Review: Lime Crime 'Pink Velvet' Velvetine.

Hey all,

Well it's nearly the New Year and the start of #JanBlog. I hope you all participate. All info here.

Today I have a review on a Lime Crime Velvetine. I bought mine off Love Make Up for £12. They usually retail for £13.50 plus P+P.


I ordered this the day after Boxing Day on the 27th Dec and got it this morning (30th Dec). Fast fast delivery, very impressive.

Soooo, onto the product.




Firstly, the packaging is gorgeous. The roses and colours make it so girly but the glass bottle makes it luxurious. If you notice the applicator is tiny and I mean half the size of a normal one. The colour is definitely different. I thought this would be like my NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in 'Addis Ababa' or MUA Luxe in 'Criminal' but it's not at all.



Excuse the awful lip pic. I will do a video today on this and compare it to the others mentioned above.

The colour to me almost comes off as a pink/red. It is bright but not super bright like Barry M's '52'. The small applicator is more of a round tip than the normal one so it can make it tricky to apply (see picture below). The liquid to matte formula is also strange as I found this quite runny.



You might not think I like this product by reading this BUT I do love it. It's indeed longlasting, waterproof and does not budge. Nothing can move this, NOTHING! The key to taking it off the lips is grab a wipe, wrap your finger in it and take it off that way.

Have a wonderful New Years Eve and see you on the 1st of Jan for #JanBlog.

Lots of love,

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms | JanBlog #20

Image
Hey guys, Well I ran out this morning to grab the new Revlon Colorburst Balms as I have seen them on every American YouTube video and blog so I needed one at least, or them all. Now they had the 'Just Bitten Kissable', 'Lacquer Balms' and 'Matte Balm' in stock, for now. They seemed to be going fast. I really didn't like any of the others and my hand was full of swatches. Sometimes I just get very focused on particular shades, like today. I have this bad habit of going for bright pinks and deep reds lately and everything I buy lip wise lately is cool toned haha. How pretty do they look? I got 'Standout' which is the deep red and 'Showy' which is the vibrant pink. Both cool toned hehe. They seem to be exclusive to Boots at the moment but are on their website, click here. They retail for £7.99 and are excluded from any offer going on at the moment. They have a wide range of colours in all versions of the balm. A

My Acne Story | LUSH Grease Lightning

Image
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

Collection Does It All 5in1 Mascara

Image
Hey. Well the other week I saw Shaaanxo instagram a picture of her lashes using a Collection mascara. I thought wow that's pretty impressive for a product under £5. This mascara claims to curl, volumise, lengthen, condition and that it's long wearing. I can tell you now this is all true. I have been testing this for about a month now and it is seriously impressive.  I am terribly fussy with mascaras. I don't tend to like the massive wands with tonnes of bristles sticking every which way. It was very surprising to me that I love this mascara. The wand is very comparable to Maybelline 'The Rocket' and Benefit 'They're Real'. When I tried Maybelline's 'The Rocket' I was constantly poking myself in the eye or mascara would go all over my eye lid. I didn't find that it did a whole lot for my eyelashes. This beauty is £4.99 in Boots or Super Drug and sometimes they have it on offer for £4. I genuinely love this
