L'oreal Caresse in 07 Cheeky Magenta - Review

So after hearing at least 10 reviews on this product and numerous more on this particular colour I thought it looked like the perfect lip product for me.

It's not quite a lipstick with full impact colour, but a balm type lip product which still packs a punch in the colour department.
Cheeky Magenta (07) was the colour that drew my eye after seeing swatches from other blogs and it looked like the perfect bluey pink which I feel suits my skin tone best and I've been lacking on wearing pink recently so thought it would be the best spring/summer colour - if the weather EVER brightens up.

So is all the hype true?
YES!!!

This product is literally amazing, and I can't wait to get more when I get paid at the end of the month.
The consistency of the product is smooth, creamy and nourishing to the lips.
I find it does work as a lip balm but not as well as a product simply for this purpose.

Packaging wise I feel the lipstick looks expensive with packaging that is sturdy and won't pop open in your bag.
The fact the top and bottom also represent the colour inside makes it great to find when in a rush instead of opening all your lipsticks up (which I find myself doing too often, especially with Barry M's).

Swatch of Cheeky Magenta 07 - L'oreal Caresse

The staying power is not as good as your usual lipstick, however this is due to the sheer colour and nourishing purposes, it stays on for around 2 hours before needing a top-up, however if you were eating/drinking you'd probably need to reapply straight afterwards.

In cooler lights the blue tones of the pink really come out to play.

In warmer light it comes across as a bright pink.

Overall I feel this is going to be a firm favourite in my collection and as I said I can't wait to try out more in the range and for £7.99 I think this product is totally worth it, as I know I'll get through it during the warmer days !!

What are your thoughts on the L'oreal Caresse range? What colours are your favourite?

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?

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 !

Headbands & Lipsticks

Heyy, so today I didn't have to get up bright and early for uni so decided to take my time getting ready !

I even took the time to put some false eyelashes on !!

With my hair I thought i'd attempt to re-create a hippy look, but I am too much of a wimp to actually go outside with my hair like this, not entirely sure why, I just am.
So to do this I simply straightened the front bits of my hair and some bits around my head (cause my hairs kinda wavy naturally), then I took three sections from the top and teased it backwards before smoothing it out with a comb.
After doing that I clipped my two front sections of hair off my face using bobbypins, and finished by putting on the feather headband which is from Primark, I think it looks so cute, and I defo will be actually wearing my hair like this during summer, need to get more confidence ! hahaa

Anyway as well as my hurr, I also went into town and bought two gorgeous rimmel lipsticks,
one is a gorgeous everyday pink which is nude enough if you don't want people to know your wearing make-up but just pink enough to set your whole make up look off, and that is Pink Corest 008! Stunning.

And the second one I got I was unsure about whether it would suit me, but after looking at plenty of other colours I went for it, and it's True Vintage 123! I got home and put it straight on and I've got to say it's a stand-out colour that doesn't stand-out which makes no sense at all, but I am absolutely smitten with it!! (Wing earrings from New Look).

So that has been my day so far, got to do uni work now which is not fun at all, but hey i've had a lovelyyyyy day.
P.s. my eyelashes are primarks finest £1, love love love them. And my pale orange top is from Urban outfitters with a black Tesco vest underneath!

PEACE xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
