I am always on the hunt for new lip care products due to my sensitive lips. I came across this new Nivea Fruity Shine Peach Lip Care and I must say I think I may have a new favourite!   I love the moisturising nature of this lip balm as well as the gorgeous peach aroma. This balm also doesn't fail to deliver its promise of containing 'shimmering pigments' which does truly give off a 'fabulous shimmer'. I adore everything about this balm and I wish I picked up more! If you decide to try it let me know your opinion's.

If you are after a moisturising, red lip balm then look no further that Rimmel's Lasting Finish Colour Balm in the shade 'Redder the Better'.     I love this balm and I think it is absolutely brilliant for a drugstore/high-street makeup product. Firstly it is extremely pigmented and one application of this might be enough. What I love about this balm is that it is buildable. So you could apply just one layer to create a rich stain or keep applying it for a more dramatic look.   This balm is very moisturising and you do not have to prepare your lips in advance with an ordinary lip balm. You can just use this straight away, which I find to be very handy when I am in a rush. Also the application is super easy because it literally glides across your lips. I recommend this to anyone who is after a gorgeous, creamy red lip balm.  

  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...

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'.   L'Oreal Colour Riche 373 Magnetic Coral Swatch    If you haven't got a coral coloured lipstick or you feel like having a slightly more moisturising one then have a look at this L'...

Welcome Winter! One thing that the cold Winter months are guaranteed to bring is chapped, dry and cracked lips. This is both uncomfortable and can be unattractive. The best way to avoid this look is to regularly apply some form of lip care like a chapstick or a lip balm. This is important to do after you eat or drink anything and before you go to bed. My preferred lip care is using either my Coca-Cola Cherry Lip Balm or one of my Maybelline Baby Lips one.   However, all is not lost and dry lips can be minimised or even prevented by r egularly exfoliating your lips. This is because it helps to keep them smooth and crack free. One of my previous blog posts explains how to do this using Vaseline. If you want to see it click here . Don't forget to take extra care of your lips.  

I wanted to try out a matte lipstick and decided to try one of MUA's, as I love most of their products. I decided to try out 'Pouty Pink' which is available online for £1 !   I have to say that this has become my 'go to' lipstick and I cannot live without it! The colour is amazing and it has good staying power.     As you can see from the swatch the lipstick is a coral-pink colour and can be applied sheer to give a slight pink tint to the lips or applied fully.   Pros: matte texture lovely coral-pink great price!   Cons: as it is a matte lipstick it can be very drying due to its matte texture it can cause lips to crack, but this can be prevented if you apply a light layer of lip balm before you apply the lipstick       This lipstick is very popular and does go out of stock quickly. So if you want one get in quick!   MUA Pouty Pink Matte Lipstick available online f...

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 m...

Are you tired of having dry flaky lips, that crack as soon as your put on your favourite lipstick?! Do you long for soft, smooth lips? If so try this handy exfoliating method! All you need is: Vaseline a toothbrush (not your everyday one) Start by putting less than a pea-sized amount of Vaseline on your lips. Then using your toothbrush, gently rub over your lips in circular motions for about 10-15 seconds . Afterwards reapply some Vaseline to hydrate your lips, and you're done. You will now have soft, smooth lips!

Think pink! If you are after a highly pigmented bright pink lip gloss then look no further than the Accessorize Lipgloss Tube in the colour Fan Club . I absolutely adore this lip gloss and love the colour! I can apply it sheer to give a slight hint of colour or add a few more layers to create a bold, bright, shiny full lips effect.   End thoughts I love this lip gloss and its' high colour pigment. If you are after a shiny lip gloss with a bright colour look no further than the Access orize Lipgloss Tubes which are available online for £3 !

Do you want baby soft lips?   So I wanted to try Maybelline's Baby Lips lip balm as I have heard all the hype on blogs and YouTube and needed to test them out for myself. Maybelline offers six Baby Lips lip balms  in total, three of which are coloured (Pink Punch, Cherry Me, Peach Kiss ) and three colourless ones ( Hydrate, Repair, Mint Fresh ). They all claim to be moisturising and provide 8 hours of hydration. However, I decided to pick up two first, just in case I did not like them, so opted for two of the 'coloured balms' as I would rather have a subtle hint of colour on my lips instead of none. I chose  'Cherry Me' and 'Pink Punch' . LEFT: 'Cherry Me'             RIGHT: 'Pink Punch' Packaging I love the use of bold, bright, eye-catching colours which makes it easy to spot them from other products. I also like the clever font that Maybelline chose to put on their...

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!
