Topshop Lips in Wicked
Sunday, 28 October 2012
Topshop Lips in Wicked is one of two new colours from the "Dark Side Of Nude" collection. This collection also features another lipstick in the shade "Fawn"; Mascara in "Onyx"; two eyeshadow trios in "Prism" and "Atmosphere" (which I LOVE); and three nail varnishes in "Granite", a beautiful deep grey, "Stardust" a golden glitter and "Panther" a black and silver glitter mix. This collection is differently packaged from the usual Topshop makeup. Usually, it's in the white packaging with either black polka dots, or stripes. But Topshop as stepped up the classiness with this collection, with everything packaged in matte black with shiny black graphic accents.
What I Bought in Duty Free
Tuesday, 9 October 2012
Most of the time when I go on Holiday, I plan to buy my favourite perfume in duty free. I always buy the biggest bottle and it lasts me about two years, so I can justify the price of it anyway because it is expensive. My favourite perfume is Miss Dior, and I have been using the one I already had less because I was running low. I was going to get my sister to buy me it when she went to Ibiza because I wasn't supposed to be going away this year. But, because I ended up going away I waited to get it myself. I honestly love this perfume so much! I'm going to keep this one in the box just now because now I can finish my old bottle!
What's in my Travel Makeup bag?
Wednesday, 3 October 2012
I was going to try and take minimal makeup with me on holiday, especially because I plan on buying some in duty free at the airport. When I photographed it all it looked like a LOT, but then I realised that in the grand scheme of all of my makeup, this is actually only a small amount! I probably wont use it all either, but you never know what you'll feel like wearing. I've linked any reviews to products I've included - anyway on to what I'm taking!
Rouge Dior Nude - 553 Sillage
Tuesday, 25 September 2012
Hello Lovelies,
A few posts back, I had my little mini Dior Haul and I bought this lipstick. I've been absolutely loving it and have worn it most days that I've been wearing makeup. It's a warm pink, and due to the natural tone of my lip I find it just enhances it making them look a little richer in colour, with a more luxurious moisturised texture.

Hi Lovelies!
I recently purchased my first ever YSL lipstick, and I have to say that I found it so difficult to choose a shade! I would have them all if I could. But I decided on this one, as I really don't have a similar shade in all of my many lip products.
I love the packaging, it looks so chic. That was one of the reasons I was dying to own one to be honest! This glides on pretty well, but I find I have to really make sure I don't have and dry patches on my lips and that they are well moisturised as it clings to them and settles there. Although, it doesn't dry my lips out, they just have to be well cared for. I find the texture unusual because it isn't like any other lip product I've used. It's almost velvety.

Dior Haul

Hello Lovelies!
A couple of weeks ago I was in Glasgow, and I went to have a look at the Dior counter, because I love their makeup but never actually owned any. I was speaking to one of the girls who works on the counter about how much I love their very famous highlighters, Rose Diamond and Amber Diamond. I was pretty gutted when she told me they were all sold out and weren't getting them back in as they were going to discontinue them, and then re-launch Amber Diamond, possibly under a different name and design - but this means that the time to get your hands on Rose Diamond is limited because once it's gone, it's gone! I hope she's wrong, but, anyways!
I went home and scoured the internet to try and find places where it was still in stock, and at the moment they are still both in stock at John Lewis online and Selfridges online (not sure about in store). I ended up ordering from Selfridges as they had the lipstick I wanted too (John Lewis didn't), so I thought it was a better idea to get them both from the same place.
I decided on Amber Diamond for the highlighter. Even though this is coming back out at some point, I just gravitated towards this one, I was a bit worried that Pink Diamond wouldn't go well with my complexion. But if it gets to next month and I've got a bit of spare money and it's still available somewhere I might get it.

Hello Lovelies!
In my August monthly favourites post I mentioned that this had been a favourite. I hope in the photos you can see why. For me, this is the perfect 'your lips but better' colour. It looks slightly brown toned in the bullet but once applied it sheers out and looks more pink.

Hello Lovelies!
A while ago, I was having a bit of an endeavour trying to find a neutral lipstick that suited me. I found that a lot of them were far too peach toned, and really just looked like 'foundation lips'. Which I absolutely HATE *shudders*. Anyway I was having a good look around the Chanel counter in boots when I found this one. I swatched it and noticed a difference from the others straight away. It was slightly darker, slightly more sheer and it had pinkish undertones! I was sold, because before getting this I didn't have a neutral lip that I could wear every day, if I wanted to.
It comes with the signature Chanel lipstick packaging - black with the gold band. Which I love, I have a bit of a love for all of the Chanel packaging, it's always so sleek!

Makeup and Skincare haul! feat. Chanel and Origins
Friday, 6 July 2012
Hello Lovelies!
This is part two of my recent shopping trip, featuring the makeup and skincare I bought!
Firstly I knew I needed a new moisturiser as the one I had only has 1-2 uses left. So I decided to buy an origins one because I have and love their Ginzing eye cream. I decided to go for the Dr Weil Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief. My skin is a very annoying combination if I'm being honest. It's really oily in places, and really dry in places, I break out easily and it takes FOREVER for red marks and sensitive spots to clear up. So this seemed like the perfect option as it's soothing to irritated skin and very moisturising. The only thing is, it's really expensive, so it better be worth it or I wont be a happy lady!
£46.00 - 50ml
