L-R Nude Kate, Rouge Scandal, Love Liberty

L-R Nude Kate, Rouge Scandal, Love Liberty

Charlotte Tilbury - Nude Kate

This is a very pretty nude colour that's extremely easy to wear, whether that be day or night. These are the first Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks I have owned and I have since found that they're incredibly long lasting and I've nothing by praise for this collection. As a force of habit I continually re-apply lipstick throughout the day, however with these if I didn't want, I would not have too.

YSL - Rouge Pur Couture the Mats - 204 Rouge Scandal

This is the 3rd YSL lipstick I've owned, (I wrote a review of those here) however this shade is from a different collection. This lipstick is one that I've found myself wearing the most throughout the Christmas period. It's a really sweet berry colour, that I've found to suit my complexion perfectly. This although comes across as more of an evening colour is actually great for day and night. It is such a long lasting, very wearable lipstick, that only requires minimal 'top-ups' throughout the day.

Charlotte Tilbury - Love Liberty

This shade is a gorgeous deep berry and therefore gives more of a statement lip compared with Nude Kate. However, the wear is very much the same extremely long lasting and incredibly easy to apply. This is a shade I will probably favour for an evening occasion, however it is a colour that could be paired with a dark outfit to give it a burst of colour.

Do you own any of these? Or have an shade recommendations?

Thanks for reading!

Benefit POREfessional, Benefit High Beam and YSL Rouge Volupte Shine - 12

So me a few friends decided retail therapy was very much needed de-stress from A2 revision. So on Wednesday after we'd finished sixth form, that's exactly what we did. I went with the intention of just window shopping, however me being me it didn't end that way.

I've wanted to try more of Benefit's products for a while now after trying their foundation a couple of months back and I've seen rave reviews for both the POREfessional and High Beam and I'm so glad they didn't disappoint. I'm prone to 'wrinkles' under my eyes and after wearing it today I've been so pleased with the results I also used it on my nose, chin and eye lids and my make-up has stayed put and it's made feel so much more confident when they say they're the 'UK's Best Selling Primer' I can definitely see why. I've also fallen in love with this highlighter I just love the way it sits on my skin and the shine it adds to both my cheek and brow bones. I've used highlighters before and have liked the results however with this one i'm more than impressed and can tell it's going to last me a while, as is the POREfessional however both will become a staple piece in my everyday make-up.

A couple of weeks ago I brought the YSL Touche Eclat and I was pleased with the quality of not only the packaging, but also the product itself. So when I found myself at the YSL counter in House of Fraser looking at their Rouge Volupte Shine lipsticks, I feel in love with this sheen coral colour, once that I knew I'd be able to wear with most of my day to day looks. It retails at £24 and as expensive as I knew it was I felt it was a worth while investment because I knew I was paying for quality as well as the name. I'm so pleased I took the plunge as this feels beautiful onto my lips and smells amazing. It's got such a full colour which it achieved extremely easy. As much as I'd love to own more than one, I know this will probably be the only one, however would still highly recommend these lipsticks.

YSL Touche Eclat

YSLTouche Eclat

Okay so I may have literally brought this product 24 hours, after eyeing it up in Boots for some time and finally decided that with my friend being a Boots employee with 12% discount, it was about time! I am already in love with this product, I'm prone to dark circles under my eyes (I've tried everything nothing works) my collection 2000 concealer was doing the job, however for me it just needed something else. This is that something else, it works wonders! I look so much more awake and vibrant, who'd have thought? It's got a great coverage and one 'pump' is enough to cover everything I want covered on my face.

I brought it in the shade '1' which is known as their universal colour, that literally blends with any skin pigment. I comes out a very peachy colour, however is extremely easy to blend in.

It retails at £25 and is available in Boots flagship stores as well as House of Fraser, John Lewis and Debenhams.
