My current top five lip products

Hi Guys, I hope you're all well! Although I had posts up all week, they were scheduled I haven't had the chance to write a post in nearly a week now because of my exams (only two more go!) It's lovely to be blogging again today. I also hit 200 GFC followers and 30,000 page views last night which was amazing - Thank you to each and every one of you who have taken the time to read, follow and comment on this blog! I try so so many lip products every month, and although I've found many that I love, very few manage to make it into my make up routine. I've noticed lately that there are five products that I find myself reaching for above the others - mainly consisting of nudes!
From left - right; Rimmel lasting finish in shade 101, Revlon lipgloss in orchid, Revlon just bitten balm stain in honey, Revlon lipgloss in peony, Look Beauty in Petal nude

Rimmel Lasting finish by Kate in shade 101

This has to me my favourite lipstick in my make up collection - It pretty much lives in my bag since it seems to go perfectly with every make up look! As always I have linked my full review above so I'd recommend checking that out if you want to here more about this - Its worth every penny!

Revlon Lipglosses

I some how ended up with two of these, one was a gift from a friend and the other sent to me by Revlon after I won a Christmas giveaway of theirs. I personally think these are the best lipglosses on the highstreet, while Orchid offers an amazingly pigmented purpley pink shade, Peony is a lovely 'everyday' subtle pink shimmer which I love. I find them both to be non sticky and non drying!

Revlon balm stain in honey

I've been loving this and hope to have a full review up soon, I love how it glides onto the lips so effortlessly and leaves a non drying stain! The colour is so me too!

Look Beauty Loud Lips in Petal Nude

Again I have linked a full review above it's just a perfect nude but a little bit more shade! Half price at the moment too!

Which lip products do you find yourself reaching for?

Look Beauty Nail Pop in Catsuit


When ordering from Look, I knew I had to pick up one of these glittery nail pops like the magpie I am! 'Catsuit' is a lovely blue shade full of different sized glitter pieces which is opaque in a couple of coats. Although I think this would be an interesting polish to layer. 


Excuse the rubbish images, Our summer seems to have gone away again and the lighting hasn't been at his best but I really wanted to show you what this polish looked like on because its so damn pretty!
You can pick this polish up on Look beauty's website or selected Superdrugs for just £5

Look Statement Eyes in Luxe


Eyeshadow has become a must have for me over the past month, So when I was ordering from Look Beauty I knew I had to pick this lovely colour up! Like all of the shades in the 'Statement eyes' range 'Luxe' comes housed a stylish clear container which looks like it could take a beating or two. The shade itself is lovely, I wouldn't wear in during the day because it is rather glittery (even for me) but I'm happy I discovered it in time for the Olympics and see myself getting a lot of use out of it! 


You can pick this up online here or in selected Superdrug stores for just £4!

Look Beauty Flawless Fix


I've mentioned this beauty balm from Look quite a few times on my blog now, so its probably about time I finally got around to dedicating a whole post to it. Flawless Fix retails at £10 (Although I picked this bottle up for just £5 in the look sale) and houses a lovely 40ml. The BB cream is available in three shades; light, medium and dark.

'
'Clever enough to cover any breakouts or hang-ups, but natural enough to let your real skin shine through; this light foundation is the perfect start to your make up look'  


I thought the best way to show you the effects of this BB cream were to do a before and after shoot of my face (which is way more freckly than I thought!). The left image shows my skin naturally and the right with just a small amount of this BB cream. I found it did a great job of covering any blemishes I have as well as masking any redness. My skin as a whole looked more evened out and I loved the way It makes it feel. For just £10 this BB cream is a complete steal! essepically if you consider the lovely high end style packaging.
You can pick this BB cream up here and in selected Superdrug stores.

Look Nail Pop in Cool Britannia

I've mentioned before that I picked up a few nail polishes in the look sale, and just had to show you this shade! Originally my best friend spotted it on the look beauty site, as soon as she showed me I knew I had to have it so I ordered us both one when putting in my big order online.
The polish is even nicer than I thought it would be once applied to the nails, and a must have for glitter lovers like myself! For just £5 this is a complete bargain, although Look currently have a promotion where you get this free if you buy two or more products from their website so snap one up while you still can!


The polish was very hard to capture (The typical British weather doesn't help at all) but heres a close up of my thumb nail to give you a greater idea of what the polish looks like:


Do you guys love it as much as I do?! You can pick this limited edition nail pop up here

Loud lips : Toffee Cup

Today I wanted to share with you guys my last lipstick from the loud lips collection.  'Toffee Cup' - is a browny pink which transfers on the lips as a lovely nude colour taking me completely buy surprise.
Like with all the look lipsticks, 'Toffee cup' comes packaged in a cute little box and is housed inside the magnetic case (which I've said time and time again how much I love!)

I think the colour is my favourite in the range, The wearability of it took my by compete surprise - I love how it looks with my skin tone! The colour reminded me a little of MUA's 'Bare', however when swatching them I found 'Toffee cup' to be a lot pinker in appearance than 'Bare' and a little more pigmented

I found 'Toffee cup' both comfortable to wear and non drying on the lips. You can pick these up over at the look website for £7 or in selected superdrug stores! Read my thoughts on 'Tangerine cream'  and 'Baby doll' by clicking on the name.

Loud lips: Tangerine cream

Following my thoughts on 'Baby doll' Thursday, I figured I'd show you the next shade look beauty have to offer. Shade two is appropriately named 'Tangerine cream', The shade is a light orangey colour with a hint of pink thrown into the mix (Although I'm rubbish at describing shades, That's what the pictures are for!)

Again I'm in love with the packaging, its so stylish yet grown up at the same time! The lipsticks come packaged in a cute little box rather than just sealed with plastic which for me is a lovely extra touch. 


The magnet just sells this lipstick to me - It makes it look so much higher end than its reasonable £7 price tag! (Plus its fun to play with)


I love the colour the lipstick gives, Finally the wearable orange shade I have been searching for! It can be a little patchy when applying on the lips - But I find if you trace over the lips with your fingers It looks lovely!
You can pick this lipstick up for £7 here, or in selected Superdrug stores.
