The Lip Junkie | Lip Gloss

As It's been a while, I feel it's time this post was put up after the success of the Lip Crayons.

The idea behind this is I have really started to accumulate a lot of lip products, I'm not even a hundred percent sure how it happened but it did. Anyway I thought it would be nice to share what I have and give my opinion on them.

Today we are moving on to lipgloss
If you missed the lip crayons one click here

Here is a nice overview of my lipglosses
I own 6 by revlon, 2 from NYX, 2 from Urban Decay and then one from Dior, Bourjois, Miss Guided and No.7




Top Row = Revlon Colourburst Lipgloss- Strawberry and Adorned and Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Pop
Bottom Row- Revlon super lustrous lipgloss in Berry Allure, Snow Pink and Kiss Me Coral

First the Colourburst Lip glosses. These are the older style I think. 

Strawberry is a redish pink with shimmer through it but  it isn't like chunky glitter so it's not rough on your lips.
Adorned is the brightest most opaque lipgloss in existence I swear. I was so surprised when I swatched this on my hand! Its a very blue toned pink with lots of fuchsia  shimmer. It was hard to picture how bright this actually is! On a night out this would be fab

These lip glosses don't have a particular fragrance, the don't smell bad they just smell like make up I guess. But i definitely love these and if you like bright colours and lip glosses you MUST go try Adorned!

The super lustrous collection is newer. They have a beautiful colour selection. They basically smell the same as the colour burst ones. I have 2 glitter glosses from this collection and two without any glitter or shimmer. The cream glosses I have are pink pop and Berry Allure. 
Pink Pop is a hot pink gloss that isn't really opaque  and Berry Allure looks a lot darker in the bottle but is actually a really nice in between pink and berry and it's not too dark so it's so perfect for during the day!
The two glittery ones i own are Snow Pink and Kiss Me Coral
Snow pink comes out as almost a clear gloss with gold shimmer. It's super pretty and perfect to go on top of any lipstick to give it a beautiful finish. 
Kiss Me Coral is a bright coral that I love in summer.

I don't find you can feel any grittyness with these glosses and none of them are really sticky either which i just love. All round Revlon just do fantastic glosses in a beautiful range of colours.


NYX - Beige and Tea Rose

These glosses are so creamy It's just beautiful! Both are beautiful worn by themselves or layered over lip sticks. They have a cherry scent which i adore. It's one of my favourite scents for lip products. There's nothing more really to say than these are just really nice lipglossses. However I sadly was slightly disappointed with beige after the glowing reviews purely because I wanted to love it so much but the colour looks odd on me, that shade of pink just doesn't seem to suit me sadly! But I use it over lipstick a lot!


These are my two Urban Decay lipglosses both of which are beautiful.
On top is the shade Crush, this is practically the same as Pink Pop from Revlon in colour and in finish. I find it is a bit of a thicker consistency which i quite like.
Underneath we have the shade sin which is a gorgeous nude shade with gold shimmer.
Both have a peppermint scent which i love, it feels very fresh! Also these lipglosses always seem to last a while on me so big thumbs up for that!

Dior Addict Lipgloss summer 2012 - £22 I think this was limitied edition- Sorry!

Oh my one true love lipgloss. This is my beloved Dior Addict lipgloss in the shade glow. I can't even express my love for this, It's just so perfect. The colour is so me, Pinky/reddy/coral I just love it, This is the kind of shades that suit my skin tone best. It's beautiful by itself and over lipstick and it feels just amazing. I can't recommend it enough!
Bourjois 3D Effect lipgloss  - £7.99
Missguided Lipgloss (I can't find any link for this!)
No.7 High Shine Lipgloss- £9

Finally the last 3, which are all very similar as you can see!
First on top is bourjois 3D effect gloss from the summer collection (last years i think) in shade 49.
Its a peachy pink with a lot of gold shimmer which looks beautiful when the sunlight hits it, it looks magical.
Underneath is the missguided one i own, i think i actually got it in a magazine! It's another peachy pink gloss, slightly paler than the bourjois one and with more silvery flecks of shimmer in it. Its in the shade peace
Lastly is No.7 in coral kiss. Its basically the same as the missguided one but with less shimmer.
These lipgloss shades are great to have because they are so simple and easy to wear and look great layered as well.
They are all good lipglosses however the No.7 bugs me as it is one of those bottles that you can hardly get any lipgloss out!- you all know what i'm talking about, it like sucks the gloss off when you pull out the applicator!

So that is all my lipglosses- I'm beginning to possibly aqquire a lip product addiction i think, however I love them all <3

Hope you are all having a wonderful wonderful day

A Nail Art Catch Up

Recently I've been doing a lot of nail art again. Painting my nails is something I really enjoy and I always make time for it as I feel like it is my "me time"
Generally people don't understand my "obsession" with nails, but some people like to watch TV to wind down, some listen to music, some have a nap. I paint my  nails.


This design is one by MissJenFabulous on youtube, she has fantastic tutorials and even has a series of videos for beginners which this design is taken from. I changed the colours because i was feeling the blues/greens rather than pinks and ended up looking kind of like grass but i like it none the less.
Essie: Mint Candy Apple
Barry M: Greenberry
Barry M: Guava
Just a random unbranded gold glitter striper


These nails were my freshers week nails for university. I saw the picture on instagram, I don't know who the original credits go to but it's fabulous.
As for as the design goes it looks pretty complicated but its surprisingly not. Just dots and lines.
This design is so much fun and great for summer.
I used a combination of nail stripers and dotting tools to create this.
China Glaze- Pool Party
China Glaze- Turned up Turquoise
Barry M- Matt White
Barry M- Black


This design i just put together myself- no photo used which is unusual for me but something I would love to do more of. I really wanted to do a very simply floral design that was quite vintage too. Something to go with the winged eyeliner red lipstick look and this is what i came up with. Its very simple very easy to do and only requires black and white nail polish. Both of the ones i used are from barry m and i just used a dotting tool to create the flowers

These are nails i did for my flatmate, I wasn't very happy with them but she loved them anyway. They were meant to be mini strawberries but if anyone doesn't see that then my answer is "it's interpretive" These were taken from a picture my flatmate found and I have no idea where she got it from!
I used dotting tools for this design.
OPI - I think in Pink
Barry M- Matt White
Barry M- Blood Orange
Barry M- Key Lime
Sally Hansen-Mellow Yellow

This is one of my favourite nail art designs ever and one of the simplest. No tools required! There's nothing more to really say about this but it's just so elegant and classy looking, perfect for any occasion.
Barry M- Lychee
Barry M- Black
Essie- Beyond Cozy

This semester at university i became involved in the Music Society and there was a british themed concert that I was doing front of house so naturally I had to match my nails to the theme with union jacks. I just used a nail striper for this creating the thicker white lines and then adding the thinner red ones.
Barry M- Blue Plum
Models Own- white light
Models Own- Red Lustre

This design was me just really playing around with gems and i'm unsure if i like them anyway but i thought I'd show you guys anyway.
I just used a dotting tool to create the little flowers and then put a little gem in the middle of each one 
Barry M- papaya
Barry M- White


These are my flat mate Katie's nails, she decided she wanted Norwegian flags on her nails because why not. It was very simple and it looks very cute without even looking like flags on her nails. I just used a striper to create two thick white lines and then added the thin blue one on top.
Barry M- blood orange
Models Own- white light
Barry M- Blue Plum


For the first weekend in spring I had to wear florals to my work and while I was painting my nails I thought I'd try and recreate the florals on my dress. I just used dotting tools for this and I was really happy with the way it turned out.
Barry M- Lychee
Barry M- Blood Orange
Barry M- Passion Fruit
Barry- Raspberry
Barry M- Black
Barry M- Key Lime
Rimmel- Sea Green

One of my flatmates friends from the states came and visited us in March and just before she left I painted her nails with a lot of scottish pride as she asked for tartan. We looked up tartan prints online and I asked her to pick one from which I selected an area of the print to recreate on her nails.
Models Own- cornflower gleam
Models Own- white light
Barry M- Black
Models Own- Red Lustre
Sally Hansen- Mellow Yellow

 In my searches for a nail art design I wanted to do i found this on youtube. The design turned out lovely and  probably the most painting like nails I've ever done. In the video she uses a nail art brush, I just used dotting tools!
Essie- Where's My Chauffeur
O.P.I- I think in pink
Barry M- Raspberry
(the middle pink was a mixture of the two shades)
Barry M- Key lime
Rimmel- Sea Green

Before we left uni for the summer I promised my flat mate Tala that I would paint minions on her nails. I use the tutorial that MissJenFabulous posted to do this. 
Sally Hansen- Mellow Yellow
Barry M- Black
Models Own- white light
Barry M- Blue Plum
O.P.I- French Quarter For Your Thoughts


This design and the following one are both from pictures i found on instagram and I'm afraid I have no idea who created them. However It is super cute. I think the combination of the flowers stripes and dots is just so cute.
Barry M- Papaya
Models Own- White Light
Barry M- Huckleberry
Barry M- Peach Melba
Barry M- Sugar Apple




The more i look at this picture the more I like this design. The pale pink base isn't something i usually go for but i think it looks so cute with the purple roses.
Barry M- Rose Hip
Barry M- Prickly Pear
Maybelline- Ice Queen


And that concludes my nail art catch up, this is almost every nailart design I've created/recreated since the end of last summer! Hope you like these kind of posts and I'm sure it wont be long until another nail art post!

P.S. Sorry it's been so long since i posted!

The Lip Junkie | Lip Crayons

Recently I have come to the conclusion that I am starting to hoard lip products. Well I basically hoard beauty products but I just allow myself to because they make me happy. Now I sound crazy but i'm sure if you are on  this blog you understand me.

Sidenote, I got a fancy DSLR camera for christmas that i am still figuring out how to use so please bare with me on the picture quality

I thought I'd share with you what lip products I have and my thoughts on them starting with lip crayons.



I love lip crayons, I think they are generally great because they are just so easy. I use them all the time and have worked up a few different ones to share with you


I have all the soap & Glory gloss sticks, a couple of the Bourjois and Revlon ones, one from Clinique and one from No.7


Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Sticks  - £8
Left-Right
Raplumzel- A berry shade
Plum Jam- A plummy nude
Fushia-Ristic- A coraly shade
Bashfull- A pink nude
Nudist- A true nude

I love the colour selection in these lip crayons. All five are beautiful and wearable colours and unlike many collections of make up there isn't a single dud of a colour.
There is a vanilla scent to these which I personally love but it's not overpowering
They are like most lip crayons I've come across twist up so no sharpening is required.



Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon - £7.99
Orange Punch
Red Sunshine

These lip crayons are a lot brighter than the soap and glory ones and still glossy. I have the coral and the Red shade from the collection which are beautiful. They are so pigmented, one swipe and you're ready to go. I think these make wearing a bright lip fuss free and easy.

I did also have the paler pink shade from this collection called On The Beach. This was, what I found, the colour that had the most buzz around it however it unfortunately just did not suit me in the slightest. I don't know what it is with colours like that but they just do nothing for me so I passed it on to my little sister

I don't find these lip crayons have a scent, they just kind of smell like make up and like the soap and glory sticks these are also twist up


Crush
Rendez-Vous

The Revlon Balms stains have a peppermint scent which I adore because I love the smell of mint. They are less glossy than the previous two brands but still have shine to them. The colour Crush is perfect for autumn/winter. It's the kind of colour I just wear all the time and Rendez-Vous is my perfect Spring/Summer shade because I am all about the corals in the warmer months.
The pigmentation is great in these and again they are just easy to wear and fuss free.
A huge bonus for me is that they aren't too dry that they show off every little crack and line in my lips but they also stain the lip so the colour stays on for a decent length of time. I also found that the colour never transfers at all!


No.7 High Shine Lip Crayon- £9
Clinique Chubby Sticks Lip Balm- £17

firstly the No.7 lip crayon, This is the lip crayon I own that I wear the least and that interest me least. I don't know why, I think i
I picked an uninteresting colour for me in the hopes it'd be a good everyday colour but I just don't find myself ever reaching for it.
The product itself however is lovely. It again has a shine to it but itts not super glossy as you would imagine by the name. The staying power is alright not fantastic, just sort of average.
On the plus side I do find this lip crayon moisturising which is always a bonus considering my lips are constantly chapped

The Clinique chubby stick was the first lip crayon I tried because I got a free sample size with another clinique purchase. It is a very subtle colour which I love and this is the one I reach for, for that everday lip look. I don't find there is a particular fragrance to the chubby sticks and they are glossy but not overly glossy. I certainly understand the craze over these however I am not sure they are worth the steep £17 when there a great alternatives on the highstreet.

Overall I would say the Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Sticks are my favourite lip crayons out of all the ones I have tried and they are certainly the ones I reach for the most. I just love the colour selection, they are great for day and night and I think all the colours would suit every skin tone. They smell great and are so easy to use. Lip crayons are definitely fast becoming my preferred lip product.

What are your favourite lip crayons? I'm always dying for more!

A Floral Nail Art Fortnight

Hello lovelies
A couple weeks a go I did a post called A Nail Art Week and you all seemed to like it so this is kind of a sequel to that.
I've been doing nail art all the time, I haven't had plain nails for over a month now! I just love looking down at my nails and seeing a pretty design.
I have four designs to show you all of which are floral! I didn't do it on purpose I just seem to be loving the flowers.
Same as the last one, none of these are actually my designs, I wish they were and hopefully soon I'll get creative enough to create my own.

Please excuse the not so great quality of this photo
This design I saw on youtube somewhere and I can't find it again to link for you! sorry
Nail Polishes Used
Essie: Mint Candy Apple
Rimmel: Nail Tip Whitener
Sally Hansen: Mellow Yellow

I just used dotting tools for this design. I used a larger one for the centre of the flower using the yellow and then using a smaller dotting tool and the white i dotted right next to the centre and dragged it out to create the daisy petals.

This design here Is from BubzBeauty (Tutorial Here)
I changed it ever so slightly by doing polka dots on both my middle and pinky but that's it

Nail Polishes
Rimmel: Nail tip Whitener
Barry M: Passion Fruit
Barry M: Peach Melba
Champneys: Shadow

Only tools I used were dotting tools. With a large one I created the flower "blobs" and the using a smaller one I dotted the centres and drew the little stems.

This design I saw on Instagram and thought it was really pretty. Excuse the slight mess, I hadn't cleaned them up yet.
Nail polishes
Barry M: Blue Plum
Rimmel: Nail Tip Whitener
Sally Hansen: Mellow Yellow

Again I just used dotting tools
I dotted the centres and the did 5 dots around the yellow and using a dotting tool I have which is just like a sharp point i dragged away the nail polish to create a more petal look. You could easily use a tooth pick for this.

Finally, my favourite and what is currently on my nails. This design is again from BubzBeauty (tutorial Here)
Polishes Used
Rimmel: Nail Tip Whitener
Barry M: Peach Melba
Essie: Mint Candy Apple
Barry M: Shocking Pink
Rimmel: Sea Green

Like all the others, I used dotting tools. For the roses, Using a large dotting tool and the colour Peach Melba I create the blob, that's all it is really. The using the nail art dotting tool I have that is just a sharp point I create squiggly lines with shocking pink around the blob to create a rose effect. Finally using the green i made little leaves.

What one do you like best?

Testing Products

Hola lovelies

I've recently purchased a few no.7 items to try out. No.7 is a makeup and skin are brand by boots and one I've never really taken an interest in. However since working in boots for the last month I've had to learn about the products and things because its my job basically. In the process I've found myself eyeing up lots of products and it has resulted in this. 

First off here I have two samples.
On the left is the new no.7 cc cream. I have a sample of this because staff were asked to take one basically. It's a way for us to get to know the product on a more personal level and really find out about how it works. If you want to try it and want a sample in sure any member of staff would happily give you one. They would in my store anyway.
Secondly I have the colour calming primer. I quite often have a rather red face and I also have major problems with my face makeup staying on. So all in all this seems perfect. I wasn't sure wether I wanted to but the full size so my lovely colleague who is our beauty consultant gave me a sample! Again if you want to try any of the liquid products like foundations primers etc. I'm sure you could easily get one. 

Next I bought these two liquid eyeliners in such bright colours! I love it! I've swatches these on my hands quite a few times for customers and I can never get it off after so I think these are going to be extremely long lasting. These are the " stay precise liquid liner" the top colour is mermaid and underneath is sky high.
One of the main reasons I bought these was to actually get the deal that no7 is currently having which is if you buy 2 cosmetic products from the brand you get a free gift worth £30 
I love trying new products so this sounded fabby to me 

The first two things that come in the free goody bag are the triple protection tinted moisturiser in fair/medium and the airbrush away primer. Again I'm excited to try the primer loads! I want to see if it makes a difference to the staying power of my foundation!

 Next is a mascara. It's the extreme length waterproof in black

 Then a lovely sparkly lilacy pink but still neutral eyeshadow which doesn't tell me the shade unfortunately

And lastly a high shine lip gloss in coral kiss

I haven't tried any of these products yet so I'm super excited to try them all out and see how they all work! I think I'll do another post in the next week all about what I think of the products like little mini reviews.
So really this is just a preview of what's to come

Have you tried any no.7 products? If you haven't they are definitely worth a look. I never looked at it before I started working there and it's a shame because they have some fantastic products!

I heart summer tag!

Hello again lovelies

I hope you are all well and enjoying the summer! It seems to have finally arrived in the UK and Ingrid- Missglamorazzi on YouTube just posted a video for the I heart summer tag and I thought it was perfect timing. (click here to watch)

I love summer, the thought of it all make me so happy just the weather is never as good as it is in my fantasies! 

1. Favourite bronzer for summer?
My fav bronzer and pretty much the only one I own (need to try more!) is Nars Laguna bronzer. I love this. I use it to give my fave a bit of colour so I put it where the sun would tan your face most and it just looks really nice  

2. You're relaxing in a hammock, on a tropical island, what are you sipping on?

I would totally be sipping on a frozen strawberry lemonade. It's the best drink I have ever had. If you're in America. Go to the restaurant applebees and have a frozen strawberry lemonade. It'll be the best thing you ever do with your life. I wish we could get them in the uk :( definitely should learn to make them!

3. Favourite summer lip product 

Of course I can't pick just one. I ended up with 5, woops. 

Left to right
Revlon lip butters: wild watermelon, tutti frutti
Maybelline color sensational vivids: shocking coral
L'oreal lipstick that i don't know what kind it is! But it's in the shade blushing sequin
Lastly my Dior lipgloss in glow
Top to bottom is same as left to right with the lipgloss on the far right



The revlon lip butters are fantastic. They give off a lot of colour but are also very moisturising. These are the two colours I own and probably my two favourites in the whole line although I'm eyeing up the shade sorbet. Tutti frutti is a bright orangey coral and wild watermelon is a beautiful kind if red with a bit if coral to it.  But the colours are just perfect for summer and they are great no fuss lip products 

The maybelline lipstick is just so fun. It's a bright bright like neonish coral thats just so perfect for this time of year. It looks great with and without a tan. I find its amazing when you have just like very natural make up, like only mascara and then this on the lips. It's just perfect 

This l'oreal lipstick I talk about all the time. It's so fantastic I wish I bought more when I was in America because they aren't out in the uk yet. This lipstick is the perfect bright pink with perfect balance between sheer and opaque! I just love it so much and it lasts a really long time!

Lastly my Dior lipgloss is my pride and joy. I bought this in duty free on my way to lanzarote and I don't regret the small fortune it cost me. Its another coral colour. You can tell i just love coral. It looks great by itself as beautiful brignt gloss but not in your face. You get me? and it also looks great over other lipsticks. 

4. Pool or beach?
I would always say the pool probably because in Scotland I could never go in the sea it's just far too cold but If i was in Hawaii or something then "lets go to the beach each lets go get away"

5. Summer =crazy hair, what's your must have styling product? 

In the UK I certainly don't have any crazy hair problems that I don't have in winter because there is zero humidity here. But this is just my go to styling product to tame down my naturally crazy hair. It's the Aussie dual personality curl definition and soft feel serum and its part of the frizz miracle range. I just got this at boots and I really like it. It just really helps to calm down the frizziness of natural curly hair. 

6. Sun bathing or fake tanning? 
I love sun bathing not going to lie but I always wear sun cream and I never get burn so it's okay! I never really fake tan although I bought a gradual tan from dove which I used for the first time a few days ago and I really like it so maybe this is me entering the tanning world!

7. Favourite summer nail polish
Again I couldn't pick one I ended up choosing twelve! I have a slight addiction to nail polish which if read my blog on a regular basis you already know
I picked 4 essay polishes 
bikini so teeny
Lilacism
Mint candy apple
Penny talk 
I picked one models own nail Polish. It's called northern lights and its just so beautiful! Opaque pale pink and holographic glitter! 
I chose 5 Barry m gelly hi shine. I just live these
Blueberry
Prickly pear
Greenberry 
Guava 
Passion fruit
And lastly two china glaze polishes 
First is fairy first which is a clear nail polish with finely milled holographic glitter through it. This just adds extra gorgeousness to any nail polish. I can't even explain how much I love it. When the sun hits it is just ugh so beautiful!
The other china glaze one I picked is turned up turquoise. This is like a neon turquoise green. It's so bright and so fun I just love it. 


8. Any summer traditions?
I guess going on holiday with my family abroad is a summer tradition because Ive been lucky enough to get to go abroad every year since I was 4. 

9. Favourite summer scent?
This year my favourite summer scent is the Marc Jacobs daisy eau so fresh sunshine


First of all, just look at the bottle! It's so beautiful. It screams summer!
This was in my June favourites and I typed out what the Marc Jacobs website says about the scent as I'm rubbish at describing fragrances so here it is again. "A playful floral fruity, Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine reinterprets the classic Daisy Eau So Fresh with a bolder, fruitier twist. Colorful and energetic, the fragrance radiates sun-drenched juiciness with an addictive fruity top. The heart is an intoxicating breeze of airy, uplifting jasmine petals that dries down to a smooth, velvety base of warmth and subtle sweetness. 

Top Notes: Strawberry, Apple Blossom, Pink Grapefruit 
Mid Notes: Jasmine Petals, Day Lily, Rose 
Base Notes: Violet Leaf, White Oak Moss, Amber Wood"


10. Favourite BBQ food?
Mine would be corn on the cob for non meat wise and meat wise I love chicken skewers especially with pepper and onion! So good!

11. What's your favourite summer proof product? 
Mine will be water proof mascara. I love the covergirl clump crusher mascara and also the no.7 stay perfect mascara which I review here



12. Any summer vacation plans this year? No plans? Tell is about your dream summer trip?

I've actually already been on my main holiday which was to Florida. (Read about it here). I went with my sister my parents and my grandparents. It was a fantastic holiday I had so much fun. 
But I also am going away for just short of a week with my granny. She booked it for me and her as a surprise because I was having a rubbish start to the year. So we are going to London and Paris and I'm so excited! I've always dreamed of Paris and I'm finally getting to go! We are spending three nights in Paris and three nights in London! Don't want to tell you too much about what we're doing while we are there because I plan to do a whole post when I get back accompanied by beautiful pictures!

So thats it! 


If you do this please comment with a link I'd love to read them!

No.7 Stay Perfect Mascara Review

Hola lovelies

I've only ever reviewed a couple of things on this blog but both have gone down really quite well so here's another one for you!

A few weeks ago I got the new no.7 mascara. It's the stay perfect long lasting volume mascara and I have it in black but it also comes in brown/black. 
Incase you don't know what no.7 is. It is a boots make up brand that is all hypo-allergenic so perfect for sensitive skin. 
This is actually a Waterproof mascara but it isn't a problem to come off at the end of the day. All you have to do is dampen a cotton pad with warm water and hold over your eyes for thirty seconds then it just wipes away. It's fantastic. I didn't believe it when I saw the campaign for it. But it's true. I tried it myself. 




One of the first things you'll notice is the tiny brush. It's a plastic applicator which I personally like. I also find with the tiny brush it really separates and lengthens my eyelashes. 
The colour is super black and it does also stay on all day without smudging. 

This is without any mascara on



This has about 2 coats of the mascara. I've actually been asked if I'm wearing fake eyelashes while wearing this mascara. What's also fabulous about it is that if you only put one coat on it gives a nice natural look but you can build it up to be more dramatic without it getting all clumpy. 

Positives:
Love the applicator 
Love the formula, not clumpy
Love how easy it is to take off your eyes

Negatives 
The only problem I have with this is it comes off your eyes at night easily but it sort of goes all over your face in the process which isn't a problem it's just a wee bitty annoying

All in all I really do like this mascara and it's made me want to try more no.7 products!
