Autumn Lips

KATE MOSS FOR RIMMEL LONDON LIPSTICK 107 (bottom swatch) - Boots

ME NOW LIPLINER 107 (top swatch) - Banggood.com

I know some people hate autumn and wish it could just be summer, I am completely different and although I do like summer and the hot weather, I am defo an autumn/winter gal. My birthday is on 23 September, which could explain my love for the autumn months! I also love getting all cosy when it's cold and going to the German Markets in town and drinking hot chocolate in winter, ahhhh I can't wait! Anyway, dark reds/pinks are most peoples choice of lipstick when it's this time of year, and I'm no different! In all honesty, I'm not the biggest lipstick wearer but I think I'm definitely going to be sporting this look during more dressier winter evenings and things. I did a post like this all most a year ago which you can read (more like cringe) here. 

What I like to do is first apply some lip balm so my lips stay hydrated and also to help the next product blend a little better. Next, I take my Me Now Lipliner in 007 and messily apply this all over my lips. I then take a lip brush and just kind of blend it in a little. Then, I apply the Kate Moss for Rimmel Lipstick in 107 (how great would it be if the lip liner was number 107 too? It would be like they were made for each other) straight from the bullet and blend it in with my finger. As you can see from the hand swatch, they are actually very very similar, and you could always just wear one without the other, but I think putting the lip liner on underneath helps to increase the longevity of the lipstick. The picture of the products on my lips isn't really very true to life, my camera just wouldn't pick up the colour! It's a lot more of a berry colour than it appears to be in the picture. 

I really really can't wait for the clocks to go back so it gets dark earlier and it's chillier! I can't wait until October so I can start listening to Christmas tunes ;)

Review: Lord & Berry 20100 Lipstick Pencil

Lord & Berry 20100 Lipstick Pencil* - £8

Hello lovelies!

Today I have a review of the Lord & Berry 20100 Lipstick Pencil! I have seen so many of these types of lipstick/pencil/chubby stick/balm stain things all over the place, but this is the first one I've tried. And also the first product from Lord & Berry. Although I had heard of the brand (from hours of browsing the beauty section on ASOS) I had never tried anything from there, so I was a bit apprehensive about the quality, but I must say it's amazing! I really want to try some other products from Lord & Berry because it's relatively affordable and really good quality!

I have the 20100 Lipstick Pencil in Naturelle, which is a browny-nude natural lip colour! It is very much a your-lips-but-better colour, which is great for when you want something on your lips but you don't want to go all out with a bright colour! The application is amazing; it glides on smoothly and is so moisturising, almost like a balm! My lips tend to get quite dry so this is amazing for it! It lasts a while on the lips, although it can come off when eating/drinking, but it is easy to reapply and can be applied without a mirror, which is great for on the go touch ups! 

Overall I love it! My sister likes it too - a bit too much though because she keeps using mine! The Lord & Berry 20100 Lipstick Pencil comes in a variety of shades: from nudes to a shocking red. There are also a few orangey shades which I really want to try!

Have you tried anything from Lord & Berry? What are your thoughts?

Thanks for reading!

Review // MUA Lipstick in Juicy

Hello Guys!

So today I am going to do a review of MUA's lipstick in shade 15 juicy. I have tried a couple of things from MUA before but I have been very skeptical about trying them because they're so cheap and I wonder if they are good quality or not. So far, the majority of things from MUA live up to my expectations, including this lipstick.

The packaging for the lipstick is quite nice and I like how you can see the colour through the bottom so when you're in a rush you can see exactly what colour you need! The lid also has a very satisfying click when it closes, which is also reassuring to know the lid won't come up in your bag!

As you can see, this lipstick is a gorgeous pinky peach coral colour which isn't something I would usually go for, but being only £1 you can't really go wrong! This the perfect colour for summer for those who want a colourful lip without being too out there! This lipstick lasts a good while but it can transfer onto clothes so you have to be wary about that! Also, you might be able to tell that in the picture it did cling to the dry patches on my lips so be sure to exfoliate and moisturise your lips well before wearing it!

I think MUA are a great brand for people, like me, who want to try out new lipsticks and colours without burning a great big hole in your pocket, and if you don't like it, or it doesn't suit you it doesn't really matter! I really want to try their brow kit and also their brushes that they have!

kate moss lasting finish lipstick review

Hello guys!
As you may remember, in my last blog post the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick in 01 was mentioned, so I thought I'd do a whole blog post on it because I love it that much!!

I love this lipstick.
it glides on smoothly, but i have to use a brush with this other wise i look like a clown, and that is not the look i'm going for. It lasts a long time but it's still moisturising and doesn't dry your lips out.
You can even pat it on for a more natural look.
Overall I think this lipstick is amazing, especially for the low price tag (£5.49)and i think i shall be buying more of them.
I hope this has been helpful, don't forget to comment below if you have tried any more, or recommend different shades, or similar ones?
Thank you for reading!

Winter Lips

In Autumn/Winter as the evenings are darker I like to wear more lipsticks, as I'm a bit shy to bold lip colours in the day time.
I have just discovered this lip combination as I was playing around with some of my make-up haha!

Clinique High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15 £16.50 found here and a Colour Institute Lip Gloss (Not sure of colour/price sorry!)

Swatches of them both
Left hand side: Colour Institute Lip Gloss
Right hand side: Clinique High Impact Lip Colour (in shade 17 ROSETTE)

I just did this post so I could pout at a camera ;) ;) jokes haha! I make myself laugh sometimes!

I took pictures with the flash off and on, to try and show the true colour! It doesn't really come through on camera as much as I would like but I think you get the idea!
I'd love to hear about your lip combos for Autumn/Winter! Oooh it really is beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go (*singing*) now, isn't it?
