NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams

NYX Matte Lip Creams 

NYX is probably one of my favorite brands. Their concealer and foundation form part of my daily make up routine. So when I popped into my favorite make up store Roseberry my eyes immediately flew to these beauties.

Swatches of Prague, Abu Dhabi and Cannes 

Personally I find matte shades more flattering on myself, so you can understand my excitement when I started swatching the colors. After much deliberation I settled for Prague a dark pinky purple super pigmented shade, Cannes and an orangey brown and Abu Dhabi a natural brown shade. 

The packaging is sturdy and cute. The lip creams are very soft and immediately feel wonderful on the lips. The scent is also heavenly with a strong vanilla scent which just brings a smile to my face every time I use them.

In terms of longevity these at the most last for 2 hours, due to their creaminess, they are very easy to wipe off. 

Final Verdict - Lovely smell and color payoff, and relatively affordable the only con is their longevity. This is easily solved by applying every 2 hours. 

MAC Lustering Lipstick

 When I was in London I was constantly on the hunt for a MAC store. When I finally found one I was amazed by how many shades of lipsticks they had.

After much swatching I decided on Lustering. It's the perfect pink with a red undertone. (Think pink watermelon.) It's a very versatile shade and will suit just about everyone and really brightens up your face. When first applied it is very sheer but it can be very easily built up to show it's true bright color thus can be worn in many different ways.

It has a very smooth, creamy moisturizing  finish and very comfortable to have on. What I like about it is that it isn't a bright in your face fuchsia pink, but a more wearable daytime nice and glossy look.

It also has a sweet vanilla scent which is a nice touch.

Autumn Lippy and Nails

A new season call for a new lipstick color! After looking through many websites and searching in shops I finally found the perfect shade from Catrice.

The shade is 340 Berry Bradshaw. This lippy was the last one on sale so it was my lucky day when I found it. The lipstick is very pigmented and gives a matte finish it really goes with anything. For a casual day at university or a swanky night out. The lippy also smells like berries which is so nice when opening it up as it immediately puts a smile on my face.

A matching nail polish color is 113 do you speak love which I found is from essence. It's an interesting color like a browny red. I really like it for fall! The only thing is that it tends to chip very quickly is top coat is a must!

Also I picked up this dark purpley shade by rimmel.It's called 4.3 The High Heel life.  It has has little sparkles in it, which make it look quite mysterious perfect for a winter color!








Well that's all for
today

What did you introduce to your autumn wardrobe?

MUA Matte Palette

This product is probably one of my best purchases. I absolutely love it. The shadows are easy to blend, velvety and very pigmented. I found it so hard to find a palette with only matte colors. Matte colors have the advantage of creating a very casual smoky sexy look.

My most loved are the bottom browns on the left hand side. I put the lighter color on my whole eyelid except the inner corners which the white eye shadow is put and the darker brown on my crease. This adds dept to my eye making them look more open and mysterious.

The only thing I would complain about is the brush included. It is very cheap and doesn't blend very well, but I just use one of my own and the result is quite lovely.

I would recommend this palate to everyone as it is a joy to anyone's make up collection.

4.5/5 stars

Perfect summer lipstick - Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish - Spring Collection Lipstick

Hello again!

This week I feel in love with Kate Moss's Spring Collection Lipstick!  I ordered this from feel unique for 7.14 euro. Which is really quite a bargain for such a high quality lipstick.

The lipstick has a really nice, creamy, velvety texture, and it feels very moisturizing on my lips. It is quite long lasting but if you eat or drink something it's fades away pretty fast as most lipsticks do.

I got it in shade 16 which is the loveliest pretty pale pick you can imagine! I really like wearing this in the morning as it gives a very innocent girl next door look !

I am also in love with the packaging. It has a very clean, polished vibe! It is very compact and will fit into any purse or make up bag! 

All in all I would recommend this lipstick to anyone. Lovely texture, has a very pretty wearable color and very affordable!



I got mine from here. So what are your thoughts? Do you like it ? Have you tried out Kate's Line ?

Rimmel London 1000 Kisses Lip Tint and Balm

The product on my lips

Another day another review! I personally think of myself as a lip girl and when I find a product that I love I simply cannot stop wearing it!

The lip tint is very pigmented and start drying immediately so you don't have to wait ages for it to dry! The lip tint by itself is very matte on it's on.I love this color on my lips and I feel it's very flattering on my skin tone! Also it stays on for a really long time, like 4 hours which is amazing!

The lip balm is very moisturizing also which I LOVE ! I got this product on Feel Unique for 8 Euro! Which is very cheap in my opinion! The only thing that I don't like so much is that it is applied with a marker. It took some getting used to. All In all I adore this product. 5/5 stars

 I got it from here in the color Perpetual Plum.
