Pouting for Summer! My Top 5 Out There Lipsticks For This Summer!

As an avid lipstick fan the summer period is when I can really experiment with out there shades and combos which I wouldn't usually rock in the colder months! Heres  an overview of my top 5 out there lipsticks for the summer months!



1) KYLIE COSMETICS - MARY JO K

Kylie Jenner has done a super duper job in creating a liquid lipstick craze and I myself have been drawn in big time! Ive been lucky enough to get every shade I've wanted without having to stress! Mary Jo is a beautiful crimson colour and one I cannot keep off of my lips! This would be a perfect all day shade that can also transition to night time glam!! I mean just look at it!! The formula isn't too shabby either, it doesn't feel drying or heavy on the lips and doesn't really need reapplying which is a bonus, if you can manage to grab this a lip kit I would really opt for this one, you won't be disappointed  💁🏼 






2) JEFFREE STAR - DIRTY MONEY

SHOW ME THE MONEY! Do you get it? no? okay well its a film reference but never mind lets talk lipstick! This colour is EVERYTHING! This green liquid lipstick has become an addiction to me! paired with a subtle eye this bad boy does all the talking! I love Jeffree Stars line of lipsticks and this was one I wasn't too sure about but BOY WAS I WRONG! I hold my hands up I thought this one was not me.... how wrong I was! This colour gives me life and makes my lips look so full. The formula is seriously good and doesn't budge for a vast amount of time which I love because reapplying lipstick to me is a very boring job! If you haven't tried any of the JS range yet... stop right now and order some because you will not regret it!



3) URBAN DECAY - HEROINE

This beautiful bundle of blue goodness is one of my most recent purchases and something I've had my eye on since UD released their new line of lipsticks. Heroine is a royal blue with a comfort mate finish and oh boy is this beautiful! Just one glide on the lips coats them with a full colour and I have to say it added so much volume to my lips! Paired with a natural eye or even a pop of colour this is going to be not only my summer essential but an all time favourite!!



4) JEFFREE STAR - JAWBREAKER

I love me a Jeffree Star lip and this shade is one I've been trying to get ahold of for a while and one that has been out of stock for such a long time! I seem to be slightly obsessed with blue lipsticks recently and Jawbreaker is a beautiful bright blue shade, similar to that of Pool Boy by OCC. When I popped it on my lips it was as if the heavens parted, I fell hard instantly! Its not a shade for everyone  or everyday but if you have the confidence I would highly recommend it! This shade would be awesome for a pool party or festival!!





5) LIME CRIME -  PEACOCK

DON'T KILL ME I actually really like this lipstick and yes I know its by a company thats had bit of 'history' but I can't help but love this colour! Peacock is just beautiful! A colour I have yet to find a dupe for, a colour I cannot get enough of! One swipe of this bad boy and your lips will be calling out LOOK AT ME! The formula is pretty good but I do usually have to reapply throughout the day which is something to think about! This beautiful teal blue shade really adds a pop of colour to any look and is one I am deffo keeping close to me this summer!



Jeffree Star Skin Frost Highlighters Review ❄️❄️❄️



Highlighting and strobing has been a staple in any beauty lovers everyday routine! Brands upon brands have jumped on the bandwagon and have delivered new and unique highlighters, bringing them to the beauty market.
 Jeffree Stars Skin Frosts have been one in particular that I have been waiting to get my claws into! If you follow Jeffree on instagram you know he's been teasing us for over 6 months about these highlighters and promised us great things, and oh boy did he deliver!


The skin frosts come in 4 shades; 

King Tut ; A gold toned highlighter akin more for darker skin types.
Peach Godess, ; A pink/peach toned highlighter 
Ice Cold ; A white highlighter with gold reflects perfect for fair skin!
Mint Condition ; A green highlighter! Yes I said it right a GREEN highlighter!!


Now the pan size on these babies is an incredible 15g! Considering on average a MAC highlighter is around 8-9g and is priced at £25 these highlighters are nearly double the size and for the same price! When Jeffree was saying these were going to be big he wasn't lying and now I get it...Size does
matter!



Unfortunately for me I couldn't grab these babies when they got released as they sold out so so so fast! Usually I get all my JS items from cocktail cosmetics but for reasons of which I will explain in a minute they decided not to put them on their website! Luckily I started speaking to this amazing girl called Charlotte who lives not too far from their retail shop and nabbed me some! For which I am truly grateful!

When the first batch of highlighters got shipped out to their new owners many people had opened their parcels to receive the highlighters broken into pieces! This was mainly with the shade King Tut, this saw many customers complain and become very upset which is totally understandable! Jeffree addressed the situation and explained that the delivery company that had moved the delivery had dropped over 3000 of the highlighters which were packed together, and that was why they had become broken, awesome enough though the company then went on to refund everyone or send them a new highlighter which I think is cool! So when cocktail cosmetics got their delivery 50% of the stock was damaged so thats why they decided to sell it only in their store, which I think is fair.

The packaging itself is so in line with the rest of  his products, the highlighter comes in a huge hot pink compact (which is larger than the size of my hand), with his logo on top. On the inside there is a giant mirror which is perfect if your doing your makeup on the go!
The product itself has his logo stamped on top of the highlighter which I think looks super cute.



Formula wise these are pretty good they are made up of finely milled product which makes them glide on the skin nicely and they are SUPER pigmented just one little swipe is more than enough to get you glowing!  However there are a few flaws. I find that especially with Mint Condition  the product does begin to clump at points which I first noticed after swatching the product, this can be rectified however by buffing it into the skin. I can also see why King Tut may be a little more fragile, just by looking at it in the pan it looks very delicate and when I first swatched the product it did feel like it could break.






I seriously love these highlighters! Not only are they an affordable product but the sheer size and uniqueness of the colours pushes them into the fore front of the makeup community! JS is already teasing us with his ever-growing line up and has recently revealed he is bringing out a black highlighter for Halloween and A lilac one in a few months named Lilac Snow! JUST TAKE MY MONEY  💰 

Everything Jeffree is bringing out at the moment sells like hot cakes so if you can get your hands on these products I would urge you to do so because they are AMAZING!




Jeffree is restocking two out of the four highlighters on the 16TH so quick go grab them before they go!

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Product Review! Part 1


So if you don't know who Jeffree Star is he was first known from his myspace days where he played around with makeup and had some music hits! He grew popularity pretty fast for his awesome makeup looks and don't give a shit attitude!



Now in more recent years he has released his own makeup brand which started with just 3 liquid lipsticks and has since expanded to a beauty empire! His products are so popular they sell out in minutes and the resale prices on depop and eBay are in the double digits! CRAY CRAY

I've been fortunate enough to nab pretty much everything except for 2 discontinued lipsticks * CRIES* and I have to say the products are really worth the hype! And to top it off they are Vegan and cruelty free Woo!




The liquid lipsticks are by far my favourite product he has brought out! Retailing at around $18 or £14 in the UK this product has really changed the lipstick game, offering long lasting finishes with a spectacular array or colours! I mean a White lipstick, who would have thought it ey?!
Some of the newer shades have a slight smell to them which is Root Beer and isn't too overpowering which is nice! I have to say though I'm pretty sure the formula has changed slightly for the newer lipsticks because I find these aren't as drying and don't dry as fast, but it could just be me! Now as you all know by now I'm a sucker for packaging and these oh boy do they just feed that habit! The tops of these lipsticks has his logo all over and size wise these are perfect to pop into your makeup bag or even a clutch on a night out.


Now I do have 4 absolute favourites and these are L-R Abused, Scorpio, Dirty Money and the newly released Rich Blood. I love these 4 the most because they are such different colours and they all look so amazing on! I find they add a great finish to a statement look and leave you looking fierce!

Jeffree Star Cosmetics also has a line of lip scrubs which I was slightly hesitant about purchasing because I love my lush ones and honestly thought nothing could compare to them..well...hold your horses because seriously these are AMAZING like really. The scents aren't too overpowering and they really do work. But best of all the amount of product you get is outstanding! Over double the amount of a normal lush one and at £9 a pop I don't think thats too bad at all.

Overall I really feel that Jeffree has really stepped up the makeup game with these products and Im seriously excited to see what he has next in store for us! Now he does currently have some face products which I will be reviewing soon but I have to say I can honestly see why everything he brings out is like gold dust and just sells out instantly!

If you want to purchase any of Jeffrees products you can get them from these sites; 





Until Next Time Lovelys!

November Favourites!

Wow I cant believe its that time of the month where we discuss my favourites! Lets all take a moments silence for the month of November and then realise that christmas is edging closer and closer!! YAAAY CHRISTMAS, but anyways lets get down to why we are all here, my monthly favourites...


Beauty Favourites

This month I've really been trying to rediscover old products that I haven't used as much and the Urban Decay Vice 3 is one that I have rediscovered and been loving this month! Ive practically used this palette everyday this month and have loved mixing and trying new colour combinations from the Vice 3! I cannot believe I forgot about this palette and feel like this will be a favourite of mine for a while to come!


So Boots have finally started stocking NYX cosmetics! and since I had a load of points I decided to get a few of the Velvet Matte Lip Creams...and boy was I glad! The consistency of these are amazing and I've been addicted to wearing them, especially the shade Transylvania which is a very deep purple/red colour and has been perfect for this past month..uh IM IN LOVE
Ive loved rocking an eyeliner flick this month and the eyeliner that I've been using is the Kat Von D one in the shade Trooper! Ive found that the tip is perfect for creating a clean cut wing and it seriously lasts ALL day!!! For me Kat Von D's makeup is an epic win no matter what she brings out but this is a stand out product for me! I will definitely be repurchasing this because I can see me using this basically everyday!!!


I love having super luscious lashes and fro me Benefit Rollerlash has been doing the job superbly. Ive found myself reaching for this more than I usually would and this is mainly because of the length and definition its been giving my lashes! Benefit do some great makeup items but for me this is by far my number one favourite!

Ive really been getting into priming my face and I've been obsessed with the new Soap and Glory primer! It feels so good on my skin and really does the trick and even though I suffer with combination to oily skin it has worked an absolute treat! I wasn't really expecting too much when I tried this one but boy oh boy was I wrong! Ive been using it so much I have nearly ran out...oops

                                         

The Tanya Burr Rose Flush Cheek Palette is one of my favourite palettes ever!! And that is a statement I don't say very often. The colour combination is fantastic and although I tend to gravitate towards the bronzer and highlighter more I have literally used this palette everyday since I purchased it! Although the bronzer looks very dark, once applied it is perfect and goes on so softly....uhhh I just love it.


Film Favourites!!

Theres a few films I've been loving this month, the first which will come to no surprise is Jurassic World, I actually went to see this for my birthday and as an avid fan I seriously loved it! My brother actually purchased the Blu-ray for me and I've watched it and watched it at least 6 times aha!

Another film/documentary I have just been mesmerised by is The Cove. This film literally broke my heart, its on the same wavelength as Black Fish and discusses the Dolphin culling in Asia. If you have the time to watch this DO IT, its truly mind-blowing and something you need to see!!


Music Favourites!!

Yet again this month has been dominated by The Weeknd, I have pretty much listened to their album everyday and cannot get enough! Both their new and older albums are laden with catchy songs and great beats so get listening! My favourite at the moment is House Of Balloons!

YouTube Favourite!!

So this is a new add in for me but this month I have been totally engrossed with the beauty which is Arden Rose. Now many of you probably know who she is but if you don't then get looking! She is so witty and funny and her videos are just awesome to watch, she brings a fresh approach to the youtube world and literally does not give a fuck which is exactly why she is my spirit animal aha!!



So yaaay I really hope you've enjoyed my favourites! I would love to know what yours our so go check out my instagram or twitter and let me know!

Palette Of The Month

Hello Everybody! I hope everyone is doing great and are enjoying the start of spring!

This months Palette Of The Month is *Insert Drumroll' The Kat Von D 'Esperanza Palette'.  I love Kat Von D's makeup range and feel that the colours in both the palettes and other beauty items are some of the best around.

When I first heard this was coming out I knew I had to have it. Fast forward a year and I am still loving this! Since spring has struck I've found myself reaching for this more and more. The packaging itself is very visually attractive, something Kat Von D's entire range has down to a T.


The colours themselves are very pigmented and the colour in the pans are the exact colours that transfer across, which is something you don't always get. The colour range shows a lot of different shades which are all interchangeable with each other to create both night and day looks, whether that be a smokey eye or a muted down everyday look. My favourite is the Transformer shade 'Dayglo' once applied on top of another shadow is transforms the colour to a different shade in different types of light and adds a shimmer. This is something I hadn't and still haven't seen in another palette and think its such a great addition.


*Unfortunately one of the shades didn't photograph. 'South' is very much a toned down peach colour which has a very powdery feel.


'What I will say is that I wish the palette had a more sturdier packaging, the inside lets the palette down display wise but other than that its a great palette to create some interesting looks for spring/summer 2015! and is something I will constantly be reaching for!

Hope you enjoyed it!
