Red lipstick is the classic shade for the festive season, whether it is a sheer red or a full on burgundy shade, you most likely will see someone at the Christmas Work Party rocking one! Having said that there's nothing like a true fiery red to add to the classy look and what better time to share 3 of my favourites, not only for the shade but also the formula!

Kat Von D always surprises with her Holiday collections! This year she launched the stunning Saint & Sinner eyeshadow palette (review coming soon), but also this breathtaking lipstick set!

I've tried her Everlasting liquid lipsticks last year with the shade Double Dare, and fell in love with the formula. It is thin, glides on easily and feels comfortable on the lips, however, if you have to reapply later on the day it may look slightly dryer. I'm ok with it but I know a lot of you don't like to feel the liquid lipstick when it's on, so a heads up for that!

Smashbox is a brand I definitely want to try more from in the future! I usually never visit their counters but to be fair I haven't tried anything that I don't like from them!

The Always On Liquid Lipsticks are hands down one of my favourite formulas of all time so I kinda had to try more from the lip range they offer.

Coming across a deal like this is almost impossible to resist - 5 lipsticks (1 full size 4 mini) for 29,99£ is just too good to be true... so on my Boots basket it landed!

As if you were not expecting something like this to come up... So, let's start by saying there's no gold in here... so far.

The bold is a state of mind, a way of expressing feelings and one that makes you feel like you own the world... or at least is all it gives to me.

I'm a sucker for anything weird, and lipstick is no exception, I hope you enjoy this little (big) collection of fun colours and get inspired to rock that blue you got last month but still had no "chance" to wear.

As you may already know it's Valentines month, hurray, and I have to start my work at 4 in the morning because of that... yes that's how much people loves cake on that day! Still, forgetting the painful mornings I'm about to experience I managed to create some sort of looks, in previous days of course, to share with you how much I'm not keen on this event. 

You first had a glimpse of a wearable look here where I used the Vintage Romance palette by Sleek as my inspiration! So today I bring you something different and daring, that you probably won't wear any time soon but can keep in mind for future halloween or carnival experiences! 

So, this happened, quite long ago to be fair! I decided to give MAC lipsticks another chance... why would I? Laura thought it was a good idea to recommend it to me! 

As if packaging was not enough to make me want this particular lipstick in my collection what really sold me was the shade, the formula (that I was so impressed with) and mostly the fact I didn't own anything like it in all aspects of it's uniqueness! 

This purple mauve pink, all kind of what I want in a lipstick shade, made its way home and since that day I've been struggling not to use it! It is that good... as I said a few times in the past I struggled with a Mac lipstick I bought and ever since didn't look forward to get any other as they're not cheap!
This 17£ gem was a treat, in a way, I was not sure if I would like it on myself but girl I did and the consistency is on point, the longevity is amazing and I personally think it brings life to my face! 

I'm in love with it and I sure think it's worth a try if you're a fan of these kind of shades! I find it goes well with almost everything which makes me use it even more! 

The packaging was great influence at once but it was limited edition for the holidays, if you're lucky you can get it online! 

Overall this post came in a way to share how my opinion changed on MAC lipsticks, hopefully it inspires you to try something you didn't like at first sometime soon, maybe you'll enjoy it more than you think! 

Tell me all about your favourite MAC lipstick!

First comes the nude and this is the Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick which looks like a brownish colour on the swatches but stays fabulous on the lips! It has the nicest formula out of the matte lipsticks I own and wears for a pretty decent time throughout the day! What I love the most is to pair it with different lip liners and create different shades! 

On the Pink department I got me this Rimmel The Only 1 Lipstick that has a super comfortable formula where the shade is in between a bright and muted pink colour that I can't really describe! It looks amazing on the lips and lasts fairly long!
Next to the game I have Jordana Modern Matte Lipsticks that are amazing in formula, colour pay off and comfort at wear, being the first a a mauve kind of shade that I love unconditionally and the second a more daring pink that I surprisingly like a lot on my lips!  

Last but never least is my most favourite liquid lipstick out of the ones I own and girl how I regret not getting more!! Sephora Cream Lip Stain has an amazing staying power, colour pay off and is so so so comfortable on the lips!! The shade I picked was the 13 a very deep mauve pink shade that gives any look a hint of life! It has a stunning formula and colour and I hope Sephora comes out with more shades as they were more on the redish side where I got mine!

Overall, the Fall is not only made of dark vampy lips but also the nudes and the pinks! I love every lipstick here and as the top one I have Sephora and Maybelline choices but with all my honesty the 5 are worth the money and all very affordable if you're wondering!

Do you have a favourite nude for the Fall?

Thanks for reading,

How do we start this, I went to Portugal and Catrice happened! I mean this happened! I don't have any other excuse than it's one of my favourite brands in the drugstore and since we can't get hold of it in the UK , for now, I always snap as much as I can when in holiday! I've been wanting to get so many of their Fall/Winter products that I was very glad to see my wishlist going down! 

Here comes the Fall -uhuh!! As a dark lip lover I couldn't wait more for its time to come, even if I wear plum lips all year long! 

Summer is over and I am struggling to find a good coat for a new winter but apart from all that Halloween is near (who else loves halloween decorations?) and everyone is starting to pull out some vampy shades! To celebrate this new season I decided to bring you a Fall Lip Wardrobe featuring all kinds of vampy shades that I sure love!

With a ever so growing collection of fall lipsticks I sure have some more by this time if you wonder, which will be featured in future posts, but for now here is what I expect to wear during this fall!

Top 3 favourites go to Kiko Unlimited Stylo 12, Maybelline Color Drama 310 and Revlon Colorburst 215, being them all matte and long lasting, easy to apply and maintain throughout the day, even thou they last amazingly well on the first application. 

If you're more about the reds I highly suggest trying the Topshop Beguiled one as it is a very deep and beautiful red with a satin finish. The only thing I don't enjoy much about this lipstick is how time consuming it is. I find it very slippery and need to use a lip liner and lip brush with it even after that it can get messy if not careful. It transfers a lot and requires high maintenance which puts me off wearing it more often! Apart from that the colour is beautiful and it feels comfortable on the lips.

A close dupe in colour to my favourite Kiko 12 is the Rimmel Lasting Finish in 120 Cutting Edge as you can see by the swatches they look identical! In real life the Rimmel one is a tiny bit darker and formula is not comparable in some points! It is highly fragranced so sniff it before buying it if you're sensitive to scents. Rimmel 120 has a satin finish whereas the Kiko one is matte, even thou they both look amazing on the lips! 

I seem to get alike shades all the time and by any means I do it on purpose! The Maybelline Color Drama in 310 comes close to the Revlon Super Lustrous in 477, in photo! If you swatch them together in real life you'll notice the Maybelline one has more purple undertones and is a matte finish while the Revlon has more red to it and is a satin finish! It is a matter of preference in this case but I love both! 

Recently I did a post on matte lipsticks where I talk about the Sleek Fandango Purple and the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms so take a look here if you want to hear more about those! 

Lastly I have the 2 darkest shades of my collection, that I intend to expand, being them Revlon Colorburst in 215 Shameless and Revlon Super Lustrous in 663 Va Va Violet, both from the same family these two purples differ a lot from each other whether it is in finish as the first is a matte and the second a satin, but also in longevity and undertones. Shameless is way more purpl-y pink than Va Va Violet that has more of an aubergine tone to it. I would love this one more if it was matte as the colour takes a bit of time to build up on the lips but still gives a beautiful shade of purple vampy lips for this fall! 

Now that you took a look into my Fall Lip Wardrobe share with me all your favourite Fall shades! 

Thanks for reading,

A new series has begun, or not! Who knows! Back in the day blush was a no for me and lipstick was meh! Now looks like my lipstick obsession started alongside blush! 

In a look through my collection I found that two of my favourite products actually match and create a very beautiful look together suitable for day and night!

Both by Kiko Makeup Milano, my ultimate favourite lipstick Unlimited Stylo (6,90£) in 13 Cocoa paired with the Soft Touch Blush (7,50£) in 112 Light Plum makes the overall look flawless! No jokes here!

Both shades are very similar and long lasting with a matte finish! That lipstick goes nowhere and the blush stays put throughout the day! It's super pigmented so be light handed when applying it! This muted mauve pink shade suits my taste like no other and I can't stop wearing it now! Looks like I found the holy grails for this Fall! Any skin tone can pull this off if I'm being fair, as they're both very universal shades suitable for the fairest or darkest of them all!

When using both in conjunction I find gold eyelids bring them to another level, but it's just personal preference! 

How would you pair this duo?

Thanks for reading,

I'm late to the party, once again. You've seen the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms a million times on the web and so as the Sleek Matte Me Lip Creams but recently was the first time I tried those. On a random trip to Superdrug I fell in love with Fandango Purple by Sleek I spent weeks thinking about it and finally gave in. I'm in love. It's the first liquid lipstick I try and actually like as for the past I had bad experiences on this department.

Winter asks for different shades of nude, darker ones if you will! As we enter the new season it can be hard to get rid of the winter habits  so here's a lip combo that I find suitable at all times!

Essence Longlasting Lipstick in 06 Barely There! is perfect for the everyday nude lip with a hint of something else! I personally love it alone but for the days I'm in the mood for a gloss (which are rare) I top the 06 with Gosh Intense Lip Colour in 302, a  mauve pink that I've been loving. With a non sticky formula this gem feels comfortable on the lips giving me the moisture I need for the cold days!

Essence - Long Lasting 09 Wear Berries!

Kiko - Unlimited Stylo 12 Burgundy

Rimmel - 120 Cutting Edge

Makeup Revolution - Black Heart

Essence - Long Lasting 03 Dare to Wear 

Basic Matte Lipgloss - Matt Salmon

As you can see I have quite a selection of lipsticks that I like to use at this time! Which ones are your favorites? Which color you can't live without at the fall season?

Thanks for reading, 

Usually I tend to go for nudes or dark burgundies but I decided to jump out of my comfort zone and try something a little bit more pinkish. 

The total price of this combo is around 10€

Catrice Lip Liner - ~3€

Kiko Makeup Milano Lipstick - 6,90€

I really like this combination as a transition for deeper colors, it's not too dark nor too bright, it's in between. As you can see it's a pretty affordable option, I use that lipstick non stop since I got him.

Which colors do you like to use at the same time? Tell me bellow :)

Thanks for reading,

The colour seems more red in this photo than it really is but if you have the opportunity, go to a store and swatch it! 

There are 14 colours some nude, reds, corals and pinks! I think it's a great colour selection!

This lipstick is a 9/10! Definitely one of my favorites and I can compare the formula to my MAC satin finish! It's more affordable and does a great job!
