In the Lipstick Tin

Hi Everyone, today I thought I'd show you some of my lipstick collection that I own and I've decided to rate them out of 10, 10 being the best and 1 being the worst. I have others, but this post would get to wayy long and boring if I did them all!

Today I shall be looking at Mac, MUA, Illamasqua and Marks and Spencers.

Mac Russian Red 
I love mac and I think their lipsticks are gorge everything about them: the shades, the textures, the staying power! If you're stuck on a red go with this one its a classic, and such a good shade of colour, with blue under tones it suits most skin types. However it is matte, which my lips can get away with, but I couldn't wear this day after day!
8/10

Mac Lady Danger
Ah this is soo pretty, very bright, when I first got this I was a little scared about how intense the colour is but I thought you know what just go with it! This again is matte, and great for a night out, it has orange undertones, so you get a coral feel from it. This little beauty stains after you take it off though which can be a bit of a night mare! However Id prefer staining than un even lip coverage!
8/10

M&S Auto Graph Wild Geranium
Marks and Spencer's seem to have loads of lines of make up, I have an autograph one and a Limited collection one (these aren't limited edition I think its just the line name). Both of these feel hydrating on the lipsThis is a moisture colour lipstick, so I find that its like a lip balm with colour, so more like a wash of colour, this is has a orange tone to it, it hydrates my lips, so it does what it says on the tin! You have to re apply this every couple hours as it does fade but its to expected as its more of a balm rather than lippy. But it has the best packaging you click it and it pops out! 
7/10

M&S Limited Collection Blush Pink
Its got a nice shimmer to it, the colour is lovely but apart from this its a fairly average and I need to apply a lot in one day! I can't seem to find this shade so I think it may be discontinued.
4/10

MUA Shade 3
I have one in Shade2 and Shade3. For a pound I cannot complain, however they definitely need a lip line to them otherwise they bleed. Both have a satin finish to them. It is a very bright pink I'm not a particularly pink kind of girl so I thought a pound wont break the bank and if I don't like it, it doesn't matter. It has purpley undertones in it which gives a nice fuchsia shade. For the money these are extremely well pigmented, and they don't dry my lips out! I think I'd be more encouraged to wear these if I got round to buying a lip pencil.
6/10

MUA Shade 2
This is similar to the Mac Plumful, but it has a more purple-y tone to it, these don't last that well, but as this is a pound I really can't complain, I got this one to see how similar it was to plumful, but it doesn't quite hit dupe standard! This got a lower score due to the fact its not dupe worthy.
4/10

Mac Plumful
This has to be my favourite! It everyday wearable, it has a lustre finish, doesn't dry out my lips, and it looks pinky but then as it has plum shades in it, which darkens it slightly. Its not to girly but not too vampy!
10/10 

Illamasqua Magnetism
I was sad when I got this, I had really high hopes for this as I love Illamasqua as a brand and all of their products I've tried bar this one. I felt that the shade online was completely different to what it actually looked like in real life, and it just doesn't sit well on my lips. It is a deep purple-y colour in the tube but comes out much lighter on the lip. It also dries out my lips, alot.
3/10




So there you have it, I could go on but I don't want to bore you all!
Are there any lipsticks you've tried that didn't hit the mark as expected?
Let me know

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I

MOTD and products used.

Hi Everyone I thought Id do a Make up of the day, and show you some of the products I use on a regular and not so regular basis. I'm also going to rate the products out of 10. Close up of eyes and contouring So these are majority of products used (bar brushes and one of my broken blushers) sorry for rubbish photo iPhones ay?  These 3 are my go to products for eyes. Products - Skin Based Illamasqua Hydravei l (black pot image below) Its in lots of my posts and it just helps hydrate and set the skin up for makeup. I love it, and I do get compliments when I wear it so it must be good. 10/10 Maybelline Baby Skin - Instant pore eraser? hmm I didn't hold out much hope for this product as I didn't really like the Baby Lips Maybelline bought out a while back. I actually think this product is pretty good and you get quite a bit for the money you pay. I think it does help smooth skin ready for foundation. 6/10 Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum - its

M&S Autograph Gel Eyeliner

Image
As I'm sure you're all aware gel eyeliner has been sat on all the aisles of drug stores for a few years now, some people love it, while others just don't get along with it. I personally love it... sometimes, I have a habit of not putting the lid back on the bloody things, which leads to them drying out and being completely useless and I've tried the youtube tricks to get my gel liners back to their original gel state and it just doesn't turn out the same as before. I've tried Revlon (meh) and Maybelline (okay), and faced up to the fact that I'm not at all responsible for a higher end gel liner like Mac or Bobbi Brown as I'd just forget to put the lid back on thus ruining them forever! However on one occasion I got bored of my mum looking at the home wear section in M&S and took myself off to their make up stand, and what did I come across? Autographs Ultimate Wear Gel eyeliner. I thought I'm in need of a new Eyeliner why not try this?!
