top 5 lipsticks

The last time I did a post like this was right at the start of when I was writing and did "my foundations" (you can read that HERE) and I haven't really done anything else like it. So I thought I would go along the same lines as that and do a lipsticks one but do my top 5!


In first place is probably my Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in 09. I LOVE THIS!! It is a deep red / berry shade and looks really nice all year round. It has a really nice consistency and feels nice when you apply it on the lips. It is quite silky but also almost a matte quality as it stays on for the majority of the day. Bit weird, but it also smells amazing! I have a lot of Kate Moss lipsticks and I love them all but this probably has to be my favourite. If you have a spare £6 ish I would probably get this lipstick. 



 Next up is the Maybelline Colour Sensational lipstick in the shade Pink Pearl (about £7). The texture of this lipstick is AMAZING! As you can see from the picture I don't have much left! It is really silky however looks dryed when you have put it on. I also really like the packaging of this lipstick and the lid also never falls off. There are again a lot of shades in this formula but it is just lovely.


This is probably my favourite shade of lipstick. It is the Maybelline Super Stay 14 hour lipstick in Endless Raisin. Firstly, the shade is a really cute name! The formula is really creamy and soft on your lips and is only about £7. It twists up in a diagonal way so you use one side more than the other so it becomes easier and easier to apply. I have a few different shades of this but Endless Raisin is by far my favourite. I think you would like it.



Thought I would throw a high end brand lipstick in- I wrote about 
this lipstick before when it was my favourite (hadn't discovered my Kate Moss 09!!) which you can look at HERE. It is the MAC Retro Matte Ruby Woo lipstick (A45). This is a bit of an unusual shade for me as it such a bright red and I tend to wear the more berry colours. It is very very matte and creamy and well, I dunno, I just love it! It is more expensive (about £16) but you can definitely tell the difference between qualities! 






Finally, more of a recent favourite is the Collection Cream Puff in Candy Floss. It is not really a lipstick but it looks like you are wearing one. It is a lip cream and stays on really well. I have to also mention, this smells GORGEOUS! Seriously, if it was a candle it would be my favourite! Better yet, it is £3!!! It is such a good value for money! I would say the consistency is just as good as the Maybelline ones which are £7-8. If you are running low of cash, I would get this without a second thought!




So those are my favourite lipsticks. They are all lovely and remember there are other shades to suit your skin. Hope you enjoyed.

february favourites

I can't believe that 2 months of the year have finished! It literally feels like a week since I was doing January favourites! Anyway, its time for February favourites...

My first favourite (which I haven't got a picture for) is going jogging! I wasn't really a sport person but since Lent has started, I have sort of gone on a major health kick! I have stopped eating loads of rubbish and started going running three or four times a week. I have actually been really enjoying it and feel really proud when I have been. My dog also loves coming with me and he keeps me company! 



I have been loving the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation recently and have probably used it near enough every day in February. As you all know, usually I wear No7 Stay Perfect Foundation but someone told me how much they loved this so I thought I would give it a try. I brought this in True Ivory which is a bit light for my skin tone but I needed a slightly lighter foundation anyway as it was approaching spring. It makes your face look shiny (in a nice way) and gives it a sparkly glow. It does actually give a "airbrush" effect and the bottle is also really nice!

Another product on my favourites is Simple Purifying Cleansing lotion. I know Simple isn't really a top end brand but I absolutely love it and was also featured in my post called Spoil Me Sunday (which you can read HERE). From the cold weather, I started to develop some really dry skin patches around my nose, eyes and forehead and was starting to ruin my makeup. I started using this every night and has really made a difference! I forgot to put it on for JUST one night and my dry skin came back! This is seriously a miracle worker and very cheap- I absolutely love it! 



Another skin / beauty product which I have really enjoyed using is the Sleek Contour kit! I mentioned that I wanted to buy this in my MAKEUP WISHLIST and later brought it. I have it in medium and it really gives a three dimensional aspect to your face so that you don't appear flat and boring when you have your foundation on. I have been using the dark powder down my cheekbones which really make them stand out and the lighter as a highlighter underneath my eyes and down my nose. It is quite matte and is also pretty cheap! I have definitely become a Sleek Lover and joined the crew. 




Weirdly enough, I realised that I didn't actually have a Bronzer in my collection! So around the end of January I decided that I really needed one but didn't want to spend a lot of money incase it didn't suit me or it was the wrong shade. I picked up the Collection Bronze Glow Shimmer in medium. THIS IS AMAZING! It has a subtle glitter in it which gives you a really pretty complexion and really complements the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation as your skin really does glow and looks really healthy. Just realised nearly all these favourites are skin related.. oh well!


Finally, a really random and odd favourite but I have been loving The Sims 3! Yes I know that there is now the Sims 4 but I really like this one and the Sims 4 is quite expensive. I have been playing it so much and I just really like designing houses and making cute little people! I have also been watching people like Alfie Deyes and "Zoella" (her blog is HERE) play on Youtube which is really interesting and funny to see how other people do it and how they design their lives. Don't know why I love it so much.. I am just addicted! If you are creative, this is a must have.




So those are all my favourites- mainly skin related and a few random and I will hopefully being posting more again now!

See you all soon Xxx
