Maybelline Vivid Matte Lipstick 05 Nude Flush | Review & swatch

 

I'm really liking Maybelline's Coloursensational range. Everyone loves NYX's matte lip creams, so do I! I think out of all the matte lipsticks/creams out there they feel the best - however I was pleasantly surprised by Maybelline's Vivid Matte Lipstick/cream it's not at all drying and feels great on the lips, I don't end up with a really dramatic dry ring of product round the inside of my lips which most matte's cause, its super pigmented and really suits my complexion. Perfect for the day look, work etc. Which they would come out with more nude shades, I think they have a brown toned one which looked really pretty but again I've experimented with brown nudes and they just dull out my complexion unless there's some pink or coral in there!

My Final Thought
Another perfect nude shade to keep in your handbag. Only negative about this is the applicator its really weird like a spatula with a furry tip, however it deposits product on the lips in clumps, so hard to get an even layer on lips and could be wasting extra product as a little goes along way. However the price is not rocket high, love the shade!

Maybelline Coloursensational Matte Lipstick 987 Smoky Rose | Review & swatch - The perfect nude

Image
  As the title says, this is the perfect pinky dusky rose shade. Brown or beige nudes don't suit my complexion so I prefer going for the more pinkier shades which brighten up my complexion alot more. To tell you the truth I'm kind of over the matte lipstick phase now, have so many colours and even though they give a natural look, sometimes they can look really drying and fine lines in your lips can appear, making you look rather dehydrated than healthy! Anyways, the texture on this is really nice, its creamy soft and smooth, doesnt feel cakey or dry on the lips. It's perfect for day time, and work which I use it for, infact keep it in my bag. It does dry out for me half way during the day but most lipsticks do after drinks, lunches etc so not to bothered. My Final Thought If your looking for a perfect soft pink natural nude then this is perfect for medium to tan skintones, I think it would look really flattering on lighter complexions too.

Lavera Mineral Eyeshadow Quattro 02 Cappuccino Cream | Review

Image
  This is the perfect practical, easy, go-to eyeshadow palette and natural of course so I don't feel bad piling it on my eyes. The colours are quite pigmented, so impressed with that as most natural products don't have the colour pay off. I use it without a primer and and only alittle bit of my concealer on my eyelids to correct my dark circles and these colours show up beautifully.  The lightest cream shade (on the right) is perfect as a highlight and for the inner corners to open up and brighten the eyes and under the eyebrow. The neutral light-medium brown shade (bottom shade) is perfect as an overall natural base shade and a transitioning shade to blend the other shades in.  Cool toned brown (top shade) which I love using over my whole eyelid and bottom rim to give a smokey effect. Warm toned brown (left shade), another perfect shade to use all over or to create definition on the outer corner of the eye following the eyelid. My final Thought Th

Superdrug's Colour Rewind Review - and OMD it actually works!

Colour Rewind Review A brief history of what I've been upto with my hair. A while back I used Loreal Rimini which is really good for those with natually or dyed dark hair as it brought my hair upto a lovely light brown. However silly me, always wanted a change; decided to be abit different, so I bought a box of Live Violet hair dye. Now, I've used Live hair dyes before and they've always made my hair go jet black and I never get that purple hue or blue hue etc but as their was a sale and it said it had some lightening in the pack I thought hey ho let's try it. Well it darkened my hair quite abit and then left me with a red halo which was slowly fading to orange...the worst colour! I then used a semi permant hair dye, I used a dark brown to get rid of the halo.....then waited 4 weeks and used Nice and Easy Light Ash brown to get back to a nice neutral brown.  That wasn't happening because of all the hairdye build up!!! I popped into Superdrugs and got the
