Lipstick Addict

I cannot stop buying lipsticks! I used to have a pretty frugal collection, but it has grown at a crazy rate in the last few months. These are my latest picks, which is your favourite?

1) Rimmel in Nude Delight 
 Because my lips are naturally highly pigmented it's for difficult for me to find the perfect nude nude (any tips would be greatly appreciated) and unfortunately I didn't really get much closer with this. However, that's not to say I don't love this shade; it comes up a beautiful pale orange which is really pretty and natural-looking. It's ideal for work and casual days out.

2) Kate for Rimmel in Vibrant Coral
Exactly what it says on the tin. Comes up rather red on my lips but still unmistakably coral, in fact, it's the best I've found to date. If you want a deep coral shade I highly reccommend this lipstick, it's matt and has terrific staying power.

3) Revlon Colourburst Lip Butter in Pink Lemonade
I've become addicted to these little lovely. I can't resist a light pink lippie and this is just adorable. Despite it's pale colour, I was surprised at how vibrant it is on my lips, shiny but bright. Admittedly, it doesn't have the best staying power, but it's easy enough to reapply after a drink or meal.

4) W7 Go West  in Pink Cloud
This colour I could not resist - isn't it just lovely? It's no secret that I'm a sucker for a pink lippie and I've been searching for this shade my whole life. It has a creamy texture with a buildable colour. What's more, it last great for a few hours but of course will need a top up after eating or drinking.

A little bit of retail therapy...

University is starting to take it's toll on my feeble body and mind. To keep me sane, I've been indulging in a spot of retail therapy. It's not really a haul, I don't have the money for those, but it's a small collection of pretty things I could not resist. Check it.

I had a cheeky little potter round Primark when I should have been in the uni library. White is my favourite colour to wear (next to black) because it's so pretty and versatile. I am also a sucker for crops, I have this thing about midriff, you see. I felt it was time to get myself a new hairband and how amazing is this one? I love the mix of sweet and punky, totally my style. Can't wait to wear this.

I'm addicted to Revlon' s lip butters, so I was excited when I saw Boots had a 3 for two offer. I picked up Strawberry Shortcake, Sweet Tart and Tutti Fruity. How cute are the names? These shades are a light rosey pink, a poppier bright pink and orange-hued reddy colour.

I'm really annoyed that I've had to neglect my blog recently, all my uni deadlines are coming up at once and I'm working flat out. But I just completed a particularly scary project, so things are looking up!

Because of uni, my social life has gone kaput so I'm really looking forward to a night out next Saturday. Hopefully I have a nice lil' outfit post for you guys. I'll be blogging a lot more when this semester is done!

So, what do you think of my purchases? ♣

Revlon ColourBurst Lip Butter - Reviewed.

I have a confession. Red lippie and I don't really get along. Yes, I am a pathetic excuse for a girl. The truth is, I wish I could wear it but instead of feeling like Marilyn Monroe I just feel like The Joker. My lipsticks of choice tend to be very pale pinks and nudes, but this time I decided to try something a little different. Cue Wild Watermelon; a shimmery coral shade with hues of both pink and red.

The Good

This is literally the most comfortable lipstick I've ever worn. Jack scoffed at the name lip 'butter'; sure it was just a marketing tactic, erroneously claiming to be more nourishing then your average lippie. He was wrong, it feels amazing from the first slick. I tend to be stingy with lipsticks and pick the cheapest brand (I know, I'm a bad beauty blogger!) It is always a mistake as they cause my lips to flake and the colours disappears within an hour. This lip butter truly feels like you've smoothed on Vaseline - so soft and kissable, with no signs of flaking. This is very good for someone who has notoriously easily chapped lips. 

The packaging is totally cute, I love the diamond patterned lid and the case is chic and shiny. Such pretty little thing to have in your make-up bag! I was amazed by the choice of colours available too, a total of 21 shades. 

The Bad 

Honestly, I don't really have anything bad to say about this lip butter. At £7.99, it's not the most student friendly price but it's worth ten cheaper lipsticks, I promise you. Obviously, you need reapply after eating and drinking, but it lasts a couple of hours on it's own, so keep it in your bag for touch-ups. I shall definitely be picking some more shades up soon.

The Bottom Line

Get this, just get it. Super soft feeling, brilliant choice of colours. An essential for every girl.
