My top 5 lipsticks




I used to be the kind of person who associated lipstick with old ladies, I never thought of it as a youthful thing until I got into the weird and wonderful world of youtube and blog reading, and now lipsticks are slowly taking over my makeup collection

1. Revlon just bitten kissable balm stain in lovesick
I get so many compliments when I wear this, it's a beautiful hot pink colour which is very wearable in my opinion, at first it has a slight glossy finish and is quite creamy, which then dries into a stain which may I add can be a pain to get off, I've had to wear this two days in a row before because I woke up after a night out and still had stained pink lips.

2. NYX Soft matte lip cream in San paulo
I have been rambling on about this soft matte lip cream since the day I got it, it's the prettiest, most wearable warm pink lip product I own, I feel that it suits my skin tone lovely and it's extremely long lasting, the matte finish isn't uncomfortable or powdery looking

3. MAC shy girl
Shy girl is a cremesheen formula and my nude of choice, it's a beautiful peachy nude colour, I chose this because light pinks don't suit me so I wanted something with a warmer tone to it. on me this lasts around 3 hours and it's very comfortable to wear, also mac lipsticks smell like vanilla, who wouldn't love that?

4. MAC RiRi Woo
As you can probably tell from my list, I'm a matte lipstick kind of girl, RiRi woo is a blue toned red from the Rhianna for MAC collection, because of the matte formula it's very long lasting and the blue undertones make your teeth look really white!

5. Rimmel Kate lipstick in 107
Yet another matte lipstick? yes... i'm afraid so! this is a deep berry toned red which is perfect for the autumn/winter months, I'm definitely looking forward to wearing this again, even though I have worn it  a few times throughout summer i'll get more wear out of it in autumn!

FOTD | Batman meets San paulo

I'm a very casual person, i'm not a fan of dressing up too much... in fact i'm at my happiest when I'm in my pyjamas, if only it was socially acceptable to wear pyjamas out in public, that would be bliss... small OOTD for you in here too.
This is the makeup look i've been going for everyday at the moment, even in the summer i'm not a fan of sheer coverage foundation (Ironic that my foundation of choice is "Nars sheer glow") and generally less makeup.




 I don't know if it's too noticeable, but i've been filling my eyebrows in with MAC charcoal brown instead of my benefit browzingz and it's given me a more natural look, which I'm loving for my brows at the moment! I have one more space left in my MAC quad where I want to put a highlight shade, can anyone recommend to me a nice highlight colour from mac? (that isn't vanilla)

Products used in order of applying: Benefit porefessional > nars sheer glow foundation > bobbi brown corrector > collection lasting perfection concealer > mac charcoal brown (eyebrows) > rimmel stay matte powder > sleek face form kit in light > soap and glory glow all out highlighter > mac all that glitters, charcoal brown and satin taupe(eyeshadows) > maybelline eyestudio lasting drama gel eyeliner > Maybelline the falsies mascara > mac fix+ > nyx soft matte lip cream in san paulo

Haul | MAC, Superdrug, Yankee candle and more

This month has been a good shopping month for me, I saved up money from last months wages and I ended up having a lot of extra money this month to treat myself with, I haven't brought everything myself, the Yankee candles were presents from my parents and were at a heavily discounted price!
All of these products weren't purchased at the same time, but over the space of a month.
A bulk of the products are repurchases, as it always seems I ran out of my essentials at the same time... never a good thing.







MAC
208 angled eyebrow brush
Charcoal brown eyeshadow
Pro palette quad
I've been wanting to try out new products for my eyebrows, I love my benefit browzings but I thought having my everyday eyeshadow colours (All that glitters & Satin taupe) and an eyebrow colour in one quad would just make life that little bit easier, and charcoal brown will also be a snazzy crease colour!

NYX
Two soft matte lip creams in Milan and San Paulo
As soon as I saw Kassia from styleofbeautyduo rave on about these products I've wanted them, I'm a matte lip colour kind of girl and I don't like the feeling of heavy gloss on my lips.

BOOTS & SUPERDRUG
Collection cream puff in fairy cake
Maybelline lasting drama gel liner
Rimmel stay matte powder
Collection lasting perfection concealer
Rimmel salon pro nail polish in "Soul session"
Rimmel Wake me up foundation
La roche-posay effaclar mat
Pamlers cocoa butter dark chocolate and peppermint lip butter

CANDLES
Two large Yankee candles in black coconut and summer scoop
Three Kringle candle wax melts in Pancake breakfast, lemon rind and splash

I also brought the cutest pair of tweezers for £1.95 and they're so sharp and great for getting out hairs, with a cath kidston like print on them!
