March Favourites

So it is April which means it is time for my march favourites

Beauty Favourites

Ysl rouge volupte in shade 13 - I am nude lipstick girl at heart if I feel like pushing the boat out I might wear a baby pink but as the weather has been so nice I have started to be a bit more daring and wearing more bright colours and this peachy coral colour is the one I have been reaching for this month.

Lipcote - I rediscovered my love for this product this month and when I haven’t been wearing  my ysl lipstick I have been using this to make my lipstick last longer you can read my review HERE and enter my giveaway to win a Lipcote HERE

MUA eye shadow in shade 12 - I absolutely love this eye shadow for only £1 its amazing quality it is a gorgeous greenish, reddish brown duo chrome (supposedly a dupe for mac club) I have been using this when I am in a rush as you only need this shade, you can pack it on to the lid and then blend it out in the crease to get the effect of two different colours. Then all you need to do is use a highlighter.

Elnett hair spray - It’s such an amazing hair spray, I have been using it for years. When I run out I buy other hairspray but I always end up going back to this one. It holds my style great but doesn’t look crispy.

Boots extracts coconut body butter - It smells gorgeous and is just so moisturising. I have really dry skin from the winter and this has been a miracle worker for me.

Lipcote review

If you have been reading my blog then you know that I am a lipstick girl but just wished they would just last long (yes, I am looking at you ysl rouge volupte). Well I am sure you know what lipcote is as its been around for over 50 years :) Well if you don’t it is a clear liquid that you brush on your lips after you have applied your lipstick to stop it fading.

When I got lipcote from a friend for Christmas I got all nostalgic because we use to use it when we were younger and first started getting in to makeup. We didn’t really have a clue about it and we just thought we were so cool and grown up. I couldn’t remember much about it or whether it worked just that it stung really bad when you put it on.

What lipcote says:

Give your lipstick staying power!

Stops lipstick marking, staining and feathering - the secret of kissable lips.

If your lipstick is more like lip slip, you really do need Lipcote.

With its original, long-lasting formula, it will keep lips looking luscious & kissable all day long.

      - Effective & Long Lasting.

      - Unique formula made with natural ingredients.

How to use: Apply lipstick and blot thoroughly, apply a thin and even layer of lipcote and allow to dry. 

Since Christmas I have been trying it out and found I love it, it is now a staple in my make-up bag.  I find it makes my lipstick  last around 4/5 hours even with eating and drinking. The downside is that it doesn't work on all lipsticks. I find that it doesn't work with really creamy lipstick you just end up with a gooey mess and it just comes off after 10 mins, which sadly means it doesn't help with ysl issue :( 

It doesn’t really sting like I remember just more of a tingle which only last a few seconds and after you use it a few times you stop feeling it. Try and avoid licking your lips as it does has a horrible taste and it smells strongly of alcohol.

It comes in a nail varnish like bottle so when you are applying it in public you can get some funny looks off people thinking you are putting nail varnish on your lips :/

Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Foundation Review

Hi guys!

Today I wanted to do a review of the foundation I am loving at the moment Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua. I brought it back in the summer and have been using it since.

I will start by saying what type of skin I have which is oily-combination. I use to have bad acne but at the moment my skin is clearing up. I have some acne scars and also big pores around my nose and redness on my cheeks. I have pale skin and I have always gone for matte full coverage foundations so because of this i have found it hard to get a foundation that is pale and matte enough but not make me look dead. I use to wear Estee Lauder double wear but I wanted to take advantage of my skin being clearer and use a lighter foundation.

Chanel says: A new-generation texture. An unprecedented sensory experience. A unique makeup result. Rapid and easy application. Apply your makeup without thinking about it. Its soft and evanescent ultra-fine fluid texture is a real surprise: although exceptionally delicate and light, it offers an incomparable “second-skin”perfecting result. The complexion appears amazingly even, fresh and energised. The skin glows with seemingly nude beauty. As if lit from within. Bathed in light…


I am the lightest shade, b10 (beige-pastel). It is a water based foundation which has light to medium coverage. It doesn’t cover everything for me and I do have to use a bit of concealer to cover a few scars here and there so if you have really bad acne or scaring or I would get a fuller coverage foundation.

It has a natural finish, not to glowy and not to matte. The foundation feels light and so soft on the skin and blends in easily and smoothly. It doesn’t need setting powder but i do use one sometimes and it doesn't end up looking cakey. It last for about 8 hours on me.

Even though the foundation has spf 15 I find that it doesn’t affect photos to much. I personally like the packaging and the fact that it is not In a glass bottle because you don’t have to worry about smashing it and wasting all the product (yep,I have done this before). It cost £31 but a little bit goes a long way so in my opinion it is totally worth it.

Have u tried foundation this foundation, what do you think?
