stock up whilst I could! I bought the dark and deep brown one as I do sometimes find it a pain to get rid of all the white that the original dry shampoo leaves in my hair.
  I also bought Palmer's Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Lip Balm, I needed a new lip balm and this one had been recommended to me a while ago so I thought I would try it out and see how I got on with it.
  I have never bought any MUA products before, but I picked up three lipstick's today seeing as they are only £1! I got Shade 13, Shade 11 and Shade 15 Juicy. I have heard positive things about these lipsticks considering the price so I will be sure to let you now how I got on with them!
  Finally I picked up a packet of Mr Sneeze Tissues For Little Sniffles just because I thought they looked cute and when I was younger I used to adore Mr. Men!

Barry M Magic Lipstick!

Hey guys! I bought this lipstick ages ago and have been meaning to blog about it for ages because it is just so cool! I was hesitant to buy it at first, because all of the Barry M lipsticks that I have bought in the past I found very drying, but I looked past that and bought this anyway - just because it looked cool.

So as you can see, in bullet form this lipstick looks quite scary, but when you put it onto the lips it changes to suit your skin tone (although - when I bought this, two of my friends bought it too, and all our lips ended up a very similar colour) it goes from quite a sheer pink at first to a bright, vibrant pink within about ten minutes.

I didn't have a problem with this lipstick being very drying at all and, my gosh, it lasts a long time! Even after eating and drinking, it barely budges - so it would be brilliant for a night out! - if I ever find my lips drying out whilst wearing this I will just apply a lip balm over the top and it's fine.

Roughly ten minutes after application (it doesn't look particularly
bright here, it comes out brighter on the lip!) 

Revlon Lip Butters

 Hello guys! I have been hearing a lot of good things about the Revlon Lip Butters recently, so I thought it was time I got my hands on on of my own. I decided to buy the colour 001 Pink Truffle.
  I am known to suffer quite badly with dry lips but this Lip Butter is so moisturising! I love the formula of the lipstick and also how the colour doesn't transfer solidly onto your lips, it is quite sheer. This, for me, makes it very wearable. My only regret with this product was my choice of colour, I now wish I had gone for a brighter colour such as a bright pink or red - I guess that could be an excuse to go back and buy another one though, right?

MAC Patisserie Lipstick.

It may surprise you that I had no MAC products in my make-up bag until just a week or two ago! I was shopping in town with my mum and decided it really was about time I purchased my first MAC product, so that is exactly what I did.

  I knew that I wanted to buy either a lipstick or an eyeshadow, and after having a look at MAC's collections of both of these items I decided I wanted a lipstick, but nothing too bright and exciting. The lady on the counter was very helpful and put a few different colours and formulations onto my lips so I could see what suited me best. In the end I went for a Lustre in the colour Patisserie. I didn't want to go for anything too exciting simply because I knew that I would get a lot more wear out of a more natural colour.

    I really like this lipstick, I know a lot of people are put off buying MAC lipsticks because they are slightly pricey, priced at £13.50, but personally I think they are worth every penny! They aren't at all drying on my lips as a lot of lipsticks are, the colour lasts all day and the colour transfers well onto my lips. I will definitely be going back to MAC in the near future too see what other products they have to offer!
