Feral Cosmetics x Arpi Limited Edition Collection

Hey beaut's!

If you've been reading my blog for a while now you might already know that I'm a huge Feral Cosmetics fan, if you haven't heard of Feral Cosmetics before their a US, cruelty free and vegan lip products brand which are sold here in the UK on the Beauty Chamber website. Beauty Chamber have recently added two new shades as part of their Feral Cosmetics x Arpi limited edition collection, one of which is a complete new formula for Feral and I couldn't wait to try the duo out on my pout!

The two new shades Feral have launched with American model, actress, singer and TV host Arpi Gabrielyan are simply named R.P and R.P2, R.P is a gorgeous peachy nude which is in Feral's AMAZING liquid lipstick formulation, and R.P2 is a clear gloss lip topper which is crammed full of beautiful gold and silver glitter that twinkles beautifully, perfect for a festive pout! I've always raved about the consistency and texture of Feral's liquid lippies as it's so lovely and I'd go as far as saying one of the best formula's I've tried in terms of liquid lipsticks and the shade R.P certainly follows suit! The product feels super thin and lightweight during the application process where as a lot of other liquid lipsticks I've tried are much thicker and heavier. Despite being thin in constancy R.P still packs a pigmented punch and is fully opaque in one quick swipe, you definitely don't need to build up the opacity that's for sure! Once dried down on the lips the formula still feels super lightweight and doesn't really feel that dry at all thank goodness, they do have an ever so slight tacky feeling when I rub my lips together to begin with but I'd much prefer that than dryness. The liquid lipstick also has a touch proof finish too, I literally pressed and rubbed my finger over my lips once the lippie had completely dried down and it never transferred onto my fingers, and the lasting power is phenomenal. Ohhh and did I mention they have a lovely light vanilla scent to them too, it's so yummy!

 The lip topper is a complete new formula for Feral and for me too and wow it's stunning, usually I'm not a gloss or lip topper kinda gal because of the fear of my hair being permanently stuck to my lips because of a sticky gloss but we need to praise the Feral makeup loving gods because this lip topper isn't sticky in the slightest, YASSSS!! I just cant stress enough how stunning this lip topper looks over liquid lipsticks and matte lipsticks, it's so pretty and twinkly and despite being such a sparkly gloss it doesn't feel gritty on the lips at all which is a bonus. 

Overall I really love this duo and cant recommend the Feral liquid lipsticks and now their new lip topper enough, the quality is just so so good and that's really saying something coming from me because I've always been a bit of a fuss pot when it comes to both liquid lipsticks and lip toppers, I'm always put off with the dry/tightness/cracking of liquid lippies but Feral Cosmetics are just so lightweight and lovely!

You can shop the Feral Cosmetics x Arpi Limited Edition Collection* on the Beauty Chamber website for £14.95 each HERE.

KIKO Jelly Jungle Collection - Highlighter & Liquid Lipsticks Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

If your holding onto Summer for that little bit longer then the KIKO Jelly Jungle Collection is where the parties at! This collection is super fun and playful, full of colour and super affordable, I even think a couple of products I've been trying out could definitely transition through to Autumn and Christmas too!

Firstly I've been trying out three of the KIKO Jelly Jungle Liquid Lipsticks* (£8.90 each), I have the shades Hypnotic Fuchsia which is cool toned hot pink shade, Hefty Red which is honestly the most Christmassy red I've ever seen, I'm quite shook that it's within the summer collection to be honest because it's so festive! Finally I have Vibrant Burgundy which is a grundy - very autumnal looking - deep burgundy and I love it! The formula of these liquid lippies is lovely, their weightless and smooth on the lips, their extremely opaque and pigmented after one quick swipe, they smell of tropical Papaya which is divine and they all have the most amazing metallic sheen to them which is so eye catching! The only tiny negative I have about these liquid lippies is that they do take a little while to set and remain on the tacky side for a while so that's something to bare in mind, other than that they are awesome and the quality is amazing!  

Of course me being the highlighter addict that I am I just HAD to try a highlighter from this collection (I honestly have problems y'all), I opted for the Liquid Highlighter in the shade Flawless Gold (£8.90) which is bright, light gold that honestly looks like gold foil, it's stunning! The highlighter itself comes in a gloss-like tube with a doe-foot applicator which makes it easier to apply if your after control and precision! What I absolutely love about liquid highlighters is just how versatile they are and KIKO's offering certainly doesn't disappoint, you can literally use this bad boy in all the usual places you'd normally highlight like the cheekbones, down the nose and on the brow bone but you can also use this one across the eyelids, on your body and you could even mix it with your foundation if you'd like! The light liquid texture of this highlighter is so soft and velvety on the skin and blends out like a dream, it even has a tropical fruity scent which is just lush, and fear not it isn't super glittery, it contains minute gold flecks within it which are so pretty without leaving you looking like a disco ball he he!

You can find the KIKO Jelly Jungle Collection online HERE or in KIKO stores!

Feral Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks - New Shades Revealed!

Hey beaut's!

Earlier this year I got my first taster of Feral Cosmetics, I tried three of their liquid lipsticks and was totally blown away by the gorgeous formula. If you haven't heard of Feral Cosmetics before their a US based, cruelty free and vegan beauty brand which are sold here in the UK on the Beauty Chamber website. Beauty Chamber have recently added six new Feral Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick shades to their website so of course I couldn't wait to get my hands on them and try them out, theres actually a whopping 14 shades to choose from on the site now, woohoo!

 What I've always loved about the Feral Cosmetics liquid lippies is their amazing formula and the new six shades certainly follow suit, the consistency and texture of these beauties is so lovely and I'd go as far as saying it's one of the best formula's I've tried in terms of liquid lipsticks! The product feels super thin and lightweight during the application process where as a lot of other liquid lipsticks I've tried are much thicker and heavier. Despite being thin in constancy they still pack a pigmented punch and are fully opaque in one quick swipe, you definitely don't need to build up the opacity that's for sure! Once these liquid lipsticks have dried down on the lips they still feel super lightweight and they don't really feel that dry at all thank goodness, they do have an ever so slight tacky feeling when I rub my lips together to begin with but I'd much prefer that than dryness. The liquid lipsticks have a touch proof finish too, I literally pressed and rubbed my finger over my lips once the lippie had completely dried down and it never transferred onto my fingers, the more intense/bright shades are quite a bugger to remove so theres no worries when it comes to lasting power. Ohhh and did I mention they have a lovely light vanilla scent to them too, it's so yummy!

The six new shades are super pretty and right up my street, we have a couple of stunning nudes and some daring brights too, here's the run down...

Rose All Day* - A gorgeous nude that literally goes with everything,  I can see this one being super popular!
Page Me 143* - This is my favourite shade and my most worn out of the six new shades so far, it's the perfect mauve-pink!
Say I Do* - A stunning warm toned nude, again this one is super versatile and goes with everything!
Sex On The Beach* - A super bright coral- pink, I think this one would look perfect with a simple plain eye and winged liner!
Mocha Holic* - A chocolate coloured nude, I think this would be perfect with a bit of Say I Do in the centre to create and nude ombre lip.
Unicorn Poop* - A bright violet shade fit for an unicorn loving queen, this one is super striking and is perfect for the more brave lippie wearer! 

(From left to right, Rose All Day - Page Me 143 - Say I Do - Sex On The Beach - Mocha Holic - Unicorn Poop)
Overall I really cant recommend the Feral liquid lipsticks enough, the quality is just so so good and that's really saying something coming from me because I've always been a bit of a fuss pot when it comes to liquid lipsticks, I'm always put off with the dry/tightness/cracking of liquid lippies but Feral Cosmetics are just so lightweight and lovely!

Valentines Red Lips With Essence

Hey beaut's!

Valentines Day is just two days away so if you haven't already then it's definitely time to dig out those red lippies and get your inner Marilyn Monroe on he he! If you've left it late or cant find the right shade of red within your stash I have a couple of super affordable reds from Essence that will have your pout looking so kissable!

I love the Essence Ultra Last Instant Colour Lipsticks* and have a few within my collection already but this red has to be one of my favourites. The shade is called 'Head To Ma Toes' and is a gorgeous poppy red with a satin finish, the formula is so creamy and some what balmy in texture which leaves my lips so soft, smooth and moisturised. The pigmentation is good but can be build up for a super intense payoff, and I can get a good 2-3 hours wear out of this shade before I could use a top up, and considering this lippie is only a teeny tiny £2.30 I think that's pretty good going!

If you want to go for a matte liquid lippie this Valentines Day then the Vibrant Shock Lip Paint in Bloody Mary*  (£3.30) is where the parties at...It's a bold, intense dark raspberry red shade which is absolutely stunning, it does need two layers for it to become fully even but once it's set...wow! It does take 5-10 minutes or so to completely set and during that time it does feel quite sticky but once it's set that feeling goes away and it feels lightweight and stays put for hours!

The Shine Shine Shine Wet Look Lip gloss in Red Carpet Scarlet* has really impressed me, that's quite a bold statement for me when it comes to a gloss as I'm not a huge lip gloss lover mainly because I hate that tacky, sticky feeling most of them have however....This Essence gloss isn't sticky or tacky at all and it doesn't feel thick or gloopy on the lips either, hooray! Also can we just appreciate how opaque and pigmented this gloss is, literally one swipe and it's opaque, I don't think I own any other glosses like it! For just £2.00 I think this gloss is pretty epic, it would be the perfect topper for any red lip or can be worn alone with ease!

As you can see from the swatches their such stunning reds, and the quality for the price is seriously impressive! I definitely want to grab a few neutral colours in that gloss now as that was really good!

You can find these Essence lippies in Wilko stores or on the Wilko website HERE.

Feral Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick Review - New Shades!

Hey beaut's!

Feral Cosmetics is a super new brand to me, that's because its actually a US based, cruelty free and vegan beauty brand which isn't that easy to get hold of here in the UK only on the Beauty Chamber website. Feral Cosmetics currently have two lip product ranges available on Beauty Chamber - Liquid Matte Lipsticks and Ultra Satin Lipsticks, they have five shades in their existing liquid lippie range but Beauty Chamber have literally just adding three new shades which I've been giving a whirl and thought I'd share my thoughts on today!

The Feral Cosmetics Liquid Matte Lipsticks come in clear plastic tubes with silver lids which hold the doe foot applicator inside. The formula of the Feral Cosmetics Liquid Matte Lipsticks is described as being creamy smooth, fully opaque with a touch proof matte finish, sounds pretty good right?? Now it's know secret that I'm quite a fuss pot when it comes to liquid lipsticks, I hate the dry, cracked feeling which happens a lot with liquid lipsticks so these beauties would have to be really good to impress me he he... 

I can happily say I am really impressed with these liquid lipsticks! The consistency and texture of all three of these is lovely and I'd go as far as saying it's one of the best formula's I've tried in terms of liquid lipsticks! The product feels super thin and lightweight during the application process where as a lot of other liquid lipsticks I've tried are much thicker and heavier. Despite being thin in constancy they still pack a pigmented punch and are fully opaque in one quick swipe, you definitely don't need build up the opacity that's for sure! Once these liquid lipsticks have dried down on the lips they still feel super lightweight and they don't really feel that dry at all thank goodness, they do have an ever so slight tacky feeling when I rub my lips together but I'd much prefer that than dryness. They do have the touch proof finish too, I literally pressed and rubbed my finger over my lips once the lippie had completely dried down and it never transferred onto my fingers, and the darker shades are quite a bugger to remove so theres no worries when it comes to lasting power. Ohhh and did I mention they have a lovely light vanilla scent to them too, yummy!

The three new shades are super pretty and right up my street, we have 

Skin Tight* which is a gorgeous beige nude which I know will be super popular, 

Home Wrecker* which is the most beautiful classic bright red and finally Berry Sexy* which has to be my favourite, it's a super dark mauve/berry shade, arhhh I love it!

Overall I really like these and I definitely want to try one or two of the other shades Feral Cosmetics have in their liquid lipstick line, they actually have a couple of mauve nudes which look STUNNING!

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Review

 Hey beaut's!

It's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of liquid lipsticks, we just don't get along much, I find them so drying and uncomfortable to wear usually, that was until I tried these beauties from Maybelline.

Maybelline's Super Stay Matte Ink Liquid Lipsticks come in 10 gorgeous shades ranging from nudes, brights and even darker vampy shades so theres certainly a shade to suit everyone. I have the shades 45 Escapist which is a super vampy plum, 20 Pioneer which is a stunning bright red, 35 Creator which is a pretty violet shade and finally 25 Heroine which is a super bright orangey-red. Out of the four shades I own I would say Pioneer is my favourite, I've been wearing it non stop recently because it's such a gorgeous festive red!

 The formula of these liquid lippies claim to have a smooth matte, second-skin effect in just one stroke that lasts for up to 12 hours with a super intense colour pay off, sounds pretty nice huh, but for me the big question was 'would my lips feel as dry and rough as sand paper'?! Well... After giving these a whirl I can definitely confirm that they really aren't drying, yes their matte but it's such a smooth, soft matte finish and the second skin claim really is true because my lips hardly feel like theres anything on them once the lippie has set which is very rare for a liquid lipstick. The colour pay off is crazy - each one is super opaque in one teeny tiny swipe and they last like nothing else I've tried before, so if you want a liquid lippie that's going to stay put all day without crumbling and without that super dry feeling then you definitely need to try these! The applicator is pretty dreamy too, it has a precise arrow applicator which makes it so easy to get crisp lines and an even coverage, I've honestly never found a liquid lipstick so easy to apply, usually I make a compete mess but theres something so amazing about this applicator! 

(From top to bottom - Escapist, Pioneer, Creator and Heroine)

I'm so impressed with these liquid lipsticks from Maybelline, finally I have found liquid lipsticks that actually tick all the boxes for me. I definitely want to get a couple of the nude shades now that are slightly more wearable, don't get me wrong I love a vampy lip and the red shade Pioneer hasn't really left my lips since I got it but I feel a couple of nudes would complete my collection!

Glam Stocking Fillers For Her!

Hey beaut's!

I think it's fair to say that most of us are now in full Christmas swing, well I know I certainly am he he, I've got a few decorations up already and I have indeed started my Christmas shopping, talking of Christmas shopping today I thought I'd share a few stocking stuffing ideas perfect for any glam, makeup loving gal in your life.

If your looking to save a few pennies on those glam prezzies and you also happen to be jetting off an a pre-Christmas business trip or holiday then World Duty Free is the place to go, they have so many makeup and beauty gifts which will be that little bit cheaper for you. My personal favourites are the NARs Man Ray Love Triangles* (£16.70), these cute triangles come with a Mini NARs Blush/Highlighter and a Mini Audacious Lipstick within them and theres so many colour ways to choose from, I have the Hot Sand Highlighter and the Rita Lipstick both of which are stunning and perfect for the festive season, and £16.00 for some NARs goodies is pretty impressive I think. 

Another favourite of mine is the Smashbox Metal Mouth Liquid Lipsticks* (£16.15), these are so cool because they glide on like a full coverage liquid lipstick but they have a glistening high shine finish just like a gloss in one single coat, and if your looking for a festive colour then you HAVE to go for Crimson Chrome, it's the most stunning metallic red!

If you have a girl in your life that loves her false nails* and lashes* then these are a must in her stocking and KISS have sooooo many lashes and nails to choose from, whether you want natural lashes or bold and dramatic to stiletto nails or short square ones, KISS have you covered! For the sophisticated woman's stocking you cant knock a Joan Collins Divine Lips Lipstick* (£18.00), I have quite a few of these myself and they really are amazing lipsticks - from the gorgeous gold packaging which is super lux to the amazing colours and quality you really cant go wrong! Finally nail polish, yup I think nail polishes are the perfect stocking stuffer and this shade 'Winter Garden' by Leighton Denny* (£12.00)  is a stunner, it's a raspberry shade that I think would suit most and it's so versatile for all year round!  

Would you like any of these in your stocking this year beaut's? Which is your favourite? I'd love to know!

Lip of the Day featuring Kylie's Candy K!

 Hey beaut's!

It's been quite a while since I last done a lip of the day post so I thought I'd do one today with my favourite lip product of the moment, the Kylie Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick in Candy K!

Now it's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of liquid lipsticks, we just don't get along much, I find them so drying and uncomfortable to wear usually, that was until I tried Candy K! Kylie's Candy K is the most gorgeous dusky rose nude shade, I wear these type of shades daily so when I first swatched this beauty I knew I'd get tonnes of wear out of it providing I liked the formula! Talking of the formula, it's so nice and different to every other liquid lipstick I've tried before, instead of feeling thick, heavy, sticky and dry Candy K is super lightweight and no where near as dry as other liquid lipsticks, I mean there is still a slight element of dryness but nothing major what so ever. It doesn't crumble or go patchy either and the lasting power is phenomenal, it's literally standing proud after eating a sarnie and cheeky donut on my lunch break, drinking and after a cheeky kiss and doesn't transfer either. The pigmentation is pretty intense too - I can literally cover my entire mouth with one swipe, so it's not wasteful at all! 

I'm totally obsessed with this shade at the moment beaut's, I can now see why Kylie says it's her favourite! Whats your favourite lippie to rock at the moment beaut's? I'd love to know!

Tanya Burr Martha Moo Matte Lip Review

Hi beaut's!

I'm a huge Tanya Burr fan so when I heard she was launching a brand new cosmetics collection for the summer I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. The collection is called Soft Luxe which is all about romantic, neutral shades with subtle lilacs and pinks and consists of two eyeshadow palettes, Enchanted Dream and Birthday Suit, which contain all new colours, three matte nail polishes – New Chapter, Piggy Bank and Soft Pyjamas – and three matte lip colours – Martha Moo, Puppy Paws and Rhubarb and Custard. I ended up getting both of the eyeshadow palettes to try and one of her matte lip colours in Martha Moo which I'll be reviewing for you all today.

Martha Moo is a gorgeous deep nude with equal amounts of muted brown and dark pink running through it, I was so drawn to this shade because not only was it the most muted shade out fo the three but theres something quite 90's about it to me and I'm absolutely loving that trend at the moment. Formulation wise... it's lovely! It's a super intensely pigmented, lightweight cream that quickly dries down to a matte finish, what I will say is that until this lip colour is completely dry it does feel quite tacky and sticky on the lips but like I said before that does go when the lip colour is completely dry. I was slightly worried about how drying Martha Moo would be on my lips, like most I'm not a huge lover of that dry matte feeling however as much as Martha Moo does feel matte on the lips it isn't overly drying, it's comfortable to wear and very light on my lips. Scent wise it has a very light vanilla smell to it but nothing overpowering or strong, it certainly doesnt have that sweet scent like Tanya's lip glosses do but that doesnt bother me.

As for Martha Moo's wear time... well I was blown away by it, this stuff literally does not budge from my lips once it sets, It doesn't transfer or come off when I'm eating or drinking, that being said if I was to eat a large amount of greasy food I'm sure it would come off quickly as the grease would break it down but so far it's stayed put every time I've eaten. I can even give my boyfriend a cheeky peck on the lips and it doesn't budge or transfer onto him, so wear time for me gets a huge 10/10! 

Overall if your a fan of liquid lipsticks then your going to love Tanya Burr's Martha Moo, it's lightweight, super opaque and doesnt need building up at all, long lasting and the shade is super pretty and for £5.99 you can go wrong really can you!

Have you tried any of Tanya Burr's new Soft Luxe Collection beaut's? What's your favourite product? I'd love to know!
