KORRES Lip Butter Stick Review.

First of all the packaging of this product is to die for! I love the Oriental theme and of course pink is a bonus. I've been thinking about buying Korres lip products for ages but I'm not really a fan of the little pots, I just don't like the idea of putting potentially dirty fingers (not that I'm dirty) into a pot especially when I'm on the go. 

This is a really good purchase for summer as it is SPF 15 and really hydrating for your lips. If you wear this, it really isn't necessary to wear any extra lipstick or gloss as the colour gives a natural tint which is really wearable. I know they also do this in other colours as I bought the whitish tint one for my mum which is exactly what she wanted and she has been wearing it to death. 

At first I was unsure about the smell as it is quite vanillary, but it's definitley grown on me and the buttery consistency is just so lovely. I really want to check out the other shades of this too!

A Time for Festivities...

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you've been enjoying spending time with family and loved ones on probably the only annual occasion where families have an excuse to come together. Besides my family tradition of eating three times my body weight, presents became a large part of the day. My younger brother especially was in his element when it came to unwrapping not just his own, but everyone elses presents two. Here are a few gifts and moments from the day that I would like to share with you. Where ever you are in the world, you are loved and I wish you all a happy festive season! :) x

Essie: For the twill of it.

I really think that Essie have updated the formula of their nail polish recently so that it applies smoother. After looking at their recent fall collection, this was the only colour of the collection that I really liked. That combined with the apparent new formula for me makes it destined to be a winner. I never usually go for metallic shades but it really does look exquisite in and out of the bottle. Depending on what I'm wearing, especially green, purple or grey, the nail polish seems to change colour to reflect this which to me is just amazing. If only essie was a  little cheaper!

Have an amazing day :) x

Benefit Feelin' Dandy Palette

I've been eyeing this palette up for a while and was so happy when I saw it in my local Sephora. Being pretty girly, the pink blush and gloss immediately attracted me not to mention the gorgeous packaging.

The size of this palette is perfect for travelling and is also a great option for trying out the products before you buy them in full size. 

I've always been a fan of the Benetint lip stain and was excited to try out the posie tint. I love the pop of pink it adds to my cheeks as I have quite a fair complexion but maybe if you were a little more tan than me, it wouldn't be as obvious.

The dandelion gloss is a very subtle pink that gives my lips a healthy shine and isn't too sticky. I reapply it a few times throughout the day.

Thanks for reading and I hope you're having an awesome summer! :) x

Laura Mercier BONBON Lip Gloss

I've never been a lip gloss kind of girl but after taking inspiration from Tanya Burr and her flawless lips, I thought I'd give it a whirl. The colour is perfect for me and gives a subtle pink gloss that looks truly natural.

It isn't sticky which I love and because the colour is so natural, it's pretty low maintenance to you don't have to reapply it throughout the day. 

It is a little pricey at £18.50 from John Lewis, but it's really worth it. 

Can anyone recommend other lipgloss? I'm really enjoying this one for summer!  x

Tumblr!

So I've had tumblr for a while now but have recently been posting every day. It took me a while to get interested in it but after I found a certain type of picture I wanted, I became obsessed! I usually reblog on the go and I find that the official tumblr app is a bit slow and confusing. I discovered an app called t-view lite which is so awesome! You only need to tap the picture and its reblogged! No new window or any of that.

If you're a fellow tumblr user let me know!

Sleek Rose Gold Blush

I purchased this product on a trip to England last month and I'm in love with it. Originally I intended on getting the Nars orgasm blush, but seeing as I was on a tight budget to put it mildly, I settled for this supposed dupe. As my skin is very fair, the pink undertones suit my typical English rose complection and the subtle gold shimmer hopefully gives my a dewy glow. I often find that highlighters make my skin look too shiny but I think this gives my skin the perfect balance. 

For £4.49 at Superdrug, I'm really impressed with this and it can be very buildable for a daytime or nighttime look. 

I'm a sucker for glitter!

Shimmer :)

Have you tried anymore sleek products? Maybe price isn't everything! :) x
