REVIEW| Maybelline Master Duo Liquid Liner

Master Duo Liquid Liner


The true beauty of this product, is that it works in two ways. I just love something that shakes things up a bit, a what's better than a liner with two functions? Not damn much I can tell you. With the twist of the nib, you can go from thick to thin lines in an instant. Perfect for the lash line and then ending with a pointy cat-eye flick. Meow Maybelline.

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| Benefit lolli tint

lolli tint


This new cheek/lip stain by Benefit is so so gorgeous. It's a sweet pastel purple treat, that is super on-trend and really flattering. Last summer I became obsessed with RiRi Boy (from Rihanna's collab with MAC), which was a matte lilac lipstick, that just looks stunning on. This colour totally reminds me of that. It's a beautiful violet hue, that warms up the cheeks and lips, without being too purple and gets me mega excited for spring.

It's sort of like a colour you could imagine a Cadbury's Mini Egg being (oh god, now I want some chocolate…), fresh, cute and…well, just delicious.

It also lasts, and then lasts some more. I strongly advise blending straight after application, or you could easily end up with some very funky looking lilac tribal-esque stripes on your face. Cool, but perhaps not the desired effect.



The Bottle

As with all the other Benefit tints, the packaging is as divine as the product. It is perfect to compliment a powder blush when applied beforehand, and the same with a shade of lip colour, for extra oomph and longevity.




On the Skin

Blended


As you can see its a beautiful sweet treat of a colour, and I personally know I will be rocking this all the way to 2015 and beyond. It costs £24.50 and you can pick yourself up one from here.



Lots of Love,



(call me lolli) x

COMING SOON| Benefit Gimmie Brow

Gimmie Brow in Medium/Dark

The Applicator

Gimmie Brow is a brush on fibre gel, which clings to hair and gives you volume and shape to your brows, in a really natural yet full way. This is the Medium/Dark shade, but for you fair-haired lovelies, there is a lighter shade too. The brush is tapered, so brilliant for blending, and the tip is designed for shaping perfection,*love*.

I was lucky enough to be given this by my sister when she returned from the US, because I simply could not wait to try it, (I'm a slight brow obsessive…), but it should be available in the UK around March this year.


Below are the results. Literally this works better than any gel or powder I have ever tried, for strong, controlled and instant brow perfection!


Before - Natural Brows


Left Brow with Gimmie Brow, Right is natural

Brows with Gimmie Brow

As you can see, this product works really well and I'm sure it will be a massive hit when it launches in the UK. Groomed, thick and Cara-esque, the perfect set (of brows…obv). GIMMIE (literally the name is no lie).


Get ready to rock the Power Brow,


Lots of Love,
