Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipsticks in 02, 03, 06 and 19 | Review

I am a little obsessed with lipsticks lately and was trying out a lot, so this time I decided to share my love to Bourjois' Rouge Edition that came out not so long ago. The lipsticks I picked up are in shades 02, 03 06 and 19, and  an absolute winner for me is 02 which is kind of a purple/brown-ish shade. Then 03 and 19 are coral shades, but 19 is more of a sheer and light colour. The least favourite of mine is 06 (a frosty pink), it just doesn't suit my complexion. All the lipsticks are well-pigmented and moisturising, and deliver just the right amount of shine. My lips tend to get dry easily and peel, which makes it hard to find good lipsticks (and that's probably the reason why I've been trying out so many) but these are just perfect. They stay on for ages as well, however I re-apply every now and again because I'm just so used to it. I really like the packaging too, it's quite classy and you can see the colour of the lipstick at the bottom, plus I love the click it does while closing (I'm weird like that). I would love to try a few more shades and will definitely re-purchase 02 and 19.

MAC Lipstick in Peach Blossom | Review

I went a little makeup crazy this month and got quite a few lipsticks, but decided to review MAC's Peach Blossom first because I'm quite literally in love with it. And I only got it a few days ago. Love at first sight that was. It's a really lovely peachy pink shade with sheer and glossy coverage. It gives my lips just the right amount of shimmer making them look subtle as well as adds a nice glow. It's not a long-lasting type of lipstick (Cremesheen) but re-applying every now and then doesn't really bother me because I do it with any lip product anyway. I think what I like most about this lipstick is that it doesn't dry out my lips like so many other ones tend to do since my lips can get chapped easily. Peach Blossom is the perfect shade of nude for me (fair) or at least I think it is because I like it so much, but I've tried so many nudes before and none suited me. I'm so glad I got this and would recommend it to anyone. I'm definitely re-purchasing it once it's used up.

Have you tried any of the Cremesheen lipsticks?

Cath Kidston Wild Flowers Assorted Lip Balms | Review

As big of a lip balm lover as I am I had to get these as soon as I saw them (plus they are Cath Kidston and I absolutely adore that brand). The lip balms are in Bluebell, Honeysuckle and Wild Rose. I'm not too keen on the last one, smell of roses on my lips just feels wrong to me for some reason but I know a lot of people that like it so. I'm head over heels with the other too though, they smell gorgeous. The balms are extremely moisturising, a little too much I would say. It feels like my lips are wet if I put on more than one layer, so I try to stick to one. I really like trying out new lip balms, especially the ones that are nicely scented so I will definitely keep using those for a while, until I spot something new again probably. They stay on fairly long, but need re-applying every now and again. The packaging is the first reason I picked them up, Cath Kidston packaging is one of the prettiest I've ever seen. It's a little expensive but you can treat yourself from time to time and three lip balms for £10 isn't too bad considering one sells for £5.
Have you tired them? What's your go-to lip balm?

Benefit Fake Up Concealer

This concealer caught my eye weeks ago when I first saw it in a magazine as an item to be released, it looked different to any other I've tried or seen so obviously the mode 'I want!' turned on. Last week I checked my Boots points balance and I was pleasantly surprised I had more than enough to get Fake Up with them (thanks Boots!). I've been using it for about a week now and I'm so happy with it, it's actually my new favourite concealer. I have Fake Up in shade Light and it matches my skin perfectly. It's really easy to apply and blend in, however it's more sheer than usual concealers. I've read some reviews saying that it doesn't cover dark circles well but unfortunately I cannot justify that because I don't have dark circles. Maybe that's why I love it as much as I do, I have nothing to complain about. The staying power is great, lasts throughout the whole day without creasing. I also love the packaging, it's really pretty and different to any other concealers. Honestly, I cannot tell you how much I love this product and will definitely re-purchase once it's finished.

Model's Own Scented Nail Polishes

I had these varnishes on my last wishlist actually and was really eager to try them because I was looking for good scented nail polishes that would work for me. All of the ones I tried so far were a bit of a disappointment, the smell just wasn't right or didn't last for long. About a week ago I got Model's Own varnishes in three shades: Blueberry Muffin, Apple Pie and Strawberry Tart (3 for 2 in Boots is always good). All of them are pastels, which is my favourite kind of nail polish shade range. I actually didn't have pastels this light in my collection, which makes me want to get the other two shades that came out too. They apply easily, however I needed three layers to get the opaque look (two looked good enough but not amazing). I change my nail colour every two or three days usually but during this time they didn't chip at all so I wouldn't be surprised if they lasted a whole week. The scents are all really nice and yummy (my favourite is Blueberry Muffin), and I was pleasantly surprised that they lasted until I took the polish off. On the third day the scent wasn't as strong as during the first two, but it was still there. I am so glad I got those, finally found scented nail varnishes in which the smell lasts longer than a few hours. And with only £5 a bottle (or 3 for £10 in Boots at the moment) they are definitely worth their price tag.
