This Summer I've Been Loving...

So it seems that summer is sadly nearly over. I think its been one of the best summers England's had in years due to the fact we've actually had sun! However unfortunately the days are now getting shorter and autumns definitely on its way, so I thought I would show you some things i've been loving this summer. The first being orange coral lips. I've always been a pink/reddy lip colour girl, but have been loving a more summery colour over the last few months. Here I have chosen my favourite 5 out of my collection to show you. 

Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Colour £7.99 here

The first one being Bourjois's Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Peach on the Beach. This particular colour has been raved about widely on many a blog since it was launched a few months back. The colour is so lovely. I find these are also pretty moisturising, and the colour lasts fairly well, I only find myself topping up a few times throughout the day. Their  pretty glossy but not sticky like some lip crayons i've tried. I think theres currently 4 colours in the range which are all pretty summery so hopefully we'll get some deeper shades for autumn.

MAC Sheen Supreme Lipstick £15.50 here 

This is definitely the most orange lipstick I own. Its by MAC and is a Sheen Supreme formula in the colour Fashion City. Its a really true orange which seemed pretty scary to me when I first tried it but I'm 100% a convert. I find it really flattering and feel it really complements a tan, however slight mine may be... This is the most expensive orange toned lippy I own but its such a lovely colour and formula I really think its worth the dosh.

 

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer £6.49 here

The next one i've found myself reaching for on many occasions is Rimmels Apocalips in Luna. I first saw this shade on Emily's blog here back in July and fell in love with it. I'm a massive fan of the Apocalips collection and have a fair few colours in my collection. Again this is a product that is famous in the blogger world, and rightly so if you ask me! They have a lovely range of colours, which last well, don't dry the lips out and are affordable!

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish £5.49 here

The next lippy is a much more pink toned coral than any of the others. Its from the Kate Moss collection for Rimmel and is in the colour 16 which is lovely and summery. The only issue I have with this one is if you have slightly dry lips then it does accentuate that unfortunately. However if your lips are lovely as smoooooooth, then this colour is gorgeous! 

Revlon Lip Butter £7.99 here

Finally, saving my favourite till last, it Revlon's Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya. I absolutely love this and it has become my go to orange/coral lip colour. The lip butters are fairly sheer which makes them alot less scary to wear than it they were an opaque colour. These are so moisturising as well making them perfect for people prone to dry lips like myself. 

Thanks for reading, what have you been loving this summer?

MAC Rebel

Hello there!

Today I have another MAC lipstick review for ya!

I bought this little beauty after having wanted 'Wicked' by Topshop for so long. Except unfortunately it had sold out completely by the time I came around to buying it.

Rebel is alot more purple toned whereas Wicked was more of a deep red colour, looking back I'm glad I went for Rebel if I'm honest.

I love love love the colour of this however I have to admit it took me a good 4 weeks before I actually felt brave enough to wear it.

Its really versatile as you can wear it quite sheer or build it up to give a real pop of colour, both which look lovely. 

I teamed it with a smokey eye the fist time I wore it which actually worked really well despite my fears of looking slightly like a drag queen.

This is one of the deepest colours I have in my lippy collection, but its also deffinately one of my faves!

Have you tried it? What did you think? Xx

Current Lipstick Storage

Hi there! I thought I'd do a post to show you my current lipstick storage.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a slight addiction to lipstick. My collection ranges from highend to drugstore and from lipsticks to lip crayons. Before I bought my current storage I had them stored in my make up drawer in a little square compartment which wasn't really ideal as I couldn't see  which was which etc.

However the muji drawers and lipstick stand I got off amazon are the perfect solution. I do have to admit that I am running out of room though and may have to invest in another one stand or bigger drawers!

The stand holds 24 lipsticks and then I keep all my lip crayons, balms, liners, stains and other bits in the drawers below.

I absolutely love my lippies being so handy when I do my make up and I love the look of them all on display.

As always thanks for reading! Xx

MAC Hot Gossip Lipstick

MAC Cremesheen Lipstick in Hot Gossip-£14

So this is actually my first ever MAC product. Everyone raves so much about their lippys and having read about a million reviews on them I thought I'd take the plunge and invest in one. At £14 a pop their not cheap but you can tell immediately that they are good quality. I chose the colour Hot Gossip which is a Cremesheen Formula. I wanted a wearable colour that wasn't too over the top, which is exactly what this lipstick is! Its a darkish pink colour with blue undertones. The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the packaging was the smell. They smell amazing, just like vanilla! It glides on so easily and I've been wearing it for a good 3 hours now and there's no sign of bleeding of fading. Overall a massive thumbs up from me! I can't wait to start a little collection of them now!

Have you tried this colour? Any suggestions on what colour I should go for next?
