DUPES #1

Hello! 

I recently realised that I have a very bad habbit of buying lipsticks in colour's I already own. However to make the most of this I have decided to start a 'series' where I explore my collection and show you some of the dupes I own for some of my slightly higher end lipsticks. 

 YSL Rouge Volupte Perle, Sparkling Fuschia (114)-£23.50

So today I have some dupes for the YSL Rouge Volupte Perle in the colour Sparkling Fuschia (114). I absolutely love this lippy, it goes on so smooth, is a lovely colour and has decent staying power. However I'm not such a fan of the price tag... £23.50. So here are a couple of cheaper alternatives

The first dupe for this is the Bourjois Shine Edition lipstick in no. 22. This is really nice and moisturising and beside the fact it hasnt got a shimmer to it, its a perfect dupe for the YSL. Its also only £7.99 so alot cheaper! The whole shine edition range from Bourjois is lovely, and if you're in the market for a new lippy (or two) I suggest you go check them out!

The second dupe I have is MAC's 'Lickable'. Its slightly more expensive at £15 but is still a very good colour match to the YSL lippy, the only slight differences are a lack of shimmer and that the shade is ever so slightly darker.. This is a cremesheen finish so is very moisturising and fairly pigmented. Again like the YSL it has a good staying power but has a slightly sheerer finish.

Nars Laguna

 Nars Laguna-£26

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last year or so you'll have heard of Nars' bronzer, Laguna. Its such a talked about product in the beauty blogging world! 

I'd always been intrigued by it but never quite managed to justify the price tag that comes with it. However whilst in Selfridges the other day I decided to bite the bullet and fork out to £26 price tag to see what all the fuss was about.

Safe to say I'm very glad I did! I absolutely love this bronzer! Its such a good colour for contouring as its not too brown or too orange. Its almost got a taupe-y undertone which I think is really complimentary.

Its very pigmented and there is a decent amount of product in the pan. I use this to contour with a duo fiber limited edition  Real Techniques brush, just to make sure I don't over do it and can build it up if need be.

Overall a lovely product that I can totally see the hype around!

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
