5 lip products in 2 days | Haul

I think it's time to admit that I have a problem, I'm a lip product addict. I was having a rather emotional week as I passed my second year or uni with a 2:1 hoorah! and I was going through phases of feeling high and low, and what's the best way to conquer a low? retail therapy!

I was looking at the boots website and noticed that the bourjois rouge edition velvet line had been extended and two new shades were added and they looked gorgeous and considering it was 3 for 2 I just couldn't refuse, right? the two new shades are nude-ist which is a pinky nude shade that I couldn't refuse as it's the only nude in the line and grand cru which is a deep burgundy which I'm looking forward to wearing during autumn and on nights out. I also picked up personne ne rouge which is a glamorous true red which I have had my eye on for a while. I also managed to buy these products during the offer where you get a free pair of sunglasses which are actually really lovely, so I only paid for two products and got a lipstick and a pair of sunglasses free!

I was guildford which is the closest mac store to where I live and I don't get to go there too often, so I popped in and picked up the lipstick in 'please me' which has been on my wish list forever and it's a beautiful mid toned pink. I also found a shop that stocked korres in guildford and i've been in love with my jasmine lip butter recently so I got the shade 'quince' which is also a mid-tone sheer pink.

Have you picked up any new lip products recently?

  2. The nude Bourjois shade looks gorgeous, I had no idea they extended the shades. There's so many new things I need to buy! I love Please Me, such a gorgeous shade. I also adore the Korres lip butters, I have about 6 haha.

  3. I love the Rouge Edition Velvets so much - they're gorge! Grand Cru looks wonderful in the packaging (my favourite by far) but I've heard that it's quite patchy on application :( I don't know whether to take the risk or not!

    1. I tested it out today and with the first coat it's not completely opaque but the second it's fully opaque - I'll need to wear it for longer! I'd say risk it :) xo

  4. I've just bought another Bourjois Rouge Edition velvet in Frambourjoise as I've been wanting another one (I already have Ole flamingo) and I spotted they were just £5.99 in Superdrug so I placed an order x
