Lipstick Loving

If you've followed me on social media for about a month then you will see the small obsession that has developed with Kate Moss for Rimmel London lipsticks.
It wasn't until the start of this year that I became into lipsticks because (I hate to admit it but I was into 'foundation lips') I really hated my lips. I still do it slightly just to make me feel better which I know isn't good as it is a bad look but I used to do it all the time because people had pointed out about how big they are. It started making me really conscious about the shape and the colour of my lips which made me want to hide them as I thought that they were horrible. It wasn't until the start of this year where I took a second to stop, look through the lipstick sections and realise that lipstick doesn't have to be bright colours and bring attention to the lips, it can disguise them in a pretty way. Since then I have been keen to rummage through the sections when I have the chance because I have really started to enjoy a good lipstick and believe me, they feel a lot nicer on the lips than foundation!
I came across this range around a month ago whilst doing the usual boots rummage and I instantly thought that I need all of them, even the daring ones.
Of course the first thing that caught my eye was the matte packaging as I think that it looks so chic but if you know me well enough by now, you already know that! I think that plain can say a lot more than what full on in your face can, simple is better in some cases.
Rimmel was actually the first brand of lipstick I brought as I knew I had to start somewhere and they have a large shade range so it was easy to choose from. The Kate Moss collection, I would personally say is more pigmented than the normal range when comparing on the selection I have on normal vs collection. The thing I think that I like the most about these lippies is that the finish is just so creamy on the lips and although its not full shine and more on the matte side, its no where near drying and I have the driest lips ever and mine are happy to wear these! If you thought that it could get any better, I actually noticed the other day whilst rocking one of these bad boys is that it actually lasts quite along time and through drinking and eating too. For a £5.49 lipstick, how can you go wrong?
I have 3 nude colours and two colours that are way too daring for me and I haven't actually used before but it felt good to know that if the moment ever came where I felt like I had the confidence to wear a bright lipstick, I have one there! The range of colours has really com along leaps and bounds so there is definitely something were for everyone.
If you haven't all ready had a snoop with the lipsticks then I highly recommend that you do has they will but a staple in your collect as they are mine.

As always, leave your links and if you have any of the Kate Moss range then let me know!

July Faves '14

Lets just take a minute to appreciate this time of the month. Its's the 'yay, lots of things to read and watch on youtube for a week!'

I didn't do a favorites last month as I didn't really buy anything new and there's no point if its nothing interesting but this month is a whole different kettle of fish. Just a warning, there's a lot of lip pies.

So yeah, from the photos, you can see that its mostly cosmetics because I got a few new things this month and i've been loving them!

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Palette

As July has been rather warm, i've really been enjoying the more natural highlight with a lot less make up during the day. I did a full review on this beauty when I first got it a while ago which you can check out here. I just think that all of these shades are perfect for that natural summer glow.

Mac Fix+

This has seriously been my holy grail product during the warmer weather as its helped my make up really stay put and gives my make up a really natural look to it which is what you need in the warmer months! Thick make up is a no go situation at all in the heat. That will just melt right off your face.

Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Hydrating Lotion

I actually suffer from quite dry legs and my skin is dehydrated a lot of the time so I like something that I can put on my skin and still feel the softness of my skin after 10 hours. This is the 400ml bottle but a lot goes a long way so I know that its going to last a long time! There is 3 more versions of this lotion, Dry, Very Dry and Rough & Dry which amazes me as this was so good for my skin and its only the bog standard one! You're probably thinking, why get the normal one if you have really dry skin? I have a serious thing for Aloe Vera as it is so good for your skin and this was smelt so good. If you have a chance, go pick it up at Boots as its on offer for £2.09 for 250ml which is smaller than this one but definitely worth a try.

L'Oreal Collection Privee By Cheryl

I been really loving this shade this month, if you haven't seen my review on this then you can check that out here. I just think this colour really suits my skin and I have just been loving the texture and the feel of this lippy. It took ages for me to get it so of course I love it!!

L'Oreal Glam Bronze in 06 Golden Bronze

If you do not have this in your life, move, go get it, right now. That is how serious I am! When i first swatches this I was completely amazed by how creamy this powder bronzer is. It is the nicest bronzer I have ever used as it is so blendable and soft on my skin.  The lighting isn't great but it is actually lighter than Nars Laguna and so much better to blend and is so soft on the skin. For £7.99 its a complete bargain! I cannot praise this item enough.

Maxfactor Colour Elixir Lipstick in Angel Pink

I love the pattern of this lipstick, I feel like it makes the colour look so much more natural. I've just really been enjoying the lovely sheer pink colour on my lips when i want to look like I've made more of an effort. Its just such a comfortable colour on the lips and is really moisturising. I don't really like the packaging but the product its self is the bomb.

Real Techniques Blush Brush and Powder Brush

I recently got these and I really love them, they're just such good quality and they make, make up application so much more easier. Sorry they are dirty, but this is real life and I used them to put my make up on with this morning. If you don't have the full Real Techniques collection then you should because they you get good bang for your buck.. if thats how they say it.. I think. *silent moment*

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Nude Eclipse

This is a best till last moment because if you follow me on social media then you would know that I have seriously been loving this sooooooo much. Have a look at my review on it so you understand the love I have for it here. I just really love the texture and the finish on these! For a first time lip lacquer user, I have officially been converted.

Hope you enjoy my faves guys, leave your links down below so I can check them out!
