Read My Lips

I went a bit mad on lipsticks the other day so decided to give my opinion on them all.

The first one is a Revlon lip butter in Sweet Tart; I bought one of these lip butters when they first came out and I got a colour very close to my natural lip colour just to add a sheen, and I used it a fair amount because it felt lovely on my lips and gave my lips moisture throughout most the day. But unfortunately I took it on holiday with me and it turned to mush and although I can still use it, I can't twist the bullet out without it dropping off so have to use my finger to apply. I also noticed in Boots a lot of the samples were a bit mushy and wonder if they just go like this after a lot of use or if exposed to too much heat; so they may not last very long, but they do feel lovely on the lips and just add a tint of colour. My friend has done a blog about these lip butters here too and I think the colour of the Raspberry Pie looks lovely. Again, I apologise for the rubbish pictures, I really don't get along with this new camera!

Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butter £7.99

Next up is the new Bourjois Rouge Edition lipticks, I bought two while they were on offer in Boots (By one get the second half price) because I couldn't decide between the two pinks; 12 Rose Neon and 07 Fuchsia Graffiti. They both are very bold colours and don't ware off easily, I have wiped my lips with cleanser after taking the pictures and I can still see a tint of it now! Very long lasting! It also feels lovely on, very moist and non drying. 

Bourjois Rouge Edition Rose Neon £7.99

This is Rose Neon and looks a lighter brighter pink in real life, its just if I put the flash on you could see all my lumps and bumps on my face, and I don't think you really needed to see that. It is a lovely girly pink and I am going to love wearing this through the Spring.

Bourjois Rouge Edition Fuchsia Graffiti £7.99

And this is Fuchsia Graffiti which also looks a lot brighter in real life, and is the one that's lingering still on my lips now giving them a nice pink glow. This one has to be my favourite, it is so bold but is such a lovely colour I think it would look great in the Summer and because it is long lasting and non sticky, think it would be great for Summer days on the beach...if we have the weather for it of course. Watch the second half of this video to see what this colour is really like and how you can do your eyes to match your lips.

Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick £5.49

And last but not least Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in 110, can't find the name of it anywhere, but it is a coral colour. I was unsure whether this would suit me with me being a pale red head, but it wasn't too orangey so looked rather nice. Again this a lovely bold colour. It isn't as moisturising as the other three brands, but it doesn't dry my lips out or stick to the dry bits and make them looked cracked.

So overall all these lipsticks get a thumbs up from me, and I think the price of them all is pretty reasonable considering how long the colour lasts.

Any other new lipsticks you can recommend me? 

Comfort is Essential

I know this isn't a very exciting post, no glitz and glamour, but I just think everyone needs a top like this in their wardrobe. I found this top the other day in NewLook and just had to get it. The colour is lovely for Summer and the style is very flattering. I wasn't too keen on the Peplum style when it first came out, it just wasn't me, but when I saw this, I just thought it was simple but pretty. It is also really comfy so is good for lazy days, or you could dress it up with a pretty necklace, a nice pair of jeans and a pair of heels. I think I may have to buy another one of these because I know I am going to be wearing it a lot because it is so easy to wear. They also have other colours in the shops if you prefer,  but I fancied brightening up my wardrobe after all the grunge style over winter.

Lead The Way M'Lady

I spotted this polish at Christmas in the Boots in Devon but was gutted to find that the only one left was one that had been opened and it was all glooping down the side of the bottle! So last week I popped to Devon (it's only like 6 hours away) and I made sure I went into Boots and managed to grab myself a bottle. And I am so glad I got it! Like all the Essie polishes, it glides on like a dream, dries almost instantly and I manage to hardly chip any of it off my nails. 
I was a bit worried at first that it was going to be like other glitter polishes I have that have a colour to them in the bottle, but when applied it just looks like glitter and they need to be layered to get a colour, but this is a lovely deep pinky/red with lots of red glitter and it just looks fabulous! Makes my fingers look very lady like! Definitely worth the £7.99 price tag and is probably my favourite nail colour. The pictures don't do it justice; my camera is doing my head in, can't get a good setting for close up photos, think I'm going to get my old camera fixed but for now, bare with me!

Leading Lady by Essie 

Also here are a few other colours I have got recently; I will blog about any I like in particular very soon; it's just difficult to do a review about nail polishes when I can't wear it for work or college so don't get much chance to wear the hundreds of colours I have!
