Red


Benefit- Bene Tint. Although for a cheek and lip tint this is quite expensive, I absoloutly love the stuff! The colour is so strong and a little goes a long way. The tint gives the lips a sublte shine, and the cheeks a dewy glow!

Orange..or should I say Coral!

Again, from Benefit, Cha Cha Tint. This was the first Benefit product I actually got bought for me when I mum introduced me to the brand a few years ago, and I still love it! The PERFECT Coral splash to your face


     
Yellow
Not only one of the only yellow things I could find..which is odd because I love yellow! But this really is one of my go to products on a 'washed hair' basis. I apply this (sparingly) to my hair, focusing on the ends where my hair is the driest. I've been using this for a couple of months now and I can totally tell the difference, it leaves my hair feelings soft, looking shiny and really does make a difference to the health of it!



Green 

I just couldn't choose one! Maybe all the best products come in green..



Blue/Indigo

Again, I just couldn't choose one and at the moment I am absolutely loving blue nails! 



Violet 

I currently have my hair in an Ombre' style..but true to my heart im a blondie! I've been bleach blonde for years and I swear by this stuff as my ends are still at the same colour. This is a toner by Pro-Voke which is the best I've found..Bye bye brassy!



And finally..Pink (not really in the rainbow but my favourite brand is all in pink!) 

Soap and Glory- Righteous Body Butter..A..MA..ZING!

Inspired- The Hangover 3, Vegas Style!

Wednesday, May 29, 2013 6 Comments
The Hangover 3 has recently been released in the UK and I am so excited to see it! I've loved all the previous Hangover films and hopefully this one will live up to its expectations! 

The last Hangover is set in Las Vegas, which to me, screams red, black and glamour! I've put together a little fashion and style piece influenced by the upcoming film and set! 

After all, who doesn't love a bit of glitz and glam?

It's the little touches that count..

Clinique Pore Refining Solutions- Instant Perfecter Review!

Friday, May 24, 2013 advice , clinique 3 Comments

  

As far as I'm aware this is a tester size of the product that I am using at the moment because I have ran out of my regular size tube and I haven't had the chance to get out and buy some more with exams and what not :( boohoo! This is a 'pore minimizer' refining lotion, from the well known English brand, Clinique. I suffer from enlarged pores due to my oily/combination skin, as does my mum and we swear by this for a smooth, even foundation application! The one thing I would change about this product however is the smell, in my opinion its quite strong. It doesn't linger on the face, however when applying the product, you can slightly smell it, but that might be just me! 

The formula is a creamy, white sort of cream and blends instantly. I would say there is little, if any colour pay off to the product, however I have it in 'Invisible Bright' which is probably why! The product is also available in 'Invisible Light' and 'Invisible deep'- I found the best one to go for, for me personally is the 'Invisible Bright'- as the colour range is lacking and I think this is the safest option 



On my skin, the lotion is quite brightening, and really does conceal enlarged pores if used regularly and blended well. The forumla is non-drying a light, so can be worn alone, under a primer/foundation-without any 'discomfort' or annoyance. With regards to allergeries, all Clinique products state they are allergy tested, and so far I can vouch for their claim as neither my mum or I have had any problems with the products on our skin.

As you can see from the blended swatch on my hand, the finish is seemingly invisiable and non cakey. I find this refiner really works for my skin and after a long period of use, I struggle much less with my foundation staying on my skin in oily areas and the very well known problem of blocked and visible pores! 
I hope this helps anyone who was considering a pore refiner or simply wanted some more information! 
Do you know any other products that work for you?

MUA Lipstick Reviews and Swatches! Love lipsticks? How about £1.00 lipsticks?!

Thursday, May 23, 2013 5 Comments
 
As you may know from my recent blog post on an MUA eyeshadow palette I love the brand! The quality of the makeup really does exceed the price, however there are some hit and misses! The lipstick collection are all priced at £1.00 which is amazing! And so far the lipsticks in the collection that I've purchased so far seem to defiantly a hit!
The lipsticks that I'm reviewing are : Shade 2
Shade 6
Shade 7
Shade 8
Shade 9
Shade 13
and Shade 15
This is Shade 15 in 'Juicy' with regards to the lipsticks I have so far this seems to be the only one with a name, which is such a shame as | love it when lipsticks have names! This shade is quite drying compared to the rest of the lipsticks, however nothing a little bit of lip balm can't sort out! I'd say this colour will suit lighter skin tones but it really is a lovely peachy orangey colour, perfect for a light bronzed makeup look!

This swatch is of Shade 7, which seems to be quite simular to Shade 15. I think this is the most 'wearable' colours in my collection, I really do love it. For a £1.00 lipstick is isn't at all drying and really is a pleasure to wear. Like Shade 15, it has peachy, orangey undertones which looks lovely with a warm coraly blush!

This swatch is of Shade 8, which is in a lovely, shimmery pink 'under toned' red. Again is a pleasure to wear a guides on nicely onto the lips

I absolutely love this colour! This swatch is of shade 13, and its the perfect bright red, I can't believe these lipsticks are only £1.00! Its a lovely orangey red which is a really current lipstick this season and I hope it stays that way!

This is the lightest, most subtle of the colours that I have from the collection. I wouldn't say its the lest pigmented as the colour is lovely, but the solution of the lipsticks just seem 'lighter' 

This will make your lips pop! It's a rich, pretty, berry toned pink that sits on the lips like velvet, its quite long lasting for a £1.00 lipstick, which carries throughout the entire collection. The subtle hint of shimmer that this lipstick has isn't consistant in the other lipsticks that I have so whether or not this is just in this lipstick or is meant to be in the entire collection I'm unsure! 

Overall, these lipsticks really are good for their amazing £1.00 price, I highly recommend them! 
Please feel free to comment for any questions you may have or just general comments you may have too! xxx

Bold stripes are all over the catwalks and high street this spring and I must say I'm quite a fan! Although sometimes I find stripes hard to work with, I love making a bold statement, I think the yellow checked blouse from Topshop is going to be first new Spring/Summer 2013 stripes buy!
