Maybelline Moisture Extreme in Windsor Rose A60 - Review


After seeing the review for this on The Sunday Girl blog (link) I decided it was the perfect pink beige colour which I just needed to add to my collection !!

The packaging of the lipstick is pretty sturdy and I see no reason as to why the lid would pop off if it was in your bag, also the red doesn't look too cheap, however Maybelline isn't present upon the casing apart from on the bottom label.


The lipstick is a gorgeous creamy consistency which glides perfectly onto the lips.
The scent of the product is a slight watermelon smell, however this does not seem to transfer onto the lips.



Overall, I think this is a gorgeous pink-beige which would go with any skintone, and for the bargain price of £1.99 from eBay (link) you just can't go wrong !!

Have you ever tried a Maybelline extreme moisture lipstick? Are there any other shades you would recommend?

Red bottoms and lipsticks (as per)

Hey everyone, so just a couple of updates really with a couple of OOTD's and some new make-up!!

Today, i've been freezing and so I chose to wear my favouritist cardigan.
Also, as you will notice in my outfits I am loving coloured bottoms atm, just jazzes outfits up!
Please excuse my leopard print socks in this outfit, I was actually wearing my docs, but had just taken them off !
  • Cardigan, Marks & Spencers
  • Pacha vest, Ibiza
  • Wine leggings, Missguided.com
  • Necklace, Marc Jacobs
  • Socks, Tesco

Took a trip to superdrug and as a personal fan of cheap make-up I was very excited to see the new MUA lipsticks, and decided to treat myself to a couple.
The colours which I have here are Nectar - Shade 16 and Bare - Shade 14.
MUA lipsticks smell gorgeous and although these two are a bit more glossy than I would prefer they still stay on for quite a while considering they are only £1!!



Me wearing Nectar above (I am wearing it over Barry M 101 - Marshmallow which is why it doesn't look too orange). Love it loads.
Also got a couple of new Rimmel lipsticks as I couldn't resist, these are lasting fix and as seen are gorgeous natural colours which would go with any outfit or make-up look.



Another outfit from the other day !!




  • Black tee, Topshop
  • Red jeans, New Look
  • Studded loafers, eBay
  • Peacock necklace, eBay
  • Ring, Hedkandi
  • Nail Varnish - Mushroom, Barry M
Hope to post again to you soon now I have found my rechargeable batteries!!

Revlon Pinch Me & More Rimmel Lipstick !


So today after an average day at uni me and my flatmate were bored so decided to take a trip which ended up in me buying more make up products I do not need!!

In addition to yesterday I bought some new lipsticks, Rimmel as usual, I just love the way they smell although I do also love a Barry M lipstick !!

I decided to be brave and buy Coral in Gold 210 which is a lipstick i've always had my eye on but have been nervous to try due to how orangey it looks, however I went for it and I also bought Signature Red 175 which is the perfect everyday red, muted compared to my favourite red of all time Red Hot 168 and i'm also in love with the gorgeous pillarbox red from the £1 Superdrug brand MUA which is gorgeous for a cheaper product.
Here are some swatches of the Rimmel colours! Beautiful aren't they !




I also purchased 3 shades of Revlon's Pinch Me, which is a sheer gel blush. I only tend to wear blusher to contour, apart from pale pinks which I sometimes wear on the apples of my cheeks, so for sheer colours I thought I'd give them a try.
I got them in Peach Afterglow 305, Plum Flushed 315 and Playful Pink 300.
I attempted to swatch them but the colour wouldn't show properly due to them being such a sheer product, but I reckon with a couple of thin layers you could really build up colour.
The only problem I found when I applied the Playful Pink to the apples of my cheeks was that the formula made my foundation run, so I reapplied my powder, and this gave me a lovely finish !!

Now i'm off to paint my toenails in Collection 2000 Hot Looks in Shamless 24, before putting off my uni work for another day, terrible student me !
