Look it's Lipstick!

Look Cosmetics lipstick in 'Shade 4 - Toffee Cup' Available from selected Superdrug stores (i assume the larger ones)

There are about 5 shades available. I'm sure everyone can find a shade they love. 

This was my favourite out of all the available colours. It looks very natural and just adds a nice pop of colour in one swipe. 

Packaging: As you can see on the picture above it is packaged within a nice silver metallic, rectangular  shaped enclosure (which has it's pro's and cons). I find it pretty bulky which i dislike when taking out in a small bag but it can be useful as you can find it easily. I also like how it does like nice on your dressing table when stood up.

Colour:  I would describe this as a baby pink toned nude. As you can see above on me it is very light and leans more towards a light pink whereas on The Sunday Girl it is much more of a darker pink nude. It all depends on the colour of your skin but i think on very dark skintones this will be way too light (i am NC42 - Mac). So much darker than my skintone i'm not sure you could get away with it unfortunately. 

Consistency: The lipstick itself is pretty highly pigmented. It provides an opaque coverage in 1/2 swipe and doesn't feather/bleed. I find this lipstick can be very drying after it has been applied. So applying lip balm beforehand is essential!

Length of wear: I'd say this would last about 4 hours without food/drink and obviously a little less when eating or drinking. So don't forget to take it with you for top-ups along with lip balm. 

Overall, it is a very good lipstick that i seem to reach for daily for a nice nude-ish lip. And for £7 it doesn't break the bank! I definitely recommend you try these out (if you can find them)! 

Small Haul!

Here are a few things i picked up when i went shopping on that 'snowy day' in Trafford Centre and Manchester.

 Look Lipstick in Shade 4 - Toffee Cup - £7

You can imagine my joy when i arrived at Trafford Centre to find a new, huge Superdrug which has Look Magazine cosmetics! yaaay! After seeing so many blog posts about Look cosmetics i knew i had to buy something. So i settled for this lovely, milky pink lipstick (review to come).

Skirt - Topshop - £12

I picked this skirt up in the sale in Selfridges. I was so happy! Not long ago, i broke the zip on my other bodycon skirt so, on the hunt for another one, i couldn't resist this with the leather along the top. It's perfect, such a lucky find.

Top - H&M - £9.99

I was searching for a top to wear with the skirt - considering this is black and white i thought 'what the hell' i'll try it on. I actually really liked it with the skirt and decided to buy it as i could always return it if i decided i didn't like it (outfit to come).

Dress - H&M - £15

At first i was a little unsure about this dress. To be honest i just bought it because it looked OK and i couldn't find another. Now i love it. It was so hard to picture - but it's a bright, cobolt blue. Amazing, i absolutely love it for day and night! (outfit to come)

 Dress - Primark - £10

I bought this specifically to go out in. Another LBD that i absolutely love. It's very flattering (sucks you in) yet it does look very 'sexy' with the sheer parts. Overall i think it's bargain purchase. (outfit to come)

 Natural Collection Blusher - Peach Melba - £2

Last but not least, a blusher i have heard quite a lot about. I used to use Natural Collection when i first started out with makeup and have heard lots of good things about this blusher. A smooth dusky, pink - so far so good. (review to come)

Hope you like my haul and the few things i picked up. All will be featured in upcoming posts!

Didn't realise how much was from Primark :O .. oh well, s'all about the bargains!    Winged eyeliner & Dark red lippy i am LOVING for this winter. But i decided to keep my makeup natural considering i got ready quite fast and was only going to the cinema. I alwayyyys wear either: Mac gel liner or the Collection 2000 felt tip liner pen thingy! Both have to be set with eyeshadow on my oily lids though!

My Autumn/Fall Inspired Makeup

Bold Lips, Natural Bronzy Eyes and Dewy Complexion = Perfect Autumn Look.

The lipstick i'm wearing in this picture is out of a cheap palette. But i'm absolutely loving it. It's more of a lip stain than a lipstick. Although i recently bought a MAC lipstick called 'hang up' which i LOVE.

Face: 

MAC Select foundation.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish & MAC Blot powder (to set).

MUA Bronzer (on cheekbones)

Set with MAC Studio fix +

Eyes:

120 Palette - goldy colour on eyelid, shimmery brown in crease and blended up, matte cream as highlight and in inner corners.

MAC e/s in 'Brown Down' on bottom and top lash lines. 

Avon Supershock mascara for long thick lashes.

Rimmel Eyebrow pencil to fill in brows, set with 'Brown Down' e/s.

Lips: 

Exfoliate so they're smooth. Put on lipbalm, i used carmex. Neutralise lips with concealer or foundation. Apply maroony, purpley, deep lipstick or stain. Set with powder and add another layer. Apply a coat of lipbalm on top for a dewy look.

Tadaahhhh! Perfect for those autumn days.
