My lipstick collection: Red edition.

Good afternoon,

Well I had a family member ask me about red lipsticks recently so I thought why not show my red lipsticks. I have a handful to show you all. In some of the pics I have earphones in so just ignore that. I was bopping away to The Wanted's new album haha. I am not obsessed with Jay haha.

So, in my pics I opted for a dark purple eye look. I think this look is more suited for night time or clubbing. I wanted to picture the red lips with a darker eye to show it's not too much. Sorry for the selfie type pics haha.

  

What I like about this Revlon lipstick is the cool tone red and how gorgeous it is to apply. It is one of their pearl finishes and is extremely long lasting. I think in 5/6 hours I would check it once and either buff it out or reapply. Gorgeous colour.

 

I have three of these lip lacquers and they're all gorgeous in their own right. When Rimmel came out with these I was so happy. A lipstick and gloss in one. These do stain the lips so when it starts to dry out after a few hours there's a stain there. They are longlasting and extremely pigmented. I know loads of people don't like the messy application BUT if you squeeze the wand at the tip before application it makes it easier and there's extra product there if you need it. You need at least one in your collection.


This Revlon lipstick is one of my faves. I LOVE IT. It is a creme finish so a tad soft to apply but don't let that put you off. I use a lip liner for this, my chosen one is Essence - Femme Fatal. So bright and vibrant on the lips. I need to use this more often because it is my fave high street red and a pure red at that. 

 

This is the only matte red I have. I have had Ruby Woo for so long as well. I think this and MAC's Please Me were my first matte lippies. Please Me is a nude/pink so I can't include it here unfortunately.  If you want a gorgeous, vibrant pure red that won't move all day then this is your baby. I think because of the cool undertone this makes your teeth look white and suits all skin tones.

I hope this was helpful. My next edition might be next week. 

Have a great day, I'm off for some Toby Carvery hehe.

NYX Face Off: Soft Matte Lip Cream vs Butter Gloss

Image
Want to know what I think is better from popular brand NYX? I am a huge fan of NYX. I love that whilst they have some dupes for higher end products they have a tonne of their own original products. The Soft Matte Lip Creams are an almost moussey feeling lip cream. I mean they don't call it a cream for nothing. I would highly recommend using a lip balm previous to applying this product. It dries matte so if there are any dry patches, it will sink into them. Whilst on the lips I would let it dry and apply as many coats as you like. I would typically use two. Whilst the colour is a vibrant hot pink (Addis Ababa) it can be sheered out to your preference. I find that these stay on the lips for up to four hours. Now, I have heard a lot about the hyped Butter Glosses. When NYX was released in Ireland earlier this year I decided to try one. I gave into the hype (oh no!). There was quite a selection but opted for Peaches and Cream, a gorgeous pinky coral. I hadn't and sti

My Acne Story | LUSH Grease Lightning

Hello loves,  Well I have a different kind of post today. It is about my acne and a product I tested to try help it out.  I mentioned this in my Top 5 LUSH products post just this week. It is one of a kind. I am about to share some rather honest pictures so look away if you're easily offended.  My skin is oily in the t-zone area and can be dry elsewhere. It is also quite sensitive and I have redness on my jawline that can sometimes be quite visible. I use to have acne prone skin when I was a teenager and into my early 20's.  I will link to the LUSH website where you can see ingredients etc at the end.  I had noticed several blackheads on my face and really didn't want them to sit there and become worse so I decided to try this product. It straight away smells like Witch Hazel and Tea Tree which I like, it's an almost clean smell. It feels like a gel and as it dries you can feel it tighten over the designated area. This disappears when yo

Benefit 'Stay Don't Stray' Review

Image
Good Afternoon, Well it has been a minute since I done a review here. I will explain in a post next week where I have been and all that. So, I have always been a huge fan of the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It is my absolute favourite eyelid primer. Nothing compares to it BUT I needed to try some more high end primers as my curiosity was getting the better of me. I saw some mixed reviews for this Benefit product, like seriously mixed reviews. Sometimes that is the selling point on a product, you have to find out what it's like then. They have two shade varieties, light/medium and medium/deep. What Benefit say about this product 'This dual-action power primer works 360 degrees around the eyes to make concealers AND eyeshadows STAY PUT. Concealers don't crease, eyeshadows stay vibrant & true. Contains sodium hyaluronate known to hydrate and Vitamins C & E known to help fight signs of aging.' When I first wore this product my expectat
