Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet lipstick. My favourite liquid lippie!

Just a quick one this week. I have a confession to make....I have a lipstick confession...phew I feel better now it's out there. My liquid lipstick collection started with limecrime which I don't really wish to buy anymore. I also had problems with the super matte ones and then I found Bourjois velvet lipstick. Oh my, it was love and I'm still working on my collection.

Reds are my favourite go to shade. Hot pepper is a lovely bright orange red and perfect for summer. Grand gru is a beautiful deep red, perfect for autumn and winter but I'm wearing it now anyhoo!

These lipsticks don't dry completely dry. Surprise, surprise they dry to an almost velvety feel! Though I prefer this feel to the ones that dry straight away and then just don't budge.

I've just got into my nudes and nudeist is the best. It's got a gorgeous pink tone to it like a vintage pink so it's not completely nude and is just the most perfect colour for everyday. Ole flamingo is a bright hot pink. I don't usually wear pinks but when I do I go bright, bold and deep! This one is also perfect for the summer season.


At first I was reluctant to buy these lipsticks as they are £8.99 and sometimes I can be tight! But their worth every penny and it's unusual not to find them on offer in boots or superdrug. Next on my list of liquid lipsticks to try is the lasplash brand and I'm lusting after the anastasia beverly hills ones. What are your favourite brands of lipsticks? As a addict I'm always on the lookout!

Dry hair care routine!

I'm obsessed with inding the right hair care routine. My hair is over heated, over dyed and can sufer from feeling unloved so I'm always on the look out or new miracle products and it seems I've hit th jackpot!

Firstly I start with bed head shampoo and conditioner. I love bed head, their products always leave my hair feeling great and I can't stop smelling the conditioner. So when I saw these in b&m bargains I snapped them up. They had an impressive stock of bed head litre bottles but I picked up the ones specifically to inject some much needed moisture in my head!

 I let my hair dry a bit while I do my makeup and plod about. Then I give my hair a squirt of this. This is part of a few new products from Schwarzkopf's got2b range. The packaging and sweet smell really reminds me of bed heads more expensive range. This was on offer in boots for 2 for £5.50 and is a miracle 10 in 1 cream. I pop a bit on my damp hair for heat protection and smoothing. It also gives shine, fullness, thickness plus many more amazing things. So far I love it and it's definitely a repurchase already.

When my hair's dry and straightened I give it a spray of this. It's an argan oil mist and generally I use it instead of hair spray. At first I felt like it would feel as if I was giving my hair a spritz of fry light! But my fears were unfounded. I find it light weight, my hair feels amazing and it smooths all my fly away spilt ends.

Since I was so impressed with my bed head shampoo I bought a mask as it's important to do an intensive weekly conditioning treatment when you suffer from dry hair. It actually smells like sherbet. I tend to put it on my dry hair once a week and leave it overnight.

 As I'm always on the lookout for hair saviors please share any tips you might have with me?!

Ps Love. Primark Beauty Haul part 2!

Match this with the foundation and you've got yourself a pretty decent coverage! Really impressed with the quality of this and matched my skin tone a treat. Once again this was silly cheap and I think it was £2.

 This looks like a lippie but is a blusher stick. Lovely pale pink colour and great for contouring. It really reminds me of a illamasqua product and perfect for a budget alternative.

I don't want to ramble on to much but this the finished look using only Primark makeup except the lipstick as I forgot to get that (oops!) Overall I'm so impressed with this range. Perfect if you are only just starting to wear makeup for like to experiment but are permanently skint like me!
Also Primark say this on the issue of animal testing-

 Does Primark have a policy on the use of animal testing?

Yes. Primark does not conduct and does not commission any animal testing. Our terms of trade with suppliers make it clear that cosmetic products and their ingredients must                                                                               not be tested on animals.

Ps Love. Primark Beauty haul and review!

After firstly trying the felt tip eye liner from Primark's extensive beauty range and being pleasantly surprised I have built up quite the collection! I don't really like to buy before I do lots and lots of research online but couldn't find really anything on the Ps Love range so this has prompted me to do my first blog post :D


I use the skin illuminate on my face first as a primer. The package says you can either wear it under makeup or use it by itself. It adds a pearlescent glow to the skin, leaves my skin feeling soft and my makeup lasts all day so this is a winner for me and at £2 or some silly cheap price won't break the bank!

Then it's onto foundation! I haven't strayed from my L'oreal minerals match foundation but for £2.50 was eager to try this one. For such a cheap foundation this one is the bee knees I'm pleased to say! My only issue would be it's not complete coverage and when you have rosy cheeks and freckles like me you might want to look for a heavier coverage. Though I am very pale and this matched a treat.
