Lipstick

Hi everyone! I hope you’re well and prepared for another week ahead of us. I though it share my go to lipsticks throughout summer.

I have 3 different brands of lipstick so let’s get started. 

The first brand in going to talk about is Mac, I actually only have the one Mac lipstick however it is very loved! The shade I have is Hot Gossip and it is a cremesheen lipstick. Mac lipsticks are excellent quality, with high pigmentation, long lasting and the packaging is gorgeous! I would highly recommend Mac lipsticks despite them being a bit pricey at £15.50 but I definitely think you get what you pay for. 

   

 

The next lipsticks I’m going to talk about are the Maybelline coloursensational lipsticks. I bought 3 shades a few months ago when they were on 3 for 2. I love all 3 shades and I find the lipsticks moisturising and long wearing. I’d highly recommend these as a more affordable drugstore lipstick at £6.99 (currently at Boots 2 for £10) The shades on the picture below from left to right are 150 Stellar Pink, 245 Magic Mauve, 832 Kiss Pearl. 

  
My final lipstick in going to mention is the Loreal colour riche I love this lipstick mainly due to the shade (spiking Amythest), it’s the prettiest sparkling purple shade! I adore it. It looks really high quality in the packaging and I can say that the product is also high quality, and very affordable at only £6.99. It is long lasting and I get endless amounts of comments on the colour! I couldn’t not share this with you all, I think it’s a gem! 

  
I hope this has been of some help. What are your favourite lipsticks? I’m looking to expand my lipstick collection so it would be really helpful to have some recommendations.

The perfect smokey eye pallete

Hi everyone! I thought I’d just share my all time favourite eyeshadow pallete with you. I absolutely adore the variety of colours, without them being too extreme. The pallete which has become my all time favourite is the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette. I know it’s rather pricey for a pallete (£38) but I think it’s defiantly worth it considering they are highly pigments with a variety of shades both matte and shimmery. I don’t usually use particularly creative and colourful eyeshadows, I mainly just use a more neutral pallete so this is perfect for me. I use this pallete every single day therefore I can justify the purchase. I’ve included a couple of photos so you can get an idea of the colours. 

However I understand many don’t want to spend lots of money on make up therefore I’ve also found a drugstore version which I’ve also tried and tested; the Sleek Storm eyeshadow pallete. The colours in this pallete are highly pigmented and it is a great dupe for the Naked 2 pallete. I hope some of you find this helpful!
