I went on a girls night out and for the 1st time in a long time I decided to do a red lip instead of a bold eye. I have always loved a red lip with my pale skin and I have tons of them, way more than I will every wear but every time I see a nice one in the shop I have high hopes and think yes I will wear this and I will not waste my money but I am never really brave enough to wear them so they just sit there in my makeup draw but I decided to take the plunge and wear one, I am so glad I did as this lipstick is amazing, I am in love with it, This will be in my February favourites for sure! The Lipstick looks way more orange and toned down in this picture but in real life it is more of a bright true red! (I will try and get a better picture of it for my favourites post)
I know I am a few days late but I am sure you guys don't mind, so here are my February favourites, Enjoy :)
Revlon Really Red Matte Lipstick
This is a blue based bright matte lipstick. It is basically like a 'true red' kind of colour. I took the plunge a couple of weeks ago and decided to finally start wearing some of my bold colours. I love this shade against my pale skin and dark hair. I haven't ventured out wearing this in the day yet, I have only been wearing it on nights out. It is not as drying as most matte lipsticks that I have tried. It lasted a good amount of time on my lips before I had to top up and that was with drinking. I love this range of Revlon Lipsticks, I have a few shades and definitely worth the £7.49 price tag. You can find it here at Boots and Superdrug!
Loreal Glam Shine Stain Splash - 402 Milady
As I liked the red lipstick so much I decided to carry on and try some more bold colours and when I saw this in superdrug I swatched it and loved the colour then a couple of minuets later when i tried to rub it off and it left a stain (well duh) but it would not come off my hands till the next day so I had to go back and pick it up and I am so glad I did. I picked up a few colours so I wont go in to too much detail as I plan on doing a full review but what I will say is they are amazing. I am sure a lot of you have heard that they are dupes for the YSL glossy stains so will do a little comparison as-well Milady is a gorgeous pinky plum colour. It lasted about 2 hours on the lips as a gloss and then left behind a gorgeous stain that lasted a good 5 hours. I can see a little obsession coming and I am going to need every single shade from the collection...sorry purse:) They are currently 3 for 2 at Superdrug and Boots
Sudocrem- I know most of you have heard of putting this cream on spots by now so I wont go in to alot of detail. I tried it when I was a teenager and had a lot of spots and I didn't think it worked which is properly because I was impatient and when it didn't work overnight I stopped. I don't know why but I decided to give it another whirl and I fell in love with it. I had a massive spot at the beginning of the month and I could not stop messing with it and picking at it, (I know I know naughty me) usually when this happens the spot will be there for months but using this it had faded by the end of the week :)
Backcombing Brush I have been using this basically everyday to just lightly tease my roots. I have a second crown so my hair falls really funny and for ages I was just using a comb to tease the hair in place and to give it some volume, but now that I have this I wont be going back. There is something about this brush that grabs the hair and pulls it back.
L'Oreal telescopic mascara
I have had this for a while and I never understood the hype, it just did nothing for my lashes I think it is because I already have long lashes just not many of them so I need volume so it just didn't do my lashes any justice, but I decided to whip it out and give it another go as we all know mascara sometimes get better once they have dried up a little bit and tried it on my bottom lashes and loved it. it has a thin plastic wand which separated and defined them really well and I can tell this will become a staple in my makeup bag.
Know for some random favourites Music Avicii I could be the one
TV My Mad Fat Diary
Books Pretty Little Liars - I have been loving the TV show for a while now and finally decided to start reading the books. I know I am so late on the bandwagon but I didn't think they were my kind of thing but I am so glad that I gave it a go and I have been really enjoying them, I can see why everyone loves them so much :)
I thought I would do a blog post on what is in my on the go makeup bag that goes around with me for touch ups. I try not to carry to much but having oily skin my makeup tends to melt off after a few hours.
