Revlon Lip Butter Raspberry Pie

Just a quick post from me today, normal service shall resume once my life here has calmed down a little!

I am a little late on the lip butter bandwagon, having gone for the Rouge Caresse by L'oreal! But I won this little gem and am totally in love!

scuse the unmade, hormonal skin!

I was surprised at how saturated the colour was!

I adore this colour, it is perfect for me, cool toned pink and so glossy without any stickiness and the best thing for me? No taste! I love the Rouge Caresse but detest the taste so shall be stocking up on these! 

I am also dying to try the crayon lippie too, since I cannot justify a Clinique Chubby Stick splurge this side of Christmas!

Revlon products are available in most high street retailers

L'oreal Rouge Caresse

I have decided that I do too many posts featuring just my nails or my whole face, so thought I should start doing a few more in depth posts on face make-up and thought I would start with my newest purchase.

 I have had an interest in these since seeing the advert as I am not keen on the infamous Revlon lip Butters! I decided to take a shot at the amazing deal for two of these on Buyapowa as I definitely wanted Cheeky Magenta after swatching it on my hand recently and also like a light pink
 



 Swatched on the hand Fashionista Pink was a bit meh, it didn't float my boat

 

My face is totally bare as I just swatched the lippies, so excuse the crater like pores!

 

Fashionista Pink is a really light pink on the lips, Not sure how long this would stay on the lip but it does feel

lovely and light

 This for me is the star of the set! I want to be braver with my lip shades and feel like this is a perfect step into brighter, funkier lip colours but without being in your face.

 

Rouge Caresse is available from all good cosmetics retailers and is available in 10 shades RRP £7.99 but currently 3 for 2 at Boots!

What do you think of blogging? (amazing new launch inside!)

Clearly I am pretty new to blogging. I did have one 5 years ago, but no-one really new what it was and it fell by the wayside.
Recently I was inspired to start a new one, not just about beauty products but mainly as it is something I love. At first I was kind of embarrassed, only asked people to follow who I knew wouldn't laugh but now I love it and happily get my link out there.

There are a few people who have been doing it for a long time and their blogs have really bought them amazing notoriety, one such personis Zoe from the great http://thelondonlipgloss.blogspot.com/
So influential is her blog that ReeRee Rockette and Zoe have collaborated to make a limited edition lipstick! ReeRee is a massive fan of social media and this lipstick was designed to celebrate that love.

The shade is called ZOMG! A mix of Zozo's name and the widely used OMG! Zozo and ReeRee worked hard to create the perfect colour and the shade chosen will suit most people but will be particularly great for pale skins, I myself cannot wait as I adore blue based pinks!

ZOMG! Will be available on the 31st of January priced £14 exclusively at www.rockalily.com



This is the amazing lipstick on Zozo, model Banbury Cross and ReeRee Rockette, all 3 are sporting the shade ZOMG! and all look amazing!



Zozo and ReeRee, the perfect combination for a collaboration



Zozo with her lipstick, how amazing is that?!



The achingly cool ReeRee, who owns the Rockalily site.

My first Face Of the Day and a brave one!

This is the L'oreal Infallible eyeshadow I got free in the gift pack. Its ok, patchy application though, will dampen the brush next time. Keep the black disc, it keeps the powder pressed down, even if you shake it (of course I did!) the shadow is still patted down. This is shade Hour Glass BeigeOk, so I am not blonde! But this red caught my attention, the raspberry shade was far too pink, so went for this in Cassis Passion and its pretty nice, smells of Parma Violets though, which I hate!



The lippie is pretty glossy, as this is my first foray into red lips for a long time, I blotted twice to take the shine away. Maybe when I am braver I will leave it!

L'oreal Gift with make-up purchase over £15

Admittedly I was a bit dubious about this offer, but glad I got it, I wanted a red lipstick and lost my foundation, so it made sense to buy them at Boots where this offer was still on, I got the last of the boxes on offer, not sure if they had more. I shall blog about the bought make-up and the free gifts with swatches and pictures of my mug!

Bobbi Brown Metallic lip

Metallic Lipstick

My first ever 'high end' purchase. Although at the prices of mid range make-up nowadays this will soon not be the case! I am starting to make more luxury purchases now, why pay £12-15 for what were the easily accessible, when you can pay just a couple of pound or even pay the same, for more professional brands that last longer. I love this lippie, I spent a long time at the counter being helped to find this shade. I adore the colour, until I open my mouth and I am paranoid that one diet coke later this shade makes my teeth look I need to bleach them sharpish!
