RIMMEL LONDON | JESS WOODLEY'S COLLAB

I've been so excited for this collection! After seeing sneak peaks from Jess Woodleys instagram and Rimmel London's page I couldn't wait to get my hands on it! Ive always been a massive fan of Made In Chelsea and Jess Woodley was always my fave, so knew I'd love these already! The collaboration includes 5 looks that consist of lipsticks that have a matching shade of nail varnish, she actually named them after aspects of her life, which is super cool! I picked up three shades of the lipsticks and I'm deffo going to pick up the rest, The red shade is called 'Alarm' which is very fitting and is a gorgeous shade of red, with a slight orange undertone. 'Heartbreaker' is probably my favourite shade, its a deep pink shade that looks super pretty on, and 'Starry-Eyed' such a cute name! They go on silky but dry slightly matte but aren't drying on the lips and the colour pay off is very pigmented,and they smell nice which is so rare with lipsticks! I cant wait to try the others! Let me know if you've tried any of them!

(TOP TO BOTTOM: 170 ALARM, 016 HEARTBREAKER, 128 STARRY-EYED)

REVOLUTION MATTE LIP KIT | REVIEW

Ive been looking for a brown matte lipstick in so long, but have never found one that I love! They've always been too nude or too orangey, so when I picked up this liquid lipstick by Revolution I was sceptical but excited to try it out. I LOVE it and I honestly wear it all the time, it has such a creamy consistency and doesn't dry out my lips! The colour pay off is super rich and so true to the colour advertised on the front of the packaging, it comes with a lip liner and a liquid lipstick that both match perfectly. Sometimes I like to overline my lips slightly and by using the lipliner first it looks super natural! I'm so excited to try out the other shades!

MY 'SMALL' BAG ESSENTIALS

Everyone has there go-to 'small' handbag that is just the right size to fit everything in it that you need for the day. This one from Primark is my fave for days out shopping or even a meal out as you don't really need to fit that much in it. I love the chain strap and the colour of it is SO pretty! These are just a few of the essentials that I tend to throw in my bag, a mini perfume is vital if you wanna be smelling good all day! I have this mini one from New Look called Devotion and it smells lush, perfect size to have in my bag and grab whenever I need it! A lipstick and brow gel is always included in my bag for when I need that touch up through the day. I currently have the Seventeen lipstick in Fond Farewell and the Benefit Gimme Brow in the mini edition which is also perfect for the handbag. Another essential is of course my phone with a glittery cute case and my purse which I will admit takes up quite a bit of space in my bag but its gorge so how could I not include it!

MY GO-TO LIQUID LIPSTICKS

One of my favourite things about liquid lipsticks is that they are so easy to use, they're not messy when applying and they come in so many colours! These are a few liquid lipsticks that I find myself reaching for the most! The two liquid lipsticks that I first ever bought were the MUA LUXE velvet lip lacquers, I just loved the colours! I do find they're a little drying after a few hours but the colours are so pigmented and glide on. I think one of the brightest shades that I have has got to be the Makeup Revolution Salvation Velvet Lacquer, its a bright pink that looks so good when applied! This one takes a couple of coats for full coverage and to avoid streaky lines. Matte Me by Sleek is also another bright, a strong reddish pink that glides on in one go. And finally Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid, I love this one because the colour is gorgeous but I don't find this one dries matte but the colour is so lovely that it wins for me!

Any recommendations for some great matte liquid lipsticks?

My Current Fashion and Beauty Faves!

My current faves is back! This time for the month of October! So this month most of my faves are beauty related because I got so many pretty makeup pieces for my birthday and I've been trying to go out of my comfort zone with lip colours. Firstly, the Makeup Revolution Contour Kit (powder) that I've had my eyes on since it came out was lovingly bought for me by my boyfriend! The kit is in the shade 'light' and the contour colours are perfect for my skin tone, I always worry with contour kits that are in the shades 'light' because sometimes the browns can be too orangey or just way too light so they can't actually be seen. This one has great pigment and the highlighter in this one is so pretty, so I'm pretty happy that I have it singly as well. The next piece is one of my most favourite pieces of jewellery ever! It is everything ! I haven't worn it out yet but I am dying to! Its from a brand called 'admirechokers' that I found on Instagram, they have so many pretty chokers and are really reasonably priced, super cute!

How great is this hat! I bought this from Ebay ages ago but have fallen back in love with it because its pink and sequiny which are two of my fave things ever! I think I only paid £2 for it maybe even less but I think its perfect for festivals or even nights out! My favourite mascara at the moment is definitely the Maybelline Lash Sensational, it has a slightly curved brush which makes my lashes look so much longer! If I could wear glitter all the time I really would I love it so much, especially for nights out! This glitter liner from Collection is perfect for subtly adding glitter but I normally use it to cover my whole lid by putting some on the back of my hand and using a brush to apply it. It also comes in different colours, which I definitely need to collect! The two lip products for this month are very different, the New Look one which was a present from one of my best friends is a light purple, mauve shade called Brown Pattern which is perfect if you have a heavy eye and want something a bit lighter on your lips. And the Maybelline Vivid Matte Lipstick is so pretty, a dark red/plum colour which is very fitting for the Autumn/Winter months. Let me know what your favourite Autumn/Winter lipsticks are!

My Favourite.... Lipsticks

So following on from my favourite chokers post, I thought I would continue it by showing you my favourite lipsticks. I love lipsticks, especially how they can completely change your look with just one colour. So these are my faves, the Kate Moss lipstick (which I mentioned in my current faves post) in the shade 01 'Red Nose Red', its the perfect Christmas red! The H&M lipstick in 040 'Pomegranate' (which I also mentioned in my current favourites), the two velvet lip products are by MUA who I totally love as a brand, these two are in the shades 'Kooky' and 'Tranquility' and they go on wet and dry matte! The darkest lipstick I have is my Rimmel London one in 380 'Dark Night Waterl-oops! (great name right) its a gorgeous dark plummy purple. The last lipstick is by Topshop called Nevada, a nudey peach shade.

My current Fashion and Beauty faves!

My current faves at the moment are a bit of a mash up of old and new things, I always end up finding myself going back for my old trustworthy beauty products but this month I ventured out and bought two new products that seemed worth a try. The Soap and Glory body mist has been one of my favourites for ages! It smells amazing and stays on for the whole day, the Neutrogena 'oil-free' moisturiser is a newbie that I've only just got into trying and I love it already, it leaves my skin so soft and doesn't dry it out at all. Along with that another newbie is the H&M lipstick in '040 Pomegranate' which straight away is a great name and it really is a gorgeous pomegranate red which i like as opposed to my usual go to red lipstick (being either Clinique in 'Cherry Pop' or Rimmel London Kate Moss in '01 Red Nose Red'). My jewelry piece for this month is definitely my moonstone style ring from Brandy Melville and my clutch bag of choice is this beauty from Matalan that I got for £3 in the sale! And lastly but far far from least are my amazing trainers that I found on Ebay! I'm in utter love with them and guiltily have been wearing them whenever I can!
