Shades of Autumn/Winter

Hello Girlies,
I'm a sucker for a great lip colour! The brighter, the better! Here are some of my personal favourites for the coming seasons.


RIMMEL LONDON KATE MOSS LASTING FINNISH - 107 MATTE
This is a beautiful lipstick not only because its long lasting but also the colour is the most popular from the collection, and is one of Zoe Sugg's (Zoella280390) favourite lip colours to wear. The shade is a deep red with a some purple tones to it. Although the lipstick is a matte its not drying and has quite a nice creamy consistency. This is one of them Lipsticks you kind of have to be brave to wear! It's abold  colour, however I think so many people are wearing these shades in recent years its more socially acceptable to be seen with such a bright colour! And it's only £5.49!

MAC AMPLIFIED - VEGAS VOLT 
Seeing this shade really makes me think of autumn! I think it's the orangey tone to it makes me think of walking through Greenwich park as a child with all of the golden leaves on the floor! Anyway enough of reminiscing! I love this lipstick to pieces! I think it's a classy colour which can look sophisticated day or night. As a coral lipstick most people would probably put it into the summer category but I think this can most definitely be pulled off. This is more expensive at £15 but totally worth it.

NEW YORK PRO MAKEUP - 254 (GLOSSY LIPSTICK)
This is a pale pink lipstick, but when applied its in more of a gloss formulation. This can be Botha negative and a positive, as you don't need to apply a gloss over the top, however it's not long wearing and will most probably need to be re applied within an hour or two. Most colours during winter and autumn tend to be darker, however I think this lipstick can really work and look pretty, it will also carry you through to spring too, it's a real staple to have. I'm not sure on the price of this, but I believe it's an American brand! Please correct me if I'm wrong! 

MUA POWER POUT COLOUR INTENSE & TINT BALM - BROKEN HEARTED
This is a beautiful berry toned red, perfect for the coming seasons. As its a tint the colour payoff isn't   opaque however it certainty makes your lips the colour intended. I love this balm for a day when you just want something on your lips but not to look to bold. It's a size to carry round, and the chubby stick esk design of it makes it look more expensive than it actually is, as its just £3! BARGAIN!

Gifts and Lipsticks

Hello! 

Firstly I'd like to congratulate everyone who received some sort of results this week! I received my GCSE results and I'm extremely pleased with what I got, seeing the circumstances I've had the last year. I hope everyone else did extremely well too. My parents were extremely pleased with my results too, and got me some gifts for working hard, and doing well, as well as going out for a celebratory meal!

 I got to pick what I wanted from MAC... There was so much choice I was over whelmed, so I chose two lipsticks!  The first is a Sheen Supreme Lipstick in 'Behave Yourself'. I haven't yet applied to my lips however I have swatched it on my hand and its a beautiful cool toned cotton candy pink colour, with a slight shimmer running through it. It's also semi opaque which I think looks really pretty.

The second lipstick I'd chosen was MAC's 'Vegas Volt'. The colour is a bold shade of coral, and as its in a amplified formula, it's matte and long wearing, which I love. I think it goes really nicely with my fair skin, brown hair and hazely-brown eyes. In total it came to £30.50 which is on the pricey side but I really appreciate them both. 

Next I got the Sleek 'Snapshots' palette, which cost £7.99 and contains a mixture between mattes and shimmer shades, as well as pastels, brights and neutrals.
