My Go-To Lipstick This Winter

Hey Everyone!

So before we completely loose winter and move into the pastels and corals of spring and summer, I thought I'd tell you about the lipstick I have been absolutely loving the past season.

 

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in Shade 107 received quite a bit of hype as the winter months began- and rightly so. The formula is one of the best I've tried: smooth, extremely pigmented and has a really distinct, almost fruity smell, which I'm pretty much indifferent to. Because to colour is so bold, you need to be careful with application, but if clumsy  old me can do it, anyone can. Although its matte, its not drying at all and I don't have to wear a balm underneath  You might want to use a lip liner, but personally I don't feel I have to. The lasting power is amazing- much better than I thought, and even though it does transfer, the colour stays on your lips. It is extremely flattering and works as a evening or day shade. 

This is a lipstick that would usually be really out of my comfort zone because of how 'out there' it is but in winter I fill my wardrobe with maroon, so why not my makeup bag? I plan to wear this until the sun finally makes an appearance,and will definitely be getting it back out next winter.

Have you tried it?

Perfumes: A Tad Obsessed?

Hi Everyone!

Firstly, I'd like to thank you- I'm now up to 27 followers, which to me is such an achievement :) I'd also like to apologise for my lack of posts, I've been bombarded with studying and I'm afraid over the next few weeks it'll only increase so I'll only be doing a few posts a week.

Anyway, today I thought I would show you all my perfume collection. Like many things, at one point I was obsessed with perfumes, so I gathered quite a collection (to say the least). I have completely stopped asking for perfume for birthdays/Christmas as I am trying to get through all this but honestly, I've got enough to last my whole life. However, when I took it all out of my drawer I thought it looked quite pretty and you might be interested. 

I think ultimately my favourite thing about perfume is that each one triggers a different memory. For example, Far Away by Avon is a perfume that may not be very well know, but I am never without a bottle as it reminds me so much of when I was about four and my little cousin and I would go crazy with my mum's bottle. And the Kate Moss perfume really reminds me of a trip to Holland a few years ago. I literally could go on and on! 

However, at the moment, my favourite perfume is Marc Jacobs Daisy. I love all his scents and would buy them all if my drawer wasn't already overflowing. Daisy is so fresh and has a very unique scent that reminds me of summer and holidays. 

Which perfumes trigger memories in you? 

That's all from me today, I will hopefully be able to post at some point over the weekend. I'm off to spray everything in sight with a scent in the hope of using up some of this vast collection!

Night!
