NYX LINGERIE LIQUID LIPSTICKS | LIP SWATCHES & FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Recently, I clocked on to the fact that NYX is available at Boots, a realisation my bank balance wasn’t so happy with. I’ve loved the bits I’ve tried from NYX previously, especially when it comes to the colour range for lip products - no girl can have too many almost identical lipsticks.

In the end I decided to stock up on the Lingerie Lipsticks as I’m into my matte, liquid lippies right now. I just find they’re so much easier, application wise! They’re all nude tones (be warned, ‘nude’ will be mentioned a lot in this post) so they’re just my sort of thing. I ended up buying five colours initially, before ordering another three as I wanted to do a more ‘comprehensive’ blog post - it’s amazing how many purchases you can justify for blogging purposes! There are 12 shades in total, but I skipped on a few of the lighter ones as I know they’ll probably make me look like death warmed up.

Overall, I’m really rating these, especially when you consider they’re only £6.50 each. I’d say they’re on par with my Gerard Cosmetics favourites, with a colour range that’s slightly more wearable. Texture wise they feel whipped/mousse like when applied, drying to a matte finish. I don’t find they’re crumbly or overly drying, nor do they leave my lips feeling minging when I’m wearing them. I am a bit excessive with collecting lip products, but I think all the colours I’d wear, with a few favourites along the way. 
Top Row L - R
Beauty Mark
Beauty Mark I bought after Teddy, mainly because I wanted to see if there was much difference between the two. If I’m honest, it’s minimal… The sort that only us folk that know the difference between Bare Study and Painterly would notice. I’d say this one is slightly reddish when compared with Teddy, the warmer of the two. 

Teddy
I haven’t tried the Kylie Cosmetics Lip Kits, but based on pictures both Beauty Mark and Teddy seem to have the ’True Brown’ look to them. On me, Teddy comes out greyer than Beauty Mark, a cooler toned brown. Teddy and Beauty Mark apply well, but I layer up a couple of times to get a really even finish. 

Exotic
Surprisingly, this is one of my favourites. I nearly didn’t go for it as it’s the least nude-y of the nudes, but I love it on. I just think it’s a really flattering colour - a deep, neutral looking pink. If you like MAC Whirl I think you’d be a fan of this one as I feel like it’s that sort of colour but better. More pink, more matte, more opaque and easier to apply precisely. 

Ruffle Trim
This is another I liked way more than I thought I would. It just feels summery - I know I’m going to love it with a tan. If you’re after something with more colour, I’d say both Ruffle Trim and Exotic are the ones to go for. 

Bottom Row L - R
Bedtime Flirt
Bedtime Flirt is that girly nude with a little bit of pink. I tend to go for brown/mauve toned lips, but I love this for something more feminine. I know I’ll end up wearing it loads as it seems like the failsafe colour for an everyday lip. 

Push Up
For a ‘nude nude’, this is life. I don’t feel like I look like I’ve got concealer on my lips wearing it, but it’s still completely neutral for my skin tone. I’ve been wearing this one for work as it’s a nice natural option for a matte lip. 

Corset
Corset comes out as a real skin tone on me, without the peachiness you usually get with nude lipsticks. It’s definitely got that greyish tone to it, and while it’s not something I’d wear everyday, I like to have different options like this in my makeup bag. It’s just a change from what I usually go for!  

Honeymoon
This one reminded me of MAC Stone, the darker greyish lip option. Somehow this one feels more wearable… I don’t think it’s quite as dark as Stone so I think it’s easier to pull off without feeling like you’ve suddenly got yellow teeth. 

Annnnd that’s me on a lipstick spending ban! Have any of you tried these out? Do they live up to any other liquid lip products you’ve tried?

slogan tee & cherry disco pants

Hat - River Island, T-Shirt - c/o Studded Petals , Belt - Primark, Disco Pants - c/o Glamorous , Boots - c/o Missguided I’ve been wanting to show you all this tee since it arrived. What do you think of the slogan?! I love it.. Such fun! Excuse the Miranda reference.. ‘such fun’ has now become part of my lingo. Ha. This is the closest I’ll be getting to anything Chanel related for a long time, which is fine by me.. it’s cute as a button. Fingers crossed though for one day earning enough mega bucks to end up flouncing around with a quilted 2.55 baby. Day dreaming yet again. Hopefully, you’re not all going to be turned off by a disco pants outfit. I know they’ve been overdone, but I’ve never really been the sort of person to be put off by something like that. If I like a trend or piece of clothing, I’ll still be wearing it even when everyone & their grandma’s has it. It’s more how you wear it I think. Annoyingly, I wore the t-shirt down after I’d take...

THREE LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS PARTY DRESSES

Image
Who isn’t a lover of a sparkly frock?! Okay, plenty of people, but even though I spend my life in all black, I’m still a fan of something glitzy. Christmas is a whole other ball game, and finding the perfect dress not only involves sourcing something occasion appropriate that suits you, but also something that feels a little festive. It’s not like red with a white fur trim is a must, but I do like something that makes me feel Christmassy… I can wear a bog standard LBD at any point in the year! For last minute options I’ve got three super sparkly numbers that can help you up the glam levels at the Christmas do. Motel Rocks Finn Slip Dress Okay, this is my most naaakud. It’s Christmas though, and if you can’t flash a bit of side boob at Christmas when can you?! Yup, you’re going to freeze your nips off, but you’re going to look like the twinkly star of Bethlehem on your night out. For dressing it down a little I think it’s perfect worn with a leather jacket and ankle boots....

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS AT BEAUTY BAY

Image
My kind of Black Friday deal involves makeup, and this year  Beauty Bay  is delivering all the deals.... Ummm, hello up to 30% off some of my favourite beauty brands!! To kick off the Black Friday weekend, Beauty Bay will be having one of its biggest sales to date, with some of the best beauty names on offer, including LA Girl, Kevyn Aucoin, Mario Badescu and Alpha-H. To celebrate all the discounted makeup goodness I’ve picked out my top picks to share with you… Yup, that’s Gerard Cosmetics and Lime Crime in there! I’m super excited to see both brands on offer – I’m so obsessed with matte, liquid lipsticks and these are both shades I’ll wear on repeat. I’ve used a few of the Gerard Cosmetics  Hydra Matte Liquid Lipsticks  before, so I knew I’d be sold on ‘Everything Nice’ – it’s just a really lovely pink for daytime and evenings. Lime Crime I’d not used before, but I’d always wanted to give the  Velvetines  a go… A discount on these was too good ...
