A How To Guide | JanBlog #5

Hey all,

How are we? Well my Aunt Dervela asked me how to stop a lipstick bleeding and what methods I use, so here is how I do it. The pictures aren't perfect and I might not do this how you would. Everyone is different :D


Here I have lined my lips with MUA - Brooding Plum lipliner. This is a gorgeous maroon/red colour.


I use Brooding Plum with Urban Decay's Shame lipstick. The formula is very creamy and can be messy if you're not careful. I have a very obvious 'M' shape on my mouth so I tend to spend ages doing this and I do use a tonne of liner.



The ever so slightly caption on the picture was a joke as there is a tonne of my lips filled in haha. I used Essence - Femme Fatale this time around. I have recently purchased the brilliant Lime Crime Velvetine in Pink Velvet. Whilst it is all things amazing, it has a small applicator and is very liquidy.









Here is the Velvetine applied. Beautiful. May I add that these do not budge. You can drink, eat and wet your lips and it will not move. AMAZING.

To my Aunties that told Dervela about lip liner being out of fashion? Pfftt no it's not haha. Silly silly. It is sometimes a must especially with darker lip shades. It is always helpful to have a concealer handy to mark out your lips should you need to. Always have a concealer your skin colour for this.


I hope this was helpful Dervela :D

Lots of love,

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
