My favourite lip products (Including new Baby Lips review) VASELINE IS BAD FOR YOUR LIPS

My top 2 favourite ever lip products are Nivea Lip Butter and the new Baby Lips. 

Nivea Lip Butter - 
 I have the caramel cream flavour and it has the most gorgeous smell ever! Literally does smell like caramel. I could sit for ages with my nose in this and just absorb the niceness. 
When you apply it to your lips its super creamy. Its really as white/cream as it looks in the tub.

So it can make your lips look covered in white lip balm. Which YES it is, but you don't want anyone to know! So you have to really rub it in. But I LOVE THIS LIP BALM. My lips feel so so so soft once I have applied this and once I have applied it and rubbed it in, it makes my lips have such a lovely shine. I really can't describe the look because its that nice.

Baby Lips - 


After looking for these beauties for like 3 weeks now seeing as though they've been floating around the UK for a while I finally found a Superdrug what stocked them! This one is the hydrating one. I also picked this one because, well its BLUE!
This balm gives the same effect on the lips as Vaseline, a very shiny hydrated look. 
VASELINE is bad for your lips! Your lips get dependant on it, and it doesn't help them at all, it makes them worse. And so you keep applying it and applying it and buy more. You see how it works? You should use a lip balm what doesn't dry out lips like Vaseline does.
 I have only tried this product once but so far I love it and is a runner up to my lip butter for sure.

Barry M Gelly in Blue Grape review

Okay, I'm going to confess. I own over 15 blue nail varnishes. I mean, blue is just my favourite colour ever. I picked up Blue Grape from the Gelly collection my Barry M a while ago and I've only just realised how bloody gorgeous it is!
Swatch on MY nails ^


This is my new favourite nail varnish. It has such a high gloss finish. I only applied one coat too and it was super bright and pigmented. I am absolutely in love!
I totally recommend this product to people who love bright colours, I know for sure I will wear it all year round never mind just in the summer. Have any of you guys tried this?

M.A.C Mineralise Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle

After hearing this being raved about on Youtube, blogs and Instagram I thought I would try this wonderful product. I've had it for a while now (3/4 months or so) and yes, it definitely is AMAZING. The price is £22.00, yes quite alot if you're not used to splurging on high end, expensive make up.But to me, this is a reasonable price for a wonder highlighter/bronzer what will probably last me at last 3 years! So far I've not seen it go down even a small bit and I use it more or less every day give or take a few days. 



Mac offer a range or 'colours' in the skin-finishes and Soft and Gentle is the most popular one and I can totally see why! I'm really pale (NW10 in mac and Porcelain in everything else) And this still really suits my skin tone. But it would also look gorgeous with a tan. 

It can be used anywhere on the body but I add some to the heights of my cheek bones and my nose to give a thinning effect. Its such a perfect highlighter and works really really well too. Its SO pigmented which I love. 


Its colour is a beautiful peachy bronze.

This is a MUST HAVE ITEM in my books and I recommend it to no end!

Collection (2000) Lasting Colour Lipsticks

I have adored Collection's (Previously Collection 2000) make up for ages now. Its all amazing stuff and really cheap too! I like splurging on make up, and brands such as MUA I find such terrible quality. But Collection is really amazing stuff! 
These lipsticks are award winning and I can totally see why! 
They also include SPF15 (added bonus!)
They are super pigmented and the finish is somewhat similar to M.A.C's amplified/satin finishes. Just wonderful, bright, colourful, smooth lipsticks.

 Bubblegum - Ruby Red - Pink Shock - Sweet Tart - Orange Punch

At £2.99 these are affordable and excellent quality. Luckily enough for me, I visited a place where these lipsticks were made a couple of years ago and all the people were so lovely. It was super clean, excellent conditions and it installed a good deal of trust within me that this brand was good quality and trustworthy.


Bubblegum - Ruby Red - Pink Shock - Sweet Tart - Orange Punch


They're all such beautiful colours on the lips. As MAC lipsticks have now gone up another £1.00 (thats £15.00 in the UK now!) I will definitely take another look at these and think about purchasing some more colours!
