Review | My Favourite Bright Pink Lipsticks

[Left to Right: YSL No 5, MAC Girl About Town, MAC Show Orchid, MAC Full Fuchsia]

One of my weaknesses when it comes to makeup is definitely lipsticks, I just can't get enough of them. I love to wear a variety of shades and I mix them up all year around but when Summer is approaching I tend to reach more for my bright pinks. They may look a little scary to some people  but I find they finish off my makeup nicely and really brighten up my face. 

I have four bright lipsticks in my collection which are my 'go to' shades and by far my most worn so I thought I would share those with you in today's post. Whether I'm looking a little paler or have a tan I find they go well with my skin tone so I definitely think they are worth a swatch if you're tempted.

One of the first MAC lipsticks I bought was the cult shade Girl About Town which is talked about a lot in the blogging world and it's obvious why. This shade is just beautiful. The Amplifed finish is one of my favourite's as it's creamy, long lasting and hydrating plus very pigmented. This blue toned pink looks gorgeous with neutral eye makeup and although it's a bright lipstick I wear it in both the day and evening. Out of all the lipsticks mentioned in this post, this is definitely my most worn and is a lipstick I will always have in my collection.

Next is MAC Show Orchid which is a pro colour so is not quite as easily available. In fact, it took me several months of searching to track this down before eventually finding it in the London Carnaby Street MAC Pro Store but it was totally worth it. Show Orchid also has an Amplified finish hence why it is very pigmented but it is much brighter than Girl About Town. The latter is a deeper lipstick and far more wearable but Show Orchid is equally as beautiful. It is more pink toned and has a subtle shimmer running through it which makes my lips look fuller which is an added bonus. This lipstick isn't for the faint hearted as it is bold but it looks gorgeous with simple makeup and definitely makes a statement.

The last MAC lipstick I'm going to talk about is Full Fuchsia and is a shade I bought at the airport when I went on a work trip earlier in the year. If I'm honest it's very close to Girl About Town and wouldn't recommend someone to get both. If I'd realised it was so similar I wouldn't have bought it myself but as I've got it I wear it. Again the finish is Amplified and this shade is a deeper pink than Show Orchid and blue toned. It's very pretty and is ever so slightly lighter than Girl About Town but it is barely noticeable. Another pretty lipstick.

I've always been a big fan of YSL lipsticks as I find them very moisturising and easy to wear. My favourite collection is the Rouge Volupte Shine as I find the formula the most hydrating and the packaging is simply stunning. This shade, No 5, is slightly more on the red/pink side and is also blue toned which I find to be flattering plus it makes your teeth look whiter! The formula is lighter than the MAC alternatives but the colour is pigmented so you can still easily achieve a statement lip.

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog post about my favourite bright pink lipsticks. I plan to do some similar posts like this in the future so let me know if that is something you would be interested in seeing.

Review | YSL Black Opium Perfume

When I was shopping with one of my friends months ago we went past the YSL stand in Debenhams where they were displaying the recently launched Black Opium fragrance by YSL, after just one smell I was hooked.

Black Opium is a gorgeous warm and spicy scent which is perfect for the evening and these cold Winter nights we are having.  It also has a edgy young feel to it which suits the fun yet sophisticated packaging well. There's something very unique about this scent I can't put my finger on but needless to say I love it. The dark notes of black coffee mixed with white florals, jasmine and a shot of vanilla results in a sweet heavenly scent that lingers for hours but isn't the slightest bit overpowering.

This perfume is simply delicious.

If you want to buy this product it is available in a number of stores including Debenhams. Prices vary depending on size but 30ml is £44.00.

Have you smelt this gorgeous perfume? Which is your favourite?

FOTD | Minimal Every Day Make-up

Hello Beauties, How are you all? I recently took this snap and posted it online where I got several comments about the make-up I was wearing so I thought I'd write a blog post about it. When this was taken I was on my way to the mall for a quick shopping trip as I needed a few last minute things before a family wedding I was going to the following weekend and also needed to get my eyebrows threaded. I was feeling a little under the weather so I didn't want to to wear much make-up so went for a very minimalist look using the below products.

Face

After using my Origins Make a Difference moisturiser I applied a small amount of Nars Sheer Glow Foundation using my all time favourite brush, the Sigma F80 which is a flat top Kabuki.  This blends the product effortlessly into the skin and leaves a flawless finish and a natural healthy glow. 

Following this, I added a hint of colour to my cheeks using MAC Mocha powder blush which is a really subtle pink. I like using this blush because it gives a pretty hint of colour without being too over the top, it blends well and is easy to use as it isn't overly pigmented.

As I was having a good skin day I didn't need any concealer and also didn't apply any more powder products such as bronzer or setting powder as I wanted to maintain the glow from the foundation.

Eyes and Lips

Moving onto eyes and lips, I added a little Urban Decay Priming Potion to my lids followed by MAC Brule eyeshadow, a almost skin colour beige as I wanted a very neutral look. The one bad thing about having your eyebrows threaded is that it plays havoc with eye make-up because you have to often pull your skin tight while they do it so I've learnt the hard way not to wear anything too heavy.

I decided to skip eyeliner due to the reasons above and jump straight to a a very thin layer of Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara. I put on so little so people may think it's not worth it but it added a tiny bit of definition to my already long lashes and helped open up my eyes a little.

Last but not least I put on a sweep of one of my most used lipsticks. YSL Rouge Volupte in Number 8, a pretty baby pink that goes with any make-up look.

What do you think of my minimal everyday make-up look?

Monthly Round Up | July Posts

Yet another month has passed and we are well into the Summer here in the UK. We've been having some really beautiful weather here although I've been at work most of the time so I haven't been able to enjoy it as much as I would like. Anyway, today's post is all about a monthly round up of my eight favourite posts from the past month. Here they are:

Juggling a Career and Blogging | Link

It's not easy juggling and job and blogging at the same time so I decided to write a blog post all about it. I spoke about the tips I have discovered over the past eighteen months and what I do in order to ensure I regularly post and communicate with my readers. It's definitely a challenge and varies week on week depending on what else I need to fit in my personal life or events I am attending but there are some set things I follow to make sure I get everything done.

My All Time Favourite Lip Products | Link

An exciting blog post I shared this month was about my all time favourite lip products. There were 10 in total and covered a range of finishes, colours and brands. I really enjoyed taking the pictures for this post as well as writing it.

Things I Wish I'd Known About Blogging Part 4 | Link

A few months ago I started my 'Things I Wish I'd Known About Blogging' series and this month saw post number four go live. This features a few things I have learnt since I started blogging but would have been really useful to know when I had first started out.

Makeup Revolution Haul | Link

Makeup Revolution is a really brilliant online affordable brand which I discovered through blogging. They have a whole host of products on offer and I have been very impressed with all of the ones I have tried. Check out my haul in this post.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Face Mask Review | Link

During the end of June and July I found I was suffering from dry skin so I was on the look out for a new product to help with this. The one I turned to was the Origins Drink Up Intensive Face Mask that you use overnight and I was blown away by the results. This month I wrote a review all about it so I could share it with you.

Mulberry Bayswater in Taupe | Link

I splashed out on a luxurious purchase this month, my very first Mulberry bag! I absolutely adore it and have shared all the details with you in this blog post.

Lush French Kiss Bubble Bar | Link

A monthly round up wouldn't be complete if if didn't feature a Lush product and July saw one I was given to me by my best friend. The French Kiss Bubble Bar is perfect for relaxing because it smells of lavender, it looks gorgeous and can be used multiple times.. what more could you ask for?

Lauren Pearl Bikini Review | Link

Last but not least, there was a fashion related blog post featuring a gorgeous bikini from Lauren Pearl. I'm a little addicted to bikini's so was really pleased to discover this brand and this particular one has a really unusual tropical print that I love.

Review | My All Time Favourite Lipsticks

Hello Beauties, in today's post I will be sharing my all time favourite lipsticks. These are the ones that I reach for most often and can be described as my 'go to' lipsticks.  In most cases these are lip products I tend to wear all year round too because I love them so much. Of course from time to time I wear others too but without doubt these are my favourites.  Here's a little more about each of them.

First is MAC Girl About Town a pretty bright pink which is rich with deep pigmentation and blue toned. I like this lipstick because firstly the shade suits my skin tone well whether I'm on the paler side or sporting more of a golden glow. It also makes my teeth look whiter which is an added bonus. The formulation is soft, smooth and creamy because the finish is a Cremesheen, my favourite finish from MAC and this lipstick is not at all drying. Despite the colour being bright it also doesn't bleed so there is no need to wear a lip pencil.

Next is the MAC Rebel which in the black bullet casing looks like a scary dark shade but when it is swatched it is in fact a deep berry shade which looks gorgeous with a smokey eye in the evening. I really love this lipstick because it's different to any others in my collection and the formula is creamy and hydrating on my lips so it is comfortable to wear. The finish is Satin.

One of my favourite brands for lipstick is up next and that is Chanel. I love their timeless packaging because the simple black and gold looks elegant and expensive.  The shade, Le Braiser,  is what I would describe as a mid-toned pink because it isn't a pale nude but at the same time isn't a bright pink like Girl About Town so it's perfect to wear during the day or evening when you want a pop of colour on your lips but nothing too in your face. This pretty shade from the Rouge Coco range is very easy to wear and the flawless formula is soft, creamy and luxurious meaning it feels very hydrating on the lips. I love it.

Next is the first of three YSL lipsticks, again one of my all time favourite lipstick brands and that is number 60 from the Rouge Pur Couture range which means the package is a chunky gold case which the YSL brand simply stamped on the front. This packaging feels expensive and can be doubled up as a handy mirror but isn't my favourite as I do prefer the Rouge Volupte Shine range as it's so delicate. The formula smells sweet and fruity and again is super creamy and soft so it feels moisturising on my lips. The shade is also a really deep pink that has a gorgeous shine and glides over the lips perfectly. This lipstick also has SPF 15.

The second YSL lipstick I have is from the Rouge Volupte Shine Collection and this is number 5 a rich berry pink that has a very glossy finish. This is a darker pink than MAC Girl About Town and shiner but both are equally as beautiful. As for the formulation, it's very creamy and hydrating so it applies like a dream.  The packaging is also stunning because it has the pretty gold casing and intricate detailing in the middle giving a hint of colour with the brand entwined inbetween.

The last YSL lipstick is another from the Rouge Volupte Shine range and that is Number 8 a pretty pink/nude which is really easy to wear. This shade looks beautiful when teamed with simple day time makeup or a heavier look in the evening. The finish again, is high shine and the formula is very hydrating. This is probably my most worn lipstick out of all the ones features here because it goes with any makeup look I wear, the formula is comfortable to wear and it can easily be applied on the go.

Soap and Glory Bashful is next on my list and is from the Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick range. I love these lip products because the formula again is soft and hydrating, it applies well and can easily be re-applied throughout the day without going patchy. The formula isn't sticky in the slightest and this pretty pink/nude shade can easily be applied on the go without a mirror. It is actually a very close dupe for the number 8 YSL lipstick as you can read in my post here.

*Clinique Super Strawberry from the Chubby Stick range is next on my list and is another great go to product because it is a 'your lips but better' product. It can easily be applied on the go and again is very moisturing on the lips. It has a sheer coverage but is buildable so you can make the colour as dark as you like and I like the retractable packaging.

I'm a big fan of Urban Decay products and their lip products are no exception. The Super Saturated High Gloss Lip Colours are stunning. The formula is so smooth and creamy it literally melts onto your lips and they have a beautiful shimmer running throughout them which make your lips look full and plump. As the formula is so moisturing it is very comfortable to wear and the shade Love Child is a pretty pink/nude which is really easy to wear and apply on the go. The only down point is that you have to sharpen them which can be pretty messy and wasteful.

Last but not least is another Clinique Chubby Stick but this time in the shade Woppin' Watermelon. This is a light pink shade which adds a really subtle baby pink colour to the lips and looks lovely with subtle makeup during the day. It is the perfect lip colour to wear if you want to wear a lip product but don't want anything too heavy or over the top.

I love each and every one of these lip products and really enjoyed sharing them with you all in today's post. I hope you enjoyed reading :)

Review | YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick Dupe

Hello Beauties! When I recently bought the Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Bashful I made an exciting discovery.... it is a very close dupe to the YSL Rouge Volupte No.8 Lipstick that I have been raving about!

The YSL lipstick is one of my all time favourites. The packaging is absolutely stunning and I don't think any other brand compares at the moment. The gold casing makes the product look and feel expensive and I love the intricate detail in the middle showing a hint of colour inbetween the entwined YSL branding. As for the lipstick itself? It's equally as gorgeous. No 8 in the Rouge Volupte range has a beautifully soft, creamy formula which applies like a dream and is smooth and hydrating on the lips. It isn't particularly long lasting but as this shade is a pretty baby pink it's easy to apply on the go and because the formula is so moisturising it doesn't matter how many times you re-apply, your lips aren't left feeling dry or looking patchy.

Another lip product I have also raved about are the Soap and Glory Gloss sticks however, until recently I only owned the red which is called Plum Jam. Last week I purchased Bashful as I love plum jam but wear pinks more often and it wasn't until I swatched it with YSL No 8 during a lipstick post that I realised they are practically the same. 

Of course, the packaging varies dramatically, Soap and Glory being more edgy and basic than it's luxurious YSL counterpart but the twist mechanism works well and I still like it. The formula is also very similar as it is soft, creamy and nourishing on the lips and the shade sheer but buildable. As you can see from the swatches above, both colours are almost identical to each other so much so that if I was shown both I definitely wouldn't be able to tell the difference. You wouldn't think it by looking at them side by side in the packaging though because Bashful looks alightly darker but its the swatches and application on the lips that count... And those are the same. Both lip products also have the same beautiful shine, are comfortable to wear and a dream to apply.

Besides the packaging there is of course one major difference between these two products and that is the price tag. The YSL Rouge Volupte lipstick in No. 8 is priced at £25.00 whereas Soap and Glory Bashful is only £8.00 so in comparison is a complete bargain!

What do you think of this dupe?

Monthly Round Up | Favourite June Posts

Yet another month has passed and that means it's time for another round up of my favourite posts during June. This month saw a large variety of posts from beauty reviews, to tips, favourites and events and surprisingly I found it pretty easy to pick my favourites this time, some of which I feel very passionately about.  Here they are:

#1 Ruby's Story: A Rescue Dog

My favourite post of this month marked my dog's 4th Birthday and that was a story about her life so far. She is a rescue dog and a gift from my parents for getting a 1st in my joint honours degree in Business Adminstration with Computing with a Year in Industry. We don't know much about her past but when we first brought who own it become obvious some of things she must have gone through. This post tells all about the first day we saw Roo, to bringing her home and 4 years later how she is settled and rules the roost!

#2 My Haircut at the Michael Van Clarke Salon in London

Next is a post I wrote about my experience at the Michael Van Clarke hair salon in London. The previous week I went to an event there we were all about the 3 More Inches range by the man himself and I was lucky enough to follow that up with my very own haircut. 

While I was there I learnt more about hair care, the exclusive diamond hair cut they offer and more.

#3 My Top 5 Soap and Glory Products

I've always been a big fan of Soap and Glory so I thought it was about time I wrote a blog post on my top 5 products. Even though there are loads to choose from, ranging from skin care to makeup I actually found it really easy to make my choices because these are the clear winners to me. I love each and every one of them, particularly the Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Sticks.. they are amazing.

#4 Things To Do in London

This month also saw another lifestyle post, this time about things to do in London. This is part of a mini series I am doing that was inspired by my boyfriends Birthday back in March when I was trying to think of places to take him as a surprise.

This post is the second in the series and covers a few interested places in London to visit whether you live there or are a tourist.

#5 My YSL Rouge Volupte Collection

My all time favourite lipsticks are definitely either by Chanel or YSL and this month saw a post about my YSL Rouge Volupte Collection. I have three lipsticks in total which are all beautifully pigmented shades which the moist hydrating luxurious formula I have ever used.

#6 Tips for Burning Candles

I'm a little addicted to candles. I burn them pretty much every day as I find they create a really nice ambiance in a room, are relaxing to watch due to the pretty flicker of the flame and can make an entire house fill with their wonderful fragrance.

When I first started burning them several years ago I didn't realise there is actually a set method that should be used in order to prolong the life of a candle and make sure it burns correctly. This blog post is also about tips I have read about over the years or discovered myself.

#7 My Beauty Wish List

Next is a post all about my current beauty wish list. This ranges from makeup to brushes and skincare and is definitely the list of products I am lusting after at the moment.

#8 Handmade Kimberley Wilson Amethyst Necklace Review 

Last but not least is a review I wrote about a gorgeous hand made amethyst necklace by Kimberley Wilson. This isn't a brand I had heard of before blogging but is one I really like. This is one of the reasons why I love blogging so much. You can discover amazing small businesses that have so much on offer. This unique piece of jewellery is stunning.

Monthly Favorites | May

Another month has flown by and that means one thing.. it's time for my May favourites! I have a real mixture of products this time and I didn't realise how many I had collated until I started editing the pictures.. this is going to be a long post guys! Let's get started...

MAC Eyeshadow Palette | Link

I bought this limited edition eyeshadow palette last year but I didn't really start to use it properly until recently. I'm not too sure what happened, I guess it just ended up in my dressing table drawer to be forgotten about for a while but over the past month I have been reaching for this palette every day. 
The shades in this palette are perfect for me as I'm a neutrals girl and they are all really easy to wear. During the day I tend you use the middle taupe shade the most but you can blend all of them out to make them suitable for both day and night (except for the black). I really love this palette and the shades are easy to work with and add a little extra shimmer without being too over the top.
Despite this palette being sold as limited edition I'm sure I saw them on display in Selfridges in London a couple of weeks ago so maybe they are part of the permanent range now. Definitely take a look because the shades are all so beautiful and there are others available too.

*Bio Oil | Link  
I first started using Bio Oil on and off a year ago but recently I've gone back to it and it works really well to hydrate my skin. It's nice to switch to oil from a moisturiser occasionally and you need very little of this product for each application as a little goes a long way. it also smells lovely!
This is also a product my family enjoy using! 
Read my full review here.

*St Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Lotion | Link  
I absolutely love having a tan but as I haven't been on holiday for a while and most of the time the weather in the UK isn't the best it's pretty hard to get and maintain a tan. This means I have been turning to fake tan more and more because it gives me a confidence boost.
I've tried quite a few tanning products from a range of brands but without doubt my current favourite is the St Tropez Bronzing Lotion for the following reasons:
- It's easy to apply - The dispenser works perfectly (I've this to be a problem with other products in the past) - You get even coverage - You get a natural bronzed glow - It's long lasting - It doesn't smell bad
I'm almost at the end of this bottle and I will definitely be repurchasing.. I love this fake tan! I will be doing a full review on this product soon.

La Prairie Midnight Rain Perfume | Link  
I love fragrances and one of the more recent ones to be added into my collection is Midnight Rain by La Prairie. Firstly I love this perfume because the packaging is stunning. It's really different from your standard transparent glass bottles and it definitely mimics a dark night sky.
As for the fragrance itself? It's rich, floral, sweet and feminine and is perfect to wear in the evening, however, from time to time I have also used it during the day because I love it so much!
The staying power of this perfume is also pretty good. It easily lasts all evening but naturally does fade a little.
Read my full review here.

Real Techniques Contour Brush | Link  
Over the past month I have been using this contour brush by Real Techniques regularly but not to contour. Rightly or wrongly, I have been using this to blend in my concealer as I'm yet to find the perfect brush for that. I find the MAC concealer brush a little too hard and this one a little soft but with the latter I do find I can buff the product into my skin pretty well to prevent any caking or streaky lines so I prefer it.
I seem to have a habit of using Real Techniques brushes for things other than their purpose and I like them because they are soft, work well with the products and are easily available on the high street.

L'Oreal Super Liner | Link  
The next product I have been loving over the past month is the Super Fine Eyeliner by L'Oreal. The tip is so thin it is really easy to get a precise line and I love that the colour is jet black. When it comes to staying power, this product is really good at that too. I can apply it first thing in the morning and it's still in place by the end of the day if it is used over the top of powder eyeshadow. Unfortunately, it doesn't work so well over cream eyeshadow's, though.

YSL Mascara | Link

Last but not least is the YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Luxurious mascara in black. I love this because the mascara is jet black so it is perfect to wear in the evening when you want darker eye make-up, although I do wear this in the day too.

The packaging, like all YSL products is also stunning and houses a beautiful formula which lengthens my lashes and adds volume. I do find it a little clumpy at times so I always scrape the extra product off before application but that works well and guarantees good looking lashes every time.
