2True Glossywear Lipstick Shade 2 Review

I was after a glossy, creamy baby pink lipstick and it took me a while to find a nice one that wouldn't break the bank! I decided to try 2True Glossywear Lipstick Shade 2, as I was enticed by it's claim of a 'silky smooth glossy formula'.

When the lipstick arrived (I ordered it online), I immediately liked the sleek black and silver packaging which gives the impression that the lipstick is expensive.

I was also impressed by the swatch and the lipstick's high pigment!

Swatch

After seeing the swatch I was sure I was on to a winner. However, when I applied the lipstick to my lips I noticed that it was very sheer (needs two to three layers) and too glittery! I think that perhaps when 2True mean glossy, they mean glittery (or at least in this case!). Although I will put this to the test and try another Glossywear Lipstick very soon.

I would not describe this lipstick as glossy, but it is definitely more towards the shimmery spectrum-end of lipsticks. Now don't get me wrong I don't think this lipstick is that bad, but I was disappointed with it being labelled as 'glossy' and it came out as glittery!

On the other hand the lipstick is moisturising and creamy so there is a plus side!

Pros

lovely baby pink colour
creamy
moisturising and hydrating
claims to have sunscreen elements

Cons

not as glossy as it claims to be
too glittery (for me)

This lipstick has its' pros and cons, but it is definitely worth it to give it a try!

Also I suggest that you have a look at all of 2True's range of Glossywear Lipsticks which are available online for £1.99.

Determine your skin's undertone

Determining your skin's undertone is not as difficult as you might think. When you know what your skin's undertone is, it becomes so easy to pick up the right shade of foundation as well as knowing which lipstick shades/tones will compliment your more. You will be much better off knowing your undertone. The three types of skin undertones are cool, warm and neutral. There are many different ways that can be used to determine your undertone. I have found that the most effective way of determining your skin's u ndertone is by looking at the colour of your veins on the inside of your wrists. This post will show you how to find out which undertone you have! Cool undertones Your wrist veins appear blue/purple in natural lighting You can burn easily in the sun Colours that flatter you are: red, navy blue, hot pink, plums, black and soft pastel colours If you have a cool undertone your skin will have more of a 'pinkish or blue' tone to it.

L'Oreal Colour Riche 373 Magnetic Coral Lipstick Review

I went out shopping the other day and I was casually browsing the makeup aisles and I came across this lipstick. I used the tester to swatch and I was blown away by both the colour and it's creamy texture. I absouletly love the colour of this lipstick, which is a beautiful coral shade and is very pigmented. The packaging is sleek and modern, and the use of the gold exterior gives this lipstick a high-end feel. This lipstick is very moisturising and glides on so easy without clinging to the slightly dry parts of my lips. I am not surprised that this lipstick is so moisturising as L'Oreal state that all the lipsticks in their Colour Riche selection are 'enriched with a combination of Omega-3 and Vitamin E and leaves your lips feeling moisturised'.

Coca Cola Cherry Lip Smacker Review

Amazing smell! Since secondary school (I'm now 21) I have been using my trusted Coco Cola Cherry Lip Balm! I honestly don't know where I would be without it! It used to be £1 at Primark (I stocked up!) now I can never seem to find it there, which is a shame. However, it can be found in Tesco but at £2.50. Why I love this lip balm? it has a red hint of colour it is hydrating, especially in the Winter months it also has the most amazing cherry smell, which does in fact smell like Coco Cola Cherry! Although it doesn't taste like it though! (Don't worry, I don't go round eating lip balms!). Swatch Coco Cola Cherry Lip Smacker- single swatch If you can get your hands on this get it! You will not be disappointed, let me know if you do. I would love to hear if you love this as much as I do! Available online in a set of 6 (including other 'flavours') for £9.99!
