Lip Edit|| bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie in Miss Popular

Miss Popular


This new gloss by Bare Minerals, is the perfect pastel pink. Aptly names Miss Popular, this is the sugary sweet look of flirty fab, perfect for day or night. I think this colour would flatter most skin tones, it looks fresh and perfect for a sexy Spring/Summer charm.

Lip Edit|| Bobbi Brown High Shimmer Gloss in Bare Peach

Bare Peach (32)


Another addition to my ever expanding lip collection…and quickly becoming a firm fave, is this shimmering, gorgeous gloss by Bobbi Brown. As I have mentioned a few times before, I am really into nude lips at the moment, and this is the perfect evening wow when you're feeling like keeping colour to a minimum.

MAC LipGlass in Morange

Morange

Summer is practically peeking round the corner, flip-flops and ice-cream in hand…which can really only mean one thing. Summer Makeup. A fast favourite of mine for beachy days and balmy eves, is a gorgeous popping pout. Perfect for this is MAC's ever popular Morange lipstick, which is such a beautiful and captivating bright Orange, and I chose to pick up a Morange Lipglass, which is a sensual, saturated gloss in the same colour.

Benefit Benetint

Benetint

In the 70's a product created by Jean and Jane Ford was to be the beginning of a brand synonymous with luxury, fun beauty worldwide today. This product was called 'Rose Tint', now known as Benetint. Said to be originally created to tint the nipples of an exotic dancer, this rose flush was both practical and beautiful, and today remains a true makeup bag staple.

NEW| Topshop Lipstick in Mink

Topshop Lips in Mink


I have said it before, and I will say it again. Right now in fact… I am a huge Topshop Lipstick Lover. My name is Lauren, and I am an addict. This is one of the latest colour contributions by the brand giant, and I adore it! Having never bought into Browns before, for lips, I was totally converted by Rihanna's collab with MAC, and her Bad Girl RiRi Lip creation. See that (and a fantastic dupe here).

NEW| Apocalips Shades



These area four of the newest colours from the Rimmel Apocalips range. I have been a big fan of this highly pigmented glosses since their release, and I was super excited when I realised there were a few shades I hadn't tried. The four I have are; Eclipse (deep red), Auroura (pink/coral red), Out of this World (sparkly pink) and Shooting Star (nude).


The application and consistency is exactly the same as the initial batch (for my review on those see here and here…), and these babies are just as lust-worthy as their slightly older sisters.


Shooting Star


Aurora



Out of this World



Eclipse


As you can see, they are all seriously glossy and rich in colour. They are just so beautiful to apply and wear, finding these has definitely reminded me of my long-time love for these glosses. They are so wearable, non-sticky and relatively long-lasting. 


Euston we have lips off (ah sorry…),



Lots of Love,

Topshop 'Straight Ace' Lipstick

Straight Ace


Straight Ace by Topshop, is a bold and beautiful violet shade. It's perfect as a statement lip, a change from a festive cherry red or a pretty pink. It is an easy to apply, creamy Lipstick, which glides on and is neither highly matte or glossy.

As with all Topshop lipsticks, this is great quality for the £8 price tag, and you can get yours here. Pick one up and try Purple this christmas!

RiRi for M.A.C Fall '13

RiRi for MAC Fall '13

I was a huge fan of the RiRi for M.A.C collection prior to this, so I couldn't resist picking up a few bits (mainly because of the AMAZING packaging). I decided on another RiRi Woo, (I adore this retro matte shade, a favourite from her first collection), Who's that Chick Lipstick and RiRi Woo Lip Liner.



RiRi Woo Lip Liner


Woo for the Win, a Liner of Gods


I adore this liner, it is so creamy and easy to apply, as well as being the perfect blue red shade of RiRi Woo, which is extremely wearable and very flattering.

The above looks demonstrate the easiness of application, making sure that your lipstick not only doesn't bleed and lasts longer, but that it looks flawless too.

As you can see, the combo of the RiRi Woo liner and lipstick, create a flawless beautiful, blue-red lip. Perfect for chilly Autumn days and Fiery Christmas nights.



Who's that Chick is a frosty Orange. It just sizzles and shimmers in a flattering red-orange, which compliments a tan and darker skin tones beautifully. For a really dramatic look, you can actually do as Rihanna herself and line your lips with RiRi Woo before application, for a modern and bold lip. Gorgeous.

With Flash


The above application is a pretty light one, and with no liner. If you would like to see it heavily applied or as I said above, with the RiRi Woo liner, just pop me a comment and i'll be happy to oblige.


This Autumn (Fall for you American Types...) collection by Rihanna for MAC, is yet another stand out triumph. I don't think this will be the last you hear of this pairing either, so watch this space.


Lots of Love,

A/W Pink Lips with Chanel



Chanel Rouge Allure Lip Colour in 93 'Exaltee'


This is such a perfect lip to work the A/W obsession with Pink. If you don't fancy covering yourself in a pastel Pink oversize cocoon coat, perk up your pout with Pink instead. This gorgeous, cream lip by Chanel Rouge Allure glides on like a dream. It is such an easy pink to wear for most skin tones, and for any occasion. Its sophisticated, yet sexy. I have fallen hard.

You can pick one up yourself from all good Chanel counters, for around £24. It may sound pricey, but it's an undeniable luxury, and the packaging is just irresistible.



Lovely Packaging

This is already an invaluable asset to my Lip collection, and I have a feeling it's going to be my favourite way to warm up my face in the chilly months ahead,

Baby Lips: Part Two

Peach Kiss, Intense Care, Cherry Pie and Mint Fresh Baby Lips

This is the second part of my Baby Lips infatuation. You can see my first post here, reviewing the Blue Intense Care and the gorgeous Pink Punch. I loved them so, so much... I couldn't resist finishing my collection with Peach Kiss, Yellow Intense Care, Cherry Pie and Mint Fresh.


Peach Kiss; as it may sound... is a lovely Peach scented balm, with a subtle peachy colour when applied to the lips.

The Yellow Intense Care balm, is very similar to the Blue Intense Care, bar the packaging. I don't think you can have too many super hydrating, SPF 20 miracle working balms making an appearance in your handbags, so the more the merrier when it comes to these care oozing lip BFFs.


Intense Care



On the Lips




Mint Fresh, is a... well it's a super minty fresh lip balm. Not forgetting that all of these balms not only, feel/smell/look amazing, but they all really hydrate your pout, which is so important as the chilly months start creeping up on us. Heating and harsh winds, a sexy pout do not make. Enter - the Baby Lips.

Last, but most definitely not least is the irresistible Cherry Pie. It looks as tasty as it sounds, and gives you a gorgeous subtle red hue to boot. Amazing. Perfect for a sexy, seasonal day lip, whilst maintaing a soft and gorgeous pout for the all important Mistletoe in a few months time. Well, it's never to early to be prepared...

As you can probably tell from my constant raving, I love these balms. The packaging, the colours and most importantly the product itself. It works and looks fabulous, what more could you want?


Kisses and Love,
