Summer Angel

Hey ladies, I'm back... I hope you all had a great Xmas and new year. I just thought I would do a quick post on a little discovery I made on Christmas eve.

As we all know Superdrug had 3 for 2 on cosmetics over Christmas. Now I'm not one to spend money when I don't have too *cough cough lies!* but I do like to think that technically I am saving if theres an offer on. So I picked up a couple of bits then I started searching the shelves for a 3rd item,oh the stress nothing would do! until .....

*Insert Angel music*

I saw this beauty sitting on the shelf just dieing to be swatched. At first I thought nothing of it, and after I swatched it I put it back. But then I heard that little voice inside of me (you girls know the voice I mean) the one that says," if you don't buy me now your going to get home and regret it, and you know when you bring yourself back to this shop, I ain't gonna be here!!"

Don't fear ladies, as you can see from the pictures above I clearly listened to the voice. If your ever in superdrug or boots and you see Rimmel Summer Angel pick it up!! I'm not usually a fan of pink lipstick at all, but this is so pretty, it gives lips a subtle hint of colour, enough for people to say "ooh whats that" and it isn't at all drying. It is now my everyday go to lippie.

Colour Sensations....

I love Maybelline colour sensations. It was one of these lipsticks that made me realise I could wear lipstick. Recently they added some new shades to the range as well as expanding it with the newly advertised colour sensation pearl.

As well as smelling sweet and yummy,I find these lippies to be very nourishing. Swatches below are in the same order as above.

I have also done some lip swatches for you. I haven't used anything to block out my natural lip colour which is actually quite dark, so please be aware the colours could look a lot different on someone else.

Pink punch is a bit brighter in reality (bloody camera) and kiss pearl is slightly more pearly.

The colour sensation lipsticks are very pigmented especially the brighter shades. I usually find one swipe enough for me. On the other hand, colour sensation pearl is more natural looking, great for those who prefer a more subtle lip. The colour pay off is sheer and natural leaving lips with just a hint of colour.

You can pick up these lovely lippies from Superdrugs or Boots

Colour Sensation rrp £6.99

Colour Sensation pearl rrp £7.19

Tweethearts Big Hair And Lucious Lips

Hey girlie's, sorry for the brief departure. I had an issue with a new laptop I bought, after three days it had a melt down. Its all good now though I picked up a new one so I'm finally set up and good to go. I have literally been blogging through my phone for the past 6 months, so its good to be back at a laptop and hitting real keys rather than a mobile phone screen. Also in that time I reached 900 followers, so a big thank you to everyone that stuck with me and the people that joined me.

So onto the post. I was recently tweeting about the Umberto Giannini 'Backcomb in a bottle'. I had been trying to get my hands on it for ages with each trip to my local Boots being a major fail. As I tweeted my upset, another lovely lady '@MandyKhaira' tweeted me saying she couldn't get hold of it either.

A little time passed,like 30 mins lol and she tweeted me again saying she finally found it on a 3 for 2 in boots and picked it up. She said one was for her friend one was for her and I could have the spare one. I offered her money but she declined saying it was a gift from her beauty addict heart. I thought that was so sweet, so after ensuring she wasn't a sweaty old man that just wanted my address, I emailed her my details and look what came yesterday.......

The first thing I did was tweet her a big 'thank you' because not only did she send me this, she threw in something else too (that I will get onto in a moment.)
Clearly being me,I wasn't just going to open this and let it sit there, so I sprayed it.......

It took the section of hair I sprayed it on up north, it wasn't sticky or crunchy but I definitely think there is a knack to using this so expect a review soon.

She also threw in a favourite of hers and I think its now a favourite of mine.

Its the Lancome colour fever lippie in '204 Beige Everyday'. Its such a natural pretty sheer lipstick. I'm actually wearing it in the top picture. I think it gives my lips that extra something something.

If your reading this, thanks again Mandy

And for the rest of you what do you think about the backcomb in a bottle? are you loving it or hating it?

Are you loving my new lovely lippie?

Revlon Peach Petal

So I finally had the chance to pick up a couple revlon glosses.I picked up two,this one and coral reef.

I literally wanted them since the day I saw preview swatches on a few other blogs.Finally they are mine. I will do some swatches with coral reef,but these ones were already uploaded to my computer and im feeling quite tired today,so im going to play the lazy card.

So below is what it looks like on me.

The colour is very natural.It kind of reminds me of a milky florabundance.I love it,and I have been wearing this one a lot in the day.

I really want the sum to come out in full force so I can rock my coral reef.

Have any of you picked up any of these glosses lately?

I still haven't been brave enough to wear my punky pink Barry M lippie out yet *slaps wrists*

Fatal Red and a hat....

Haha,so trying maybellines colour sensation made me a complete convert to lipstick,so much so that when I was out last week I had to pick up fatal red....

Sorry its applied a tad crappy,all on my skin and that,but im still a lipstick learner lol,well for bright colours like this anyway

I love it,and im sure it will look great when my hair and make-up is properly done.

I just need somewhere decent to go now.....

And on the flip side to make this post random,I bought a grey beenie hat for the winter,You know the ones that are baggy at the back

I had a khaki one last year,and for the life of me I swear I look like a teapot,Hats will never suit me no matter how hard I try. It does sadden me,because I would like to keep my head warm in the winter without looking like ive stuck a tea cosy on my head : (

Ah well,I guess some are lucky enough to wear hats,and im one of those that are not,I might add though,the only hats that actually suit me are those giant floppy ones that jlo always wore,but thats really no good to me at all,I dont know why I tried to make myself feel good by saying that lol

Oh and im really interested in trying colour sensation in pink me up,so if anyones got any pics of that one,let me know

: D
