My Favourite Lip Products!

My Favourite Lip Products!


1. Benefit Posie Tint (around £24.50) available at Debenhams/Boots/House of Fraser/John Lewis/Online.
I really debated on whether to get this product or not as £24.50 seemed quite extortionate for a tint but it leaves my lips the prettiest "poppy-pink" colour after just simply dotting a tiny bit of it on. I never use it as a cheek stain as I am not too keen on using liquid-y tints on my face as they feel quite greasy.

2. Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipsticks in the colours 20 (old collection, black tube) and 107 (new collection, red tube) (around £5.50) available at Boots/Superdrug/Online.
I always wanted a bright pink lipstick and a dark red lipstick but didn't fancy forking out a lot of money, so when I saw these colours in Boots for just over £5, I knew I had to have them. In high street stores, I never try the lipstick on as they only leave an over-used tester out on the shelves, so I was quite worried that due to the matte-looking texture of these lipsticks, they would highlight cracks in my lips when they are dry, especially during the winter. I was quite shocked to find out it was the complete opposite, they both really moisturise my lips and last for such a long time, when Boots next have a 3 for 2 offer on I'm going to try(hoping they won't all be sold-out!) and get the whole collection.
 
3. Jelly Pong Pong Irish Cream Pavlova Lip Frosting (around £10) search online, a few places may still stock this product but it is sold out on the actual Jelly Pong Pong online store.
As stated on the back of the product, this lip frosting coats my lips with a lovely glossy sheen. I managed to pick this up at The Clothes Show Live when I purchased a Jelly Pong Pong goody bag which contained a few of their products, although I think now JPP has been rebraned to "So Susan" so I don't know if this product is still available. This gloss really does smell amazing and doesn't make your lips feel too sticky or heavy.

4. The Body Shop Born Lippy in Satsuma Shimmer (£2) available in The Body Shop/Online.
When smelling Born Lippy testers in The Body Shop, this lip balm/gloss really caught my senses as it has a gorgeous, refreshing, citrus-y aroma. It leaves a lovely, moisturising looking sheen on my lips and is not heavy at all. This product also looks good on the top of lipsticks to make them look more glossy. Such a good price and ideal for the handbag.

5. Clinique Chubby Stick in shade 15 Pudgy Peony (£16) available in John Lewis/Debenhams/House of Fraser/Boots/Online.
The Chubby Sticks all have amazing pigmentation but I felt this pink-shade really complimented my skin tone. The only minor downside for me is the fact that Clinique is 100% fragrance-free as I usually prefer my lip products to have a nice aroma, but I suppose this is better for my skin. At first I thought £16 was quite a lot for lipstick but I do wear this product quite a lot so I find I have gotten my money's worth.

6. MUA Lipstick in shade 11 (£1!!!!!!) available in Superdrug/Online.
I still can't believe it's that price. For a matte lipstick, this product is shockingly quite moisturising, I am definitely going to be purchasing more!

Skincare Routine

Image
Starting with the morning, as I tend to not wear foundation in the daytime, but need other products such as my concealer to blend onto my skin nicely, I make sure I always use a moisturiser with an SPF of at least 30, regardless of the time of year. This is important when using the Alpha H Liquid Gold, as the active ingredients make skin much more sensitive to any rays and more likely to contract sunburn. The moisturiser I opt for is Elizabeth Arden's Flawless Future Moisture Cream which I find very lightweight and soothing on the skin. Throughout the day if my lips feel dry I apply the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant to them, as learnt from Gabbie Lindley from VelvetGh0st, which makes lips feel moisturised and have a nice sheen to them. If I'm heading out in the evening and want to wear a drying, matte lipstick I will feel like they are primed and smooth enough to do so. I sometimes pop this on my brows too to keep them in place as my friend Georgi...

REVIEW! Mane N Tail The Original Shampoo and Conditioner

Image
  As I tend to rave to everyone and their dog about this line of haircare I thought I would compile my thoughts in a blog post (after two years of no posting – oops!).  I first heard about Mane N Tail from Cosmetics Charlotte on YouTube (Now called CharlottesChance). I immediately ordered the “original” shampoo and conditioner from Amazon to see the results for myself.   From the first wash I was hooked; my hair has never felt so soft and manageable; my unruly curly hair became much easier to style, whether I left it to dry naturally or used a hairdryer. I try to make sure that I don’t use them more than once a week as I am worried that my hair will get used to them and I often take breaks between repurchasing them as I know once I use it in my hair again, I will feel the effects more intensely. The added benefit is definitely the hair growth – if you’re in the market for a product to do this them make sure you purchase a set as I have tried many products cl...

Christmas Wishlist!

Dear Santa… Pixi Glow Tonic 250ml £18 http://www.marksandspencer.com/glow-tonic-250ml/p/p22424632?&pdpredirect Who doesn’t need an extra glow in this awful weather? I have heard raving reviews about this cult product but for some reason I’ve never picked a bottle up, although they handily stock the Pixi range in Marks and Spencer in the UK. They also sell a cute giftable 100ml for £10 in their Christmas range. (If you’re quick and spend over £35 you may also be eligible to get their advent calendar for £35 too! So total spend is £70 to pick one up, and they are worth over £200) Kate Spade One in a Million “J” Necklace £50 http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/kate-spade-new-york-one-in-a-million-j-12ct-gold-plated-pendant_133-3003424-WBRU7652/ I love this dainty necklace from Kate Spade and its personal touch of having an initial in the middle as this will look lovely with lower cut necklines on tops and dresses, and if you want to go all High School Musical ...
