Orange is the word on everyones lips..

Hello everybody! 

Recently, I have noticed how many people are wearing orange on their lips! 

now, I don't blame them - orange is gorgeous, especially for spring. 

I've always got on with orange better than bright red so I've been wearing this colour for a while and I'm soo happy to see more people wearing it!

I've managed to dig out my favourites for you from high street to high end 

-theres something here for everyone to try! 

..First up! 

Seventeen Lip Crayon £4.99 - Bold

This is one of my favourites, it's got a really lovely Matte finish to it and the colour surprisingly lasts a really long time, which I was really impressed with due to the fact I don't buy much Seventeen makeup. The colour is a gorgeous, bright orange and I actually really love the packaging being a mimic of a Crayola, perfect for just throwing in your handbag and topping up throughout the day.

Secondly...

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm £7.99 - Audacious

I was really impressed with this product, Its got a gorgeous sheen to it and its really moisturising (something which lacks slightly with the Seventeen Lip Crayon) but the negative to this is the colour fades a lot faster - It's sort of like the company has focused SO much on the moisturising property of this product the colour lacks slightly. 

But its perfect if your just starting out with bright colours & want slightly more subtle colour - its a brilliant dupe to the Clinique Chubby Sticks.

Third...

Topshop Lipstick £8 - Ditsy

This lipstick is honestly gorgeous, Its slightly more coral than orange but the finish is a beautiful, velvety matte. This was the first ever 'Bold' lipstick I bought and was really impressed with the colour  and how it lasts on the lips, along with the way it looked. Recently i've really been loving the Topshop lipsticks and constantly tempted to buy more every time Im in there.

Last but not least...

MAC cosmetics - Tart and Trendy

I've saved the best until last... This is my most favourite lipstick ever, the colour is just so beautiful and because its a Lustre lipstick its a lot more moisturising, yet still manages to hold the gorgeous colour. 

-annoyingly... this lipstick was limited edition.. (best things always are...*sad face* but I know you can get it elsewhere on the internet & I would definitely recommend it!) 

BUT 

The other lipstick I really really recommend is MAC £15 - Morange.. luckily, this isn't limited addition and its un-doubtly one of the best orange lipsticks out there, its Matte and lasts beautifully, the colour is also gorgeous, lasts all day (or night) and is so vibrant.

Hope you all had a lovely Easter & enjoyed the post!

My Makeup Staples

Hello Everyone!

As the weather is changing and spring is here. I decided to give my makeup bag a really good spring clean (yep... that includes throwing it in to the washing machine) 

I thought I would share with you my make up staples and what I am wearing undoubtedly every single day :) 

Laura Mercier - Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 Natural

Collection 2000 - Lasting Perfection Concealer 1 Fair

I've been using tinted moisturizer a lot recently as the weather is clearing up, I find it more pleasant to wear and the coverage is perfect. Obviously, it being sunny isn't always the best as it draws out impurities (yes- this means one thing...spots!) so to keep them at bay I've been using the Collection 2000 concealer, this stuff is incredible -honestly! I've used my fair share of high street and "fancy" concealers from more higher brands and I got back to this everytime!  

YSL - Shocking Mascara

Best. Mascara. Ever. 

Yep - I know Maybelline Great Lash is (and always will be) the Queen of all mascaras, but i'll happily crown this the Princess. Also, who doesn't treat themselves on a splash out mascara anyway? 

If you do, I recommend this one! 

Iv been using this constantly, and so many people have commented on how long my lashes are looking, you only need a couple of coats and your set for the day.. 

no re-applying.. no clumping... no flaking.. no irritation... it's magic in a (very shiny) tube.

Urban Decay - Naked Basics

Firstly, please excuse the nail mark in the light brown (Naked 2) I never know how it happens... but its not an unusual thing for me... 

This palette is gorgeous, Im so chuffed with it and use it constantly. I really do love the Naked 1,2 & 3 palettes but this one is just so.. well... basic? & the size is perfect, easy to chuck into your makeup bag and your set! 

The colours, like all Urban Decay colours are so pigmented and last all day and I love them, I can have a crazy day at college and none of it decides to take a detour down my face or crease in unflattering places.

L'Oreal - Color Riche Collection Privee By Julianne Moore 

This is the most beautiful lipstick i've ever bought, It's the perfect nude colour for my skin tone and really affordable. It's very similar to Angel by MAC and has a similar sweet smell... (if that makes any sense at all, it did in my head..) 

All that aside, this lipstick is gorgeous & they have other lipstick designed by the L'Oreal models too such as Cheryl and Eva Longoria which are equally as beautiful. 

Hope you've enjoyed the post 

& gained a little inspiration for a makeup bag spring clean :)

Skirt - H&M

Camera - Canon EOS 650D

But,back to the favourites! :) 

Hair and Skin

001. TIGI Catwalk Oatmeal and honey shampoo 

 'Comfort food for dry/damaged hair'. I've loving this shampoo recently, As my hair has been so dry throughout February :( I found it in TKmaxx as its slightly more cheaper than usual. Also, This shampoo smells amazing! 

002. Mama Mio Skin Tight 

 I bought this on a bit of a gamble as I wasn't sure whether it would work, but the reviews for it where brilliant, so I got it. -and I don't regret it at all! Its a gel formula and you put it on the patches you want tones (yes-where ever you want!) every day for 30days and it tightens, tones and lifts! I've been using this product on my legs and I've definatly noticed a difference! 

003. Mama Mio Clean Slate 

 I have literally no faults with this product! I use it every morning and it makes my skin look and feel soft, smooth and appear even. It smells so fresh and sets you up for the day! 

004. Neals yard Almond Oil 

 I use this in my baths as it really hydrates and gets into your skin. iv been using this a lot during February as the cold weather has really dried my skin out and this has been working amazingly! 

Makeup 

001. Urban Decay Naked Palette 2*

I've been using this product religously throughout february as I got given it for my birthday. The colours of this palette are a lot more earthy compared the the bronzed colours from the original Naked palette/

002. NARS Bronzer -Laguna

As you can see, this product is in desperate need of a replacement! This is the most gorgeous bronzer iv used! its gives a gorgeous glow with out looking dirty on my pale skin and doesnt come out orange at all!

003. Loreal True Match Foundation

This foundation has always been brilliant! It has hundreds of different shades so theres one for everyone! it gives a gorgeous finish and perfect coverage as it isnt thick at all letting you skin breathe

004. MAC Fluidliner - BlackTrack

Iv been using this gel eyeliner as I ran out of my Bobbi Brown one and I heard lots of things about this product, so i thought id give it ago. It lasts all day long and i'm really impressed with this eyeliner, I would say the colour is a lot more stronger with the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliner and that is also waterproof so I prefer that, but I still love this product and gives a lot more of a natural look for during the day.

005.MAC lipstick -Speed dial

This colour is beautiful, its a hot pink and I'v been loving this lipstick throughout february! Iv always loved MAC lipsticks as they're so creamy and last for so long with no embarrissing smearing or smudging!

006. Lancome Mascara -Hypnose Doll Eyes

This first thing I thought when I saw this mascara was the bottle, -Its Beautiful! 

its curvy and black with matte flowers all the way up the bottle! Lancome mascara's have always worked a treat on my eyelashes, and iv used then ever since I started wearing mascara in year 7 when I got given an old Lancome mascara from my friend. This mascara is gorgeous, the colour is very intense and the brush fans out your lashes giving them volume and taking away any kind of clump!

Earrings

Earrings - Miso Republic

Fragrance

Flower Bomb - Viktor&Rolf

Yiyangu Kakadu Plum & Macadamia Nut Body mist - The Australian Costmetics Company

Iv had this body mist for ages now but I cant explain how amazing this body mist smells! I love the packaging and all their products are so gorgeous!
