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

Revlon Colourburst lipgloss - £7.99

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss- £6.99

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 Mega Shine Lipgloss- £4.50

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!

Urban Decay Lip Junkie lipgloss- £13

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

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!
