NYC 16 Hour Lipstains- Review

Have you tried NYC 16 Hour Smooch Proof Lipstains yet? If you haven't I would recommend giving them a try...

NYC say: 'At last! Lip colour you can count on 16H. The pretty flush of colour that sticks around longer than most guys in this town…and looks WAY better. Goes on and stays on. Forget sticky, gloopy or heavy. These water based shades feel just like your own luscious lips!' And I have to say I agree!

NYC 16 Hour Lipstains currently come in three different colours. Forever Freesia, Persistent Pink and Champagne Stain. I decided to pick up Persistent Pink and Champagne Stain after swatching all three on my hand.

The applicator is like a felt-tip marker which makes it easy to draw around the shape of your lips and then fill them in. I also like that these do not have a strong smell when you apply it like lip stains are known to do.

Persistent Pink:

Persistent Pink is nice colour that I like to use if I am going out shopping or if I'm sporting a winged eyeliner look and I don't want dramatic lips.

Champagne Stain:

Champagne Stain is probably my favourite out of the two and I use it as either a subtle stain or for a full-on dramatic deep red look.

I do genuinely like these and they are probably the best lip stains I have tried and not bad for £3.99! Why not pick one up to see for yourself. x

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!
