FOTD | Springy Days.

15 Apr 2014


Ever taken a load of FOTD pictures only to realise when you upload the photos that actually you have a ridiculous fringe throughout it? Yeah? That. So annoying :( It was badly in need of a cut that day too, so it looks rather interesting. Silly fringe aside though, I am loving this look for the sunny weather we're having at the moment! Gotta love a reddy-orange lip ♥

My Revlon Matte Balm hasn't left my handbag since I got it, its such a staple shade for me at the moment. I definitely think I'm going to invest in a few other shades from the Matte Balm range as I love the formula soo much. So handy to apply on the go without a mirror too which is great!

So what's on my face?

Base
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in 52
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in True Ivory
Nip + Fab Eye Fix Brightening Concealer
Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Translucent

Cheeks
Nars Deep Throat Blush
Benefit High Beam

Eyes
MAC Mineralise Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle 
Soap and Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen in Carbon Black
Maybelline Mega Plush Volum' Express Mascara in Black

Lips
Maybelline Baby Lips in Intense Care
Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Striking 

I hope you liked this look! :) What's your current staple lip product?

Review | Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm in Striking

18 Mar 2014


Its official. I've found my go-to Spring lip. Initially I wasn't going to buy any of the Revlon Colourburst Matte Balm's as to be honest I already have lots of balms from different brands in my collection. But, a few good reviews here and there and I was sucked in. I picked up the shade Striking and I'm literally in love with it.

Its a beautiful red, that has slight orange undertones on me. Its quite a bold colour, but is definitely buildable to create a subtler or stronger look depending on your preference. Its such a great colour I really think it would suit most skintones!

Despite being a matte finish the formula is super moisturising as the balms are made up of a Triple Butter Complex - shea, mango and coconut butters. I've found that the balm lasts really well throughout the day, and I only had to reapply once or twice after eating! The balms also have a (really) slight peppermint scent which is great for the mint lovers out there, myself included.

I think its such a perfect shade for spring/summer, and they're great to use on the go. Can you tell I love it? ;) Now my only question is which shade I should try next! Any suggestions?
