The Pink Lipsticks

Hello everyone! 

I love pink lipsticks. In fact I adore them so much that I decided to post about my favorite ones. 

I just find that the pinks suite my complexion well. I'm a pale skin girl and believe that the pink colours makes you look awake, radiant and lively! 

L-R 

1. MAC Viva Glam Lady Gaga 2. Chanel Coco Rouge Shine in Chance 3. Rimmel London Kate Moss in 05 3. Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm in Vivacious 4. Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Elusme.  

My favorite are Mac lady gaga and Chanel in chance. They are my most worn lipsticks of all time. But the sad thing is that ''Chance'' has been discontinued :( 

What lipstick colours do you like the most?

What I got in Canada - Makeup

Hi everyone! 

I just got back from my holiday, I went to Canada to see the rocky mountains also Vancouver where I got to shop a little bit. 

As most of you know we don't have a Sephora in the UK (but it does ship it for us) so I was excited to see what stuff they have in there. Now, my mother is probably Sephora's number 1 fan! She doesn't stop talking about how amazing the store is and how she wishes there's a sephora in the UK. And I couldn't agree more with her. 

Anyway this is what I bought in Canada. 

Tarte amazonian clay foundation, Anastasia brow wiz, Smashbox photo finish primer, Nyx blush and jumbo eye pencil 

First up it's Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation. I got this foundation after regretting not buying it last summer when I was in America. It gives full coverage and last all day. For me it's a satin finish not to dewy and not to matte. If you like Laura Mercier's silk cream foundation then you will love this since it's exactly the same but better is my opinion. 

2, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in medium brown (medium ash) I was trying to get the Ash blonde colour but it was sold out :( But I just could not leave without getting one. I think now it's my holy grail for eyebrows!! I've always used powders/eyeshadows but now this has totally converted me to pencils! It's amazing! I can't get enough of it! If you do get the chance to get one of these then  do it soon!

3, Smashbox photo finish primer. I know you can get these in the UK but I ran out of primer while in Canada. I've tried 2 other smashbox primers and haven't been impressed with them. But since this is one of their best selling products I gave it a go. 1, The smell of it is disgusting. I can't stand it. Smells so artificial. 2, After seeing photos of me with this primer on my skin looks flawless! It's amazing in pictures! 3, It actually makes makeup last for a very long time. I wore it for 25 hours and my foundation was still on amazing!

4, Nyx powder blush in pinched. I went to a drug store called London Drugs in Canada and found a batch of Nyx products there! It was my first time seeing nyx products so I was exciting to try thing out. But their stand was disgusting. Half of the products was missing and open etc. What a shame. But I did pick up this blush I haven't tried it yet but hopefully with the great reviews of their blushed I won't be disappointed. 

5, Last but not least the Nyx jumbo eye pencil. Since hearing great, amazing reviews of this product I needed to get it. Thankfully there was the shade I wanted left (milk) which I quickly got. I also haven't tried this yet but probably won't be disappointed with it since the raves it has gotten in the beauty world. 

That's it! Hoped you liked my little haul from Canada. What's your fave nyx product? Let me know in the comments below!

CHANEL - Rouge Coco Shine

I have bad news...My camera is broken! Forgive me for the awful iphone pictures I will be posting until my camera is fixed.

Anyway today I'm blogging about one of my favorite lipsticks. The Chanel rouge coco shine hydrating sheer lipshine.
Although I only have 2 they are the best lipstick I have ever owned and I have owned a lot of lipsticks!

The shades I have are L-R - ''Boy'' and ''Chance'' which is no discontinued. And I can't believe it because it's my favorite lipstick of all time! 

They are not pigmented but sheer. They also give you an amazing shine to the lips and its very moisturising to wear. 

The only bad thing about them is that they don't last on the lips at all. But that doesn't really bother me as I love the smell of these so I just love reapplying them. 

As you can see from the picture above, they are very glossy and sheer. ''boy'' is such a nice nude everyday colour and ''chance'' is a beautiful pink colour that really goes well with my pale skin.

Whats your favourite lipstick? Let me know in the comments below!

A Mac Haul

Hi everyone! It's been about 2 months since I've been writing on this blog! I've been super busy with college work and may was just a mad month! 

Anyway in the last week of May I went up to Manchester to see One Direction live!! (I got right up to the front yay!) And of course I went shopping! 

I went to the mac counter at Selfridges to see what's new and if I wanted some new things. 

I picked up 4 things. 

Left - Right - Mac Strobe Cream, Mac Alluring Aquatic lip pencil in ''What comes naturally'', Mac ''Myth'' lipstick and Mac ''Springsheen'' blush. 

First off we have Mac Strobe Cream which is basically a ''shimmery'' ''glowing'' cream that you put under your foundation for a dewy look. It does give you a nice glowing look to your face which makes you look awake and healthy. But do I wear it as a moisturiser or a primer? I don't know yet as i've only tested it out like a moisturiser. But I do think I need moisturiser under it because I do have dry skin. 

(wow great pictuer there Anna. Well done) 

Mac's Alluring Aquatic collection was beautiful although I only liked 1 product from them. And it's the ''What comes naturally'' lip pencil. I bought it simply because I wanted a nude lip pencil to town down the colour of my natural lips because I have very pigmented lips. I love this although its extremely drying! It does not look good with my dry lips! I need to moisturiser my lips to the extreme to wear this. 

Next we have mac's ''Myth'' lipstick. I saw many people like and rave this lipstick so I decided to buy it. It's a nic nude colour and VERY pigmented. But I don't think I can pull it off. It doesn't really suite me also its so dry on my lips! Maybe if the future I can work it. But as of now. No. Not for me. 

And last we have ''Springsheen'' blush. I wanted a new blush from mac because i've been using the same blush for over a year now and was getting fed up with it. ''Springsheen'' is a lovely pink, coral with little gold dust it it. I LOVE it!!! It's so me and last all day. It gives me enough colour on my face and the little gold dust makes me look alive and healthy on my dull pale skin. 

Overall I am pleased with my purchase. 

If you know any good lip moisturisers comment down below! I need some!

Elf Studio Matte Lip Colour in Rich Red - Review!

Hi guys! 

I was on the elf website the other week to buy the powder brush that everyone has been raving about! (Turns out it is AMAZING!) And as I was on the website I decided to buy a few more things. One of the things I bought is the Studio Matte Lip Colour. The reason being buying this is because I needed a red lip liner for winter. And since I never have tried this before and it was kinda cheap - £3.75, I might as well buy it!

Now I wasn't expecting it to be what it is...

As you can see it's sort of like a pencil. But when I swatches it first it had no colour coming off it whats so ever. 

 The colour does not match on what is supposed to be. When I put in on my lips it turned even more pink rather than red! I wasn't impressed at all. 

It does gives you a moisturising feeling and feels lightweight on your lips. But it wasn't matte! It looked mildly glossy. Overall I would not recommend it. It didn't impress me at all. I was very disappointed with it. 

I would give it 6/10 it was okay if you like a pink toned lip colour, moisturising and kinda cheap. 

But no I will not buy any other Lip Colour.
