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?

Tiny beauty haul thanks to the bank of DAD

For these past two days I have suffered from chronic stomach cramps which induce me to feel faint, have shivers and lose feeling in my legs. Yes, they really are THAT bad. After having to come home from work early yesterday and feeling not to well again today yet battling into work, he treated me a bit. Bless.


So these are everything I got and admit-tingly its not a lot but new things really cheer you up! I REALLY wanted the limited edition neon pink Barry M and he said make it over £6.00 (what it needed to be free) and even though you can buy it separately I obviously didn't argue :P I've been after some cheap lip liners for a month or so now as I find them rather hard to use and didn't want to fork out loads for say a MAC one. I seen these at £2.99 each and 2P short decided to pick up the pencil sharpener too! I picked up a red and pink as they're the colours I wear most! 



I also picked up a Models Own nail varnish in Hedonist £5.00 after eying it up for a week or too and its such a beautiful colour.

Mini LUSH haul

On my recent trip to Lincoln (My favourite city ever!)I bought just a few things from LUSH (My favourite shop ever!) I am one massive LUSH addict and this isn't really alot for me to get whilst there! 

1) The Comforter (£4.25)
2) Think Pink (£2.50)
3) Blackberry Bath Bomb (£2.95)


The big pink one at the top is a bubble bar called 'The Comforter' and its my LUSH holy grail product! If any of you have ever tried the Bubblegum lip scrub or the special limited edition Snow Fairy shower gel at christmas you will recognise the ace smell. Also similar to the egg bath bombs at easter!

The second smaller item is the Think Pink bath bomb and probably my favourite bath bomb from LUSH. It has a smaller price of £2.50 and admit-tingly is smaller than some bombs but lets out just as much colour and amazing smells. It makes your bath a lovely mixture between pale and bright pink (if that makes sense) just a basic pink colour. But again, it smells fantastic. This product is something I will always come back too.

And finally the last is the Blackberry Bath Bomb and this is £2.95. Slightly bigger than Think Pink but smaller than the £3.20 bombs. This turns your bath into an amazing purple colour and has a surprise in the middle. 


If you have never visited LUSH before because you're bamboozled when walking in, just try something! Its much simpler to get a grasp on what items do what once you've used a LUSH product before and they are certainly worth the money. Plus they are 'home-made' and against animal cruelty.

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!

My M.A.C lipstick collection

Been wanting to make some kind of post like this for a while and I feel my collection is 'big' enough to finally do one! Yay.

http://www.maccosmetics.co.uk sell their lipsticks at £14.00 in the UK, and I think they're around $15 in the US (Thats what it says on the .com website) People have different opinions on M.A.C stuff, personally, I love it. And a full make up collection will come soon! They are pricey, even I will admit that. But they're worth it if you are into makeup. Truthfully, if you aren't really into make up that much, there is so many dupes in the drugstores just like them and so much cheaper. But I enjoy make up, and I like to spend the money on it. 


From left to right: Saint Germain, Ruby Woo, Snob,Up The Amp, Creme Cup, RiRi Boy, Captive.

Yes, I admit my collection doesn't have that much of a colour range but I LOVE all these colours. 

Saint Germain - Such a BRIGHT BARBIE PINK. Quite hard to wear I personally think. But its such a pretty colour! It was the first lipstick I ever bought from M.A.C and I think I will always love this colour. Amplified finish. 

Ruby Woo - The MOST DRYING LIPSTICK EVER. Personally, I prefer some other red lipsticks I have compared to this only because the actual colour is a bright red, and I like berry reds. Its a matte finish and I mean a VERY MATTE finish. 

Snob - One of my all time favourites. Such a lovely pink shade. Its not as bright as SG but not pale either. Its just the perfect pink colour! Nice for every day wear also. Satin finish.

Up The Amp - Actually got this colour from a BACK2MAC I did. Its a wonderful plum purple. Really hard to wear but I adore it so much. Admittedly I haven't wore it out yet sadly. I need to be more brave! Purple lippy's sound scary but this is beautiful.Amplified finish. 

Creme Cup - A pinky nude shade whats perfect for any occasion. I like this because on me once I've had it on for a couple of hours it looks like a coral colour and its perfect. Nudes do not suit everyone so try out some testers. You don't want to look washed out. This has more colour in it that say Myth by M.A.C so its a lovely nude to chose! Cremesheen finish.

RiRi Boy - Very similar to Up The Amp but a Matte finish, also limited edition.

Captive - My newest one and already one of my favourites. As I said before I love the more dark red, plum red colours. And this is just perfect! Satin finish.
