My Favourite Autumn/Winter Boots!

Hey beaut's!

It's now starting to get very chilly here in the UK and I can almost smell Winter  in the air so it's time to stock up that winter wardrobe with cosy essentials starting with boots. I absolutely love ankle boots, I just find they are so versatile and can generally go with any outfit from dresses with tights to jeans and even thick leggings with frilly socks, the list really is endless so I thought I'd share with you my favourite two pairs I've been living in at the moment from LOTD.

Taupe Four Buckle Western Style Boots* £20.00

I'm totally obsessed with these Buckle Western Style Ankle Boots from LOTD, not only do they look gorgeous with their suede effect and the trademark buckles that are everywhere at the moment but they are soooo comfortable, I've honestly never found a pair of blocked heeled boots that feel so comfy to walk in, I don't feel like I'm wearing heels at all, it's strange but so good he he! I think the price of these is incredible too, just £20.00 for a pair of well made, fashionable, super comfy boots cant be bad hey.

  Black Faux Suede Four Buckle Studded Boots* £30.00

These Faux Suede Four Buckle Studded Boots are perfect to whack on with a pair of skinny jeans and a massive jumper and your good to go! The detail on these is incredible though, from the four buckles and the stud's around the sole and the buckles, their so lush. Again just like the heeled boots these are super comfy and basically go with everything!

You can find both pairs of Boots along with so much more on the LOTD website HERE.

My Favourite Autumnal Lippies!

 Hey beaut's!

Autumn is here which basically means I'm as happy as a pig playing in mud right now he he, I embrace Autumn so much and switch things up with my home, baking, cooking, fashion and even my makeup and one thing I love embracing the most is an Autumnal lip. I love nothing more than rocking a berry toned lip at this time of the year but... I've also been leaning towards more 90's neutral tones too recently so I thought I'd share my favourites today!  

From left to right...

1. Revlon's Black Cherry Lipstick is probably my all time favourite berry lip colour, it's a rich burgundy-wine colour which is stunning for Autumn/Winter. It has such a creamy and moisturising feel on the lips too and lasts for hours on my lips, I hardly ever have to top up when wearing Black Cherry which I love! This is actually my second bullet as I used this shade so much last year that I needed to repurchase again this year, as you can tell I'm a fan he he!

2. MAC Whirl is such a 90's throwback shade for me and I love wearing it at this time of year, its a muted, medium-dark rosy brown with warm undertones and a matte finish, I think of it as my autumnal nude he he.

3. MAC's Twig is my fail safe lipstick, if I'm having one of those days when I just cant decide what lippie goes with my makeup or outfit I know Twig is always a winner all year round, I couldn't be without this mauve beauty!

4. Tanya Burr's Pink Cocoa lippie is another gorgeous autumnal pinky brown toned nude, what I love about this one is how nourishing and creamy it is, perfect for when my lips get dry in the colder months, it honestly acts like a lip balm with the colour pay off of a lipstick, it's fab! 

5. Revlon's Parisian Passion is a sultry plummy/berry shade that I love to wear on days when I want a berry lip but have awfully dry lips, the formula is super moisturising you see - because it's actually a moisturising stain, it goes on like a liquid lipstick but had a non-sticky gloss shine that feels really comfortable to wear!

6. Tanya Burr's Martha Moo is basically a matte version of Tanya's Pink Cocoa lipstick but in a liquid lipstick form, it has equal amounts of pink and muted brown within it making it the perfect autumnal 90's matte lip!

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 Lipstick in Pink Cocoa Reviewed!

Hey beaut's!

I have been waiting soooooo long to try Tanya Burr's lippie in Pink Cocoa, it's forever out of stock online and my Superdrug never even stocked her lipsticks in-store, well that was until recently when they had a huge refurbishment and now stock all the makeup I could ever wish for, so when I saw they finally had Pink Cocoa in stock I snapped it up straight away.

Pink Cocoa is the most stunning shade, it's a pinky brown toned nude perfect for everyday wear but it's totally evening worthy too, it's also the kind of shade that's perfect for all seasons and would go with most makeup looks from the stripped back to the more dramatic. The formula of the lipstick itself is stunning, it has a super creamy texture which is enriched with Vitamin E and a satin finish which feels so lightweight and nourishing on the lips, perfect for anyone who has slightly drier lips like I always do, and the pigmentation is fully opaque after one swipe so theres no need to build up the intensity of colour. Staying power is pretty good too, once the lippie has been on for a good hour or so the creaminess does dry down to more of a semi matte finish but it still stays in place well without fading for a good 3 hours or so without clinging to any dry patches which is perfect for me.

Also can we just take a minute to appreciate how pretty the packaging of the lipstick is, it comes in gorgeous gold coloured metal case which feels very lux and I definitely get YSL vibes from it. It certainly looks stunning on my dressing table and when I pull it out of my makeup bag or handbag for top ups.

Overall I'm so happy I managed to pick the shade Pink Cocoa up and I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how much I love the formula, I had no idea what to expect from Tanya's lippies but the satin finish is my favourite, I'm so happy their super creamy and not drying in the slightest and the colour Pink Cocoa is absolutely stunning and something I reach for everyday! I'll definitely be treated myself to a couple of her other shades within the collection soon.

You can find Tanya's Burr's Lipstick in Pink Cocoa for £6.99 HERE.

Blogmas Day 16 - Festive Lip of the Day

Hey beaut's!

It's blogmas day sixteen, wowza these days are flying aren't they... Today I thought I'd do a cheeky little lip of the day post as I haven't done one of these for a while and this one has a Christmassy twist, yup this lip of the day is actually going to be my lip combo of choice for Christmas day!

For lipstick I've gone for MAC's Viva Glam I. Viva Glam I is a deep but bright vampy red shade and has a lovely matte finish. This is the red lip that I always crack out for the party season because it just looks so dramatic on me and is such a statement lip. It's such a beautiful shade though and definitely one to have stored away in your MAC lipstick collection for sure!

To line my lips I'm going for MUA's Lip Liner in Red Drama! Can you believe this lip liner is just a teeny tiny £1.00, I know what a beauty bargain! Red Drama is actually quite a bright red lip liner, definitely brighter than 'MAC's Viva Glam I' but somehow they work amazingly well together, I line and fill in my lips with Red Drama first then pop over MAC's Viva Glam I and blend the two with a lip brush, this creates such a long lasting, beautifully bold red lip, I love it! 

Whats your favourite lippie to rock over the festive season beaut's? I'd love to know!

Blogmas Day 5 - My Top 5 Christmas Red Lipsticks

Hey beaut's!

And welcome to Blogmas day five...Now I absolutely adore a red lip however I don't wear them I huge amount throughout the year unless I'm going out somewhere fancy however....Because it's basically Christmas I have pulled out all of my favourite red lipsticks and have been wearing them with pride, I mean you've just got to embrace a red lip throughout December don't you. So today I thought I would share with you all my top five red lippies going from the more affordable all the way up to one higher end priced lippie.

1. First up is Makeup Revolutions Lipstick in Ruby which is an absolute bargain at just £1.00 wowza! Ruby is simply stunning, its a classic bright red shade with hints on pink running through it, it doesn't contain any shimmers at all and has a creamy finish, this one looks amazing teamed with dramatic black winged liner.

2. Secondly and another one by Makeup Revolution is their Rose Gold lipstick in Red Carpet. Red Carpet is a gorgeous pillow box red shade that would be the perfect night out lipstick over the party season because it's so glamorous and would go hand in hand with an LBD, plus the packaging is so stunning that you wouldn't mind having it in your clutch bag for any top ups. The formula of these rose gold lipstick by Makeup Revolution are gorgeous too, really creamy and highly pigmented with a satin finish.

3. Next up is Rimmels Kate Moss lipstick in 01, this is actually my second bullet of this because I used it so much last year I had to recently repurchase another to wear this year. Kate's 01 tends to be my everyday wear red lipstick throughout December because I find it's not too vampy or dramatic but is still a beautiful true red shade.

4. My next pick is L'Oreals Color Riche Lipstick in Place Vendome, this is such a beautiful, rich, red wine red. If you haven't tried any of the L'Oreal Colour Riche lipstick before then your missing out, the formula is stunning, their so creamy, long lasting and super pigmented, I love this one. 

5. Lastly but in no means least is the only luxury red lipstick I own MAC's Viva Glam I. Viva Glam I is a deep, vampy red shade with brown undertones and has a lovely matte finish. This is the red lip that I will be rocking to any Christmas parties because it just looks so dramatic on me and is such a statement lip, it is so beautiful though and definitely one to have stored away in your MAC lipstick collection!

Lip of the Day feat MAC and Barry M!

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 the lip combo I'm absolutely loving at the moment! I've actually worn this lip combo more or less everyday over last couple of weeks and have fallen in love with it all over again!

Firstly I lined my lips with the gorgeous Barry M lip liner in #15 Rose (£2.99). I picked up this shade because it's meant to be an exact dupe of MAC's Soar Lip Liner which I've been after for ages but it's always out of stock so Rose will have to do for the time being. As far as lip liners go I think Barry M done a bloody good job here, Rose is so velvety soft to apply whilst still being firm enough to create precise lines and the texture is stunning! I actually picked up another three Barry M lip liners after trying this one out because I was so impressed by the formulation!

The lipstick I went for to match up with the Barry M lip liner is another one of my favourites, Mac's Faux. Faux is a gorgeous muted mauve-pink with a satin finish which I find is the perfect shade for everyday wear and goes well with any makeup look, I love it! It matches perfectly with the Barry M lip liner and the two together are so long wearing, not to mention super pretty!
